Here is a list of 22 Windows 7 keyboard shortcuts that I recommend and use daily. These are huge time savers.

If you’re not shortcut-type of person, and don’t usually use shortcuts when working on your computer, you really need to reconsider that habit now.

At least when it comes to Windows 7 (or any other operating system) where you do so many things. Sometimes, there’s simply not enough time and you need some speed to tackle your daily tasks.

That’s why knowing these will definitely be of huge help. It gets a little bit hard at the beginning, because you need to remember all (or some) of them and try to make yourself really use these instead of just “knowing” them.

But eventually after a week or so, you will get completely used to it and you’ll notice how much time you save just by using them.

This is just a quick tip for all Twitter addicts out there (myself included) to save you some time when writing updates (tweets).

There are so many online and desktop applications, tools and services that help you send tweets from almost everywhere. So why is this one so different?

I like this one because it is pretty simple and yet it saves you plenty of time when it comes to regular updating your Twitter status.

First of all, this is not a Twitter app or a web service. It’s a simple Firefox Add-on called TwitterBar.

TwitterBar allows you to post to Twitter from Mozilla Firefox’s address bar. A small Twitter icon will be located on the right of your address bar. You post your tweet by clicking on it. If you want to see how many characters you have left, just hover your mouse over it.

Let’s get straight to the point. This Windows XP registry tweak will make your system boot much faster. How much?

I can not say exactly how much faster, since it all depends on your computer specifications (processor, RAM, hard-drive and stuff like that…), but from my experience, this tweak decreased the time to boot-up for about 9-10 seconds.

Now you see how great this registry tweak is and it will get even better when you see how simple it is to apply. I will do my best to show you step-by-step and make it plain simple and of course with screenshots included.

Believe it or not, I recently had about 12,000 comments waiting to be reviewed, approved or deleted, and it all looked like spam (well of course).

So how did it happen? Well I was stuck with loads of work and deadlines offline so I didn’t have time to write so much during past 2 months. And I will use this opportunity to say that I’m really sorry about that. (won’t happen again) But I had to work on a project that demanded my whole day of dedication to it, plus it had strict deadline.

After I came back to managing this blog and logged in to Wordpress admin area, first thing that I saw was that huge pile of pending comments. When I think about how much time Iwould need to waste going through all those comments… It just doesn’t feel really good.

I just wanted it all gone. Even if there is some legitimate comment in there, it’s not worth anybody’s time to sort through that mess to find them.

So my question was: How do I delete all pending comments in an efficient way? I knew I could delete 20 at a time using the bulk action “mark as spam”, but still, that was a lot of time wasting.

Here’s a great freebie for you. I don’t know whether you heard it or not, but the new version of Zone Alarm has been released on November 24. And it is now available free for download.

It is kind of strange though, that the official announcement of the release hasn’t yet spread fully over the net. Even the link to download the latest version of ZoneAlarm on their official website leads to a page at Download.com where you can download only version 8 (I hope they will fix that soon).

It seems that the news about the new version of ZoneAlarm doesn’t seem to have got past the ZoneAlarm forum…Yet. But who cares. You can download it right now and enjoy the internet security that this famous firewall provides.

So what are the major changes and add-ons in the latest version of ZoneAlarm (9.1)?
