Macfortune:
Dear Friends,
It's unfortunate that I may sound weird or kind of outdated in knowledge but it's the fact, I've been hearing about Simple Server and its use(s) but I've not made use of it to be honest... Please I need help on how to get it, carry out the necessary setup, and also wanna know if it has different versions, if yes, which is the best? If no, is there any alternative instead of using the simple server?
Thanks For Your Understanding!
There is nothing to be ashamed of in asking questions.
Many blog posts have been made on how to use simple server, all you need to do is to Google it. Or alternatively you can visit this post ->>http://www.naijaetech.com/simplest-way-to-use-simple-server-on-pc/

Though the post focus mainly on how to use it on PC using tethering hotspot but it also talked about how to set it up on android phone.

ComputersHow To Know If Someone Used Your Computer In Your Absence by Astutechris(op): 5:17pm On Sep 26, 2015
Do you know you can tell if someone used ur PC behind your back?

Here is how to that.

Step #1: Open the Run dialog box and type eventvwr.msc and hit OK to open the Event Viewer. A quick way to open the Run dialog box is by pressing Windows+R, or your can find it by searching “run” in the app search box.



You can also open the Event Viewer by typing “event viewer” in the app search box.

Step #2: In the Event Viewer, you may see warnings and error log from applications. Don’t worry about it.



Event logs are normally stored in three log files: Application, Security and Systems and this log events can be viewed.

To view boot log of your PC, click on “Windows log” on the left sidebar and click on “System” from the drop-down menu. Right-click on “System” (first click on it before right-click) and select “Filter Current Log”.



Step #3: In the Filter Current Log window, click the arrow on “Event sources” box look for “Power-Troubleshooter” and hit OK two times.

The options there are arranged in alphabetical order, so just quickly scroll down to “P”.

Step #4: Once the log is filtered, you will be left with info on the date and time you system was accessed and the mode it was on (whether it was on sleep mode, hibernate, or shoot down) before being accessed, with the latest access info being on top of the log.



Select a log to view more information about it in the box below. You can view when the computer was last turned off and how the computer was turned on.

With this trick, you can check whether your computer was accessed in your absence by checking if there is any access information you are not aware of.

Don’t forget to share because sharing is caring.

ComputersHow To Make Your Computer Faster by Astutechris(op): 11:42am On Sep 08, 2015
This post was originally published here-->> http://www.naijaetech.com/how-to-speedup-your-computer-with-just-one-click/ with details on how to fix a slow computer or a computer that hanging or crashing with just one click.

Here is a breif excerpt from the post:

#1. You can also speedup your computer by checking your hard drive for errors and optimizing and defragmenting your hard drive.

To do that, simply open “This PC”, right-click on your hard drive and select “properties”. Then click on “Tools” and you will see the “Check for error” option and the “Optimize and defragment” option.

Cleanup your PC

Side note: You don’t need to do this if you used the 1-Click PC Tuneup.

#2. If your computer takes too long to boot, this may be because of too many apps that start with your PC whenever you turn it on.

You can disable the apps that you don’t want to boot with your PC. To do this, open your Task Manager (a quick way to do this is to use the shortcut Ctrl+Shift+Esc).

Once your Task Manager is opened, click on the “Startup” tab and you will see a list of apps that start with you PC. You can disable the ones you don’t want by selecting them and clicking “Disable”.

Speedup your PC

Warning: You need to be very careful here, make sure you disable only the apps you are sure of what the do and you’re sure you don’t need!

If you’re on windows 7 or lesser versions, you can find the “Startup” tab by entering “msconfig” (without the quotes) in the search box and opening the msconfig.exe file.

Thanks as you help
I'm assuming you are going for a new laptop.

On that note, Dell has a lot of good laptop around that price. A simple way to get more idea is to head over to jumia or konga and search for "laptop" and select the price range you want.

If you are going for a mini-laptop, I think this post will here-->> http://www.naijaetech.com/mini-laptops-in-nigeria/ will be of help.

If your are willing to go for 10.1inches you can get a laptop of 2gb ram and 250hdd at that price range. But if you insist on 14inches, then you have to step up ur budget.
WebmastersFacebook Link Share Preview Not Working - How To Fix It by Astutechris(op): 6:27pm On Sep 01, 2015
I recently had this problem so when I figured out how to solve it, I decided to share it here in case if anyone else is having the same problem because I noticed that the problem is not uncommon.

You may have noticed that if you want to share a like on facebook, it will pull up the title of the post, a litle description and an image from the post you want to share like the one in the image below. But sometimes it will show just the URL of the homepage of the website in the preview or showe the wrong title and description. This isn't normal. This can be caused by a lot of different probs that I can't go into the details here. I'm here to offer the solution to that.

To solve that simply head over https://developers.facebook.com/tools/debug/ , copy and past the link you want to share into the URL box and click debug then click on "fetch new scrap information". If the new page returns 200 response code, then you know your problem is solved.
If it didn't return 200 response code, then your case is critical. You can share the error massage return here let's see how we can fix it.

