Easy Search

2009-09-17T15:35:00.000-07:00

I have loads of work related document that i have to look through in order to get the data i need

its all organized in folders as neat as possible but it still takes a couple of minutes to get to the file i need.

I tried the search option which is pretty slow...

so i went around looking for a solution.

Everything - DOWNLOAD

Everything is an Enhanced Search Engine with search as you type capabilities,

comes real handy when you know just part of the file name,

Website : http://www.voidtools.com/

Small installation file
Clean and simple user interface
Quick file indexing
Quick searching
Minimal resource usage
Share files with others easily
Real-time updating

Some issues i had with Everything was bringing it up with hotkeys, I wanted the WIN + F to bring up the application.

However since its already taken by the lame search engine. I choose Win + S (s for search) which is also pretty convenient.

This application is a must have...

also can be used to manage a Music Library

Some Must have add-ons for firefox..

2007-12-20T13:49:00.001-08:00

Here is something I had trouble with initially.
Choosing the right add on for your browser.
well here are some must have add ons i personally use.

ScribeFire :

This is an amazing add on for bloggers,
you can update your blog directly online. By opening a small window under firefox
Whole lot of options to play with.

Download

IE Lite :

some Microsoft pages you would require IE to view them and its such a pain to switch between browsers i.e Firefox and Internet Explorer just for one damn website ....

Well for all Elite who prefer using Firefox over Internet explorer
what you need is an add on for Firefox

This is a cut down version of IE View by Paul Roub, which is 47.4 KB. All the same UI and features are there. It has a right click menu item to open a page in IE and a list of sites to always open in IE. It can close tabs automatically and send additional parameters to the executable. Everything's just been rebuilt from the ground up to be smaller and more efficient.

Download

FasterFox :

Performance and network tweaks for Firefox.

Faster fox allows you to tweak many network and rendering settings such
as simultaneous connections, pipelining, cache, DNS cache, and initial
paint delay.

Dynamic speed increases can be obtained with the unique prefetching
mechanism, which recycles idle bandwidth by silently loading and
caching all of the links on the page you are browsing.

A pop up blocker for pop ups initiated by Flash plug-ins is also included.

Download

ADblock Plus :

Ever been annoyed by all those ads and banners on the internet that
often take longer to download than everything else on the page? Install
Adblock Plus now and get rid of them.

I personally think this is one of the best add ons ever. no more adds on torrent websites... lol

Download

Flashgot :

Ever wished you could just download files directly to applications like bitcomet instead of normally downloading and opening the file.
well here is an extension that works really well

Download one link, selected links or all the links of a page together
at the maximum speed with a single click, using the most popular,
lightweight and reliable external download managers. Supported download
tools are dozens, see http://flashgot.net for details. This extension
offers also a Build Gallery functionality which helps to collect in a
single page serial movies and images scattered on several pages, for
easy and fast "download all".

Foxmarks Bookmarks Synchronizer :

another must have application. espically for people who use different computers at home and work..
makes your bookmarks available on all computer by managing your bookmarks ...

Play Games in Small Screen

2007-12-18T08:22:00.000-08:00

Wanna Play Games in Small Screen to avoid being caught in office or school...
Here some tricks you can try out..

Most of the games can be played in windowed mode. however some Microsoft games are not designed that way.
Try this........................

Place a shortcut of the game on your desktop.

Then...
Right Click on the shortcut and click on properties.
Now you will be on the shortcut tab.
Which will probably look like

Now in the Target after the Location of the Game just ADD
-w after the apostrophe with a space in between
for Eg.
"C:\game\Game1.exe" -w
and that should start the game in windowed mode.

Thats one way of starting the game in windowed mode

or you can also try using Alt + Enter combination works on some games.

But the best tool i found so far was the D3dwindower.

Now this is an Japanese program . you wont understand any of the Options
However i will show how i managed to play Age of mythology on the internet.

First of all you will need the program.
download link : D3D Windower
its in rar format you will require something like winrar.

extract all the files in one folder and run this particular program.
D3DWindower-English.exe
you will get a windows which looks something like this

and now comes the hard part

Click on the Plus sign and add the particular game you wanna play in windowed mode.

Once you have the program listed in .
try to start it by click on the Computer icon
*** third icon from the Right ***

If the game doesn't start
close application and try again ..
it should work.

and yeah for age of mythology you will have to go to options page
***second option from the right***
( the folder icon with tools on it )

its should look something like this.

Make sure all the option are checked in that window only for " WINDOW MODE " Tab. as illustrated above

and to start the game click on the name of the game on the list and then click on the computer icon ( third from the right )
and it should start the game in windowed mode.

you might feel a lil bet of missed accuracy with the mouse.
currently trying to find a fix for it .
email me or leave a post.

Enjoy
