Search Everything.

Search Everything.

You have files, folders, pictures piled up like old library in your system. It's not so easy to search & locate the right file in heavy data centric computer system. Google understood that long back.

For the right solution I've used Google desktop, yahoo desktop search tool, Copernic, locate 32 etc etc. But no software could beat 'Everything search tool for desktop' - tool to Search, find Information in system as well as online. It's breeze & simple to install.

“Everything” is a free, lightning fast file and folder name search program that offers right-click context menu integration. It works with NTFS filesystem hard drives only because it does not scan your hard drive but rather uses the Master File Table of the NTFS volume to build its database.

Clicxpy : recording user's actions

Clicxpy : recording user's actions

What if, if you could know what visitor is doing on your website ? is he moving mouse, has he just paused to read something ? is he clicking something ? or is he filling some forms ? of has he stuck up while doing something ?

It's easy to analyze all the actions of a visitor on your webpage if he's sitting right next to you, but what if he's a random netizen who visited your site from other part of the globe ?

well, then here's the interesting and viable solution: Clixpy, a web based revolutionary analytic tool. It records all user action silently and saves it in the form form of video in Clixpy's server. It's a clever service as well from the business point of view too ! ;)

Clixpy is a web-based tool. It helps you improve your site’s usability by analyzing your users’ behaviour. When you install Clixpy on your site (by placing a small javascript code), it starts tracking everything your users do - like mouse movements, clicks, scrolling, typing, etc. Clixpy sends this data to our servers and generates "video" captures so you can see exactly how people use your site. Interface usability is crucial for a website’s success and that is how Clixpy helps you.

An Australian thriller !

An Australian thriller !

{ Restraint (2008) - My movie of the week }

Fabulous-looking movie. Cinematographer Simon Duggan obviously has a soft spot for the slow, back-lit dance of smoke, dust, dirt, and fog. What he does with airy nothing and a little light would grace any big-budget movie and does wonders to set the mood for this elegant character drama: the way the helicopter's searchlight filters through the trees at night, the trail of gravel left by a speeding vintage Mercedes, the morning fog lifting in slow motion, and endless curls of cigarette smoke gracefully set the pace for most scenes.

Who crashed my windows ?

Who crashed my windows ?

My laptop has a pre-installed version of Vista and is often crashing because of Blue screen of death. It's not easy to find the crash reason unless one muddle through reading crash dump data.

I found an handy tool which helps to decipher the BSOD (Blue screen of death) problems in Windows. It's called WhoCrashed. It relies on windbg.exe-which is part of Debugging Tools for Windows (x86). It means that it's good to install windbg.exe before installing WhoCrashed

WhoCrashed shows the drivers which have been crashing your computer with a single click. In most cases it can pinpoint the offending drivers which have been causing misery on your computer system in the past. It does post-mortem crashdump analysis and presents all gathered information in a comprehensible way.

Pixlr Editor - Online photo editing

Pixlr Editor - Online photo editing

{* offline image loaded into pixlr }

There seems to be a huge surge of on-line photo editing tools to compete with Adobe's Photoshop Express. Online Adobe Photoshop express editing is in infancy compared to robust feature set of offline version. With the recent update, Adobe has updated light room features to it.

I found an interesting online photo editing tool pixlr.com's Image editor.

The UI looks so crisp and nicely rendered. It's pretty quick too in all aspects. Interestingly it's done in flash and the whole scripting is done inside single flash file.

Surprisingly UI and presentaton looks more like Adobe native UI. Adobe's Photoshop Express's suppose to have the offline photoshop UI, which is not the case.But pixlr.com's Image editor has very similar layout as Photoshop CS4. That's the big plus in identifying itself with offline photoshop UI.

Interestingly 'Undo' feature works as Ctrl+Z in pixlr and also many other keyboard shortcuts works too. Loaded image can be edited and saved to offline unlike Express.

Bangalore, mango and election

Bangalore, mango and election

(Mango next to my bedroom window !)

It's hot summer beating anvil of heat. To give instant relaxation to mood and swiveling heat wave on the heads, it rains randomly in Bangalore. Life just rolls on with more recession news, Overclocking design at my notebook, hot coffees, lovely raspuri mangos, jog on thread mill, long walk on the wet pavements of randomly drizzling days, and of-course with my favorite movie session a-now-and-then. And it's a election time again. First time in my life my left hand index finger's tip is oddly dirt ;) in this Lokhasabha election !

A fresh feeling lingers inside me while driving on lovely, greenery clad streets of drizzling Bangalore. When it rains in Bangalore I love to get out of my seat and drive slowly, listening to my favo music playing in stereo. City is just sexy when it rains ! My favorite driving stretch is Laxman rao park double road near south end. I love the pleasure of driving slowly and my streched out hand feeling the cool wind. A song move gently inside me like a wafer carved out of mango, I hum to myself :

This is the springtime of my loving-
The second season I am to know
You are the sunlight in my growing-
So little warmth Ive felt before.
It isnt hard to feel me glowing-
I watched the fire that grew so low. | The Rain Song