I wish to know which one is better between free dos laptop and those with Windows Os and why... . Anyone with idea of it should share.... thanks in advance
Advantage? ...well I don't know of any.

But for disadvantage? I know of one. You will eventually install an OS in it and that where the disadvantage lies.
A new laptop comes with a genuine windows os (which normally cost around N10k), unlike the windows os u will get in the market for around N400.

WebmastersFind What You Are Looking For Faster On Google by Astutechris(op): 10:54am On Aug 27, 2015
There was a time I use to spend a lot of time on Google searching for something and sometimes, I won’t find exactly what I was looking for or before I will find it, I must have wasted a lot of time.

I know a lot of people still face this problem. A lot of people get frustrated because they can’t find what they are looking for. You don’t have to be. Google doesn’t have all the answers to your questions, but understanding how Google and other search engines work and learning some search tricks can help save you a lot of time while still finding exactly what you are looking for.

So how does Google and other search engines work?

When you enter a phrase in Google search for instance, Google crawls the entire web looking for websites that contain the same or similar keywords and then displays them (according to the ones it considered to be the most relevant and safest) for you as a result.

As I mentioned in the previous paragraph, Google looks for keywords and not every word in you question or phrase.

Keywords here simply means the words that Google considers to be the most important.

There are some words that Google and search engines in general ignore when searching for your query unless you typed only these words. These words are known as stop words and they include words like on, is, was, a, etc. You might consider not including those words when next you want to search on Google since it will ignore them anyway.
Related: Simplest Way To Use Simple Server On PC

HAVING SAID THAT, HERE ARE SOME SIMPLE TRICKS I USE TO GET RESULT FAST ON GOOGLE.

#1. Type only the keyword (the words you consider to be the most important). Since Google will ignore the stop words, why bother including them in your search query?

For example, instead of searching “my laptop screen turn black after booting how do I fix that?”, you can simply search “laptop black screen solution”. Remember Google is a robot not a human being.

#2. Use quotation marks to find the websites that contains exactly the words you are looking for. When you put your search query in quotation marks, Google will only bring out websites that contains the exact same phrase the exact way you typed it.

The image below shows an example.



#3. Use asterisk (*) to search for popular quotes or phrases that you can’t remember some of its word. An example is if you want to search for the statement “the quick brown fox jumps over a lazy dog” but can’t remember the whole statement, you can put the words you remember in asterisk and Google will do the rest.



#4. Adding hyphen (-) before a word tells Google to exclude the word while crawling for results.

A typical example is when you search for the word “jaguar”, Google will show you result for Jaguar cars, but that might not be the type of jaguar you have in mind.


To exclude Jaguar cars from the result in this scenario, simply type jaguar -cars in the search box. Be mindful not to leave a space between the hyphen and the word.



#5. Use double period (..) to search for range. For example, if you want to search for laptops between the range of 60k to 80k in Nigeria, you simply type laptops N60k..N80k.

#6. Using colon (smiley

a. To get result only from a specific website, use the following format. site:site URL keyword. An example is shown in the image below.



b. To find websites relating to a particular website, use the following format; related:site URL. An example is shown in the image below.



c. To get information about a particular website, use the following format; info:site URL. Here is an example.



d. To get results for only a specific type of file, use the filetype operator in the following format; filetype:file_format keyword. For example, filetype:mp3 make it shine by victorious.

Observe that there is no space between the colon and the preceding words.

#7. If you want to get the meaning of a word, simply type define before the word.


#8. Do you know that you can search for an image by dragging and dropping the image into Google image search box?



#9. If you want to limit search result to a specific time period, click on “search tool” button, then click on “Any time” and select the time period you want.



You can also select a custom time range by clicking on the “Custom range…” and put your custom time period.

#10. You can quickly convert units by typing it in the search box as shown in the image below.



#11. To find the weather condition of a particular city or place, simply type the weather followed by the city name. An example is shown in the image below.

#12. Do you know that you can find the customer service contact info of a company by simply typing customer service followed by the company name? Here is an example:



Hope that these tips helps you get exactly what you are looking for faster on Google.

WebmastersRe: Help On How To Point Multiple Domain To One Website by Astutechris(m): 10:26am On Aug 27, 2015
A simple solution I think is to do domain forwarding, that's how I normally do it.

The process can vary across registrars. Google how to do it for the domain registrar you are using.
WebmastersRe: Suggest Cheap Webhosts by Astutechris(m): 10:13am On Aug 27, 2015
You can get $1 per month hosting for the first year on GoDaddy plus free domain if you pay for one year. That is $12 for one year for domain and hosting.

I believe that's cheap enough.

Note: it is only for the first year and for first time customers.

1and1.com also offers similar plan but I haven't used 1and1 hosting so I don't know how reliable they are.
