Techy Wizard

In the download section, I am making a few tar packages to make Ubuntu making it easy to install and use.
this will have all of the newest stuff that is not in the packages
Scripts and Debsto get these individually for the .desktop files make sure to right click and save link as
Ubuntu then will prompt you if it is trusted or not click trusted then they should run the automatic scripts


To get the tar file go here, these will be updated as i add more to the file list
ScriptsnDebsV1.0
Scripts N debs versions 1.0 get it now make your experience for ubuntu easier, less command line less of the time.

Alright down to the basics, if you want to block all your ports get mobloquer
combined with moblock. Mobloquer is a graphical ui for moblock. Moblock is a simplistic
ipblocker. On the other hoand if you get iplist wich is a very handy program, it calls itself
ipblocker when you go into your ubuntu start menu, and goto internet. It is very
much like peerguardian you can add lists, its easy to use and you can just update
it as you would with peerguardian. It is themeable as well as easy to use, i
recommend it over moblock every time.

Number one for linux is iplist

IP list

Get it here
Iplist
this is the source lists you will need to use it with synaptic or you can get the deb file

Get it here:



Iplist.deb
either way you can download it.

1. Assess the problem
2. Look up the error, usually it has a log file, or displays it on the screen, either read it in a text editor
notepad will do, leafpad in ubuntu.
3. Copy the error log and type it or paste into google or goto a manufacturers page, or microsoft, or goto the ubuntu
community forums, ubuntu geek or any site that helps with technical issues..

4. Step by step follow a instructional manual, only deviate if your problem is slightly different from someone
elses. Also if you have a problem that is a serious issue, with partitioning or other serious things consult a
manual online on how partitioning works. If you have problems with drivers research wich ones you need
5. REad READ READ READ..
6. Make sure to read.
:P there will be more on this later.

Doctor Oz
Scott the piano guy
On the tv show there is a new cure for hearing loss thats like a hearing aide but fits inside your ears
look on his site for invisible extendable hearing aids

Also Scott the piano guy teaches you the complexities of piano but breaks it down into simple cords and routines, he teaches you the bare bones way to approach and learn any complicated routine
taking just one part at a time and it allows you to learn at a much more rapid pace.

Window Management Shortcuts

One of the best changes in Windows 7 is the ability to "snap" windows to the side of the screen, maximize them by dragging to the top of the screen, or even move them to another monitor with a shortcut key. Check out the video for a demonstration of how some of the keys work.

The full list of keyboard shortcuts includes:

* Win+Home: Clear all but the active window.
* Win+Space: All windows become transparent so you can see through to the desktop.
* Win+Up arrow: Maximize the active window.
* Shift+Win+Up arrow: Maximize the active window vertically.
* Win+Down arrow: Minimize the window/Restore the window if it's maximized.
* Win+Left/Right arrows: Dock the window to each side of the monitor.
* Shift+Win+Left/Right arrows: Move the window to the monitor on the left or right.

You can also interact with windows by dragging them with the mouse:

* Drag window to the top: Maximize
* Drag window left/right: Dock the window to fill half of the screen.
* Shake window back/forth: Minimize everything but the current window.
* Double-Click Top Window Border (edge): Maximize window vertically.


Taskbar Shortcuts

In Windows 7, using the Windows key along with the numbers 1-9 will let you interact with the applications pinned to the taskbar in those positions – for example, the Windows key + 4 combination would launch Outlook in this example, or Win+Alt+4 can be used to get quick access to the Outlook Jump List from the keyboard.

You can use any of these shortcut combinations to launch the applications in their respective position on the taskbar, or more:

* Win+number (1-9): Starts the application pinned to the taskbar in that position, or switches to that program.
* Shift+Win+number (1-9): Starts a new instance of the application pinned to the taskbar in that position.
* Ctrl+Win+number (1-9): Cycles through open windows for the application pinned to the taskbar in that position.
* Alt+Win+number (1-9): Opens the Jump List for the application pinned to the taskbar.
* Win+T: Focus and scroll through items on the taskbar.
* Win+B: Focuses the System Tray icons


In addition, you can interact with the taskbar using your mouse and a modifier key:

* Shift+Click on a taskbar button: Open a program or quickly open another instance of a program.
* Ctrl+Shift+Click on a taskbar button: Open a program as an administrator.
* Shift+Right-click on a taskbar button: Show the window menu for the program (like XP does).
* Shift+Right-click on a grouped taskbar button: Show the window menu for the group.
* Ctrl+Click on a grouped taskbar button: Cycle through the windows of the group.

More Useful Hotkeys You Should Know

The new hotkey goodness didn't stop with the taskbar and moving windows around—one of the best new hotkeys in Windows 7 is the fact that you can create a new folder with a hotkey. Just open up any Windows Explorer window, hit the Ctrl+Shift+N shortcut key sequence, and you'll be rewarded with a shiny "New Folder" ready for you to rename.

Here's a few more interesting hotkeys for you:

* Ctrl+Shift+N: Creates a new folder in Windows Explorer.
* Alt+Up: Goes up a folder level in Windows Explorer.
* Alt+P: Toggles the preview pane in Windows Explorer.
* Shift+Right-Click on a file: Adds Copy as Path, which copies the path of a file to the clipboard.
* Shift+Right-Click on a file: Adds extra hidden items to the Send To menu.
* Shift+Right-Click on a folder: Adds Command Prompt Here, which lets you easily open a command prompt in that folder.
* Win+P: Adjust presentation settings for your display.
* Win+(+/-): Zoom in/out.
* Win+G: Cycle between the Windows Gadgets on your screen.
