A Day Of Enjoyment

Yesterday some of my paternal cousins from Riyadh had come who are planning gonna go to India for good in some time for a last Umrah. Some more came in the evening from Jeddah to take them. And when they were going I too went with them. I had an enjoyable time. I watched a horror movie called Silent Hill, played on the PS2 and PSP and did some other stuff.

Today I am back at home. I have to do a nice amount of school work I had been delaying and so I will be busy today.

Startup Delayer

I have recently started using a new software called called Startup Delayer. It delays the apps that start when the computer boots meaning more important apps like antivirus can start start first and unessential ones likes messengers later giving resources directly to the important apps that start first. I have found it very useful as the computer seems to start faster and smoother beacuse of it.

You can download it from here.

KeepVid

I have recently started using a free webware called KeepVid used to download videos from multiple sites. Its fairly easy to use we just have copy the URL and paste it in the download address bar, click on download and then two links will come up asking whether you want a flash video file (flv) or MP4. Click on download this time and it starts.

It also has links for software for downloading a video downloader, video converter and a free FLV player. I have found this better than the Real Player 11 video download plugin as its easier to use and we can download in MP4 format also

Firefox 3 Beta 5

I have been following all versions of Firefox from 2.0.0.11 and have found the lates i.e. 3 Beta 5 to be the best. The previous beta versions had some problem with the Back button which for some reason sometimes did not work properly and all the RAM was sucked out from your PC but the latest version has it all fixed and I am completely using.

The only problem I have with it is I can use the Real Player Video Download Plug-in with it for which I have to use Firefox 2.

I don't exactly have the knowledge of the bugs and their fixes but a list of it all and the download is available at http://developer.mozilla.org/en/docs/Main_Page

The First Three Sucking Weeks of Tenth

I haven't written a post since a long time (although I never write regularly) mainly because its been very busy. It's just been three weeks since I came into tenth and already they are teaching like hell. The whole day goes waste if you don't take the learning and its very difficult for me to take a day off (a practice I followed without fail till I was in ninth).

From next time onwards I am thinking of writing posts based on the softwares I use as I am not able to write properly what I feel as advised by one of my most successful blogging cousin and moreover I can't write anything long as he can.
