I don't use Windows anymoreAs a Windows user, I was very tempted to try every applications that promised me to keep my Windows fast. Registry cleaners were on top of those applications.<span class="fullpost">Sometimes I stumble upon sites which pops up a window suggesting me to download a software which will make my computer fast. I must admit honestly that I've clicked on those links on several occasions hoping it would do what it said. And it would take me long to realize that I have invited some malwares/spywares instead of speeding up my syste. But now I don't have to worry about all those things and I can simply ignore pop-up like this, because I don't use Windows any more, I've already switched to Ubuntu Linux! Thanx <s>god</s> Linux for keeping my computer healthy (no spyware/malware), wealthy(no eating of my computer resources unnecessarily anymore) and wise (of course Linux is intelligent)!<br /><div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />digg_url="<data:post.url/>";<br /></script><br /><script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoxXjeTqaDIUJyNU-JNkA48e6xYsO1qSBjAo0T2yfUzzEfxORSOfGiRHjyLSgQjk4Zy7t3YPpbH5c3Zz2lPpTMRHx1ezhaFFGvWsZu9I95E__yqzCSLUuHvmK1AaE-VD6xQGiRbuANNvCz/s1600-h/no-windows.jpg"><img style="display:block; margin:0px auto 10px; text-align:center;cursor:pointer; cursor:hand;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhoxXjeTqaDIUJyNU-JNkA48e6xYsO1qSBjAo0T2yfUzzEfxORSOfGiRHjyLSgQjk4Zy7t3YPpbH5c3Zz2lPpTMRHx1ezhaFFGvWsZu9I95E__yqzCSLUuHvmK1AaE-VD6xQGiRbuANNvCz/s320/no-windows.jpg" border="0" alt=""id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181033071342672418" /></a><br /></span>a-s-h-o-khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16572526656203569720noreply@blogger.com1tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7541509255251032937.post-52005852666088616122008-03-16T00:13:00.004-06:002008-04-09T20:13:34.136-06:00My beautiful Ubuntu desktopMy beautiful and clean Ubuntu desktop<span class="fullpost"><br /><div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />digg_url="<data:post.url/>";<br /></script><br /><script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /></div><br /><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbkSTX7dfV6EBhgK9vWc064FJuufIekrr7T8ZlULOuvY1fmZI1ERssOCodTdXvd6M1r_2yPyiAB5dcjN1KrteUJJX99ScGbRrj8LrBiWRrRFgaQ-gGReg8zXIZOSTLlFOJQWMBduPg_GW5/s1600-h/my+ubuntu+desktop.png"><img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEjbkSTX7dfV6EBhgK9vWc064FJuufIekrr7T8ZlULOuvY1fmZI1ERssOCodTdXvd6M1r_2yPyiAB5dcjN1KrteUJJX99ScGbRrj8LrBiWRrRFgaQ-gGReg8zXIZOSTLlFOJQWMBduPg_GW5/s320/my+ubuntu+desktop.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5178219937051834146" border="0" /></a><br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">[Update1: Click the following thumbnail to download the wallpaper]<br /><br />[Update2: Read my another post <a href="http://goodbutbad.blogspot.com/2008/04/three-little-things-to-make-your-ubuntu.html">here</a> for how-to ] </span><a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwdXB16wKtEa9wbqVvg1XeBb3SrprXFGLo7_SOL0MYRQC8bvoo7VUI1SYKnjrd22HiwVv31eJtIOWIZ44cWcwZxJwZJ924F8mwJUXsIwsuS_W0e33Stxw4U30YGYbBWSNlkxf5CYB4IcZh/s1600-h/Spring_1600.jpg"><img style="margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; float: right; cursor: pointer;" src="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEhwdXB16wKtEa9wbqVvg1XeBb3SrprXFGLo7_SOL0MYRQC8bvoo7VUI1SYKnjrd22HiwVv31eJtIOWIZ44cWcwZxJwZJ924F8mwJUXsIwsuS_W0e33Stxw4U30YGYbBWSNlkxf5CYB4IcZh/s200/Spring_1600.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5181380508427115058" border="0" /></a><br /></span>a-s-h-o-khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16572526656203569720noreply@blogger.com6tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7541509255251032937.post-49722868775925013452008-03-15T11:21:00.004-06:002008-04-12T14:04:42.627-06:00How to video chat with your girlfriend in Ubuntu?I've moved to my new home <a href="http://www.quicktweaks.com/">http://www.quicktweaks.com</a><br />Blogging in Blogger was not so comfortable.

