A few days ago, I have posted about cool dekstop calendar software called Rainlendar 2. All the new features are great. But I don’t know how to edit the style settings like I did in the earlier version.
After I searched at their support forum, I found a topic discuss about this problem. If you want to edit the skin style settings, just rename the skin file extension to .zip and edit the xml/elements.xml. Edit what you want and save the new settings. Then refresh Rainlendar 2 and see the changes made.
Another problems that I currently working on are how to add new categories and how to edit the text colour. If I found the way to resolve these problems, I will update this post again. [tags]rainlendar, rainlendar 2, software, tweaks, how-to[/tags]

Yesterday my friend SMS me to send an installer (executable) file via email. So I use Gmail as my primary email account and attached the file. But when I want to send the email, Gmail warned me that it does not allow any executable file send from Gmail. I’m sure this is regarding of the security issues. So how I can send the executable file? Here is the trick. 
Ok let say the file that you want to send name is Executable.
-
Go to Folder Options (My Computer > Tools > Folder Options)
-
In
View tab, uncheck “
Hide extensions for known file types“.
And the file will look like this
-
Then
rename the extension .exe with other extension like .jpg. Windows will prompt a warning message, just click “Ok”. The file icon will be changed to .jpg icon and now your executable file is in .jpg format.
-
Send the file to the receipent.
-
After the receipent recieve the file, ask them to rename the extension file with .exe or it will not work.
Note: I have try this many times in Gmail and it works and I’m sure this trick also works in other email services. Because you send an image file not executable file.

When I upload a folder image to my site via FTP, there is a file called Thumbs.db go along with it. What is that file? I wondered.
What is Thumbs.db?
Thumbs.db is a file generated by WindowsXP each time you view folder contents in “Thumbnail” or “Filmstrip” view. This file is a cache file which use by WindowsXP to load up faster the next time you browse that folder.
How to remove it permanently?
You can delete Thumb.db and send it into Recycle Bin but it will keep appearing because by default thumbnails cache is enable in WindowsXP.
To get rid of it, go to My Computer > Tool > Folder Options > View and check “Do not cache thumbnails”.
Be Warned
By enabling this option, it will take a long time to open folder that contains large image files or quantity because the thumbnail images not been cached in Thumbs.db before.
