每週一次，我們都會把讀者的郵袋倒出來，和你分享一些方便的讀者提示。本週我們將透過點選快速調整windows的大小，更改windows中的預設下載目錄，以及一些DIY咖啡烘焙技巧。

使用sizer快速調整視窗大小

卡爾佩什在信中提到了兩條妙招，而不是一條。當您想快速調整視窗大小以設定大小時，第一種方法很有用：

The biggest problem with 1920×1080 monitors is working on two webpage (or any other narrow items) side by side. Windows Aero helps lot but 90% of sites are best viewable in width of 1041 pixels. I found this great app called Sizer;  it allows users to resize any window to the desired resolution in two clicks. It helps a lot when using Explorer (the file browser) and viewing webpages side by side. Here is the link. It’s only 16kb in size!

我們帶著Sizer轉了一圈。它很小，能如約交貨。執行應用程式，任何時候你右擊應用程式視窗的右下角，你都會看到一個類似於上面截圖中的選單。它附帶這三個值作為預設值，但您可以右鍵單擊Sizer的系統托盤圖示，編輯大小，刪除它們，然後新增新的大小。

更改下載資料夾的預設位置

下面是卡爾佩什的第二個建議：

I don’t like manually changing my default download location for the different web browsers and download managers I use. Some allow you to change the default, some don’t, and others periodically forget. I searched out a registry value for the default download location and changed that to great success. Here’s how you do it:

Open your registry editor (go to the run box and type regedit) then navigate to this registry entry: “Computer\HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\User Shell Folders” Look for the entry which has a value of “%USERPROFILE%\Downloads” and change the value to your location. In my case I changed it to “D:\Downloads”. Now you don’t have to worry about programs not remembering your alternate download location as the default value is where you want your files.

謝謝你的一對二特別Kalpesh；這兩個技巧都很有用。

自學家庭燒烤

阿尼爾寫了一些咖啡烘焙技巧：

I saw your DIY coffee roasting article earlier today. Nice to see a coffee article on the HTG, I’m sure we all drink a lot of it! Geek pride and all. Anyways, I thought it might be helpful to fellow readers if they got a little extra info about roasting their own coffee. It’s not hard but a little extra knowledge goes a long way towards not ruining perfectly good coffee beans. Sweet Maria’s is a stop for many home roasters to get green beans (in fact the photos in that Craft article you shared about DIY roasting have a few bags of Sweet Maria’s coffee sitting around )they also have a home roasting guide. It has more than enough information to help people get started roasting. They also have a coffee library full of interesting articles about coffee. I also found it really helpful to check out roasting “color” charts when I first got started like this one, this one, and this one (if you want a super detailed guide there’s one with a video in the Sweet Maria’s library). Since the only coffee I’d seen before trying to roast my own had all seemed uniformly brown it really helped to see what the different roast stages looked like.

很有見地，阿尼爾。當我們在HTG辦公室進行一些DIY烘焙時，我們肯定會重新訪問這些資源。