It has been years <span style="font-style: italic;">The Popular Extensions </span>column of Mozilla Addons is showing only those 5 extensions. But there are number of other extensions which are incredibly productive but is very little known about. Here are my top 10 little known Firefox extensions.<span class="fullpost"> There are no. of very popular and useful extensions available but in this post I've listed only the newest extensions. And the good news is - all of these extensions (except Netscape Link Pad) run smoothly in Firefox 3 and above!<br /><div style="float: right; margin-left: 10px;"><br /><script type="text/javascript"><br />digg_url="<data:post.url/>";<br /></script><br /><script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"><br /></script><br /><script src="http://slashdot.org/slashdot-it.js" type="text/javascript"></script><br /></div><br /><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5846">10. Yet Another Smooth Scrolling<span idspanfor="link" mlb_idspanflag="true" style="border: 1px solid grey; padding: 0px 3px; float: none; margin-left: 2px; z-index: 500; display: none;font-family:sans-serif;font-size:xx-small;" >63</span></a><br />If you are one of those guys who read a lot of texts on screen regularly and have to regularly scroll up and down, this extension is for you. The default scrolling of any browser is very jerky. This extension customizes the overall scrolling of your page allowing you to scroll your page smoothly without giving much stress to your eyes. There are three presets scrolling indicated by red, green and blue. You can customize the smoothness, stride size and acceleration sensitivity of both mouse and keyboard of each of the presets. You can quickly change your preset either from the context menu or from a small icon on the status bar.<br />*Version supported: 1.5 – 3.0b3<br /><br /><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/879">9. Mouseless Browsing (MLB)</a><br />This extension comes in handy if you own a laptop and feel difficult to use your touchpad to move the cursor to a link. It numbers every hyperlinks on a page and you can simply type its number and hit enter to follow the hyperlink. Not only for hyperlinks, it comes with other shortcuts for a better mouseless browsing experience such as scrolling the page, going history back or forward etc. The shortcut keys can be changed easily. You can change the style of the numbers in its option dialog box. If you don't like those numbered links or you find them visually irritating, you can turn it on or off with just a key on the fly.<br />*Version supported: 1.5 – 3.0b3<br /><br /><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5861">8. Fancy Numbered Tabs</a><br />Very few of us know that we can easily switch to Firefox tabs just by pressing Ctrl+Tab No. It is a very easy way to navigate through the open tabs with keyboard. But if there multiple tabs are open, it is very difficult to guess the number of a tab. This extension replaces the Close Tab button with a number making easy to navigate quickly through tabs.<br />*Version supported: 2.0 – 3.0a9<br /><br /><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5714">7. Auto Context</a><br />I work in a parking office where I've to sometimes open up a secure webpage and copy-paste vehicle information into our database. I get very fed up to select text, right-click the mouse button and then select the copy option. This extension displays a customized popup menu as soon as you select some text in a web page. You can toggle it on or off with a combination of shortcut keys.<br />*Version supported: 2.0 – 3.0b3<br /><br /><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/2987">6. TabRenamizer</a><br />Sometimes you might be surfing some of 'such' sites which you don't want to show to others what you are watching/viewing. If someone comes to you while your are browsing those sites, you quickly switch to another tab. But the tab names will show what you are hiding. This extension helps you to randomly rename a tab to a very good and gentle name such as Google, iGoogle, Firefox,Wikipedia, Firefox Central etc. It has two options: either you can select to automatically rename all the tabs or you can rename each tab individually.<br />*Version supported: 2.0 – 3.0b3<br /><br /><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5842">5.

Netscape Link Pad</a><br /><a href="http://blog.netscape.com/2007/12/28/end-of-support-for-netscape-web-browsers/">The official support for Netscape Navigator ended on 1st March 2008</a>. We surely will miss one of the first web browsers but we won't miss its widely appreciated Link Pad side bar. Netscape Link Pad extension allows you to quickly add a link so that you can visit later. Just drag a link to the bar that's all. As soon as you visit the link, the link disappears from the side bar. This is very handy when you want to store some links to visit them later. Bookmarking links clutters your bookmark toolbar and you have to manually delete them one by one once you have visited those temporary links but with Netscape Link Pad you don't have to worry about cleaning those links.<br />*Version supported: 1.5 – 2.0.0<br /><br /><a href="https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/5709">3.

Drag and Drop Zone Searching</a><br />How many times you find in a situation when you find a word and you like to search the word in a search engine of your choice? At this situation what you do is to simply copy the text, open a new bar, go to your favorite search engine and then paste it and then search. Whew! An alternative way is to drag the text to the Firefox's search box but too is very inconvenient. This extension is just for removing those inconvenience. For the first time I didn't know how to use it. When you select a text and start dragging it, transparent search boxes appear on your screen, simply drop the text and it shows you the result in a new tab. Searching couldn't be more convenient than this. When you start this extension for the first time, all your Firefox extension will be automatically added to the drop zones. You can add more search engines upto 64 search zones.<br />*Version supported: 2.0 – 3.0a1<br /><br /><span style="font-style: italic;">*Version supported as on March 5th, 2008</span><br /></span>a-s-h-o-khttp://www.blogger.com/profile/16572526656203569720noreply@blogger.com3tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7541509255251032937.post-32944371556973776722008-03-01T20:28:00.019-07:002008-04-12T13:49:35.383-06:00Install Linux without burning a CD/DVDI've moved to my new home <a href="http://www.quicktweaks.com/">http://www.quicktweaks.com</a><br />Blogging in Blogger was not so comfortable.
