Memory Upgrade

Published by nice under Gadgets, Technology

If there’s one undesirable trait that I have, it is impatience. I don’t want to wait and if I want something, I want it now. This is why I sometimes get annoyed working on our PC. It could be very slow most of the times. My sister said it needs memory upgrade.

This will be my next project. I needed a faster computer.

Weekend Cooking: Sambusa and Beefy Penne

Published by nice under Family, Food and Restos

Here’s for this week’s recipe. My sister cooked this last Sunday and we shared some of them with our neighbors. It’s an instant hit.

Sambusa is a recipe that we got from our Lebanese friend when were still in Riyadh. It’s a wonder how delicious it could be with only parsley and cheese as ingredient. Please feel free to try it out. :) Here’s the recipe.

Recover Lost Files

Published by nice under Andre Miguel, Technology

Our little boy is really fascinated with gadgets such as mobile phones and computers. He can spend a lot of time tinkering with our laptop. Most of the times I just let him but sometimes I’m afraid that he might accidentally delete important files, especially M0rn1ng’s sales data.

I’m glad that there is a way to Recover Deleted Files. The advice is to turn off the computer and stop using it to prevent overwriting the deleted data. Then call Flashback Data and ask for data recovery expert for help.

Of course, having a back up of important files would be helpful too. :)
