I recently needed a little ribbon for the top corner of Globalpandora to spiff up the site a bit.
Usually I look around on Google Images for available images but was not able to locate exactly what I was after.
What I did find though was a nifty tool that generates ribbons in different colours, fonts, etc.
So thanks to QuickRibbon for a useful service.
Lately I have been working on improving my consultancy’s website towards a more showcase based look’n’feel. I had to post a photo of myself so I first decided to use my Gravatar image. As you can see below it looked a bit dull with square corners, so instead I changed the photo to round corners:
Indeed nicer, no? Gravatar should definitely offer rounded corners as an optional feature.
Thanks goes to RoundPic for providing an easy way of quickly rounding the corners of any photo or image.
I am always very cautious running executables, especially under Windows. Sometimes the antivirus software installed may report supposedly false positives leaving one in a limbo as what to do next, keep installing at risk or avoid the software supposedly reputable and safe.
The best thing is really to get a second opinion but installing a second antivirus software is time consuming and not feasible. The solution is to use an online malware scanner which uses different engines from several software providers that can shed some light on whether the file in question is really malware or simply a false positive from your installed antivirus software.
Two online scanners I use regularly are Virustotal and Jotti’s malware scan, both using several engines to compare against each other. I must admit Virustotal is more sleek and has multi language support, plus it provides extra information about the scanned files.
