PC Pandora: this is a new monitoring software application that “allows parents to record, review, and play back everything their children do online, including all their logins, passwords, instant messages, emails, and every web site visited”.
After hearing all of the recent news about pedophiles targeting children using myspace.com, this looked to me to be a great way to protect children against this kind of behaviour.
I think that if there was one way to focus in a project with which to learn PHP and MySql, would be to create some kind of famous-quote “manager”.
I have tons of favorite quotes by a wide range of authors, such as Neville Goddard, James Allen, Emmet Fox, Brian Tracy, Jim Rohn.
Added: I forgot to add that being more familiar with PHP would allow me to adjust my wordpress templates with more authority! I hate messing stuff up because I don’t know how it works.
I’ve had two php books on the shelf for a while that I haven’t touched.
Now I think there’s too many reasons not to finally start a regular study session each day with the first book ( which is Beginning PHP and MySql by W. Jason Gilmore).
It’s hard to stay in one place to type this. I’m one of those people who gets leg cramps when I eat bananas after not eating any for a while, instead of the reverse situation, of not getting enough potassium.
Just wanted to share an idea that might help out if you use ftp software frequently. Especially if you have many different locations within your FTP server, where you transfer files.
My own example:
I copy files to a number of different locations on one particular FTP server:
I got an email from Corel, because I was a registered WINZip user (which is owned by different company who obviously struck a joint venture deal with Corel).
They were offering PaintShop Pro X (ten) at a good discount, and it came with “Creative Edition” (I installed this C.E. thing, and I’m sure those extra features are in there, but not sure in which menus).
Defragging can be kind of a lengthy task. Try minimizing this by doing a little “prep” work:
1. Get rid of Compressed files (zip, etc..)
Do you have a folder where you download program installation files? They are probably large files over 10mb, that ends with msi or zip. You most likely don’t need them, especially if you are already organized enough to already have your software serial numbers, etc., in a list or database. You could then, later if you need, connect to the company website and re-download that registered file. Why keep it on your drive? They have a big enough hard drive to keep it 
(I once downloaded Google Earth for the fun of it, and had installed it.. but I had also noticed that I kept the installation file on the drive - over 11 MB )
2. Audio Files -
If you have a need for
, especially demonstration or “tutorial-type” videos to teach or to showcase a particular feature of a software application, I heard about an open-source version of Camtasia, called “Camstudio”.It’s at http://sourceforge.net/projects/camstudio/.
I have not attempted to download or try it, but wanted to pass this by anyone who had been planning on obtaining Camtasia but maybe a little strapped for cashola and wanted an alternative.
There’s many times where I’ve wanted to provide a kind of visual explanation that is superior to just having screenshots on a page. Plus it’s funner to do. But the thing is, you’ve got to check that the hosting plan you purchased has enough bandwidth. Then again, there are video servers that will host your video nowadays, if it’s something had wide appeal.
