Computer Pages

Here is a list of the programs you need to clean and protect your computer from viruses, trojans and worms! Follow the links to fuller descriptions or amke a request for information on the forums here: http://www.healthwealthandmusic.co.uk/. If you know about downloading and installing programs you will probably be able to remove all the junk files you have downloaded without any further help.

You can get most of the programs you need for free - and yes, they do as good a job as the commercial programs. Please make a donation to the freeware author to keep his or her spirits up!

In all cases make sure you download the program updates before you use the program, otherwise it might not clean your system properly.

Wiki on a Stick (WoaS) is an Open Source web application that runs completely in your browser- you don't even need an internet connection as it is all local. It consists of a large file with xhtml, css and JavaScript all embedded into it. It contains all the functionality to create, edit and maintain a wiki of multiple cross linked pages with all the formatting options available to webpages, including custom css and embedded graphic images.

If you are looking for an easy to use, portable way of documenting your work that can be moved easily between computers this is an excellent tool, at an unbeatable price (it's totally free). Why Use WoaS? For a developer, WoaS can be used for several different tasks, but these two are the principal ones.

 1. Managing a ToDo List
 2. Building Project or Company Wisdom 

Wisdom is documenting anything relevant to the task, project or even the company.

When I first started using Dokuwiki I had a lot of problems understanding the working environment and the unfamiliar underlying concepts such as “namespace” and even “wiki”. None of it makes sense to a non programmer. The namespace concept and the way documents are stored in wikis and the lack of navigation are particularly disconcerting and probably off-putting. I always have to translate the latest jargon back into plain old English so I can understand it. Here is what I worked out so far. I hope this beginners guide helps anyone new to get started.

I'm assuming you know how to unzip and upload files and all that and you just want to get on and install and use the program.

It is always interesting to see what your neighbours are up to. Remember that you can use Google to translate a page - http://www.google.com/translate_t or http://babelfish.altavista.com/ - which seems to be even better.
