HTML:

Alright, a lot of people are using sites such as MySpace, and this requires a certain competancy at HTML. HTML codes use tags, there's a beginning tag <b> and an end tag </b>

Here are some basic html commands:

<b>: makes text bold <b>bold text</b>
<u>: makes text underlined <u>underlined text</u>
<i>: makes text italic <i>italic text</i>
<a>: makes a link <a href="http://www.websitetobevisited.com">hyperlink text</a>
<img src="">: Displays an image <img src="Link to image" />
<p>: makes a new paragraph;
<br>: makes a line break
<bgcolor>: changes background color
<text>:changes text color

This is all pretty straightforward, I'll make a more advanced tutorial with codes that are more "fun" per se.

'Till next time...

Make Windows XP Run Faster:

In WindowsXP, as in other versions of Windows, you can make Windows run faster using the MSConfig Utility. This utility can be used to stop programs from starting when Windows boots. You can stop spyware, adware, and unwanted programs by doing the following:

To access this utility Click Start(Fig.1)>Run>type "msconfig"(Fig.2)

Then click the tab that says Startup. unselect all the checked boxes.(Fig.3) I suggest not unselecting things such as Norton Antivirus or Mcafee Antivirus.

If you get an error such as this,







then you need Administrator privileges to access the MSConfig Utility. Talk to your System Administrator about that.

2600

I have to tell you all about the magazine 2600. This magazine, called "The Hacker Quarterly" is extremely informative, even to non-hackers.

So if you are interested, visit www.2600.org or go to your local Barnes&Noble or Borders.

Wow

So, it's been a while. I've cut down on my computers, getting rid of the one without a modem/HDD/memory. Yea it was pretty much an antique motherboard with a case. Haha.

So yea, I gave up on the server idea, and I've gotten more into programming again. w00t.

I've pretty much got HTML down, as well as a few of the BASIC languages. Now im trying to learn C++, notice the word "trying". Haha.

Well I'm out for now,
