Down-sizing with Picture Manager!

I found it very difficult to upload larger images to my space restricted Blogger blog posts: the images were being published with one third of it concealed! So, I began to find a way to down size such images, and succeeded in it by using an ingenious way (note the neat down-sized images in this  post of my other blog):

Right click on the image to be uploaded and open it with Microsoft Office Picture Manager . Click on the Edit Pictures… tab of this Manager, click on the Resize found under the Change picture size (or click on the Standard bar Picture tab  Resize). Check in the Custom width x height radio button that is present under Resize settings. Enter into the boxes the required width and height pixel numbers (as needed for the Blogger post editor or the Google Docs editor), and then click the OK button present under Size setting summary. The image will have been resized now! Click on the Save icon present on the Tool bar to save it, and close the Picture Manager. Now the image is ready for uploading into the Blogger post editor (or the Google Docs file) and getting published fitting snug in the blog page!

Gloves of G-Speak chase Mouse!

In the previous month there was news about a substitute for our computer mouse: it is a pair of gloves that is to be worn on the hands for operating a new computer system called G-Speak. With these gloves worn on we can move data on the computer screen with much freedom and ease unlike our mouse; an object on the screen can be transferred to another page by simply ‘holding’ it, or it can be zoomed in to larger sizes by ‘pulling’ it towards us!
Such a computer system using these special gloves has been developed by designers at Los Angeles.
