Screen capture software – FastStone Capture V5.3

If you need a FREE screen capture software, you’ll love FastStone Capture after trying it out. Version 5.3 is able to:

  • Capture Active window
  • Capture a/an window/object
  • Capture a freehand region
  • Capture a scrolling window (this is what I find MOST useful)

and save it to six difference destinations. And in the “Options”, you can specify the dot-pitch of the screen capture, the destination folder, auto-startup with windows etc.

Australian Internet Safety Education Resources

Cyberwellness is quick becoming a concern for teachers and parents alike. Chanced upon this and it seems the Australian government has quite a head start:
For primary school: Cyberquoll
Cyberquoll is a computer based Internet safety program for primary school students. It teaches students about the risks of using the Internet and provides advice on managing and minimising those risks. (adapted from this resource index)
For secondary school: CyberNetrix
CyberNetrix is a computer based Internet safety program for secondary school students. It teaches students about the risks of using the Internet and provides advice on managing and minimising those risks. (adated from this resource index)

Life’s like … … being on the road

yesterday i left office somewhat 15mins later than usual, and i arrived at my destination the usual time even though i’ve took a longer route to drop off a friend; this morning, we left home somewhat 15mins later than usual, and i arrived at my desk the usual time as well. traffic’s predictable? the usual thought was ‘yes’, and that would probably change with the recent experiences (:
other long-ago observations:
– a whole line/lane of traffic was crawling due to the leading car who’s very conscious abt safety
– u’re driving an average car (0-100kmh: 12-14s) on the road yet u’re leading the 3-lanes traffic with powerful car (0-100: <10s) trailing behind - the entire road traffic's crawling becoz up front (as u realised later) parked some vehicles that were involved in an accident. (i always like the idea that if u would like to LOOK/STARE at accident vehicles so much, just jammed your breaks when cars' following close and u'll soon have some samples to taste and examine. , so juz use it if u like) assuming u drive, perhaps you can link the above to similar experiences in life/work/friendship/watever-u-name as well (:
