Guide - Organize your media!

I find that the best way to organize my media, is to use a software called Picasa. It is made by Google and it’s awesome!
It got facial recognition and other cool stuff to keep every thing organized!

  1. Go to http://picasa.google.com/, and press the big blue download button!
  2. Now just install it by following the instructions!
  3. When you open it, it loads all you photos and other media.
  4. In the side bar you can see all the folders whit media in them and they are organized by year and also alphabetically!
  5. But the cool thing is the “Persons” tab here it searches all your photos and finds faces, all these are put in a folder called “unnamed”
  6. Here you can type peoples names in the fields below the photo and make a contact.
  7. When you have done that for lets say one person it automatically finds faces that match and ask you if it is the person!

With this software you can do all kinds of different things like making a collage or a movie but i will go over that in a other tutorial!

If you got ideas for tutorials post a comment, or if you have a question pleas ask. Have a great day!

Guide – 2 of 2 Make your computer faster!

Ok here is the second part of “Make you computer faster!”

We are going to talk about, things that make it start up faster, and use all its power.
Normally you computer does not use all it power, it only uses 1 processor, but most computers to day go 2 or more.

  1. Ok, now open start menu, and search for “msconfig” if your on xp you can click run and type “msconfig” and press enter.
  2. The go under the boot tab.
    1. There is a field called “timeout” this is by standard set to 30 second, but you can set it to 3, this is only for super geeks that know how to cancel a computer shutdown.(maybe i will make a mini tip on that)
    2. Now click the “advanced settings” button.
    3. The “number of processers” is by default set to 1, but it will make your computer faster by using the most. When it is 1 and you got 2 you only use half of your computers force.
    4. When you have done that press ok.
  3. Now go to the tab “services”
    1. Press “Hide all Microsoft services”.
    2. Here you can look through the programs you don't need.( for example if you installed a Nokia software but now you got a Sony Ericson)
  4. After that go under “Startup”.
    1. Here you can turn it all off if you like. But if you got sound driver running in the taskbar don’t shut it off, also look out for internet card driver, and video card driver.
    2. If you don't know what are your drivers here they are just off my head.
      1. Soundcard: Realtek.
      2. Internet card: Zyxle, D-link.
      3. Video card: Nvidea, Avi.
