Posting high-quality YouTube videos
Via George Ou’s blog: How to embed high quality YouTube videos and more. The methods described there are a little cumbersome (except for installing the WordPress plugin – but I’m not using WordPress :-)), so I’ve simplified them a little. You can either paste the embed tag given by Youtube in the text-box below and…

Installing Avast
Besides AVG, Avast! is the other free AV out there, so I’ve created a tutorial about installing it too. I don’t have as long experience as with AVG, so feedback is welcome and I’ll update this guide when I receive it. The premise is: you are installing this for a friend / relative / family…

Installing AVG 8
The premise of this tutorial is that you wish to install AVG for home use (because the free license covers only that) at a friend, relative, parent, etc, and the person who you are installing it for is not a power user. In fact these two posts (Installing AVG and Installing Avast) are an extension…

Influencing people – is it worth it?
I’ve recently read the book “Artful Persuasion” by Harry Mills (see the Amazon reviews). All in all, it was an interesting book to read, it contains many fun anecdotes and quotes which entertain the reader and illustrate the point. Many of the suggestions should be fairly obvious to us, cynical consumers who are bombarded daily…

Pimping my blog
I’ve re-arranged my blog a little for it to be more usable (for both of my regular readers :-)). Here are some things I’ve done: Added my logo in the header Redirected the autodiscovery feeds through Feedburner. This should give a more accurate readership number (fortunately users don’t have to do anything for this to…

Link list
Via the GSD blog (a very good blog BTW – I’m amazed how he finds energy and time to write those long posts time and time again): Opera 9.6 is approaching – the browser wars are heating up again, which can only be a good thing 🙂 OpenOffice.org 3.0 RC1 – for a long time…

Wikis or blogs?
One of my readers commented that he thought that people should use wikis rather than blogs. I agree with him (for the same reasons he mentions). The ideal CMS (Content Management System) for me would look something like this: On the basis it should have a wiki. I often write tutorials, and the main characteristics…

Google Fu, or: you are not as anonymous as you think
A colleague gave me a link to the Malware Challeng site. Basically, they have a sample and you have until the 26th of October to analyze it and send them the analysis and prizes will be given to the best analysis. Prizes will be given. But this is not what I wanted to talk about.…
