What's New at Linda's Computer StopThis section is brief this month because I was on vacation and also, I've developed an addiction to The Sims Online (an online game) and have been relaxing a little more than usual ... hope you will forgive me :-)If you want to see my review of The Sims Online,
you can check it out at Techtrax: If any of you play TSOL, please come to Alphaville and look up Linda the Geek. I'd love to meet you there. This term's online classes at Eclectic Academy are coming to an
end this week. But, the next term starts on Sunday, May 4th.
I'd love to have you join me there. Here's the info on what I teach: Also, don't forget that Eclectic Academy offers classes on many different
programs and techniques. As a matter of fact, some of the EA staff
have put together forums on their areas of expertise that you might want to
check out here: And Eclectic Academy itself is located here: I've also been really busy investigating software for review. So far I've got one and Vic Ferri contributed a new one for this issue: The one I've reviewed so far are: Spam Inspector And, of course, Vic's contribution is GoToMyPC, which we
tested together while I was on vacation :-) If any of you have a program of your own that you would like me to
review, contact me for more info. Also, if any of you know of a
program you feel I should look at, let me know that too.
NOTE: I do not review freeware or
shareware. That's Steve Mills' job and he does it very well. For
a complete list of what he's reviewed so far, go here: I'm also still working on my newest set of ebooks for Office XP, along with my video guides. Hopefully, I will have them available sometime this summer, but it sure is a LOT of work. (Guess I need to stay away from the Sims ... LOL) I'm also working on some changes for ABC. Since my Fleet of writers seem to be running out of ideas in their areas of interest, I'm thinking of making the format a bit more freeform. I'm just gonna let them write about whatever floats their boats. Also, PLEASE, if any of you want to write about anything computer related, just drop me a line. I'd love to add some new contributors. Of course, I've also added some new links to my favorite links
page, so go there and check out the revolving Ns: Well...that's about it for this month. Please come back to my site often to see what else I've added and drop me a line if you have any suggestions. Linda Subscribers' Exclusive
Tip: Are you getting as tired as I am of people copying tips from your website and posting them in email groups or in their newsletters without giving you credit? Or, are you just tired of people copying any text from your website and using it for their own needs without crediting you? Well, here's a cool tip Vic Ferri taught me to disable the ability to select text on a page. And it's really simple. Just replace your opening <BODY> tag with this line: <BODY onselectstart="return false"> Then check out your page. You will see that you can't drag across the text to highlight it. You can't even go to the browser's Edit menu and choose Select All. Actually, you can't even click your mouse in the page to get an insertion point established. This is soooo cool!! Here's a sample: Also, reader G. K. Nevil replied to my tip last month concerning my problems with my Lexmark Printer and Windows XP. He offers some additional information if you have problems. Thanks, G. K.! <<<back to contents |
