Quality photo browser for free!

24.June2008
Quite a long time I was looking for a free alternative to otherwise excellent ACDSee.
I had dozens of free images, including the popular browsers
Irfan, but none of them has not delivered me too. Only relatively little known
FastStone Image Viewer me pleasantly surprised. In my opinion concerning absolutely
the best free browser images and photos. In addition, there is also version
portable, which does not have to install and can run as, for example from flashdisk.

FastStone I am delighted especially for a very nice and easy user
interface, high speed, while the optimal amount of functions. It does not have many, as never using, and he no fundamental
things missing. The program can, for example compare images, rotate bezztrátově
JPEGy, bulk convert formats and handle the basic adjustments of photos.
There are at least for trying. For non-commercial purposes can be
use completely free.

Rainlendar

20.June2008
This program is not new, were known him long, but I only recently started to use it. Today this program is already fully in English, and what that is? Rainlendar is a calendar located directly on the desktop, which also show events or daily schedule of events, this program notes. Everything can be configured according to her.

The installation will require a total of three files, which can be found on rainlendar.net, particularly here in the bottom of the page. This is the main installation file (Rainlendar-0.22.1.exe), language package (rainlendar_languages.zip), and finally a package of skinem (rainlendar_skins.zip). That's all. Total is just over 2 MB. After installing the file, simply expand the two Zip format files and upload them to the appropriate folder, where it is installed and Rainlendar either to the Languages and Skins. After starting the programme will be all in English, so instead of May you will see increasingly May, is now just right-click to the place where the calendar is located and offers select Language and English is chosen. The same must be done in the Skins menu to the calendar was in English. I have to say that this program has a practical use and the damage that until now I have started to use it.

DBX utility - public events to facilitate the work

19.June2008
Traditionally in XANADU provide a number of useful free CAD utilities and tools developed by our staff. And may not extend beyond the popular "Christmas applications for free" - a handy tool for our customers not only for Christmas but also throughout the year ...

For example, a frequent requirement CAD managers and current CAD users need to explore the content or edit a whole lot the entire CAD drawings (for example, the entire directory DWG files to the contract). For these purposes may be used " generatory script, but sometimes it is better to go faster and more efficient way of direct access (read / write) to DWG files without the need of opening. Yes, even without opening the CAD application can view the contents of DWG file, or even modify it.

These direct operations can be used programming library DBX supplied with AutoCAD. In XANADU we have prepared a series of free utilities that use this approach for the rapid processing of tens and hundreds of DWG files. These "Xanadu DBX utility" (page in English) offers several "scanning (DBXscan) and" odstraňovacích (DBXrem) tools for mass processing of drawings.

You will find, for example, the listing of drawings containing a list of redundant lists benchmarks annotations (a tool for mass removal), a tool to extract a list containing drawings AEC objects from AutoCAD Architecture and Civil 3D, or drawings containing Mechanical objects from AutoCAD Mechanical, a tool for identification containing drawings VBA macros (a tool for mass removal).

pass all the DWG drawings in the specified folder (and its subfolders) and listing text protocol on the drawings with the search content. It can be so easily identified drawings, which may in further processing represent a problem (proxy objects, macros ...).

school of motoring tests

17.June2008
Today, the car becomes an indispensable part of human life. More and more people will be dealt with driving licence and if you are among them you, so you have to be met with some annoying facts. One of them may become apparent non-availability of training tests, in which you could identify their weaknesses. And so you try to address this a little help.

If you do not want tests in paper form, you can provide some on the Internet in electronic form. There is no exception, that are driving their own training programs. Generally, however, you have to carry a driving course there, and these programs are freely available. Nevertheless, there are several solutions, which now present.

http://www.autoskola-testy.cz/ Web site where you can try testing issues and completely free. Just select the category of licence and will appear immediately tests. The database test is relatively decent, and each contains 25 questions. The site is also a lot of additional information on autoškolách and driving licences.

http://www.e-autoskola.cz/testy/ relatively large site contains many references to help you folding test. In particular, references to test marks and test programs.

http://etesty.mdcr.cz/ As a further option, and perhaps one of the most effective is the web Ministry of Transport, which meets drivers, and provides online testing.


Other options are programs that are on the Internet. Some show you.

