Google visit card

Surfing around the Internet, I have found this very creative idea for a visit card. It’s about Google visit card (link by imaticx). Visit card looks like this one

From pure curiosity, I decided to create my own in Adobe Photoshop to see how it will “come out“. And for me, the result is more than good (although it must be a few centimeters bigger, but that’s not some problem because everything is in source .psd file). (more…)

Windows 7 RC – free download

In a few days Microsoft will have released RC version (Release Candidate – version which will be almost like final one, if there aren’t some very dangerous bugs) owner operating system named Windows 7. Months ago, there were many different BETA versions avaliable only to subscribers and BETA testers, as others have other “ways“ of getting it. Now finally, the long awaited RC version which you can download from their website (with legal key) for free. This version will last till 1.6.2010., and from 1.3.2010. your computer will shut down every 2 hours. After download you must activate it within a period of 30 days. The version is avaliable in 32-bit and 64-bit version. All you need to do is create a Windows Live account (if you have one, you needn’t create a new one), go on Windows 7 page, at the bottom of the page choose 32-bit or 64-bit version and click on Go. You will pass through a few steps and you can download the complete version, with legal key – for free. They say that current RC version will be avaliable at least ad the end of July.

MathType 6

The first post on my website i.e. blog was about LaTeX (i didn’t translate it yet), which is one of the ways to type mathematical formulae in the computer. In that post, I mentioned easier, much simpler variant of typing formulas – and that’s with Microsoft Office package which is on many computers today, based on the Microsoft Windows operating system. In this post, I’ll briefly overview it and describe what you need to install/configure and how you can speed up your formula typing. In my tutorial, I will use software for which you must pay – MathType 6. In the Office package itself there is add-on Equation Editor by which you can also type mathematical formulae, but if you write a lot of formulae/equations, with MathType software, you won’t go wrong because it has the possibility to put shortcuts into the toolbars, via mouse or keyboard and many options available, that are adjusted for many mathematical formula “types“. Also, I used Office version 2003 (old but stable).
Buy MathType 6 and install it. (more…)

ASCII poster

ASCII (American Standard Code for Information Interchange) is a standard for information transfer – more common if the information is in English language. “Peasent“ says – it’s a text as we see it on computers, electronic devices and equipment which show some text. With that text (combination of numbers, letters and signs) we can create different shapes and pictures – that’s called ASCII Art. It’s a classic way to express themselves, like pirate groups which have their own logotypes and .nfo files which contain information about some pirated software. One example of that file pirate group Razor1911. (more…)
