I came across this article on Cnet today. At least for me speed is not the only thing. I use Firefox exclusively (at home and at work too). I like Firefox because of all its features and all the add-ons I get with it. Firefox has such a huge collection of add-ons. Some of them…
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 have moved my mail hosting to Google. And it’s completely FREE!! I still get to keep my @bapat.net mail, but the mail is now handled by Google instead of Hostmonster. My @bapat.net email address has been in use since December 2000 when I registered this domain and I have been hosting my mail on my own…
I came across this cool site today http://www.epassportphoto.com/ All you need to do is take your photo in front of a plain background in your own home and then upload it. They’ll do the sizing magic and give you photo to download according to each countries specifications. It’s neat. Try it out! You can print the…
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.
I recently came across a site called Librivox which has a large collection of audio books. All these audio books are in public domain and they are all free to download and use without any restrictions. The reason is that, these books are long past their copyright limit. I found that there are many Sherlock Holmes stories, as well…
Well, whenever I think of a problem, I always check if anyone else encountered it before. And Google is your friend here. Drupal doesn’t appear as one of the supported interfaces under Writer wizard. But it actually works. This (and the last blog entry) was created using the Windows Live Writer and posted directly to…
This sounds interesting. Now all the Microsoft “Live” programs come bundled into one nice “suite“. The writer looks really polished. Interesting part about it is that when you create a new blog it copies the style sheet from your blog so you can actually see how the text (including all the formatting) will look before…
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. There are already bugs filed against it in bugzilla but Firefox community has not given high…
I had been searching for a powerful, easy-to-use blogging client and I have found one! I use Firefox and ScribeFire integrate well with it. 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…