Professional Driving: Indeed, high-quality program. Very easy with nice illustrations, but how is it so nothing is perfect. In tomhle case is a licence. The Internet is available free of charge only demo version, but it will certainly help.

PC Driving Holubec: free demo only, but also to include in the test, which can be exploited. The virtually devoid of any layout.

Tests autoškola 3D: Another program with a nice dressed, but I encountered information that the project is already pledged and may not occur for updates.

The availability of training tests is relatively high. In addition, there is an opportunity to combine more programs or online testing, and so you have enough space to examine their knowledge.

Centrum.cz

15.June2008
Ever since its founding in 1999 have gained a spot on the portal Centrum.cz Czech search engines very good position. Stabilně is one of the most search engines with us. Why is it so popular? This will show in this article.

What will
Pre-emphasise that we will pay only for a possibility for him, e-mail, xchat and other services to address not because of them were written in many other reviews in this magazine. The rationale is naturally enter search words, it is necessary to say that the search is very fast and featuring the most relevant results. Search of ordinary words and phrases is very similar to other search engines. With companies, however, is different.

Firms
If you are looking for an extended service (archery, hotel) directly, you can choose from the menu of other advanced options. For example, mentioned the word "automated" appears several other options, specifying the award, to be retail and car sales, etc. In addition to the basic description of what the company deals with the display and link to the map, the entire address, contact and link to the web site.

Maps
It is also possible to search the maps. This search is very similar, for example, the technology portal Seznam.cz. In addition, the company also offers a search for the next cycling, hiking trails and, where appropriate, other interesting objects. The major objects are also included GPS. Print, sending links and other work with the map is a matter of course.

Goods
Last search, which will give you know. It is a search for goods and products, here I am, however, encountered a minor problem. Sometimes I came in search of that site "fell" and it was necessary to retrieve it from znova.Ceny-perhaps to represent ego.

Mapy.cz

13.June2008
Already 12 years www.mapy.cz under the auspices of one of the largest Czech information portals trying to literally map out what it is. In contrast to earlier years are now available not only detailed maps of the Czech Republic, but in the medium scale (1:750 000) and maps all over Europe. As it stands the most visited Internet map guide today?

Search
In October last year Mapy.cz into the pockets were a few new features. Export routes into the GPS, to extend the range of maps and also appeared an attractive option for users to add interesting places in maps and photographs.


In the case of maps and layers so users have the opportunity to compare between the older films with new air and monitor the change in the landscape. Can you turn on popisovou (hybrid) layer above the historical map or maps and documents have shade and look at the map in a plastic display. So the possibility that the old interface was not included. From now classic features are the most important zoom mouse wheel or views should be clear business cards for corporate records (which is newly completed and the photos and contact information).


Route planner
As per the practical function of the combination of results showed the possibility of finding a route planner. It is therefore possible to find a route, click on target routes, displayed vizitce choose the option find in the vicinity and found, for example, the nearest hotel, and without the original route lost the new finding. Today, you can plan a route to be in these European countries: Bosnia and Herzegovina, Croatia, Italy, Hungary, Germany, Poland, Austria, Slovakia, Slovenia and others. Please note that the route planner should only be used as a reference guide, because you often leads to unnecessary okliku, therefore, more precise navigation for use sophisticated software.


Points of interest Mapy.cz
To search for www.mapy.cz map was also included 72 rare trees in connection with last year's inquiry about the tree, which are largely linked to an extensive network of hiking trails, which include points of interest such as castles, chateaux and other cultural or historical monuments or to be the nearest post office and gas station. On Mapy.cz also can find more than 7000 points, over the outcome of a business card to go directly to the encyclopedia Wikipedia article and read the full content. These positions are only interesting and included positions as Bethlehem or Cairo.


Other features Mapy.cz
The so-called. operators (Loc; id: premise; near; wikis; route) allows better use of the search system on their use can be more help to learn the Mapy.cz. Their use of it may seem unnecessary, but the opposite is true. For example, in search of the village Lhota, can be found without the use of operators to 380 seats, which are in his name Lhota. Just then instead of searching through them to specify and voilá, here we have our village in the district of Lower Lhota Ostrava.


Originally quite interesting features traffic information failed to neochotnosti daily updated information on traffic events (whether from the capital city or the closure of major roads) and at least for me has become a disappointment. Possible links with the specialized system would certainly not the damage.


