My workplace is an utter mess; the piles of paper house everywhere, even on the floor beside my bed. However, I always find what I’m looking for. Everyone has a distinct way of creating a mess. The cables go in that corner, the gotta-see-to-that stuff heads to the left of my keyboard. It’s a mess, [...]

I’m going to be honest with you. I’ve only played around with Windows Vista a tiny bit, but we can all agree that it’s pretty. Until I can upgrade to a new PC, I’ll have to settle with the eye-candy of unofficial, third-party, Windows Vista themes for XP. All of these Vista themes are free, [...]

For the past few months, I have been using iGoogle more but part of me has wished that I could easily make my own iGoogle theme without the need to know lots of programming. Well it seems that Google has read my mind once again because they have now rolled out ThemeMaker where you can make [...]

As I’m starting up my own LAN-party, I’ve recently also created my own blog. WordPress in my case. Of course everyone wants their blog to look pretty. As pretty as possible because looks count. You want your site to look tempting yet professional. You’ll be represented by your site’s appearance. Perhaps some of you will [...]

I’d be willing to bet that Dock is one of the many (and probably the first) thing a non-Mac user would find most fascinating on OS X. When I first got my Mac, I was obsessed with it. At that time, I was running Tiger and I found myself constantly resizing the Dock, setting the [...]

No one can argue that one of the most popular blogging platforms these days is WordPress. The solid framework makes it the geek’s choice, but WordPress further gains its popularity among laymen because of its flexibility for expanding its functions and looks. There are thousands of plugins and themes available to be downloaded and used [...]
