Make Your Life Easier with AutoHotkey [Gearfire Productivity]
AutoHotkey is a basic scripting/programming language used to automate tasks on your Windows PC. This may sound intimidating to the average user, but it is probably the easiest scripting/programming languages to learn. On a very basic level, you can designate hotkeys to preform actions when that hotkey is pressed, but that just skims [...]
Recent Changes to Gearfire [Gearfire Productivity]
As you may or may not have noticed, we have implemented a new theme on Gearfire, and it is in the tweaking stage. The new theme is not 800×600 compatible, so it takes advantage of the extra space that a 1024×768 design offers. Sorry for the lack of posting over the last couple days, I [...]

I am happy to announce that Chris [...]

Regular posting will resume on June 12th, after exams. For now, I leave you with a round-up of our best [...]

As Gearfire grows older and more popular, or any other blog for that matter, it will receive more comment spam. The last couple of days we have been receiving upwards of 100 spam comments. I am usually tempted to sift through them, because I often find 1-2 legit comments per batch that were falsely marked [...]
