You’ve bought yourself a super fast computer with a tonne of RAM, running the latest processor and you’ve been happy about this. A few months later the super fast computer is no longer super fast. If you’re running 4GBor more RAM, this is where a software like RAMDisk can help.
I remember when I first started working with websites more than a decade ago, if you wanted a cool looking button in your form, you had to use images. Images still remain an option but with CSS this has is being gradually phased out. CSS3 completely eliminates the need for images for creating basic good looking designs.
During my regular work, I tend to face repeated issues of Excel hanging. This can be really frustrating because a stuck Excel means a painful wait for Windows to figure out what it wants to do with the process. Unfortunately, there isn’t much I can do about this because it is mainly due to addons that I have installed in Excel, which are required for me to do my job coupled with large files with tens of sheets and hundreds of rows with data.
If you’re a website designer, a WordPress theme developer or just a single site owner, you’ll most likely be using a whole set of CSS styles to generate that perfect design. But, before you’ve got that design ready to deploy across your site(s) or provide for users it is a good idea to check your styles for consistency and compatibility especially since we’re in a world with several different browsers on different operating systems on different devices. CSS Lint is an open source CSS code quality tool that performs static analysis of source code and flags patterns that might be errors or otherwise cause problems for the developer.

Last week, I pointed you towards Constellation, which is an HTML5 based starter theme for WordPress. Another similar bare bones theme that you can use as your starter is called Bones. Bones is also HTML5 starter theme that is powered by HTML5 Boilerplate.
A few weeks back we highlighted a cool plugin to help you code your own. The WordPress repository has a tonne of themes available for you to download. However, if you’re looking to create your very own theme you’re better off starting with Constellation.
WordPress’ support for posts is phenomenal. However, when it comes to managing pages, this is very limited. This is possibly because pages are relatively static and are more to add on permanent sections to your site like Contact forms or download areas like we do here at Techtites.
If you’re regularly blogging, or even just writing, it is important to maximise your speed of typing. Learning touch typing is an important step towards improving productivity. However, if you’re not an expert at touch typing, or would like to speed up still further, then using an autotext software is a very good solution.
Way back in 2008, I wrote about using SUMPRODUCT to duplicate the functionality of SUMIFS which was introduced in Microsoft Excel 2007. SUMPRODUCT is a powerful excel function and is more commonly used to multiply two arrays. Let’s first understand the syntax of SUMPRODUCT.
If you haven’t checked it out yet, Talking Ginger is one of the most popular apps on iTunes currently. It’s late and little Ginger is getting ready for bed. He needs to shower and dry, brush his teeth and go potty.
