[Computer Help] Rainmeter for windows 7/8/8.1/10

Rainmeter is a desktop enchancement tool for Windows very similar to to GeekTool on Mac. It enables a stunning visual display to be placed over the windows desktop with relative ease and a plethora of premade themes and skins. Rainmeter can be downloaded from the official Rainmeter website. Here is a simple 5 step guide for a complete install and setup of rainmeter.

Step 1) Choose a snazzy desktop wall paper for your rainmeter skins to be placed upon. This wallpaper can be anything you want it to be but for this tutorial I am going to be using this image that i found on reddit.





Step 2) Download rainmeter at the official rainmeter website and install it by double clicking the executable once downloaded. This will install rainmeter on to your PC and then it should be opened from the start menu so we can continue this tutorial.

Step 3) Download some Rainmeter skins or themes for use on your desktop. The skins you are looking for can be found at these websites [RainmeterHub, Customize.org, The Rainmeter forums]. Once you have finished downloading the skins that you want to used you should load them into rainmeter by doing the following. If the downloaded file is a .rmskin file you should just open it and it will be installed to rainmeter automatically. If however the file is a compressed file you should decompress it to find the .rmskin file and use that instead.

Step 4) Load skins by finding them in the rainmeter GUI and double clicking them to load them.

Once you have loaded the skin it will appear in random position on your desktop. You can load multiple skins very easily and they can be unloaded by double clicking them again. A loaded skin will appear like this.

 Step 5) Once you have loaded skins you may choose to position them in a configuration that you find easy to use or in a configuration that nicely lines up with your wallpaper. Some skins require configuration but the instructions for configuring them will be with the skin or on the page from which they were downloaded.

Here is my finished configuration! Feel free to comment yours.

Mr Robot [S1E2] Review

Previous Episode Review :  http://techeract.blogspot.co.uk/2015/12/mr-robot-s1e1-review.html

Plot : After the cliff-hanger at the end of the pilot episode we are instantly greeted by the answer that we have been waiting for. E-corp offers Elliot a job in their cyber security division which he declines as he says "I think i'm happy where I am". Mr Robot then approaches Elliot about destroying "Steel Mountain" a massive data centre where E-corp backs up their data. However Elliot decides he doesn't want to follow this plan and develops his own plan.

Review : I find the way that Elliot talks to the viewer extremely unique despite being much like the way Frank Underwood addresses the viewer in house of cards. I also find the way that he took care of the dog in episode 1 extremely altruistic despite it using his bed as a toilet. I think that Shayla's supplier is probably going to be dangerous towards Elliot later.

Mr Robot [S1E1] Review

After watching the first episode of Amazon prime's Mr Robot i have been left with a large amount of anticipation for when I watch the next episode.

Plot : Mr robot is a crime drama set in NYC and features a young hacker called Elliot who is approached by an anarchist called Mr Robot. In this episode we learned that Elliot is a programmer working at a cyber security firm who uses both social engineering and hacking to keep the people around him safe and happy. After the firm he works at is hacked he is approached by the hacker, Mr Robot. Mr Robot then informs Elliot of his master plan...

Review : The role of Elliot is executed beautifully by the extremely talented Rami Malek who presents Elliot in a way that makes the character feel genuine and real. The show perfectly steers clear of Holywood style hacking cliches that are tiring and unrealistic and instead uses accurate depictions rendered by using data from Anonymous. This is a fantastic show and I am extremely looking forward to seeing the next installment.

What is even happening here?

As I started this new blog I found myself pondering "what is even happening here?" and within a mad scurry for purpose I decided that the "not much at all" I will be posting will be consisting of "nothing inparticular". Despite the lack of direction, I will be posting about what interests me online and in the world around me. So without further ado good luck, have fun.
