Use the Snipping Tool to Capture Menus

August 27, 2009 By Robert Owen

When Vista came on the scene one of the new features I thought was pretty cool was the new Snipping tool.  It's a really useful little utility and for the most part it's great.  In Windows 7, the tool is still there (no improvements that I can see).  But, one of the things about this little utility that bothered me was my inability to use it to capture context and other drop-down menus.  Every time I would open the menu I needed to capture, it would disappear as soon as I selected the Snipping … [Read more...]

History Lesson

June 11, 2009 By Robert Owen

Continuing on the Theme of  "Posts eaten" , we have this beauty below. It truly is a dandy, must be because, Wordpress ate it up like a plate of Chocolate covered bacon... mmmm, bacon! A friend of mine sent me a bit of information about our Presidential line that I did not know so, I thought I would share. Who was the first President? I'm sure that George Washington was your best guess. After all, no one else comes to mind. But think back to your history books - The United States … [Read more...]
