Change Google+ Language

The language is on Tagalog mode..

This is the first thing I always wanna modify on every sites or networking community I have joined, its language settings. I always wanna have the standard language (English, though it's not my native language) so it'll be easier to navigate and do other stuffs.

So..
1. click on the gear tool on Google+ menu bar to find Google+ settings.
2. click the first option (tagalog mode - Mga Setting ng Google +), it would probably mean Google+ settings

By now..you'll be transferred to a settings page...

Splender - I think God can explain

There's a lot of things I understand,

and there's a lot of things,

That I don't want to know.

But you're the only face,

I recognize, It's so damn sweet of you,

to look me in the eyes.

It's all right, I'm O.K.,

I think God can explain,

I believe I'm the same,

I get carried away

It's alright, I'm O.K.,

I think God can explain

I'm relieved, I'm relaxed,

I'll get over it yet,

The scent of vaseline,

in the summertime,

the feel of an ice cube,

melting over time,

the world seems bigger than both of us,

yet it seems so small,

when I begin to cry.

It's all right, I'm O.K.,

I think God can explain,

I believe I'm the same,

I get carried away

It's alright, I'm O.K.,

I think God can explain

I'm relieved, I'm relaxed,

I'll get over it yet,

I'm so much better than you guessed,

I'm so much bigger than you guessed,

I'm so much brighter than you guessed.

It's all right, I'm O.K.,

I think God can explain,

I believe I'm the same,

I get carried away

It's alright, I'm O.K.,

I think God can explain

I'm relieved, I'm relaxed,

I'll get over it yet,

I'll get off of your back,

I think God can explain.

I think God can explain.

I think God can explain.

iGoogle.. my personalized and online desktop tool

It's been more than couple of months since I tried iGoogle as the homepage for my browsers (Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox). 

• I can add gadgets like My Notes, To do List, Calendar, PcWorld news, Youtube, and etc.
• I can have social networking sites such as the Twitter and Facebook by adding gadgets too.
• I can blog instantly with the help of a gadget.
• I can access different services provided by Google like my Gmail inbox, have some chat with my Gmail contacts, etc...
• I can personalized the whole homepage. 
• I can rearrange the gadgets.
• I can edit the theme of the homepage or just use themes already provided from the net..

It's way faster and really helpful for me especially My Notes and To do list gadgets. I can almost have a desktop anywhere I go, as long as I can access the internet and my gmail account.

Note: You can't use the iGoogle without an account!

(as far as I know. I've tried to use it when I didn't login.. but I failed..)

That's I guess a drawback with it. You may have to login all the time or remember your account so you can use iGoogle always. And who knows what THEY may be doing with the information gathered from our personalized homepage... :) Just thinking about it..

Nonetheless, I like using iGoogle.. :) thumbs up for my online desktop..iGoogle..

Color Picker and Color Sniffer

Color mixing and matching may be hard during the designing process. Photo editor or other designing applications provide us with their own color picke. The application works by clicking a spot in the box of colors or virtual palette and the application will generate the necessary code (HSB and RGB) or automatically change their primary color to be used.

This is a sample color picker provided by Paint.net which I often use than the ordinary Paint provided by Windows. You click the spot (mouse pointer is represented by a small box) of desired color from the pie of colors or the color palette provided below and the application changes automatically its primary color.

This other application is an online color picker tool provided by Color Picker.com. The same rule applies. You click on the spot (mouse pointer is represented by the small circle) and the tool generates code for HSB and RGB found on the right part.

Additional feature is also given wherein you can save or add the colors in the My Colors or palette part found right below the tool.



And my most preferred tool from all I've used is the Color Sniffer. I've seen it first from a video tutorial of designing a Microsoft PowerPoint Presentation template. I found it very useful and easy to use. You can easily pick colors from the screen (giving us freedom in choosing colors). This application is found in Rcfreestyle website. You can download it there.


So how to use it?
Click on the dropper tool and hold down your left mouse while you pick colors from the screen.


While holding down your left mouse, the dropper color changes to white. As you pause from navigating through the screen or release the mouse, codes for RGB, HEX, and HTML are generated. I use the HTML or HEX codes most of the time for my web designs and java application development.

I enlarged the picture to show the dropper clearly (I hope so)... :)

The problem with this application is that when you hit the OK button, the application closes. So you have to reopen the application to use it again. To avoid this, you just leave the application to your preferred location on the screen. To avoid it from blocking the other windows, I place it right below the screen, maybe somewhere on the clock part (lower right part) or even lower than that place.

You can also use another color sniffer application. The whole logic is also the same with the sniffer.

Quick HTML Color Picker - Quick HTML Color Picker is a free Windows color picker tool. With Quick HTML Color Picker, you can easily pick any color from the screen. You can preview the color, use mouse or keyboard to select the color you wanted, and get the color in RGB and HTML format. You can cancel a capture by "Esc" key or right-clicking. Supports saving html color value to clipboard automatically. And it's totally free! - the site

So find the application on http://quick-html-color-picker.allgraphicstools-com.qarchive.org/ .

Enjoy this fun and easy ways on choosing colors :) It'll help much for the mix and match color designs..
