The purpose of this site
The main focus of this site is the IT Resource. Here you will find various guides, tutorials and explanations for a plethora of computer-related topics. These guides typically start quite light and then get more and more in-depth. So it's up to you - the reader - to decide how far you want to go. If you absorb all the information I have to offer here, you will be well on your way to becoming a computer guru.
Topics covered include, for example, PC system architecture (with discussions
of various components such as the motherboard,
CPU,
memory
and bus), an introduction
to binary and hex,
and much more.
In particular, make sure you check out the networking section. I developed this section when I found a total lack of coherent networking articles on the Internet. This was especially true of material relating to TCP/IP. I now find this section to be one of the most popular areas of JTG and I receive many emails of commendation for it. Thanks to all who take the time to offer their comments, constructive criticisms and praise.

Joke of the day Anyone heard any good jokes lately? If so, let's see if we can manage a joke of the day thread?
Here's a great one I read today...
Elmo joke
A factory in America makes Tickle Me Elmo toys and the toy laughs when
you tickle it under the arm. A new employee is hired and she reports
for her first day promptly at 8:00. The next day at 8:45 there is a
knock at the Personnel Manager's door and the foreman from the
assembly line throws open the door and begins to rant about the new
employee. He complains that she is incredibly slow and the whole
assembly line is backing up fast. The Personnel manager decides to
see this for himself so the 2 men march down to the factory floor.
When they get there the assembly line is so backed up that there are
Tickle Me Elmo's all over the factory floor. At the end of the line is
the new employee surrounded by mountains of Tickle Me Elmo's. She has
a roll of plush red fabric and a huge bag of small marbles. The 2 men
watch in amazement as she cuts a little piece of fabric, wraps it
around two marbles and begins to carefully sew the little package
between Elmo's legs. The Personnel manager bursts into laughter. After
several minutes of hysterics he pulls himself together and approaches
the woman. 'I'm sorry,' he says to her, barely able to keep a straight
face, 'but I think you misunderstood the instructions I gave you
yesterday. "Your job is to give Elmo two test tickles ."
Cannot Read Cd Contents In New Dvd-rom Driveshi all,
My new DVD-ROM (ASUS) and DVD-RW (Plextor 755A) can't read some CDs I've created with my old PC. The CDs are readable on my PC and on my dad's as well.
any ideas of what causes this?
Nero v7 is installed in case that's the problem
What internet security should I get? Bearing in mind we're talking about a not too technical home user, who doesn't download too much nor installs lots of software.
News and Changes
Site redesign
Finally, JTGv3 is here. I have been aware for some time that JTGv2 was looking dated and the navigation (while looking good) was clunky. Well, I've been putting it off as this is a big site and redesigning would require changes to a lot of pages. Well, I finally got off my lazy butt and did it. I hope you like it.
VBScript Tutorials
Check out the new section on scripting with VBScript and the Windows Script Host (WSH). I've added a number of articles, including a discussion on how to manipulate XML using VBScript. The latest VBScript article looks at manipulating databases through ADO.
Hacking WSFTP
Ever wanted to back up or move your WS-FTP accounts? Can't find out where the accounts are stored? Have you forgotten the passwords to your FTP accounts? Check out my WS-FTP Account Decrypter page for the solution to your problems.
Tutorials in the Forum
We now have a Tutorials section in the Forum. It hasn't been around for long, but we've already had several contributions. Mortis2000 is busy writing Photoshop tutorials, and various other contributors are posting useful Windows XP Know-How tips.
Features and articles
I've recently overhauled the Dual Booting article to include a description of how to dual boot Windows and Linux. Moreover, this article will tell you how you can switch to use the Windows Boot Loader as your primary loader, in preference to LILO or GRUB.
The recent article I wrote about JPG, GIF and PNG files has sparked lots of interest. I've improved the article and added some additional information about bitmaps, by popular demand!
Downloads
WCPUID, Motherboard Monitor and File Zapper still prove to be our most popular Downloads. But we also have several new additions, such as the FastStone 4in1 Browser (which also plays the roles of web server, FTP client and image viewer), AutoIt (for automating tedious tasks), and IDServe (so that you can find out about a server you're talking to over the Internet).
Just for Fun
The big secret is out. Get your hands on the Windows 98 source code here!
And finally...
People have finally cottoned on that PC questions go in the Forum, and not in my inbox! Well done, and keep up the good work.
