Use Keyboard to Move Mouse Cursor When Mouse Not Working

Posted on 2012 | Leave a comment

I usually prepare a set of rechargeable batteries for my wireless mouse, but I occasionally forget to recharge the batteries and that the time I need to use my keyboard to move mouse cursor to keep working with my PC. This is my own reason of why I keep a mouse emulator program. It comes very handy when your mouse stops working suddenly and you have no time to fix it or to buy another one yet.

Windows has provided a built-in feature called as Mouse Keys that lets you move mouse cursor using the numeric keypad, but it isn’t good enough. Fortunately, there are a number of free utilities that can do it better. Continue reading →

Posted on 2012 | Leave a comment

If you simply need to extract bin files, you don’t need to buy a software to do that — I just downloaded a RAR archive containing a 600MB Bin file and found that apparently my installed 7-zip couldn’t extract the file, so I searched for a free extraction tool that can extract bin file. Surprisingly, among ZipGenius, PeaZip, IZarc, Universal Extractor, Zipeg and some other free file extraction tools, I found that only IZarc can extract bin files. I even tried to use Winrar, the most popular extraction shareware, but still failed to extract it. I used IZarc for the extraction and the result was great. Continue reading →

How to Create Animated GIF Online

Posted on 2012 | Leave a comment

An animated GIF image offers an attractive way to display your picture as people are naturally more interested in moving objects rather than the static ones.

Here I use 5 JPG images to produce an animated GIF. There are many online GIF animation makers, but here we use only Picasion to create animated GIF online. It’s free and doesn’t require any sign up to use the tool. Continue reading →

How to Extract Text from Images & PDF Files With Google Docs

Posted on 2011 | Leave a comment

Sometimes you might find PDF files whose texts are heavily surrounded by images. In my case, I usually find this pattern on PDF ebooks discussing about photography. While some images are useful to provide visual explanations, some are just there to make the content looks appeal to be read.

If you don’t feel like want to install anything just for the extraction, you can use Google Docs as an alternative. If you already have a Gmail account, then you can directly access Google Docs.
