About Me

My photo
I’m the quintessential free spirit living everyday to the fullest.Born at a time which qualifies me as a Cusp between a Gemini and Cancer,I show strong traits of both.Completely ruled by the moon,my mood swings are slapdash and worse than a woman having her periods.All said and done,considering it is only a mind-game,I’m quite sure I will be hitting a Menopause soon.I am an extremely feisty and a hyperactive individual full of Joie de vivre.I have many a blonde moment that invariably results in a Comedy of Errors and I never miss out on an opportunity to laugh; as Michael Pritchard puts it “You don't stop laughing because you grow old.You grow old because you stop laughing”.My passions are Speed,Challenge and Adventure of any sort and often, don’t hesitate taking a Road less traveled.I’m a bit of a Social Butterfly with a decent sense of humor and a heart of gold that almost always tends to rule over my brains.I do not care much about criticism and strongly believe in “Be who you are and say what you feel because those who mind don't matter and those who matter don't mind.”

Tech-Tips 2

Extend Microsoft Window's Picture & Fax Viewer To Support More Than 200 Image Formats

Windows XP features embedded Picture & Fax Viewer for quick viewing of your images, However, the handy utility only supports common popular image formats like JPEG, GIF, and BMP making it necessary to install other multi-format image viewers like ACDSee or XnView, but not anymore free Windows Utility ImageXtender let you hack Windows XP standard Picture & Fax Viewer to support more then 200 known graphics extensions.




You just need to install ImageXtender and it patches the default viewer to support the new image formats, the process of viewing images would remain the same allowing you to view all image formats in three different viewing modes - Preview, Thumbnails and Filmstrip.

The utility works fine and is just a matter of install and forget, However, it fell short of its claim to support Photoshop .PSD files in our tests on Windows XP SP3.
