With a Single Flake of Snow

With a single flake of snow, winter begins.

Like that first faint shadow of twilight, we hardly take notice of it. Our lives begin with a single breath – and end with one final one. Spring begins with a single flower and fades into summer – and we hardly notice. Like our children who grew up right before our eyes, yet we hardly noticed until they left us to seek their own lives.

And all is as it should be.

A single flake of snow brings winter. The autumn leaves, glorious and majestic, catch our attention as we hurry through our lives. But that first flake of snow is the sentry of winter, and yet we pretend it is not. We go on about our lives relying on calendars and watches and all sorts of devices to keep track of seasons and time. Still, winter begins with a single flake of snow, whether the calendar agrees or not does not matter.

Calendars and watches are made by people. Snowflakes are not. Snowflakes have no need to know the time of date. The come and go as they will.

Today, a single flake of snow catches my eye. It is a dull, gloomy, and lifeless autumn afternoon. The air is chilly, but not particularly cold. My eyes follow a single snowflake as it wafts silently and slowly to the ground. My mind drifts back to another time – when the world was a gentler and simpler place.

I’m getting off the school bus. It’s the last day before Christmas vacation. I am nine years old. I am happy and running towards my little house

System Font Size Changer

Change Font Sizes With Ease In Windows 10 Creators Update and Windows 10 Fall Creators Update

Windows 10 Creators Update (version 1703) brought a lot of changes to Windows 10. One of the changes it brought was taking away our ability to (easily) change the font size for title bars, menus, message boxes, tooltips, palette title, and icon text. And the new Fall Creators Update, which is due to start rolling out next week (October 17, 2017), will keep most the changes Windows 10 Creators Update brought, a bring many new changes of its own. Fall Creators Update like Creators Update has no easy way for users to change font sizes.

If you’re using a very high screen resolution, you may find yourself straining to read the text in message boxes, title bars, etc. after updating to the Creators Update. And if you missed the Creators Update and you are moving to the Fall Creators Update soon, you'll be surprised. Don't be surprised, be ready!

Prior to the Windows 10 Creators Update (version 1703), you could easily change font sizes in Display settings.

Their are thousands of tips all over the web about editing the registry in order to bring back font size settings options in Windows 10 Creators Update. But editing the registry is not for everyone, plus it’s time consuming- not to mention you make a mistake it can cause big problems. And we don't like big problems, and we don't like messing with the registry unless there's no other way. We'll there is another way, and the other way is with this Cloudeight Freeware Pick, I tells ya.

If you have updated to the Creators Update and now find yourself with Windows display fonts that are uncomfortably small, this a very small (less than 50 KB) free program makes it very easy to change the size of the fonts for title bars, menus, message boxes, tooltips, palette title, and icon text. And if you prefer bold fonts, you can even make the fonts bold. System Font Size Changer works on Windows 10 Creators Update and on the new Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.  That's good news, because once Microsoft takes something away, they never give it back - just look at Outlook Express/Windows Mail.

 Our freeware pick is called System Font Size Changer. And we're here in advance of Windows 10 Fall Creators Update to tell you that it not only works great on the Windows 10 Creators Update -- it also works great on the Windows 10 Fall Creators Update.

And it's easy to download and use. All you have to do is download it and run it. It does not install. Just download, unzip and click the exe to run System Font Size Changer. Since it does not install, there are no worries about malicious stuff like PUPs, malware, bundles or other baddie-baddies.  And a really nice feature of System Font Size Changer is that when your first run it, the program offers to save your current settings – and we suggest you take advantage of that… just in case you get over zealous.

If you want an easy way to change the system font sizes on Windows 10 Creators Update (Version 1703) or Windows 10 Fall Creators Update (Version 1709), download System Font Size Changer from WinTools.

NOTE: If you have Windows Smartscreen filter activated, it may balk – Smartscreen isn’t always so smart, it often bases a program’s safety on its popularity – infrequently downloaded programs, or new programs seem to make Smartscreen lose its smarts. :-)

To Tell the Truth

Not many of us want to give out information to sites on the Web. We think by now, we're all a little gun shy when it comes to answering questions like:

"What was the name of your first school?"

"Where did you mean your spouse?"

"What was your first phone number?"

"In what city did you get married?"

"What model was your first car?"

"Where was your grandmother's maiden name?"

"Where was your father born?"

When you sign up for an online account sometimes the site will ask you security questions, that they can ask you down the road to prove the person logging in to the site is really you. It's really a good thing. It protects you. Not many hackers would know your grandmother's maiden name was Ramsey. Or that your father was born in Bleakmold, Kanas. So, if you have your user name and your password and the answer to your security question at the ready, you'll be able to log into your account.

But what happens is, there's always a part of us that doesn't want to give out this kind of information, so instead of saying grandmother's maiden name was Ramsey, you said it was Pocahontas. It's cute and clever, but what if a couple years from now you want to log into your bank account and bank asks you to answer your security question. Are you going to remember you fibbed and said her maiden name as Pocahontas? Nah. You won't remember. And if you don't remember you will go through a lot of hassle trying to get into your account.

So, our Back to Basics tip of the day is always tell the truth when setting up an account that asks you to set security questions. They are generally for your own good and they do a good job of keeping hackers with stolen passwords from accessing your account(s).

Keep in Mark Twain in mind when setting up your online accounts: "If you tell the truth, you don't have to remember anything." - Mark Twain
