Block Posters: Make Images into Large Prints

This is an interesting idea. http://www.blockposters.com will take an uploaded image and reproduce it as a multipage PDF which can be printed and then hung up like a large poster.

I am noting this because I know of some youth and young adults ministries which would be able to make great wall decorations with this. It has an interesting look to it which catches your eye. Sure, you could do this on your own, but could they? It also takes only a moment to produce and is ready for your printer. I would recommend not using a little ink jet for this, and a dot matrix would be right out.

Firefox Inside Firefox

Copy and paste this into your Firefox address bar.

chrome://browser/content/browser.xul

Yes, it is almost completely useless, but you can have a Firefox window inside a Firefox tab. That means tabs inside tabs too.

Go To Bed: Time Change

I had no idea that the Daylight Saving Time change would catch so many off guard. I am working at the church tonight and have to keep reminding people they will be losing an hour.

So, I hope everyone leaves a bit earlier so I can go to bed a bit earlier.

How to Investigate a Windows PC

I hope I never have to use this and I hope nobody ever has to use it on a computer of mine, but this document from Microsoft looks very interesting.

Fundamental Computer Investigation Guide For Windows

The document includes information for building an investigative toolkit as well as good practices. I was hoping that they would have some good partition duplicators available. Before digging into a drive I would like to make a duplicate of it in order to go back to a fresh start if anything should go wrong. Something like GParted would be good for that.

Cheap LEDs from Best Hong Kong

This is another note to myself that others may be interested in.

http://www.besthongkong.com has some really good prices on LEDs. 50 IR LEDs for $5 with $3.87 shipping is pretty good.
