I have recently came across Chromasia Photoshop Tutorials and learned a lot from their free online tutorial about using curves to improve your pictures.
I can’t wait to apply this to my pictures and see how much I’ve learned.
Will post my processed pictures soon.

Here’s another story forwarded in my email. Read on…
~~~~~
There was a blind girl who hated herself because she was blind.
She hated everyone, except her loving boyfriend.
He was always there for her.
She told her boyfriend, ‘If I could only see the world, I will marry you.’
One day, someone donated a pair of eyes to her.
When the bandages came off, she was able to see everything, including her boyfriend.
He asked her, ‘Now that you can see the world, will you marry me?’
The girl looked at her boyfriend and saw that he was blind.
The sight of his closed eyelids shocked her. She hadn’t expected that.
The thought of looking at them the rest of her life led her to refuse to marry him.
Her boyfriend left in tears and days later wrote a note to her saying:
‘Take good care of your eyes, my dear, for before they were yours, they were mine.’
This is how the human brain often works when our status changes.
Only a very few remember what life was like before,
and who was always by their side in the most painful situations.

Life Is a
Gift
Today before you say an unkind word,
Think of someone who can’t speak.
Before you complain about the taste of your food,
Think of someone who has nothing to eat.
Before you complain about your husband or wife,
Think of someone who’s crying out to GOD for a companion.
Today before you complain about life,
Think of someone who died too early on this earth.
Before you complain about your children,
Think of someone who desires children but they’re barren.
Before you argue about your dirty house someone didn’t clean or sweep,
Think of the people who are living in the streets.
Before whining about the distance you drive,
Think of someone who walks the same distance with their feet.
And when you are tired and complain about your job,
Think of the unemployed, the disabled, and those who wish they had your job.
But before you think of pointing the finger or condemning another,
Remember that not one of us is without sin.
And when depressing thoughts seem to get you down,
Put a smile on your face and think: you’re alive and still around.

I PRAY THIS MOVES AROUND THE ENTIRE UNIVERSE…
Most digital cameras today have upgraded features including bigger lcd and even anti-flare components enabling you to view your pictures even outdoors in the scorching sun. This is one way of sharing captured moments and breathtaking images.
But the high megapixel images and treasured moments would be of no use if it would only be viewed in your camera lcd screens. The best way to enjoy these moments is to share them with loved ones through email or even during the event.
This is why we have various connections to be able to view our breathtaking photographs in your 17-inch laptop or even on your widescreen LCD TV.
My Nikon D40 connects easily to my HP laptop through the usb cable provided with the camera package. With this, I can easily transfer the images from my D40 to the laptop though Nikon’s software called Nikon Transfer.
Other digital camera users should not worry as there are a number of ways to transfer images to your laptop computers or view them on LCD TVs. The primary mean would be the usb cable connection for image transfers. This requires your device to have the capability for usb connections (usb port). Otherwise, you could always resort to removing your memoray card and inserting them into a compatible memory card reader for transfers to your laptop. And Oh! After your finished transferring images using this mode, remember to “Safely Remove Hardware” from your laptop to save those precious memoray cards.
Viewing the images on you LCD TV, on the other hand, requires a little more extra feature as it needs a TV jack and available connection from your camera to your TV. This would be highly recommended for higher resolution images viewing. This would yield not so great viewing pleasure for lower resolution images as these will be pixelated. But who cares, anyway, especially if the images are those special moments in one of the family gatherings or other special occasions. I’d rather have it shared with my loved ones on the TV during the event and share the happiness it brings than have it all by myself. Who’d like to pass on the camera from one person to another just to view the images, anyway?
In the end, technology today makes it easier and more convenient for people to enjoy things. Ages ago, one would have to develop the pictures and print them before they can really be enjoyed and shared. In today’s digital times, sharing memories is so convenient, you can do it minutes after it happened or to culminate an event. Next time you’re in an occassion, don’t keep the fun for yourself. Share.
This freakin’ virus/ worm/ whatever bugged my laptop for days. It shuts down my laptop just after I have booted it but only when I am connected to our local area netwrok (LAN). When its not connected to the network, the laptop boots properly. The sad thing is that our Corporate Anti-Virus Software wasn’t able to detect this thing. I also don’t know it this thing is related to the trojan which is also not detected by our AV but is scanned and detected by the freeware AVG Anti-Spyware.
I’ve searched the net and find this one very helpful. I have applied the same principles since the password viewer.exe and bar311.exe seem to have the same effect on the system.
Since the hidden files and folders are restricted from view because the password viewer.exe file is somehow preventing it, I just opened the task manager, right-clicked password viewer.exe, and ended the process tree, and clicked YES on the pop up window.
On C:/Windows folder, I have enabled the viewing of hidden files through Tools > Folder options; View tab; Show hidden files and folders. Make sure that the “Hide operating system files(Recommended)” setting is also unchecked.
Locate the files named “pc-off.bat” (a batch file which causes the system to reboot) and “password_viewer.exe” and delete these files from the C:/Windows folder.
If you run cmd prompt/ command, you may still encounter the “pc-off.bat” being called by the program because it is still in the registry. This will do no more harm, i guess but if you want, you can change the registry by running regedit which is what I did. Go to HKEY_CURRENT_USER > Software > Microsoft > Command Processor and delete “C:/Windows/pc-off.bat” in the autorun configuration.
There is also this gamot.exe but we had difficulty downloading and running it in my laptop. It is even scanned and detected by AVG as a virus.
Glad I had stumbled on the site noted above. Hope this works the same for you.
