Manage a site, paid handsomely your provider, but occasionally you still see that horrible Error 500 on the home page of your website?
Glad I found something that is probably the hot water for many geeks: how to monitor continuously the down of a site to keep track of any times when it is down for server issues.

Pingdom.com The site offers a screening of 'uptime - time in business: the interval of time that a system has been functioning without interruption - the sites, and free membership allows you to monitor a site for free, this is more than enough if we have only one site is vital to our business, if we want to monitor the status of multiple sites can still pay for the premium membership - Basic and Business - to monitor up to 30 sites simultaneously.
The service is configured to notify us if they occur too prolonged downtime, via email but also via SMS or Twitter!
Monitoring the state of the website is at the same time from different geographical locations, so as to dispel any doubts about the possibility that the error does not depend on our server.

I also have configured the monitoring, and for now I even put a link in the footer of the blog to get a quick shortcut and - why not? - Also to visitors curious to see the state in time of the server that I hosted.

After discussing the importance of the color settings in websites, as users must also bear in mind your personal settings of our screens.
In the preferences panel of OSX's Universal Access that allows you to invert the colors of the monitor on your Mac, but there are a couple of programs that go a little 'further, providing a more thorough way of fiddling with the various problems vision.

For example there is software called Nocturne that lets you switch between two settings, day and night, and lets you customize the color settings and brightness for both presets. If you have a MacBook Pro, nocturia also works in conjunction with the light sensor embedded.

Nocturne recognizes that certain features of OSX are so terrible with screen colors inverted or monochrome mode, which also gives the option to hide the background image of the desk and turn off the shadows of the windows (which I personally have always found an unnecessary surplus, which only serves to suck memory Ram!)

Until recently we never could have imagined being able to even create or edit video in a semi-professional online: the relatively low power of the home-computer and the slow speed of the network were actually insurmountable.
Now, in addition to free video editing programs, there are also free online video editor in the form of web applications that make us spend more than anything or not, allow us to edit video with simply using a web browser!

The free online video editors are not readily applied at the level of professional video editing programs - such as Adobe Premiere, Avid Liquid Pro, Corel Video Studio Pro, Final Cut Studio application, Pinnacle Studio Ultimate Pro or Sony Vegas - but in compensation very simple and fast to use, and for most non-professional users are more than sufficient for the creation of video editing, photo slide, perhaps by adding a soundtrack.

Here are some sites that give users the ability to edit video online.

MIXandMASH.tv

MIXandMASH.tv is an application that lets you create video remixes and mashups online, from photographs and videos that we load ourselves, or using the content uploaded and shared by users of the community. It allows a lot of transactions: the cutting of the clips, and video images superimposed on different levels, addition of audio tracks, sound effects and text-to-speech, a very broad spectrum of effects, chroma key, ... and much more!

We already know how to keep your software we have installed in your PC without much effort, given that there are programs that help us in this, but what to do when we keep people healthy hardware, namely, the physical part of your PC?
If you're like most of us, you can probably say that your processor is Intel or AMD, you may know how much RAM you have installed on your PC, and maybe you will know how much memory has your hard drive, but often are unable to go further than that.

There is a very useful when we need more detailed information than you can learn by right-clicking the mouse on My Computer and selecting Properties.

So we can have information about any of our computer hardware, including CPU, motherboard, RAM, graphics cards, hard drives, optical drives (readers and writers), sound cards, etc..
Speccy also also gives information about the temperature of internal components, in order to assess the presence of trouble!

At first glance it may seem Speccy a program to freak, geek, or at least from a system administrator, we understand that looking good can also easily be a program for novice users.

I have not had time to become aware of the upcoming new features of Photoshop CS5 that immediately I hear of more news!
After the old Clone Stamp made his appearance the new tool "patch" - I do not remember ilnome Journal - which allows for touch-ups that had the extraordinary - for people like me who was using Photoshop since version 3 - carrying out the review over dirty or damaged photographs.

Now makes its appearance a new photo-editing tool that will allow new amazing performance.
This is a thing called Patch Match, which could be translated roughly, and a little 'humor, with "Piece Correspondent.

The new Adobe Patch Match goes beyond the traditional photo-editing tool, do something amazing in the cancellation not only of dirt and scratches on surfaces more or less uniform, but is also designed for the removal of items that cover large portions of the image , going to cover different backgrounds and not uniform, or even patterns and textures with perspective deformations!
Watch the video below to better understand what it is ...

It seems that friends of Adobe is preparing to churn out a new version of Photoshop, the CS5, with new features that could serve or not.

The first is the three-dimensional brushes, or a new set of "brush" that change shape during use, as happened in Painter, the brush for painting and "realistic".
The second is the warping, the ability to edit pictures in a fluid, using the "pinpoints" ie the points that remain fixed while the rest of the image moves.
The following video shows clearly how these two new features of Photoshop CS5 ...
