What do you think about my blog?

Most of you probably know, that as you download more stuffs you will use up more disk space on your computer. Eventually you’ll reach a point that your hard drive is full. In this case you need to free up some space. Here is some tips I found to be useful. A little notes about these tips. General tips is tips that applies to other operating systems, and Windows only tips will only apply to Windows, or there are different tips available for other operating systems. General tips Delete old files – Yes, we got a lot of files, some are over a year old. Delete them if you don’t want to keep them. Common types of files to delete are games, iso files, movies and songs. Don’t watch that Plannet Earth movie anymore? Or don’t play Super Mario 64 anymore? Or don’t want to listen to some songs? Or don’t plan to re-burn that new Windows 7 with SP1 you’ve got? Delete them all; especially movies! They’re disk space hog! Game files can also consume lots of disk space. Especially if you play a game on an emulators like Nintendo 64 emulators and DS emulators. Deleting old savefiles, savestates and cheat files can also help, but most likely these are just a few hundred kilobytes. For instance, your old Super Mario 64 savefiles that you played up to like 70-80 stars may be just 500-600KB, and your Pokemon Diamond/Pearl/Platinum savefiles/savestates may be just 400-500KB. Alternatively, uninstall the emulator if you can. Nintendo 64 emulators aren’t stable and crash often. If you plan to play Super Mario 64 again, use a DS version instead. Remove old documents will also help, but it’s worthless. For example your school work from year 7 that had tens of pages may only eat up 30-100KB, or your old art homeworks, done nicely with Photoshop may only eat up 100-200KB. Remove programs – Yes, we’ve got many media players to play certain media files. But we don’t need all of them. For instance you may have Potplayer, KMPlayer, VLC and Quicktime installed, but you may need only Potplayer and KMPlayer, or another combination. Remove them will free up some disk space. Adobe products like Photoshop and Adobe Reader also eats up disk space, so it’s safe to remove them. Old cracked programs that you have that are useless are good choices to remove. Windows only tips Use Disk Cleanup – No, it won’t kill your PC. It won’t make you have to restart doing stuffs over, it’s just removing temp files. Go to start then go to All Programs, then Accessories, then System Tools, and find Disk Cleanup. Select your drive and click OK or press Enter. Select the item you want to clean. Be careful here, because if you installed a service pack you don’t want to remove old backup files in case you have to uninstall the service pack. Once you got your choices, hit delete files button. That’s pretty much it of what I know.

Here is some facts about internet forums. Note these are just my guest and knowledge, and they may be inaccurate.

During the early days of the internet(early 1990s), there were few or no internet forums. People at that time used bulletin board systems. Internet forum started to appear during the late 1990s, when most computers at that time has colored display with a better connection speed. But at that time still there were few. Internet forum really started to boom when VBulletin, a commercial forum software and PHPBB, an open-source forum software appeared in 2000. By that time computers had improved graphics and connection speed. Since then, new forum software started to appear starting with XMB, later DevBB, and now MyBB. Then SMF came on to the scene with it’s first appearance in 2003, and so-on.

Later, when mobile phones begun to boom, forum software developers had begun to made their software work on mobile devices. And mobile phones continued to boom until today, and more forum software developers are making their software work with mobile users.

Today, internet forums had changed a lot since it’s first appearance, because computers today have good graphics, good connection speed and a good web browser. There are now over 10 different forum package to choose from, much greater than last 10 years. Also most forum software now has a much better theming system than before. Most forum software now has a modification/plugin system, which is a great way to enhance the forum software.

The internet forum will probably change a lot within the next 10 years, since the internet is changing fast. And yet, as mobile devices continues to boom, more and more forum software will work with mobile users, and maybe one day, the industry will have made a complete transition from computers to mobile devices. Also as technology continues to improve, I guest later on forum software may be able to interact with the computers/mobile devices, mostly through the use of flash since they’re more interactive than normal HTML, but this may change within the next 10 years.
