Do you sometimes wonder what’s taking your disk space? If you have thousands of files like I do, it can get very difficult to quickly see what is consuming all the disk space. There is a nice program called WinDirStat (Windows Directory Statistics) that shows you visually with color coded proportional blocks arranged according to directory structure,…
I thought it was some kind of joke at first. But no! It is real. Check it out!The PC configuration is weak though. They could have used a Core 2 Quad instead of Core 2 Duo.
Today Google announced a new browser! Chrome. It’s available for immediate download. There is an elaborate comic book style story of the idea behind it all too. I just got my hands on this browser and after about 15 minutes of browsing with it, I am impressed. It is only available for Windows right now. It downloaded and…
I had not checked in a while about Flock. It seems to be coming along nicely. It looks a lot more polished. I’m using the Linux version on Ubuntu and some things don’t seem to work correctly. For example in the Account and Service sidebar, when I click on the service names, nothing happens.
All the components arrived in the week of Sept 4. My PC was assembled and running by the weekend. I was disappointed at first because no matter what I tried, the OCZ memory won’t run at the rated 400MHz. It only ran at 266. After searching through Abit forums I found that the BIOS version…
Apple today announced Safari 3.0 will be available for Windows XP and Vista too! That’s great news! Since Firefox 1.0 I’ve been using it exclusively except when I need to visit sites with Indic Scripts. Indic script rendering is not perfect in Firefox.

On a click it splits the window into two and offers anice blogger client. It is a good mash-up product with technorati anddel.icio.us integration. I am yet to explore all the features but this sounds…
So I’m all excited again to build yet another PC. If you’ve been paying attention you already know Intel has released a new CPU with new architecture called Core 2 Duo . It’s been getting rave reviews all over the internet. So I decided to jump in and have some fun of my own. I decided to build my own new Core 2…
I got a new Mac mini last week. This is an amazing computer. It’s a 6.5 sq. in. 2 inch tall box packed with everything you would need in a computer at home. Intel Core Solo 1.5 GHz processor, 1 GB DDR RAM, 60 GB hard disk. The external interfaces include 4 USB 2.0 ports, 1 firewire,…
Yes! I’ve done it again. On my last India trip I took all the components except for the case of my kitchen computer to India. The home PC we had in my parent’s place was getting quite old (a Celeron 433) so I just refreshed the hardware. That left me with one less computer at…
