This tutorial will show you and teach you how to make thumbnails using a freebie called Infranview Thumbnails.

Steps to make an image to a thumbnail

  1. I downloaded this image form this website http://www.ikp.unibe.ch/lab2/ppnew/pp5/inborn_files/slide0021_image034.gif
  2. Open InfranView Thumbnail
  3. Find where your image(s) is place AND select image (s)

Before we continue, please go to Options > Set Thumbnail Options … I have my setting setup like this

When you are done just click OK

  1. Now, go to File > Select single thumbs as single images…
  2. Go to your folder using windows explorer and you should have a new file created with “filename_t.jpg” in the end. Here is an example.

You are done. Now you have your old image and with the new thumbnail.

Secure your computer from viruses

Leave a reply

Securing your computer it is beyond of just having an anti-virus. Couple of years ago, having an anti-virus would do everything for you to catch most of the viruses. Well, now that it is gone!!! Now in order to be fully protected you would need to have more than an anti-virus installed on your computer. Here I will introduce you couple of free tools that you could use in order to be more protected than ever.

One of the tools is Ad-Aware. This tool will scan for any time of malware and/or spyware that it is installed in your computer without your knowledge. The other tool that I will introduce to you is Spy-Boot Search and Destroy. This tool it is similar to Ad-Aware, but this one catches what Ad-Aware doesn’t catch. Last but not least, WinPatrol. This tool it is a registry tracker. What it does is that tracks the changes on your registry and asks you if you made that change. Because we know since malware its install in your computer without your knowledge with this tool you would be able to indentify if a change was made in your registry without your knowledge.

For more information and download about this apps, please visit their corresponded website. Ad-Aware please click here or visit http://www.lavasoftusa.com/single/trialpay.php. Spy-Boot Search and Destroy please click here or visit http://www.safer-networking.org/en/download/index.html. WinPatrol please click here or visit http://www.winpatrol.com/.

Infranview is a small and compact program that allows you to be a creative person with basic tools. Infranview is a freebe application that I found navigating through out the web. Infranview allows you to open most of the images extensions available without any problem.

InfraviewBut what is it that I really like about Infranview? The feature that I like the most about Infranview is InfranView Thumbnails. This add-on comes with InfranView program. This program allows you to quickly make thumbnails with couple of clicks. All you have to do is to go to the desirable folder, pick the images and then create the thumbnails. The thumbnail sizes run from 50×50 – 800×800 pixels.

Social Web Browser Flock

Leave a reply

This is the first open source social web browser ever made in history. This web browser it is based on Mozilla Firefox solutions from Mozilla. Developers called “the social web browser,” because of the web services that are integrated in such a browser.
The question that you might be asking yourself is if you would really need Flock installed in your system?!
Well, this is really easy to answer. If you have more than one social web account such as: Facebook, Flickr, Twitter, YouTube, Photobucket, Blogger, WordPress, del.icio.us, ect., then I would highly recommend you to be part of the Flock family. Flock will defiantly make your life much easier. There will not be a need of you to be login-in, login-out or visiting a social web. You will have all of those accounts in one web browser, which it will give you the current updates of your friend status. Also you will be able to upload photos from Flock directly to the desire social web server.
Also another cool feature of Flock is the “Media Bar.” This feature will allow you to see photos and videos on the top of your web content. All that you will have to do is to browse on the media bar while you are searching for something different on the web.
Last but not least, one of the most important features is blogging. With Flock you will be able to post your blogs directly from the web browser without the need of going through other programs.
