Windows Operating System is the most used operating system today. Unfortunately people forget you can get alot more speed from the system by editing what Services are running. Let`s say you don`t have a printer. This way you don`t need the print service running. Stopping services requires knowledge about each one to prevent stopping an important service.

To do this in a safe way you can install an application like Ashampoo Winoptimizer or Tuneup Utilities or you can do it online [...]

Creating a site isn’t that hard, but making it work properly on a few dozen different browsers, and most of them, with different behaviors depending on the operating system… now, that’s art! Since installing a few operating systems and running all those browsers to test your pages would really be a productivity killer, please let me show you something that’s going to make your life a lot easier…

… and that “something” has a very suggestive name: Browsershots. The idea behind [...]

One of my morning “rituals” includes jumping around the house, having some fruits, and then checking email/news, as well as spending a few peaceful moments enjoying some images, usually professional pictures of fruits/vegetables/remote places. No need to get into detail more than that, but I am sure you’ll agree with me that a site for those who have similar habits would be nice, as long as you have enough images that you can freely use and the right script to [...]

When talking about font collections, I have plenty of them. The only problem is that I have to check my CDs and DVDs catalogue to find the locations of those archived font collections. To make things even more interesting, I have at least a dozen archives on different disks, so… Web-based services like myFontbook are clearly better than my old-fashioned approach!

To go straight to the demo mode, just click here. Pretty cool, don’t you think? Even more, you can register [...]

While deploying a site may not give you really big headaches, keeping it up can surely do that, no matter how reliable may be the server(s) used to host that site. Being able to send custom HTTP requests and view the responses in a timely manner can help troubleshooting a Web-based project a lot, and that’s exactly what hurl does!

To be more accurate, we’re talking about another online service designed to help Web developers, and since it’s also free, I [...]

What is a secure password? Sure, “John” is completely trivial, especially if your account name is John Doe, but is “12John93″ much better? How long would it take for someone to hack your email account and get access to the confidential data that could make you lose your job?

When it comes to secure passwords, there are a lot of questions to be asked, and while the answers are very straightforward, some people simply won’t understand. Yesterday, for example, I helped [...]

Ladies and gentlemen, now’s the right time for another image gallery script! What makes me say this? Well, yesterday I messed with some pictures of mine (trying to put some shots together into a HDR image, stuff like that), and that made me think about those thousands people doing the same, and ending up with some shots that need to be nicely shown to the world…

EOGallery is a jQuery-powered image gallery that may not be exactly a product for the [...]

Some time ago, I was talking about very simple tools that come with a single purpose, and those online behemots some love while others hate, like the SEOmoz tools package, for example. Now, the time has come for another really straightforward tool, namely Spiffy Corners, sometimes referred to as Rounded CSS Corners.

Since I already told you about the “nickname” of Spiffy Corners, the secret is no longer a secret – this online tool helps you easily create a box with [...]

Some say that MooTools is the best JavaScript framework in the world, and I can’t disagree with that. On the other hand, I can’t agree with it, either, but it’s surely a pleasure to check so many excellent tools build using it, and today’s piece of MooTools code is a highly customizable image gallery using the notorious coverflow approach…

… namely MooFlow! Coming from Germany, this script allows you to use JSON or HTML with selector-filter as data source when loading [...]

No matter if you’re using inline style tags or external CSS files, Cascading Style Sheets is supposed to be very easy to handle, even by those without any specific programming experience. Ain’t that just cute? Probably, but it also happens to be wrong pretty often, and that’s why I decided to tell you about a CSS code generator today.

The name of this online tool is pretty straightforward – CSS Creator. Its obvious purpose is to help you reduce the amount [...]
