May 31st

Posted by indigoanalysis in For You

View Comments

The summer heat and the holidays make life boring. The WWW has some fun places buried deep that feature the popular culture and other interesting stuff. It makes passing time much easier. Here I’ve compiled a list of the world’s most engrossing places on the web that can help to while away time like there was none.

Popurls

A huge live list of the best stories around the world. Gets the data from famous social bookmarking websites and the best blogs.

One place for popular links.

Jimmyr

A home made version of popurls started by Jimmy Ruska.

Digg

The most popular social bookmarking website with loads of stuff to discover. Digg introducing some new social features, a sneak peek in the following video:

Cracked

Funny starts here. These people know what’s funny and what’s not. The most experienced humor website on the planet. Must see the funny lists and videos.

Icanhasinternets

No one other than the author of this website knows what the name means. But, its pretty funny to just read it. You’ll wonder where these people get som much LMAO stuff to post daily. Just click the randomizer button on the right pane and have fun.

Funny Or Die

Another Cracked.com styled website. It features loads of original funny videos. Famous for parodies of literally anything in this damned world. Updated daily.

OMGPOP

Play higly addictive multiplayer games here. Even if your despise online flash gaming, its a must chek out (Apparently you are searching for something to pass your time with so no other go. Go to OMGPOP now). Must play Missile command now.

Addictive multiplayers, fast load times, slick OS kind of interface, real players, Facebook integration.

Kongregate

A place where you find the cream of flash games from around the world. You’ll end up spending hours on this website. Some of the games you must try for sure are indestruc2tank, continuity, tower defense games, robot wants puppy, red remover, stacker series, filler and many more. Sign up and level up.

Addictive flash multiplayers, best flash games around, leveling up system, neat design. Nothing more you could ask of a flash games website.

That was the first part. I don’t keep drafting stuff and adding more and more to it before publishing. One sitting should convert at least to one post for me. We’ll see another such list pretty soon before you are done with this one.

Chromium contrast problem – Ubuntu

May 31st

Posted by indigoanalysis in linux

Most of the monitors have a poor contrast with light shades of grey and whites. It gets irritating when you have to find the scrollbar while going through long pages in Chromium browser for Ubuntu. The scrollbar looks something like this before and after the fix.

After

Using Gnome color chooser doesn’t change it in Chromium. The Google Chrome extension specifically for Ubuntu Chromium users helps rectify this problem. Though a lot of incompatibility and crashes are reported in the comments, I had incompatibility wit some sites but no crashes yet. [EXTENTION]

This makes the scrollbar blue like the blue clear looks style. The vivid blue on grey makes spotting it easy on long pages also.

Discover Music – 22 handpicked tracks

May 22nd

Posted by indigoanalysis in Music

View Comments

I hate people coming to me and gasping about the fact that I didn’t listen to a particular “famous” artist’s track. I apparently bear weird musical taste. It isn’t even a bit surprising to see music from genres wide apart landing in my Loved tracks list (pop, metal, alternative, classics,  house, psychedelic trance and what not). I tend to associate random memories with the music I listen. Yes, I maintain an year-wise loved tracks list which parallelly is like a diary for me. My archive folder:

I’ve talked about Last FM and Youtube Disco in my previous posts. 22tracks is something I recently came to know. “22tracks.com is a jukebox consisting of 22 playlists of different genres, each playlist filled with 22 tracks, selected by specialized DJs of Amsterdam . 22tracks provides a quick overview of the latest music, promotes new artists and lets you discover new genres.

Unhide application feeds – Facebook

Mar 3rd

Posted by indigoanalysis in For You

I used to hate those millions of Farmville and Mafia war’s feed on my Facebook feed. I blocked them, they got added to the blocked app list. But trust me when you actually start playing these you have hard time surviving without those feeds. Now when I want to enable them i find no option to do it. Facebook changed its interface recently just after the “birthday”. Everytime Facebook changes its look, its like “you better devote some time to find all those misplaced areas”. I did that. I found where the applications can be added to the feed again.

The trick is to move to “Top news” first. The most used “most recent” page doesn’t let you do it.

  • Go to Top News link on the top of your feeds.
  • Now navigate to the end of the page and find “Edit Options”
  • Go to the “applications” tab in the floating box.
  • Click on the “add to news feed” button. You are done.

The catch here is that you’d kill yourself from frustration after not finding any such options under the “Most Recent” page. True that you never go to the “Top News” page. But for this you’ll have to go. There is no other way on the present Facebook interface to unhide applications from your news feed.

P.S. You also find blocked pages there.
