2. In the bus: A heavy lady wearing pointed high-heeled shoes steps on your feet ...
Q - Sorry, did that hurt?
A - No, not at all, I'm on local anesthesia ... why don't you try again.

3. At a funeral: One of the teary-eyed people asks ...

A - Why? Would it rather have been you?

4. At a restaurant: When someone asks the waiter ...

Organisation Of Data Within A Folder

, , ,

"I want all my data in my computer to be organized"
"I don't want to create endless folders and sub-folders"


If these thoughts ever came to your mind, then you have come to the right place. I'm saying again, many people might know this trick but I'm writing this just in case it might help anyone. Before i say any more, please read the next line
The following trick is fully tested only in Windows XP, i have no idea about how it works in the previous and later version of Windows

Here is a pictorial representaion-

Easiest Way To Download Flash Videos

, , ,

I know this is nothing new and everybody knows this neat trick but I can proudly say that I was the first one in my locality who discovered this. I'm writing this just in case it helps somebody. Anyway, let's get started

The thing that you need are
  • A web browser (don't ask "Which one?", it's the obvious...OK, I'll say it, use Opera but it even works with Firefox but i won't tell how. I'll tell it now and I'll tell it again "Change to Opera")
  • Internet connection
  • Nothing else, no extra softwares or anything


First, all you have to do is watch the video, or at least, let it buffer up completely. Make sure that it's done or else there will be problems (Corrupt file error etc)

Second, go to 'My Computer' (unless you have renamed it), go to Tools->Folder Options->View and enable "Show hidden files & folders"

Third, go to [Root Drive]:\Documents and Settings\[User Name]\Local Settings\Application Data\Opera\Opera\cache

Fourth, find the largest file in the cache (Assuming you video file is larger than the other elements in the web page) and add ".flv" as the extension

That's it! You're done! Start it with your flv-player (I use VLC player)
Tell me if you have any problems

Notes :
  • I'm assuming you are using Windows XP like me 'coz this trick didn't work with Vista. Other OS users, I'm totally clueless
  • This works with not only with Youtube but with any site showing Flash videos but I've not tried many. This also works with ShockWave Flash files. Just add ".swf" as extension
  • Do not turn off Opera during the entire process. Close it only after you have moved the file to your desired location (out of cache). It is for those who have "Empty cache on exit" enabled

"The End Of The Beginning"...(Not the other way round)

,

Is this my first blog? Well it's hard to say 'coz you see I am owner of a group here where I write bolgs to convey information to my class mates about the current affairs of our class but that's beside the point, so technically speaking, no. But those blogs reveal nothing of my individuality, how I am as a person. This is where some of you will know me, some of you will get even more confused, and some will witness my legendary writing skills (kidding).
With this blog I think I can finally call myself a netizen, I mean there are no formal qualification to become a "netizen", apart from the fact that you have to keep your eyes glued to the computer screen for 4-5 hours where 3-4 hours are spent on the net, but I have atleast ascended from a "net-surfer". So that's why this the 'End Of The Beginning'...
Well, enough time spent here. I think I'll hop into the real world now. If none of your neural-sensors were tingled by reading this blog, you can always assume you LIKED this blog, you DIDN'T waste your time here and can click on another link in this multiditudinous ocean of links with a grin on your face, thinking there was something warm about this page but just couldn't hold on to it. I'll be back with yet more to share so for the time being, 'live strong!'