Summary
www.Mapy.cz certainly still have much to offer and even today holds the forefront, but could also be the case that this web resolution on their laurels and in terms of timeliness map ( "the latest" map of the Czech Republic are already over 2 years old) user environment, etc. would feel during a half-year to be defeated a new ambitious project.

Trillian

11.June2008
In addition to ICQ, there is a large number of other IM, vzpomeňme QIP for example, or Miranda. In this review will introduce one of the other prográmků, Trillian.

Installation and the first run
After a brief installation, in which you set some additional services (Sidebar to Firefox, the services to which the sign), we can boldly engage in the evaluation of appearance, functions and options. Automation of this IM is considerable. Just when you install enter a login code and password, the next launch of the program has nothing to neptá and automatically starts. Setting whether to run automatically when you start pc or not is a matter of course.


Design
Appearance Trillianu is simple. The basic version is all tuned to the slightly blue appearance, on-line "circles" are green, thus easy to know who is currently available. And here is your classification maintained contacts into groups, possibly as a new form group. Appearance fundamental tenders therefore is nothing special, you change, however, waiting for the election tab "Settings", where programmers certainly nešetřili originality and created quite an interesting menu with nice icons. Unfortunately, in the chat window with me missing a better division between you and the text, with whom you write. I do not know whether the appearance of some influence, but the report, compared for example QIPu is difficult for some time to register, because you set the font size is the same as the format with whom you write.


Handling contacts
With contacts can be carried out various operations. It was repealed by sorting into groups, but also offers the sending of files, chat history, possibly ignoring contact in the event that offends you an ad. Unfortunately, however, sending files is relatively quite slow and missing me here a function that would be a genuine novelty.


Trillian Pro
In addition to the basic version of Trillian Basic can try and Trillian Pro version. It offers some innovations that are already in other programs, such as video chat. This version is better, however, and unfortunately paid too new to Trillian not.

Result: Nothing new under the sun
Trillian I really thoroughly examined, but I have to say that force me to move from QIPu he failed. In essence, offers over existing programs the same category nothing new, quite the reverse is lagging behind somewhat. Some may enjoy the simple appearance of a small computer hardware requirements, I will, however, because the name of Trillian yet another messenger will not move.

hiking trails

9.June2008
Certainly you have already occurred, where the summer holidays vypravíte. If you want to visit the beauty of our country, and want you all to plan ahead carefully, you can use the Tourist routes, the review has just read.

Fundamentals route
After starting the Tourist teasy can you expect the earliest recovery of certain areas you want to visit. The choice here is a whole range of tourist sites, which are worth visiting. After selecting the geographical area in the main window of a reduced map, according to further orientujete. Route vote according to reference, those may be castles, or locks, pointers, intersections, etc. Gradually so sestavíte basic route further information about her visit switching between tabs in a new window. The chosen route is also displayed information on colour marks, after which you have to go and most important, or the longest stretches of the journey. Until details are also lists the excess travel, the biggest climb and descent, or a maximum height of the route of reach.

Daily trips
An interesting feature of the Tourist Routes trips diary is where you insert your undergone route. The diary is useful, for example, when you take an interesting way and you would like to repeat it, but you do not know exactly where to go when the turn, etc. In the diary of all trips advice, and provide additional information on the path taken.


Distances with a ruler
Another useful tool is the ruler. Using a mouse on the map "you draw a" segment that automatically measured the distance clicks and recorded their geographical location on the map. The data are displayed in meters, so you do not have dealt with translating units. Distances are, unfortunately, the gate "as the crow flies", so that estimate on the map may be more or less diverge from reality.

Import Map
As the map of the Czech Republic is divided into regions, some parts of our country, unfortunately, lacking in basic version of the program. Therefore, there is a possibility to download and open the area from another source, such as the various tourist sites, and then import it into the program. You can also map form.


Up to trip
I think that the Tourist routes is very interesting for local travelers who do not want to deal with reading maps on the ground, do not want to unnecessarily risk, or want to have everything fixed and then you just use. The program has a number of interesting possibilities, even if over the age of its graphics implementation is lagging slightly.

Seven. Magic number in the name of windows

5.June2008
It is a ten Friday (also Saturday, Sunday, Monday, Tuesday, Wednesday and even Thursday) as light incident on the shelves of shops saw a new operating system Windows Vista.

