WebShot is a software that able you to take picture of your website from top to the bottom. The function that it gives is same like you press printscreen key from the keyboard but if using printscreen, it will only capture half of your website. And WebShot can capture the whole page.
You can save the output in various picture formats whether JPG, GIF, PNG, or BMP formats. WebShot will automatically determine the width and height of the website to ensure that it captures the website accurately.
Type a lot! Yup, there is no way you can type faster if you not punching the keyboard everyday.
When I was young, I want to type faster like the person in a movie that I watched. It would be very cool when you can type faster and don’t have to see the keyboard while you typing. Then, I thought I need a typing software to practice but that software does not really help me. I make a lot of errors if I use the typing technique. But in case you want to try the software, here is the link.
Have you ever played Rubik’s Cube? A cube which have 9 tiles on each surface with different colours and you have to solve it by making all surfaces have same colour?
I only managed to solve the first layer only. When it comes to the second layer, I can’t get it solve because I always disturb the first layer whenever I try to solve the second layer. It is so difficult if you don’t know the technique.
Fortunately, I found an easier way to solve a Rubik’s Cube problem. Go to Eric Dietz Rubik’s Cube solver page. Enter your Rubik’s Cube colours combination and click Solve. Then, another page will come out and display step by step to solve your Rubik’s Cube combination. Just follow the steps and you will get the result at the end.
When you found a suspicious file, you might want to scan it using your favourite antivirus scanner. But do you think that your antivirus gives 100% accurate result? Or, would you like to scan the suspicious file using more than 30 antivirus scanners which of course will produce a better output?
VirusTotal is a website that provides you the solution to scan a file with more than 30 antivirus scanners. You just need to submit the suspicious file to VirusTotal and then VirusTotal will start scanning the file. After a few minutes, VirusTotal will give you the results from its 37 antivirus scanners.
Although VirusTotal can scan a file using 37 antivirus scanners but it does not mean your PC is protected from viruses. It only can scan a single file and it is on demand. There is no way a website (VirusTotal) can protect your PC 24/7. You have to install antivirus like Kaspersky Antivirus and make sure to run it in real-time mode.
The idea is simple. Just put the combination lock to the USB connector and the data inside the USB have been protected physically.
But in my opinion, it is not as secure as you might think because I was successfully cracked a combination lock by bruteforcing it. It just took about 20 minutes to turn the combination and unlocked my uncle’s briefcase. Don’t think me wrong. My uncle forgot his briefcase combination and I helped him to recover it. Seriously, it is easy to unlock but takes a lot of time to bruteforce.
When we delete a file, that file will move into Recycle Bin. There, we have options whether to restore it or just empty the Recycle Bin.
I usually empty my Recycle Bin before I shut down my computer. But, it would be more better if evertime when I delete a file, it will completely remove the file from the system and not send into the Recycle Bin. I can choose to use Shift+Delete but there is another better way to do so.

More interesting post in my Archive page.
A friend asked me how to backup her emails in Mozilla Thunderbird. Well, the question is simple and she can find the solution from Google but because she is too lazy and has not much knowledge about Thunderbird, so I helped her by installing MozBackup, a backup tool for Firefox and Thunderbird.
MozBackup is a software that can backup your emails, contacts, extensions, and Thunderbird settings into a single file. This file is transferable and you can restore your Thunderbird by using this file.
Let say if you want to format your PC and want to backup your emails in Thunderbird. Run MozBackup and it will create a file which contains your Thunderbird emails and everything you have ticked to backup. Keep that file in thumbdrive and format the PC.
Sometimes when you open too many applications and folders, your taskbar will be flooded with so many taskbar buttons. And if you are a neat person and love everything in order, you might want to organize the buttons properly so you can do your job more efficiently. To do that, I suggest you to get Taskbar Shuffle.
Taskbar Shuffle is a small program that able you to re-arrange the taskbar buttons. You are freely to re-organize the buttons as you want by just drag and drop the button.
If you have a top secret and confidential data, where you will save it? Will you put it on your Windows desktop? Or put it in your My Documents? Of course you will answer NO to these two questions, right? If we do not secure our confidential data or file, there is no point we classified it as confidential. So we need a special mechanism that can protect the data. And another question is, what mechanism that we can use?
I choose TrueCrypt. TrueCrypt is a free open source software that able to create file container which you can use as virtual drive on your computer. The file container is encrypted depending on the encryption algorithm that you choose upon the creation of the file. You are also required to enter password to protect the file container.
The file container is like a normal file that you can copy, delete, cut and paste on any digital media storage such thumbdrive. Although you create the file container in Windows, but you also can open it in Linux platform as long as you have TrueCrypt installed in the operating system.
Lets go back to my example above. If I have a confidential file that I want to encrypt, I will create a file container using TrueCrypt and then mount the file to the computer. TrueCrypt will prompt you to enter the password. If the password is correct, TrueCrypt will mount the file container.
