Get on the Right Level
Some hard drives are very sensitive to surfaces that are not level. Wow, who knew?! Most have trouble functioning properly when they are placed on an uneven surface or at a slant. To move your hard drive and see if that could be the problem, shut down your computer and move your system to a flatter area. You can even use a level to make sure the surface is completely flat. When you've got everything set back up, go ahead and restart your computer normally to see if the drive works any better than it did before.
Often times, this will help bring a doomed hard drive back to life. Keep in mind though that this trick will not work with every single hard drive. Yours might have problems beyond repair and you, of course, will have to look into those further. But you can always give this a shot, just to see what happens!

a server is a service that allows clients to be able to use programs within your computer. Servers are run through specialized computers, which are, ironically, also called servers. In other words, a server serves the information needed to a computer that it's connected with so that you can access your programs, files, etc.
Now, there are different types of servers you may have running through your system. One is a print server. That server works with the computer the printer is connected to, so when you go to print something, it's all able to work. Another server is a Web server, which you may have heard more about than others. Those are set in place so that you can visit Web sites everyday. When you type in a URL, that Web site has to send a request to the Web server in order for you to be able to view and browse through it. That's also an example of how fast servers work!
Two more main types of servers are a file server and an e-mail server. The file server is pretty self-explanatory, but it works to store the files you save and then deliver them when you need them. The e-mail server is what allows you to send out e-mail. It sends and receives the e-mails you write and get back everyday.
Servers are very dependable and you can always count on them to get you what you need while you go about your daily computing. You may have several servers running through your system, helping you to get your work done, so you definitely have to be thankful for them.

Welcome to Television Tunes, a library full of TV theme music!
You can pretty much navigate the Web site right from the front page, but there's a navigation strip along the top of the page if you’d rather use that.
To navigate from the main page, you can use the drop down box to check out the list of the Newest Songs that have been added recently. Or, you can browse alphabetically with the index just below that.
The really fun part can be found by clicking on the Game tab on the top navigation strip. It’s the Name That Theme Song game and it's so much fun! You can choose between one or two players, select how many rounds you want to play (10, 20 or 30) and then just start. Each round consists of listening to a theme and identifying it. If you don’t guess right the first time, simply try again!

Save Ink and Paper Every Time You Print
Here's a quick trick to cut down on printer consumables: downsize your output so that two pages fit on single sheet of paper. ("Honey, I shrunk the Word document!") It's easy to do, and it can save you up to 50 percent on your printing costs.
The "2-on-1" approach works like this: Each page gets reduced in size and rotated 90 degrees, so that two pages can fit side-by-side on one sheet (think: booklet). Programs like Word and Adobe Reader give you this option right in the Print menu. In programs that don't (like Firefox), you can venture into the Properties menu for the selected printer and look for a "page layout" or "page scaling" option.
Obviously this won't always be practical; there are times when you need full-size, full-page prints. But I've found that for situations when I just need to review document layout or keep printed materials on hand for reference, the shrunken pages work just fine.
Of course, the best way to save paper and ink is to bypass them entirely. Whenever possible, "print" your documents to PDF files you can store on your PC or e-mail to others. I'm partial to CutePDF Writer, a freeware "printer driver" that lets you turn virtually any document into a PDF.
Did you know your memory is one of the first things to go when you're tired? I didn’t! Well, you can take this test to see how well you remember what you’ve seen. I was really tired when I took the test, so my results were very interesting. Give it a try!
The test takes place in three phases:
Phase 1 – In this phase, you'll be shown 12 photos of people. After you’ve looked at them, you should take a five minute break before moving on to phase 2.
Phase 2 – In this phase, you'll be shown 12 photos of people. After you’ve looked at them, you should take a five minute break before moving on to phase 3.
Phase 3 – In this phase, you'll be shown 48 different photos, 24 of which you have already seen in phase 1 and 2. For each photo, you must decide which phase you saw it in or if you've never seen it.
After that, your score will be compiled into two categories. One category is just for recognizing the faces you saw in phase 1 and 2. The second category is for correctly recognizing which phase they were from.
I also recommend taking this quiz to check out your daily rhythm and how fast your reaction time is with Sheep Dash. Have fun!

Gmote
I have a really cool free program for you today! It's called Gmote and it allows you to open and control your programs with simple mouse gestures. Here's an example of what Gmote can do.
I set my Gmote program to open Internet Explorer. If I hold the right mouse button down and draw an "e" on my screen, Gmote will automatically open Internet Explorer and take me to my homepage.
And that's just one thing you can use Gmote for! You can also use it to control your Windows Explorer options and your browser functions, such as back, forward, stop and refresh.
I think Gmote is pretty awesome and it's so easy to use. After you've set up the controls you want, just tell it to run at startup and it will always be ready to go!
Extra tip: Make sure you click on the Options button to tell Gmote when to look for a command. You can set it to "listen" when you hold down the right mouse button, the middle button or a key on your keyboard.
