I’m Luving Handy Recovery
Jan 20, 2008 Cool Stuff, Tools, Uncategorized
A few days ago I was looking for an old image psd file that I designed for a client. I’ve
formatted my computer a few times and I think I have not entirely back up my files. The image files must have been deleted. Now my old client is asking me to redesign the work I have done for him using the same image. I thought to myself it would take a week to design the whole work again without the psd. Arghh! I should have kept the image file in external hard disk before formatting my computer. So I went to search for a handy software that could search my accidentally deleted image file. That is when I found Handy Recovery. It is an easy-to-use data recovery software designed to restore files accidentally deleted from your PC. So heck, why not give it a try. Now the problem is it is not freeware. It is priced at $39 for a single user license. You can download a 30-day trial version. Please note that the evaluation version can recover only 1 file per day. So since I was just looking for a psd file, I download and install Handy Recovery.
The process is very easy. Just select the disk you want to scan and click on the search partitions button. You can browse the content of your disk like you do it in Windows Explorer. The only difference is that you see deleted files and folders along with the regular ones. And guess what, I found my psd file, lucky for me it shows probability of successful recovery for each file and my file was good and I could recovered the file! Yahoo..
What I see Handy Recovery can recover files damaged by virus attacks, power failures and software faults or files from deleted and formatted partitions. If some program does not use Recycle Bin when deleting files, Handy Recovery can restore such files. It can also recover files moved to Recycle Bin after it has been emptied. I saw the files which I just deleted from the recycle bin a few weeks ago.
Handy Recovery supports all Windows file systems for hard and floppy drives. It can also recover compressed and encrypted files on NTFS drives.
Features
The key features of Handy Recovery software include
- FAT12/16/32, NTFS and NTFS 5 + EFS file systems support
- In-depth disk scanning for certain file types
- Option to create disk images for deferred recovery
- Shows probability of successful recovery for each file
- Recovers files from deleted and formatted partitions
- File filtering by name, mask, date and size
- Recovers files deleted without Recycle Bin
- Restores the structure of deleted folders
- Explorer-style disk content browser showing deleted files
- One-click filter button to show only the deleted files
So if you think you have deleted a file accidentally and then realized it to be an important one, just try Handy Recovery.
Why Write an eBook?
Dec 26, 2007 Advertising Materials, Tools
Apart from designing, I’ve been thinking to write an e-book. Maybe I can write something I like such as something on graphics design or photoshop. Or maybe I could write something on ‘how to create your own logo’ or ‘how to create your own e-cover without photoshp’. People would say just keep on designing graphics, why bother writing an e-book…
Well….let’s say you already have an Internet business with a quality website and a quality product. An ebook is one of the most powerful ways to promote your business while educating people with the knowledge you already possess as a business owner of a specific product or service.
For example, let’s say that you’ve spent the last twenty-five years growing and training orchid trees, and now you’re ready to share your experience and knowledge. An ebook is the perfect way to reach the largest audience of orchid enthusiasts.
Ebooks will not only promote your business – they will help you make a name for yourself, and establish you as an expert in your field. One of the most prevalent reasons people read ebooks is to find information about how to turn their Internet businesses into a profit-making machine. And these people are looking to the writers of ebooks to provide them with new ideas because people who write ebooks are usually people who understand the new cyberspace world we now live in.
So, let’s start writing an ebook..

Do you want to know what color codes does a website use and want to capture the colors

All you have to do is open your Photoshop, wait it to load, press Ctrl+PrintScreen on your keyboard to capture the screen, paste it into Photoshop, select the color picker and hover it to the color you want on the image.

Get R0boform Pro (for free)
Aug 11, 2007 Cool Stuff, FREE stuff, Tips and Tricks, Tools, Uncategorized
As a graphics and web designer, I have to remember a lot of password. So by installing Roboform, I had no longer need to remember all my passwords and it really helps me to keeps track of many different sets of passwords with just one click. Roboform is free but there are features disabled after 30 days. I recently stumbled to a blog that showed how you can get the official Roboform (no cracks or keygen) from the software vendor. Here’s how:
1. Open new gmail account, just for this
2. Download Roboform 30 day full function trial version here, using dedicated gmail account.
3. After 30 day trial, take the option to sign up for an offer they pose, rather than to pay.
4. They will send a bunch of CPA offers.
5. Look for “sign up for EBAY account.”
6. Accept this offer, sign up for an EBAY account, use the gmail address you used to get Roboform
7. You have to make a purchase on EBAY. Search for 1 cent offers. Find one you like, and buy it. There are thousands. Will cost you nothing or 1 cent at most.
8. You will get a serial from Roboform for the software, the same as if you paid $30. You have legitimate copy of the software and with upgrades. Ebay doesn’t care if you have more accounts, as long as they have different email addresses.
