Do not take things for granted - Drag and Drop

Do you Drag and Drop? I do. And I do it very often too. I Drag and Drop files from one folder to another. I Drag and Drop mails from one folder to another. I Drag and Drop many times a day.

Some times, I lose the Drag and Drop functionality. The mouse still works. Of course, I can still right click to Copy or Move, right click on the destination and then select Paste. But it's very frustrating when something you do in one cool mouse gesture now requires so many clicks.

Today, it happens two times. I logged off and logged in again and it didn't work. I restarted the machine to regain the D&D ability. Then it is gone again!

I have checked many websites with many different opinions on this. Some suggested spyware, worms, etc. I don't think I have any. I trust Kaspersky and Advanced System Care very much. In this aspect, I adhere to the adage that you use what you trust and trust what you use. Otherwise, don't use. Same with people. If you 'use' ('use' here means delegate, ask for help, depend, etc. Not the commonly used 'used' when it comes to people) someone, don't doubt. If you doubt, don't use. But I digress.

Some people also suggest re-registration of the DDE DLL. Some suggested to reinstall Windows. No way.

Then I found this Tech Arp article. My Escape key was stuck! I pressed it once to release it and I am back to may all powerful able to Drag and Drop self.

Thanks. I didn't have to pull out any of my already scarce hair.

Praise God!

Porn on your PC?

Pastor Richard Toh spoke about how easy porn can get into one's PC even when one is not looking for it. He said we would read our mails and an embarrassing image could appear on our screen before we got a chance to delete it.

Consider the case of Ms. Amero, who suffered a miscarriage and the shame of having her teaching license revoked because a malware caused a PC to show unbecoming images to a class of students. And oh, she has to pay a USD 100 fine. She originally faced 40 years in jail.

The IT Manager claimed the virus protection was updated weekly even though the product was discontinued by the developer 6 months before. It is this kind of people that brings shame to the profession.

Looking for God?

I got these two links from my dear sister Mandy's email.

English - Looking for God
Chinese - 认识神

If you have unbeliever friends who like to surf web, give them the links.

发现新大陆--文言文维基大典!

节自维基大典

基督教奉耶和華為獨一父神,以其子耶穌為基督,真王天下者也。奉其國臨於人世,自認原罪,虛中以受聖言,領浸洗禮,並以左右諸色人種為友于,愛之不息,並敏於行。各支派教義有少異者,而其大處相合無疑矣。

欲一览全文,点击此耳。

YOUR Bible Online?

This evening, while waiting for K to pick me up, I bumped into this wonderful tool from Christianity.com. It's an online Bible with references, footnotes, Red Letters and allows you to highlight scriptures. It's yours! All you need is a free registration. There are references, a library, devotionals, reading Bible in one year and even a sermon help section.

Then, after dinner (we had a late dinner), I found WordLive. Wow! Scripture Union has expanded to cyberspace! A free registration will get you an online Bible, podcasts, email subscriptions, RSS, etc.

God is good. This is my cup of tea.
