Compact Folding Ladder for Home Use

A few weeks ago we told you about a telescoping ladder that can even reach to your roof. Another type of ladder that’s annoying when it comes to stowing it in your home is the classic folding ladder. With this type as well, designers have been very creative recently, developing models that can even fit in the corner of your closet if space is really tight.

Free Remote PC Support for Your Relatives – Netviewer

Netviewer Free Remote PC Support Software A few months ago, we posted an article on ShowMyPC, a free software package that helps you to control someone else’s PC remotely from your own chair at home. Ideal for helping relatives and friends when they're stuck with their computer. But when I’d been using ShowMyPC for some time, I noticed that it didn’t work in every situation. When either myself or the other person was working from behind a strict company firewall, connection wasn’t possible. In that kind of situation, Netviewer Support can help out.

Telescoping Ladder now Extends to 15.5 Feet

I love telescoping ladders. They’re extremely compact and easy to stow compared to the classical alternatives that always get in the way in your basement or garage. Those are really difficult to handle when you need them around the house – or worse, elsewhere. The telescopic alternatives, however, often weren’t up to the “serious” tasks on your roof or drainpipe. But now the new models reach up to 15.5 ft!

tesa Insect Stop – Adhesive Fly Screen for Use in Holiday or Rented Home

We’ve written several articles already on mosquito repellents and how to stop mosquito bites from itching. Better still is to keep mosquitoes and other annoying insects out of your home, a fly screen being the best solution to achieve this.

Now tesa has a solution for you with the adhesive “Insect Stop” and its Easy On / Easy Off feature.

ShowMyPC – Give Your Relatives Remote PC Support, No Need for Technical Knowledge

ShowMyPC is a free remote support software that allows you to take over their computer remotely, even when it’s behind a (wireless) home router. And you don’t need to have a degree in computer science to get it up and running.

Racor Gravity Bike Rack – Organize Your Garage

Bikes are a nuisance in the garage. They always take up too much space, making it hard to park your car or to open your car door to get in or out of your vehicle. The obvious garage-organizing solution is to store them vertically by hanging them on the wall. Many space-saving bike racks are around, but most require you to drill holes, and once mounted, you can’t easily move them to another place in the garage when required. The Racor Pro PLB-2R Gravity Bike Stand might be your solution - no bolts required.

Enjoy Your MP3 Music on Your Factory Car Stereo – Without Static

Once you get used to the comfort of an iPod, iPhone or other MP3 player, having your whole music collection at your fingertips, the next thing you obviously want is to be able to connect this to your car stereo and enjoy the same flexibility when driving. New car stereos are often equipped with an AUX input or even with an integrated iPod docking station. When you’ve got a more basic or older car stereo, there’s generally no direct means of connecting your MP3 player. In that case you have to revert to the well-known FM transmitters and live with the interference of neighboring FM radio stations – unless you go for the Scosche FMMOD02 FM modulator.
