Get into free sites without registering

Do you always have to register on a free website just to read a news article or view some pictures of your friends? Stop risking a barrage of annoying spam by registering such sites. There is an easy way to get members-only content without enduring the hassle of signing up for an account.

Bugmenot is a free site that stockpiles user-generated account log-ins and passwords so that users don't have to provide their own personal information. If you are using Internet Explorer then go to the Bugmenot website and type in the URL of the site that you'd like to log in to. Bugmenot will return a list of user names and passwords that you can use to log in successfully. That's cool huh? 
For Firefox users, the Bugmenot add-ons will automate the service asking you to install it straightaway. After you install the Bugmenot extension, the next time you encounter a required log-in prompt for a free site, right-click the username or email address box and select login with Bugmenot. Repeat the process if the initial attempt doesn't work; the plug-in might have used old information the first time around. Otherwise, you should slide into the registration-required content without a hitch.

How to lock and unlock your computer automatically

New technology makes life easier. That's what we want right? Have you wondered is there any app that can just lock off your computer without having to touch the keyboard? Well, there is. Thanks to the open source that makes the world such a wonderful place.  

BtProx ( http://btprox.sourceforge.net/) is a free application that monitors the proximity of your computer to your cellphone or other bluetooth device. It will lock off your computer automatically, protecting its contents  from prying eyes when the phone goes out of range which means you walk away from your computer. Obviously, you would take your cellphone with you when you leave, wouldn't you? It will also unlock automatically when you return back, with your cellphone or other bluetooth device of course. In addition, with BtProx, you can set up an arrangement that automatically locks your computer and turns on the PC security system when you step away from the machine.

How to make a header image using Photomerge

Suppose you have a couple of photos shot from different angles and you want to create a banner by blending them all together. Today I am going to show you how to do this using Adobe Photoshop CS3. Let's get started.

Here are the photos I am going to use:





Step 1: 
Open File -> Scripts -> Load Files into Stack and load Layer dialogue box pops up. Browse to any files you want to use then click OK. You should see in the layer panel the picture you have stacked.












Step 2:
Now we got all our objects loaded into the stack here, we are going to attempt to stitch them all together using photomerge in adobe CS3. So select all the photo layers (Ctrl+Click/Shift+Click) to select more layers and go to Edit -> Auto-Align Layers. Now this is gonna bring up Align dialogue box. Choose Auto -> ok. This is what you should see.













Step 3:
What we need to do now is to get rid of the transparent area on top and the bottom and we also need to get rid of these themes here in the middle. Here I'm going to use crop tool and select the image area.













Once satisfied, hit Enter









Step 4:
As you can see, there is still significant problems here with the tonality of this image. We could fix by adjusting opacity setting and level adjustments and stuff but Photoshop has a really nice built-in feature that allows us to blend images together. To do this, go to Edit -> Auto-Blend Layers. Photoshop will perfectly blend these 3 images together.


There you have it. It's simple, easy and nice looking banner.

Tools to help customize blog templates

Firebug is a web development tool that you can use to view and modify live page source code including CSS style and Script right on your browser. So for you blog blokes, this would save your time customizing your blog templates. A combination with this is CollorZilla. It is an advanced eyedropper.

How to change body background color to image in blog template

If you're using standard blog templates, then you should see a block of CSS style. So what you need to do is go to Layout -> Edit HTML and look for something like this:

body{
    background: #3c3533;
    margin: 0;
    padding: 0;
    color: #fff;
    font-family: Verdana, Tahoma, Georgia;
    font-size: 12px;
    line-height: 20px;
}

then change background: #3c3533; to background: url(http://exmaple.jpg);
save the template and you're done.
