PDF Conversion Using KoolWIRE

Convert to PDF by sending Email to pdf@koolwire.com

When I started reading this tips in my email, I was like "really?? can it be that simple??". Then I try myself to see if this trick is effective for person like me who used pdf file a lot.

The result?? It was pretty impressive I assure you.

The following were the sequence of what I did:

1. I attached a Word file, named Lab Schedule, and send it to pdf@koolwire.com (if you notice the time I sent it, it shows 7.41 pm). In the first image, I highlighted that the file that I sent was indeed a Word document.
2. Within ONE minute, I received the reply. You can see the second image below.

The disadvantage is of course you can only do this when you are connected to the internet.

Go and try this trick!!

Google Chrome: Incognito Setting

Browsing Privately using Google Chrome

Since Google released the new-kid-on-the-block browser, namely Google Chrome, I have been using it quite often together with my primary browser. Since writing a review about it would require certain amount of time, I would review some features that will be helpful to you. Incognito is absolutely one of them.

If you are familiar with Private Browsing feature in Safari or the new InPrivate Browsing in IE8, the feature of Incognito in Chrome would be more or less the same.

When you open a window in incognito mode (Ctrl+Shift+N), your cookies from the standard session are no longer available and you can easily log in to a new Google account. The Google Operating System has a little bit of description about this feature:

"Webpages that you open and files downloaded while you are incognito won't be logged in your browsing and download histories; all new cookies are deleted after you close the incognito window. You can browse normally and in incognito mode at the same time by using separate windows."

To open this in Google Chrome:

1. Look at a button next to the address bar that when you hover it you will see "Control the Current page"
2. Choose New Incognito Window
3. The Incognito Window will appear

Tips: Keyboard shortcut is Shift+Ctrl+N



Hope this helps.

Software: Picasa Creates Collages

Create Collages with Picasa

If you like to document loads of pictures and enjoy editing them, making collages (a combination of photos) using Picasa, which is a free software from Google, would be really fun.

These are examples of what I did recently using Picasa (pardon me if you hate Chelsea FC, but I am a big fan of them ;p).




To start off, you need to download Picasa if you have not installed it in your computer.

You can watch this one-minute video to get the idea of how to do this.

The simple step you need to do:

1. Select the pictures you wish to collage (Tips: use Ctrl+click if the pictures are not well-organised in your folder)
2. Go to Create -- Picture Collage
3. You can then change the type, and edit it as you ike.
4. Save it once you are done.

Tips: to change the order of the photos, you can click o on the preview window. If you want to change the layout of the picture, shift+click on the preview window.

Hope this helps.
