Print Large Image to Multiple pages in Windows

I never thought of Windows can do this, yes, just Windows, and its default programs. No third party software, no need freeware or paidware. Just Windows. Surprisingly!

Yesterday I wanted to print a map on more than one pages (so that I get a bigger picture), so I tried my favourite image viewer see if it works, but somehow it don't have that option, too bad. Of course I can fire up my freeware Photoshop equivalent software, which is GIMP, and start splitting up the image to a few pieces and then print one by one. But that would take more time right? So I go to Google and Google it as usual.

And I did find the solution and no new software need to be install, just like that I said in the beginning of this post. Here is how:

1. Open the image that you want to print with Paint (Start -> Accessories -> Paint). Or copy the image and paste it on Paint once you have open it.
2. Select "Print" -> "Page Setup" (Windows 7 and Vista), or "File" -> "Page Setup" (Windows XP).
3. At "Scaling", select "Fit to" and then change the setting to "2" by "2" page(s ).
4. Click OK.
5. Print the image from Paint, make sure you select to print "All Pages".

That's it, you then can collect the print out from printer and merge them (with scissors and glue, to trim down the white spaces and stick them) if you want to. Also you can play with the print margin to reduce the white spaces as much as possible.

Of course it might take a few times to get use to it on the setting on step 3 showed above, but there is way avoid wasting papers, what would be another day to write on that, if I ever remember to write it. :P

Should apply to Windows XP, Windows Vista and Windows 7.

Blogger has new look

I hope I am not too outdated to write this. :P
Blogger has new look now. Using the same old interface for a few years already, suddenly need to change. But luckily it all just make it look nicer, so that it don't looks like dinosaur age blogging platform. But did Google improve the performance?

Anyway, why with the cosmetic change? I think it is because other blogging platform are catching up with blogger. So Google has to do something about it.

I am writing a new post regarding printing large image to multiple pages, still work in progress. Note the "Publish", "Save", "Preview" are on top right, not below the writing box anymore. Also a "close" button(?), wonder what it does, close without save?


Other settings for each post moved to right side of the writing box.


You can see how many comments and pageview for each post. Others settings like Layout, Settings, etc are at left side of the page.


I start to like this new interface, will continue use this for another few days. However if you don't like it, you still able to to switch back to the old interface, at right top of above picture.

Again, I hope Google improve the performance and stability of blogger as well. There was some outage over the years. Another thing we can do is to speed up the loading time, like what I did in this post.

Has been a while no teardown posted here, now it is time for another one. I am always a fan of teardown since I know how to use a skew driver. I haev opened up old TV set, amplifier, radio, telephone, handphone/cellphone, anything that I can open up at home I will do it. Most of the time these stuffs still working after I assembly back, luckily. I should get a job on teardown stuffs. :)

Anyway, this is a teardown video on latest Sony Vaio Z by Sony official channel on youtube, called Sony Sgnl (pronounced as "Signal").

How to make ubuntu easier to use?

Until today, there are a lot of people think that Linux is the GUI/interface that looks like the computer monitors within Matrix movie, everything is in codes, codes and codes. Well, that is not true anymore, for many years already. There are a lots of Linux variant out there, including ubuntu.

A website from UK is a good reference to make your experience with Ubuntu as fun as possible, introducing OMG! Ubuntu!

http://www.omgubuntu.co.uk

A lot of useful information and news regarding Ubuntu in this website. The Apps section continuously update new apps or tricks and tips on apps for Ubuntu. This website is like Facebook fanpage for Ubuntu. :)

Even you are not Ubuntu user, probably it is a good source to see if you want to switch to Ubuntu.

Btw, Happy belated 20th birthday Linux!

Nokia cheap and good phone

Nokia recently has announced 2 cheap and good phone, Nokia 100 and Nokia 101. Target for emerging market, these 2 phone has to be cheap and good. Priced at only 25 euros (US$35) and 20 euros (US$30), respectively, still they are a huge investment for people from country that have average yearly income less than average silicon valley employee's daily income.

This reminded me on my 2nd phone (Nokia 2600) was also a cheap but good phone, it lasted for many years and still survive after countless times of "drop test". ;)



I think Nokia still good at making non-smartphone, and Nokia should stop making smartphone. :)
