Are you a Student/Working professional or any possible techno-geek, here’s for your eyes !!!

By Anonymous
A study earlier this year from the American Academy of Optometry found that working for just two hours on a laptop caused a significant increase in eye pain and vision problems. So even though 70% of people surveyed by the Vision Council refused to admit that their screen time might be messing with their eyes, those of us who spend 8-plus hour workdays in front of computers, or who catch up on our reading on tablets, or who are constantly checking our email on smartphones, have got to be feeling the strain. If you work under such conditions do keep this in mind:

·        Reduce glare by cleaning your screen and making sure it's the most brightly glowing thing in the room. Try not to use your smartphone in direct sunlight. Also, grey backgrounds are easier on your eyes than white.
  • Sit an arm's length away from your computer screen. They recommend the "high-five test": if you can't properly high-five your computer screen (full arm extension is key, people!), you're sitting too close. The screen shouldn't be tilted, and should be positioned right below eye level.
  • "Remind yourself to blink." Screens have a way of making you forget to do that.

  • Take what they call a "20-20-20 break": Every 20 minutes, give yourself 20 seconds to check out what's going on 20 feet away from you.

  • Consider buying a pair of glasses made specifically for computer use. If you think you can pull them off.

  • Look far away at an object for 10-15 seconds, then gaze at something up close for 10-15 seconds. Then look back at the distant object. Do this 10 times. This exercise reduces the risk of your eyes’ focusing ability to “lock up” (a condition called accommodative spasm) after prolonged computer work.

  • Relax your eyes and nervous system with palming, a yogic technique said to preserve eye health. Rub your hands together vigorously. Once your palms are hot from the friction, gently cup them over your eyes, overlapping your fingers on your forehead. Do not press on the eyes. Breathe deeply and relax for at least 30 seconds. You’ll feel refreshed after doing this exercise for even a short time.

How to write a bach file or a batch job?

By Unknown
If your are connected with world of programming, you might have heard this word " Batch File ". A batch file is used to execute a no of operations or a list of commands one after the other often requiring no user input. A no of operations are batched in a file to be executed sequentially when we run that file. In Microsoft Windows Operating system a batch file is a file saved with .bat extension while in other operating systems like Unix and Linux it can be written as a command file shell script. Batch files are often used to load programs, run multiple processes at a time, and perform common or repetitive tasks. For example, a batch job could be used to back up many files on a computer system, process log files, run a series of calculation commands, run multiple system diagnostic processes, or any number of other things that require multiple commands to be run. A big advantage of a batch job is that it can be started at any time and left alone until t...

Recovering Deleted Files, Pictures & Videos

By Unknown
  So many times we accidently delete some important files, pictures or videos. Sometimes we loose files because of unexpected system failure  ( ultimately causing system format). We can get our deleted files back using Recovery Softwares/Utilities.  Even though a file was deleted there is a good chance that contents of the file are still around.  When a file is deleted the contents of the file are not removed. Only a pointer to the file in the file system table is deleted.   It is very important to immediately stop writing to the storage device that previously contained your files/pictures so that the old file contents are not overwritten.  For example, don’t take any more pictures with your digital camera because new pictures will overwrite the deleted files. HOW TO RECOVER DELETED FILES???? Step1: You will need to use a utility to recover your lost files. I like to use a free ut...
