I have two computers and the one is used for checking and keeping an eye on what happens on the internet whilte the other one is there for working.

But today I ran into a problem I want two windows to update automatically using REFRESH every Firefox extension. But I also want to have both equally open at the same time.

The one solution is to just resize the windows. But that sucks.

So I found SPLIT BROWSER plugin for Firefox. What it does it splits your windows in two or more. You can split your window in as many parts as you want.

Reload Every is a firefox plugin that lets you reload your tab every few seconds or minutes.

So installing Reload every you will then get a added thingy in your right click menu, when you click on it, it gives you options to reload your browser every when so ever you want.

Anyway. This photograph was taken on thursday while standing in the friday traffic, or so I thought.

I like the colours of autumn. Well summer is better and here in Helderberg one can take much better photos in the summer.

This winter is getting really long and boring. But one should not wich it over since the average person only sees about 70 winters in their lifetime.

Anyway back to the photograph.

Helderberg Photoblog is now actually Helderberg Photography and this is actually part of my display over there. Building a Photo portfolio is a great idea if you want to get hired to take photographs. People can look at your work.

I guess I am just rambling now. Its 1am and I need some sleep.

First the few days ago when starting to learn Windows Vista on the new laptop it was working great.

Now i am starting to think of installing Ubuntu again. The only thing that lets me stay on Vista is probably Windows Live writer.

Tonight I was editing text files, working with xampp.

But this afternoon I was working with big files, the computer did not crash.

So now that i work with small text files it crashes. It just does not make sense.

The blue screens are starting to annoy me.

At least when Ubuntu crashes I cant say I payed a couple of thousand for it.

Being a full time blogger I have been looking for a long time for something like Windows Live writer. I was using Ubuntu and have wanted to try Windows Live Writer for some time now.

Windows Live writer can be installed on any Windows machine and i have only been using it for a few days now but its probably the best blogging software out there.

Who would of thought that I would be doing a review on Windows Software.

The one thing that saves a lot of time in Windows Live writer the ability to upload images directly from your Desktop onto your blog. You can also upload video directly from your desktop which makes blogging images way easier.

Another thing is the preview style of the draft or post you are working on. it takes on the form of your blog so you can basically see how the current post will look in your blog while typing.

And even with a live preview of how it will look in your blog, blogging has never been easier than now.

Not just that i cant find the ” button.

Recently I got a new Packard Bell laptop and really like it so far. Just now and then i run into a massive lack of design creativity. I dont know what else to call it.

The problem is that keyboards and mousepads have been made for ages the same way. That is because people are used to something and they want what they are used to. They also want things that work. And something that has proven to work should be used if you want to have satisfied people with your product.

Now on my new laptop keyboard i can see the end button which is also a button i used to use a lot without even noticing it. Before i can use the end button i have to almost dislocate my fingers to somehow push the fn and then the end button.

Now being a fast typer i find that really annoying because it stops me thinking about the subject i am blogging about and puts all my focus on trying to push the end button.

As they say. If it works dont fix it.

So i got a Packard Bell laptop. When I was looking at it in the shop i did not think much of the round circle keyboard with the one button that you can click left and right. But working with it seems near impossible. The scrolling sucks so bad you have to plug in a usb mouse.

Quickly browsing sites becomes more of a chore and if you have to scroll down you bet your attention wont be on the site. It will be on the mousepad or touchpad trying to figure out where the heck to scroll with the thing.

So dear Packard Bell if you want to make your laptops look like Apple at least make sure the stuff works before you actually sell it.

To the buyer: if you see a laptop with a round touchpad. DONT BUY IT.
