Nothing to do? Take some minutes and check these sites

A few web sites have been created over these last years. One of them is called Picasa. Picasa is a service for hosting all pictures as well managing your albums.

Over there you can publish your photos and videos, share them with your friends, you can also rotate, zoom as well put some nice comments.

If you knew Picasa and you were thinking it was required installing that ugly boring desktop version (Arrrrggh!) offered by Google, I might say you were wrong my friend.

You runaway from it and use Picasa just in your web browser!!!

To do it so right now, visit the Picasa Web Albums.


It's a really awesome way to publish pictures and also use them in your web site or blog. You just have to copy the URL address of the published picture when you see it fully on your screen.

Brand new File Renaming tool: FixFileNames


Hi folks! It's been a long time since I noticed that Windows isn't able to rename all files according to my criteria. I wouldn't download anyones' confusing custom solution. Hence I was working for a couple months in my simple application called FixFileNames.

FixFileNames is written in C# 2.0 language, which is an effort for encouraging new software developers.

The goal here is that FixFileNames makes us able to rename files in your computer, according to our taste!

FixFileNames features are:
  • remove trailing black spaces (blank spaces in the beginning or the end of the file name);
  • remove brackets from the file name;
  • replace a single word or entire blocks of text to another text;
  • change text blocks to Proper Case;
  • put leading zeros if the file name begins with a number below 10;
  • include in the beginning of the name the word or blocks of text you want;
  • change file type extension to lower case;
  • rename just file name which matches a specific file extension
If you'd like to rename all your favorite files using just few mouse clicks, download FixFileNames at the following links:
