Recover deleted pictures

One wrong click on your digital camera and all your pictures are gone. Some recovery programs will cost you as much as $50, but don't panic there is a way to retrieve them, and it's free. When you initially delete a photo is not totally gone. It's still there, but if you take new pictures it will be gone for good. So the first thing is remove the memory card from your camera. Next download this program  Restoration. It's very simple and straight forward. Install the program on your desktop(Note-this program will not be installed on your computer you will have to click the icon in the folder for each use).

Unzip Restoration and select the destination folder. Click on the Unzipped folder and select the Restoration icon. Plug up your camera, or take out the memory card if you have a slot on your computer. Now just select the drive where your memory card is located and click "Search for deleted files". After it locates your files click "Restore by copying" Then just select where you would like the files saved. That's it your done and crisis averted.  You can also recover deleted files with this process.

Search for MP3's with Google

In this day and age we Google just about everything. What has made Google so popular is it's ability to index the internet and give you relevant search terms. Google also indexes college's and universities and other sites across the internet. Site's were people upload their songs, photos for easy access. Let's say you wanted to look up a Carrie Underwood, but to specifically keep the search to MP3's you would have to type this in the search bar (-inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" mp3 "Carrie underwood).




That's a lot of geek talk. GMP3 has taken this form and made into something you are use to.  A simple search box you can type the artist name or song in. Click on the song and see if it will automatically download as an MP3. If not then right click and select save file as MP3. Anytime you download something off the internet you should go to the file right click and hit the scan button to make sure that it is virus free. Another one you can give a try that does the same thing is at jimmyr.com Hope this helps and until next time peace.

GuerrilaMail-Helps you avoid spam

Spam is one thing that everyone hates. GuerrillaMail helps you avoid it by providing you a temporary email address that last for about one hour. If an email comes it will show up right on their web site. All you have to do is keep that window open. You can also extend the time you want the temporary address to stay active. This is really great if their is something you want to checkout, but and not give up your email address. Until next time peace.

StreamFile

StreamFile is a new site on the rise  offering data streaming and encryption with a twist. Some of you may be using Drop.io to move your large files (earlier article), but what makes StreamFile different is the file can be simotaniously download as it is being uploaded be sending an email to the recipient, or sending the link that is provided once the upload begins.

By having the ability to download a file as it is being upload saves you a lot of time. When normally you would have to wait for the entire file to upload before you could transfer it to someone else. I gave it a few test runs and it seems to work just fine.The max file size is 2GB. Until next time peace.

How hack proof is your password?

Every wonder how good is your password you that protects your email, bank account and such? Well I've come across a website that will tell you exactly that. Hackosis has a spreadsheet formula that will tell you based on the types of characters used in your password ( number of upper case, lower case, numbers, special characters etc) how long it would take to hack it from a computer trying 25,769,803,776 passwords per hour. You are not giving the site your password just the number of characters and numbers used. Give me some feedback on this on. Especially if you thought your password was soild. Mine was 34 minutes. Until next time peace!
