Hundreds of folks always ask about an alternative to the TREE command in Windows using the CMD function. Clunky and visually out-of-date.
Try using Jam Software’s TreeSize. They have a free version which creates stunning graphical representations of your tree structures. You may find the interface a bit daunting at first, but once you see through the various options, you’ll find a great FILE->EXPORT command which creates wonderful PDF output.
Our software recommendation this week is:
You may remember that a young woman was recently abducted from a Target parking lot in Overland Park, a suburb of Kansas City Her body was discovered many miles away in Missouri. They were able to locate her by the sequence of cell phone towers that picked up her cell phone location.
She had not attempted to dial out, but when her family was trying to call her the towers could sense her phone. Sadly, the authorities were not able to reach her in time. However, they were able to locate her body which was in an area where they never would have searched without the cell phone tower information.
The cell phone ‘locator’ can be either set on:
There is NO higher battery usage from having it on all of the time.
With it on all the time you can be located by emergency services through the police if you fail to respond (sick, injured or worse). I found that on my phone location’ was not on.
I turned it on so my phone can be traced.
ALL cell phones have this feature. It’s called Location.
It’s under the: Settings tool. (on my phone it’s under Settings, System, Location).
Once you turn this on, THEN your phone is traceable (select ‘Location On’ instead of ‘E911 Only’).
To stay safe, everyone needs to check their phone and turn this on!!!
Please pass the word to everyone you know. Adding a PS here. The idea of using your keys by your bedside or in your hand as an alarm in the event of trouble is an excellent idea. The keys will sound the horn on your car if you use the panic mode. This will work if the car is in the garage or in the driveway. That was sent to me recently.
This is some good information that everybody should have.
Frustrated when you receive a file that you cannot open on your computer. The first thing you should be aware of is that fact that many anti-virus programs may be blocking it from opening which means the file might be mean little “trigger” just waiting to cause you some harm. Our first reaction will be CAUTION.
If you are sure this file is safe, you might want to consider using on online file conversion website.
Zamzar.com has been in existence for well over 15 years and has a great reputation. There is a free version which allows converting files of a certain size. A paid version allows files much larger.
