Share your wifi on Windows 7

I believe I hit a jackpot in saving you maybe around $100 and maybe just spending $25. If you have windows 7 and a laptop or a desktop with a wireless network adapter that receive a wired connection you certainly benefit.  Instead of having a router, just use your computer to create a wireless signal.  To start, you must download connectify at connectify.me.  From here use the software and create your hot spot by naming it, putting a password, and sharing that wired internet. It is that easy, plus it is free! Here is a video from connectify.me with more instructions: [youtube=http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jPgrAOuiWuk]

See where your money goes

Is the economy in a bad situation or is the media the problem to blame? I still live my normal life, not saving much, till I found Mint.com. This service lets you manage your budget, expenses,  and investment. It has an iphone and android app so you can see it on the go. I use it to see if nobody has used my debit card. Also, if you use your credit card and debit card for everything you can see how much you waste on food, gas, shopping and much more. I strongly recommended it. Oh, and about security do not worry Mint's back-end(servers) use the same security as banks. So don't worry much.

Save Time Accessing Certain Files!!

Are you tired of going into folders just to find something? Well the solution is here. You can customize it by going into the taskbar and start menu properties by going to the search feature on the start-up menu and searching Taskbar and Start Menu. This application can manage how the folders are shown on your menu and what kind of style you want it. You can set your start menu to have folders that you usually use so they can be easily accessible. To do this open up the taskbar and start menu properties. Next go to the Start Menu tab, and click customize. There you can customize the start menu, for example: make certain files as a menu and not as a link, as is set by default.

Secure sites using https

Are you a Firefox user? Most people are. Are you concerned about your online security? You very well should be. If you did not know, you can tell when you are on a secure site by checking the address bar in your browser.

That is tip number one. The next tip is forcing your browser to put https on most of the sites you go to. That way you are 100% secure that nobody is reading your data by packet sniffing. In order to force your browser to put https you need Firefox and a plug-in called HTTPS Everywhere. This plug-in will force https on sites like:

  • Google Search
  • Wikipedia
  • Twitter and Identi.ca
  • Facebook
  • EFF and Tor
  • Ixquick, DuckDuckGo, Scroogle and other small search engines
  • and lots more!

PDANet is software that lets you use your cell phone's  internet and use it on your computer. It works on many platforms. Some are Android, iphone, BlackBerry, Windows mobile, and many more. This usually works most of the time. It really depends on your carrier and phone. If you need help connecting your Android phone let me know. Good Luck!
