The Most Flexible File Converter Around Online

These days, media abounds.

You can download video, audio, photos, images, compressed archives of folders filled with more files.

Once you get them to your PC, there are many times when you need the actual content, but not in the file format that it currently resides in.  So how do you go about getting what you want?

Once you discover file conversion, you’ll start to think about what videos you’ll want to push to your cell phone, etc.

This is when you need file conversion software.  And there are a bunch of great applications for various circumstances.

However, as always, there are online services that will do the trick for you without installing any software.  Zamzar.com and media-convert.com are 2 of my favorites.  But I just found another one that seems to handle almost anything you can throw at it. . .

Make Sure You Gain An Hour At The Right Time!

My, how time flies…Daylight savings is upon us.

This year, in 2008, Daylight Saving Time begins on March 9 and ends on November 2nd.

(And for you future minded people, in 2009, Daylight Saving Time begins on March 8th and ends on Nov. 1st.)

The problem is that not all Windows Mobile cell phones - and desktop PC’s for that matter - are up-to-date regarding the recent change in how we do daylight savings here in the United States.  If you recall, the US Government figured out that we don’t actually save electricity nor increase productivity by changing the timing of our clocks — so they moved the dates to confuse us all last year.

This year is no different, but you can be a little better prepared so that your cell phone time/date isn’t out of sync for a week or two based on the new daylight savings calendar.

So this is just a reminder to make sure you have applied the updates to your desktop PC’s windows / Vista platform, your Microsoft Outlook and your Windows Mobile device should be fine with your next syncs.   The list of Microsoft applications that are affected are:

How To Edit and Fill Out PDF Forms Without Adobe Acrobat

While the Adobe Acrobat file format is very useful and welcomed by all, the price of the Adobe Acrobat editing software is not.

For years, people would plunk down literally hundreds of dollars to be able to create PDF documents.  I’ve written about various ways to convert documents into PDF format for free - both via virtual PDF printer drivers which allow you to save PDF files to your drive from any program like PDFCreator or online services like Zamzar or Koolwire.

But what about the times when you want to actually edit or fill out a PDF form you are given?  For example, many of the IRS documents found online now or a simple passport application, etc.

Recently, I’ve been using a free online pdf editor service which allows you to open up PDF files from your computer or elsewhere on the Internet.  And then you can easily add text to the various form fields.  They even have a neat little “checkmark” maker to add check mark boxes found on many forms!  I love this new website I’ve found. . .
