If you're like me you probably use the Kindle app on your iPad for books instead of iBooks because books are cheaper! So why keep iBooks on your iPad? Because you can use it to view store PDFs! All those User Manuals you keep stored away for your digital camera, headphones, vacuum cleaner, lawnmower, or whatever are probably out on the Internet somewhere in a PDF format. When you find whatever manual you need (or whatever in PDF format) and open it just tap the screen one time to get a pop-up at the top of the screen that says "Open in 'iBooks"! You will notice there is also and option to "Open in..." which when selected gives you the option to open in your Kindle app and various other apps but iBooks just seems to work the best! Once you've opened the PDF in iBooks it will then stay there. Now instead of having to dig through file folders or a drawer full of user manuals you will have them all in one handy location.Padgettihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10796199754521325379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221116290907158887.post-48482046481524256372013-10-27T19:35:00.002-04:002013-10-27T19:37:17.029-04:00Halloween Pictures 2013 - Padgetti Yard Haunt<span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">Click </span><a href="https://www.facebook.com/media/set/?set=a.10100416758584718.1073741827.46710219&type=1&l=6a87595e54" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;">here</span></a><span style="font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;"> to go to my Halloween 2013 photo album!

Geocaching! I've posted my Geocaching.com profle thing over on the left of the page... it shows how many caches I've found and hidden. If you click on it and have a Geocaching.com account it will take to my profile, otherwise it can not be viewed. So what is geocaching?<br />

If you use iGoogle then you've probably already seen the note box above... Just when I was kind of getting used to using iGoogle they take it away! You can read more about it in the link below but unfortunately the alternatives Google gives us to iGoogle are just not the same! So check out this <a href="http://www.lifehacker.com.au/2012/07/two-excellent-customisable-start-pages-worth-trying-as-igoogle-replacements/" target="_blank">link </a>to a couple of iGoogle replacements! I've looked at both and they seem pretty good... just not sure which I will use yet! Let me know what you think!<br />

Please Note though that for some reason evertime Adobe Flash updates you will need to re-install it... I had found a work around that had seemed to work for a while then quit.... Anyway enjoy!<br />

People sometimes ask me what software is good for this or that... over the course of using computers over the past several years and being a Technology Specialist I have come across several that I like... Mostly the FREE ones!<br />
<br />
Currently while working on a friend's computer (which is where I'm writing from now while feeding her cat! lol) I installed and used a couple of the programs from Piriform. CCleaner does a great job of just cleaning up the computer; Defraggler seems to do a better job than the Windows default defragging program; Recuva does a good job of recovering deleted or corrupted files; and Speccy is just a simple program that will give you the Specifications of your computer. So check it out and let me know what you think!<br />

I started watching this after a friend suggested it. I originally didn't think I would like it and ended up watching almost the entire first season online in order to get caught up. And haven't missed an episode yet! I wish they would at least do a farewell episode or something!<br /><br /><br /><a href="http://tvseriesfinale.com/tv-show/brothers-sisters-no-season-six-19919/">Brothers & Sisters: Cancelled by ABC; No Season Six TV Series Finale</a>Padgettihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10796199754521325379noreply@blogger.com0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2221116290907158887.post-18928897130709797642011-05-06T18:52:00.003-04:002011-06-05T16:58:12.517-04:00It won’t stay dead: Microsoft's talking paper clip returns | TG DailySay it ain't so!

Padgetti.com has sat idle for several years except for the yearly Halloween update or the occasional re-decorating for the holidays. So I decided to convert to a blog... this should be interesting. I want to keep some of the original content from Padgetti.com but also start posting about things that I find interesting like Computers, Tech Gadgets, Star Trek, etc.Padgettihttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10796199754521325379noreply@blogger.com0
