How to make your windows machine a virtual router (Hotspot) with command prompt in windows.

    One thing you should keep in mind is, we are not installing any software! We are using the windows command prompt which is integrated in every windows machine.
Step one

Open windows Command prompt with administrative privilege. That is by right clicking on the command prompt icon and clicking “run as Administrator”. 

Step two

Enter the following lines of command! Not exactly because you have to change the SSID(service set identifier) and password to suit your taste.

Setting the SSID
  • Netsh wlan set hostednetwork ssid=ICTmagazine
    NB: I choose to use ICTmagazine as my SSID(network name or identifier) you have choice to use any reasonable String characters(Number and Alphabets). Press “enter” you will have a success message “The SSID of the hosted network has been changed successfully”.
Setting the password
  • Netsh wlan set hostednetwork key=12345678
    NB: You can use any password ranging from 8 to reasonable length. Press “enter” you will have another success message “The user key passphrase of the hosted network has been changed successfully”.
Allowing the network to work
  • Netsh wlan set hostednetwork mode=allow Press “enter” you will have another success message “ hosted network mode has been set to allow”.
Starting the Virtual hotspot
  • Netsh wlan start hostednetwork Press “enter” you will have another success message “The hosted network started ”.
Terminating/Stopping
  • netsh wlan stop hostednetwork Press “enter” you will have another success message “The hosted network stopped”

    Your screen will look exactly like mine, but mind you without the ICTmagazine stuffs "laffs"

Microsoft Office for Tablet now on Google Play store

Back in November, Microsoft opened up early previews builds for its new mobile Office applications for Android tablets to those willing to sign up and wait for an invitation. After taking on feedback over the past couple of months, Microsoft has announced that it is expanding its preview scheme by releasing its Office applications to everyone directly through the Google Play Store. The new Office software for mobile unifies Android, IOS, and Windows platforms. Previously each platform had to make do with its own apps, meaning that feature sets differed depending on your operating system and updates were often slow and intermittent. By unifying the Office platform, Microsoft hopes to bring updates and new features to users in a timelier manner. There are still a couple of conditions attached to the preview builds though. Firstly, Office is still limited to ARM-based Android tablets with a screen size between 7 and 10.1 inches. Your tablet will also need to be running Ki...

Powerful words from Steve Jobs on his sick bed

Powerful message. Steve Jobs’ Last Words - I reached the pinnacle of success in the business world. In others’ eyes, my life is an epitome of success. However, aside from work, I have little joy. In the end, wealth is only a fact of life that I am accustomed to. At this moment, lying on the sick bed and recalling my whole life, I realize that all the recognition and wealth that I took so much pride in, have paled and become meaningless in the face of impending death. In the darkness, I look at the green lights from the life supporting machines and hear the humming mechanical sounds, I can feel the breath of god of death drawing closer… Now I know, when we have accumulated sufficient wealth to last our lifetime, we should pursue other matters that are unrelated to wealth… Should be something that is more important: Perhaps relationships, perhaps art, perhaps a dream from younger days ... Non-stop pursuing of wealth will only turn a person into a twisted being, just l...

Turn your Word doc into a PDF with a live table of contents

A long report needs to be broken up into sections. Readers will want shortcuts to the chapters that most interest them. So, if you’re distributing your reports as PDFs, you’ll want live tables of contents in which readers can easily go to the chapters they want to read. Fortunately, this is easy to do in Word 2010 or 2013 (I haven’t tested this in earlier versions). First of all, you need to set up your document properly. Use Word’s outline styles— Heading 1, Heading 2 , and so on—to organize your report. For instance, you might want to assign large section titles as Heading 1, chapter titles as Heading 2, sub-chapters as Heading 3, and so on. By the way, using these headings has other advantages. You can select View>Outline and work on your document as a collapsible outline. Also, the left tab of the Navigation pane uses these styles. But back to the table of contents. When you’re ready to distribute your document, select the References tab and click...
