Life In A Snapshot

In the corporate world, reports, presentations and proposals are always done to keep clients informed and updated. Since there is a need for the use of computers in the daily activities, most of the companies hire professional technicians and computer experts to upgrade their facilities and to keep these companies abreast with the latest software and programs.

Most of these programs are downloadable from the internet and are widely used, which is proven to be convenient and easy to use. One software is FreeMind, it is a high productivity tool that allows the user to create a mind map to suggest ideas, write essays or proposals and get things done. This is also best for creating organizational charts. Along with this is the Handbrake Video Transcoder, which can convert movies and videos into compatible formats, thus making presentations more engaging. Another open source software is the GIMP (short for GNU Image Manipulation Program). This tool will allow the user to modify the presentation of images or a certain element of that image. This is ideal for marketing materials like brochures, flyers and the like. For those in the accounting division, they use GNU Cash. It allows the users to track the company’s bank accounts, income, expense and even the stocks.

Even the most occupied person in the office too would somehow love to take a few minutes off, so there are music and videos downloaded via the YouTube Downloader even to their iPods, cellphones and MP3 devices.

All these surely will help improve the company’s productivity.

Summer time! Many mountaineers are now trekking to Mt. Apo – the country’s highest peak – with all their complete gears. I and Ace are thinking of joining his former officemates a year ago but we have so many things to consider so we backed out. First to consider is the body’s condition. It needs a lot of exercise to increase the stamina and since we are not physically active, for sure we would have a hard time climbing up the slopes. Another thing is the gears. We need a durable Mountainsmith Backpacks to carry our things. Aside from the backpacks, there are other things to prepare. The preparation alone would cost us a lot since it will be our first climb.

After a few years, maybe we conquer Mt. Apo. We need to condition our bodies first. Then our pockets.LOL.