He brought a revolution for many, whether the options, appearance, and many other (sometimes more, sometimes less technical) aspects. Perhaps no doubt that this is the last operating system from the workshop of the world's software giant Microsoft.

Seven. Magic number in the name of windows
This is a new operating system, which bears a Windows 7th About němch you can read or doslechnout like the products with names Blackcomb, Vienna or Longhorn. Microsoft promises Windows 7 will be a real revolution, and Vista will be compared sedmičce only weak toy, which is used mainly as a preparatory drive for Windows 7th Why?


Windows 7th No, what?
Windows 7 will continue in what became Vista. Or rather… will be much more. Windows 7 to contain completely revised user interface, innovative, simple, user-friendly and inexpensive. This, however, bears a problem. This demands on computer hardware equipment. In addition to the hardware requirements are considerable problems and users Visty. For example, the Vista can be described as preparatory unit… You prepare for the high demands on computer hardware. The market basically forcing weaker computer-have upgrade to a higher level and prepare it to the arrival of his successor. Windows 7th

Users are looking forward to Windows, which should be processed in the style familiar from the Office 2007. Microsoft also promises better performance, speed to work with files, especially in their search.

Seven would be issued to the world in 2009 with the tag beta, therefore, designed for testing. A year later, would then be given to the shops. This is Microsoft's current plans.

Quality photo browser for free!
Quite a long time I was looking for a free alternative to otherwise excellent ACDSee. I have dozens of free images, including the popular browsers Irfanu, but none of them nenadchl me too. Only relatively little known FastStone Image Viewer me pleasantly surprised. In my opinion concerning the absolute best free browser images and photos. In addition, there is also in the portable version, which does not need to install and can run as, for example from flashdisku.

FastStone I am delighted especially for a very nice and easy user interface, high speed, while the optimal amount of functions. Neobtěžuje many features that just never nevyužijete, while none of his fundamental things missing. The program can, for example compare images bezztrátově turn JPEGy, bulk convert formats and handle the basic adjustments of photos. There are at least for trying. For non-commercial purposes can be used completely free.

Nero StartSmart

27.May.2008
Multifunction and very popular package for burning - Nero from Ahead is the most hot program at all. Although Nero has many components, can all its programs run from one window - from the Nero StartSmart.

Nero StartSmart really allows to run all the Nero package. Therefore, when finished burning, you can from the very place where you run the program, run the program for the creation of disk packaging. The advantage is that after the conclusion of Nero programme launched from Nero Smart Start, Nero itself shows. However, it may not close, but only minimize it. This is then hides in the System Tray. Tasks that can Nero, are sorted into several categories - Favorite, Data, Music, Photos and video copying and backup and next. In doing so, in the category of Popular you can right-click to add tasks from other categories.

OTHER OFFICERS

The role of Nero StartSmart is not only run Nero programs. His role is also to administer the programs, or help you to learn to work with them. Features Nero StartSmart are "hidden" in three tlačítkách in the lower right corner of the window. The first - a small change randomly, the second set several settings associated with both Nero StartSmart as with other programs Nero, or choose from a list of skin window. And when you click on the last button to learn more about Nero programs installed on your computer, on their release and serial numbers.

Another useful tool is the left column. He has three parts (boxes), which can develop. In the first box - Applications finds all Nero applications. It is not, however, about the same as in the main part of the window. There you can only choose the tasks that individual programs can. There are, however, only programs, but the tasks that these programs can do. The second part - Nero Toolkit is a function similar to boxing application, but then you run programs on the additional measurements or the administration. A recent box - Handbook offers several pdf and one Internet help, how to work with Nero.

Opera - clever browser

24.May2008
Microsoft Internet Explorer browser windows website is widely used around just because it comes as part of Windows and thus for the average user is becoming the default browser. There is, however, as well as other software such as Internet Explorer. One of them is Opera.

The current version 8.52 Opera browser is free to download on the Internet. Opera provides many opportunities and improvements to Internet Explorer (IE only) definitely not. Let's start loading the page. In IE is only displayed in the status bar panel showing the status of loading, but Opera gives you information on the percentage of loading sites, the number of kilobytes, which were withdrawn on the page or how many files were downloaded.

