tricks of the trades

Keep it small

If you're planning to get a compact camera, there's one golden rule you should always adhere to: make sure it'll fit into your pockets or handbags. If you need a seperate bag to carry your digicam, you'll definitely be too lazy to pack one whenever you head out. If you're not too fussy about picture quality, get yourself a camera phone instead (make sure it's at least 2-megapixel) and go snapping away.

Quick access to folders

WINDOWS Vista has many new user-interface features - the most clever being the folder shortcut links on all folder windows and open/save dialogue boxes. On all of these windows, there is a bar to the left with a list of your favourite folder links (i.e. Desktop, Computer, Documents, etc). Just click on any of the shortcuts and the current window will open the intended folder. You can remove folder links from this bar by dragging the folder icons from it, or add new ones by dragging a folder into it. And you can even arrange them by dragging them up or down within the bar.

Zoom in and out

If you'd like to temporarily increase the font size on a webpage, there's a shortcut for users of wheel mice. With a webpage displayed, hold down the Ctrl key as you spin the mouse wheel. Spin in the opposite direction to change the font size in the other direction. This trick also works in Microsoft Word and Excel

Back track quickly

If you use Microsoft's Internet Explorer, you can quickly see a list of sites that you have visited recently. Press and hold down the Ctrl key and tap the letter H, for History. A history pane will open on the left-hand side of your Explorer window, allowing you to choose from alist of recently visited sites. Press Ctrl+H again to dismiss the History pane. To delete the history, right-click on an entry and choose Delete from the pop-up menu.

That's all.

Part of the tips are:

1. Don't say No, THINK about HOW
2. When you help the company earn $1.00, that does not mean the company earned $1.00
3. When you saved $1.00 for the company, then, that means the company earned $1.00

That's all for the day. Adios!
