Hidden Camera for Home Protection and Detective Activities :-)

My interesting dream since childhood is becoming a detective, investigating crime or making an observation about an object. To make this a reality, I buy some handy-talkie and device for special purpose like hidden camera or pen with secret ink (ink without color, to read it I must heat the letter paper).

For now, the memory still exist with different approach. I’m thinking similar method but it’s all about home and personal protection. Me and my wife are a worker and we usually let our home empty. My son play with his grandfather and grandmother so often worries about the security of my home.

Taking a CCTV is an option to protect my home from thief or something like that but I dont want to make it too complicated. Hidden camera for home protection is a way better because it doesn’t too complicated and easy to use.

I think the hidden camera is like a normal webcam that will make a screenshot certain circumstances, but in fact there are many variations of hidden camera. From the storage, for example, there are a hidden camera with the storage media integrated and the results can be transferred to the memory card. Other types can be directly connected with other devices. Others type can be even more accessible from the internet so that we easily observe the house without having to worry on the safety aspect.

if you want to find any kind of hidden camera and the desired, you may browse security website with special content about Hidden Camera

Secret Agent Camcorder Watch is my preferred choice to buy. Good looking with specific purpose. You would looks like James Bond if you use this watch

Choosing Best Web Hosting Service

Vavai

I’ve becoming blogger for about 5 years now. I’m falling in love with blogging activity after surfing blog article on Enda Nasution’s weblog in 2004. Interested with the benefits offers from blogging activity, I try to register a domain name and hosting. vavai.com is the first choice for domain name but at that time I could not get it because vavai.com has been owned by VAVA International, a company based on USA. After review various name, I decided to used infokreasindo.com which is the abbreviation of Excellent Infotama Kreasindo, the name of my business activities. Techscape is the first choice for hosting because at that time Techscape is one of the best option and looks professional.

With poor blog and hosting knowledge, I start with a website that is built manually with PHP script and static HTML pages. Getting tired after a month or so, I decided to switch into xoops Conten Management System and a year later switched to Serendipity weblog system. Serendipity was quite enough and match with my requirement so I take it as default blog engine until now, although I’m switching into WordPress for some blog of mine.

I used Techscape web hosting for about 2 years ut later moved to Qwords because Techscape getting down their quality and have bad technical support at the moment. I decided to move all of my website after having site down problem frequently. I choose Qwords because I know the owner of Qwords personally and it was easy to contact him for any issue regarding my hosting.

In 2008, I considering another option. Qwords has good support but it has limited size and I could not get ssh access without paid ssh fee. with the capacity and ssh access as primary consideration, I decided to move some website into DreamHost because Dreamhost providing bigger space (500 GB) and including ssh access by default.

With the above experience, choosing the right and better web hosting provider is not an easy task. Cheap or an expensive hosting price is not a guarantee for the quality of hosting service. These are so many factor for best hosting and it would need so many time for choosing the right one.

Beside our friend recommendation, the best way are decided right hosting by reading blog experience and hosting review. Credible reviews with a lot and complete information about hosting service will make our life a lot easier.

One of such credible hosting review is webhostinggeeks.com which has listed the feature, package and facilities from hosting service, including independent review from their user. These are also side menu for choosing the right hosting plans based on selected category, ie : blog , forum , operating sytem, budget price, programming language, reseller or shared, etc.

webhostinggeeks.com give us a lot information before decided the best one to pick as our hosting provider. Please remember that you must carefully reading their review and choosing the right category as easiest way to learn more about features, packages and facilities from each hosting.

Actually, I’m thinking to move my reseller hosting into hostgator after reading webhostinggeeks.com review about reseller hosting

Fix your File Extension Problem on Windows

Vavai

I’m currently using Linux, especially openSUSE Linux but 2 year or 3 years ago I’m a Windows big fans. Now, even not so often, I’m using Windows on my wife’s laptop. She has a laptop with Windows system pre-installed by default (OEM version). Beside the risk of viruses and trojan attack, I also get the problem from registry entry which sometimes lost the file extension and the associated programs.

The problem occurred because the old registry entry be replaced with a new information regarding extension file and the associated program. If you have many software and want to install it and most of them could open any document with suspected extension, the problem may occurred because there’s also various program with the capability to open same application or file with specified extension.

jpg extension as an example. There are many application with the capability opening image file with jpg extension. jpg could be opened with Microsoft Paint, Microsoft Photo Editor, 3rd party application IrfanView or Photoshop or many other application. If we choose Photoshop as default application for jpg extension and suddenly decided to uninstall it, the problem may occurred because Windows sometimes could not restore the default application between various choice.

If this happens, I will manually change the associated program by choosing it from “Open With” command or using file type option within Windows Explorer. if the problem occurs on many files, I must do the same for every problem. This spend so many times only for resolving file extension and associated program so I’m thinking to find better solution. Luckily, someone out there thinking the same thing and make an application to resolve this problem. Applications could be downloaded from Registry File Extensions.

The installation is easy by follows the wizard and choose next-next-next

until finished.

We could launch the application simply by click the shortcut. The main menu will be appear. Here we can make the process of scanning for the possibility of the problems and then choosing registry fix to solve the problems