Another important thing is the Sidebar panels. Here is an e-mail (Opera has become the e-mail client), Chat, Contacts, Notes, and even transfers. References are a good panel. These are specialised only in the Czech Republic and find all the important links of Czech origin. Instead Favourites items that we know of IE, there are Bookmarks. But this is the same. The main change compared to IE is the opening of several web pages in one window Opera. These pages are showing up as a tab between them and you can easily switch. While this is different, but better and more easily to the habit. Opera can be controlled and voice, but the disadvantage is that the Opera "means" only English.

All this has supplemented nice graphics (special for Opera), but you can change the standard Windows. If you are therefore pleased Opera, you can download from the site www.opera.com.

Microsoft Office 2007

19.May.2008
nice and bold graphics, new features, new fonts and lots of other things provides a set of beta office programs - Microsoft Office 2007.

It must be added that the Office 2003 and Office 2007 (otherwise Office 12) makes a big difference, which mainly consists of graphics. Graphic design is based on the expected Windows Vista (as well as Windows Media Player 10). Already during the installation of us will reach a new typeface, background, new forms and other graphics.

PRINTS

Four programs from across the Office are in beta completely different graphics. The main window is in the style of Windows XP, but Windows Vista. The whole form is different in color and created prevails in it other than the Tahoma font (Tahoma was essential characters in recent previous versions of Office). If, however, open another form than the main, graphics nalzneme normal Windows XP and the old script. The new graphics disappear bid to control panels. Instead of clicking on what you initially think that the offer, but potm you realise that actually switching between different operating panels (File, Inser, Preferences ,...).

The graphics, however, have only four programs of the Office and Word, Excel, Access and PowerPoint. In other graphics programs will find the classic, the same as in Office 2003. And here are, however, change the graphics, but only slight.

SCREENSHOTY

If you want to look at a few screen shots from Microsoft Office 2007, visit the gallery component of MS Office 2007.

WHERE find OFFICE 2007

Since Office 2007 is currently the only beta, are normally not sold in shops and even her normally nenarazíte. You can obtain it in several ways. Either that you were given alone or whether you have a friend-developers, which it owns. Last - and the best option is to download it to DC + + format archive iso.

SnagIt

12.May.2008
There is a lot of programs, more complex and simpler, which can sense images from the screen. The SnagIt is a leader in its field. Can a lot of things that others of its species nesvedou.

SnagIt began under the name SnagIt 32 at the time of Windows 95 and its graphics and even its functions were not specific. Gradual development to the present, SnagIt turned in a good helper in capturing images from the computer.

OFFICERS

SnagIt supports both sensing images and video capture. The two functions are their options, such as remove the region, remove the window, remove the text ... The same can be done even in videos. All of these options (such as where to sense what sense, or sense where) you can přeházet differently and do your own. It then creates user profiles, which are considerable assistance.

If you save a file or video, you can edit. This serves two other SnagIt "application" to SnagIt Studio and SnagIt Editor. With SnagIt Studio can immediately after the removal of an image file to adjust, ie add brands and labels, refine it ...

Images can be stored in many different formats, or even convert. Video is stored in avi.

WHERE SnagIt!

SnagIt is a freeware program, but his trial version. After the latest version - SnagIt 7, you will find www.stahuj.cz. If you want to unblock SnagIt - have him as a full version, you need to crack that it is not so readily available.

SnagIt is, despite its errors and some graphic rifts are still the best "sensor" screen

Linux Ubuntu 7.04 Feisty Fawn

7.May.2008
Yesterday I came home and I said that I could no longer be ordered cd new Linux operating system Ubuntu 7.04. Most praesagium it was because of an hour later, Dad went to select box and brought me a package marked by airmail in Belgium. Netrpělivě here opened the package and found two copies of the Ubuntu pc phone and one for 64bit. On the nothing I nečekal and switched on the computer. I welcomed the screen known from earlier versions. The same was the installation.

However, after you install me, it was clear that this version is really different. Perhaps the most pleased me effects, which are really beautiful. Windows in the poaching of different warp and then returns to its original shape (this reminds me very jelly). A 3rd screen is also excellent.

I think that this version to really stand. If you are not just a game maniacs and want to try something other than Wokna so it is really excellent alternative. Therefore, we recommend:)
