Half month of pain
Feb 2nd
A proper internet connection appears to have resumed today in our hostel. Almost half a month of limited internet through phone was a pain. Writing down a post wasn’t really possible with javascripts getting timed out on the edge connection.
We missed coverage of several big events that made news during this time. Some of them being:
1. Firefox 3.6 release
2. Steve Jobs reveals the iPad
3. Yoututbe supports to HTML 5.0 player
4. Chrome 4.0 launched [Download Google Chrome 4.0]
and missed many other informative posts I had in mind. Posts will resume in the December fashion again if the internet isn’t erratic.

The most efficient way to Download Youtube videos
Jan 20th
Any other way (in terms of system resources and time) of downloading youtube videos cannot be more efficient than just changing a letter of the URL. The following method allows you to generate direct links to download the video in flv format or iPod friendly mp4 format. To download a Youtube video follow the follow the simple instruction just once. The next time you won’t have to look at this.
Instruction:
Change the “y” of “youtube.com” in the youtube URL to “3″. Like this:
Similarly adding “kick” before youtube in the URL does the same thing. (But typing 3 more letters is comparatively less efficient). The pwn youtube method no longer works directly, but still redirects you to a useful place. Using download manager and other plugins are mathematically less efficient too (system resources). Cheers.
Make professional collage out of your pictures
Jan 20th
Okay, I have hundreds of pictures to arrange into a collage. I’m too lazy to arrange so many of them into a collage. What do I do?
Solution:
I download this free software that automates the process of creating a collage from number of pictures. Leaves absolutely nothing for you to do and gives you a finished professional looking collage. It’s called shape collage. One great feature of Shape collage is that you can make the collage in a desired shape. The software also has an online version, that allows you to work directly on the cloud.
Some great features:
Create picture collages in less than a minute with just a few mouse clicks
Create collages in the shape of a Rectangle, heart, circle, letters, or even draw your own shape.
Adjust the collage size, size of the photos, number of photos, and spacing between photos
Change the background, the colour of the border, and more
Edit the final image in Photoshop by saving it in PSD format.
Make sure your computer has java runtime environment installed.

It Helps in building bonds with like minded people:
If you are a blogger and frequently comment on other blog posts, at some point in time the author will notice your interest in his/her blog. This helps you to build up your circle of like minded people (bloggers). You get a regular reader and also some good things to read regularly. Also helps to build up traffic in sufficient time. Shoutmeloud explains…
Constant bombarding of small comments never works. Commenting has a proper protocol, it must be something which adds to the content of the post. Or it can be a hearty acknowledgment. Criticisms are desirable if put forward in a polite manner.
It can get you a free ad slot:
AnimHut runs this great offer every month. End of every month the top commentator on the blog is awarded with a free adslot for the month. This month it is giving away two such adslots.
It helps to build backlinks:
Commenting makes an active link on the page you comment. This builds a backlink that is tracked by web crawlers if the link is dofollow type. Nowadays the search engines and ranking websites heavily depend on the backlinks to rate a website. It eventually helps to pump up your blog’s rank.
