School has me super occupied right now, and posting on this blog hasn't been at the top of my priority list. So here are just a couple of random tips for your reading pleasure.
Looking for quality screen capture software? The Jing Project is a free download that I have been consistently using for school assignments. Easily capture screen activity for the whole desktop or just a selected area or specific window, and instantly upload it to your personal library (also free) at Screencast. Making a screen capture video of a specific process or system feature can be an excellent way to show someone how it's done. For the non-techy, watching a step-by-step video is usually easier to understand than following written directions. Download Jing, create a Screencast account, and you're good to go!
Googling information pertaining to Linux? Frustrated by all the unrelated results? Refine your search before you've even entered keywords by going to www.google.com/linux. All results will be specific to Linux, and you'll have far less irrelevant sites to wade through. (Go to www.google.com/microsoft to receive Windows-specific results.)
