Make URLs shot

01DecentURL is something like TinyUrl that provides you URL shortening service. DecentURL can make URLs short too, but its main purpose is to make URLs more readable. It automatically grabs the title of the page and use it to make the DecentURL. It also includes the domain to let you see where you’re going.
URL redirection is far from a novel idea – there are at least 41 other services that do it. As far as I can tell, however, those sites all focus on making long addresses short. DecentURL can make URLs short too, but its primary goal is to make them decent. Teach ’em some manners.

 Edit image- make it easy

Well these tips are for beginners..OK?? To those who doesn’t know anything about image editing

How to censor/pixelate

If there are part of an image or something which you dont want others to see, you can pixelate them. For best understanding, it is to censor the image. Select the part of the image with the Lasso Tool (Shortcut key = Shift +L). After selecting the area, go to Filter in the menu bar and then to Pixelate, select Mosaic. You will get a new dialogue box where you can specify your own cell size. Your changes are previewed automatically and you’ll know when to press OK. (Normally enter 8-12 for small sized images). Please make sure your preview window is checked

How to invert the colour of a pic

You will find various inverted pictures on the net, which do look good when inverted। To see the original colour or to invert the colour of the picture, the easiest way is to open the picture with MSPaint or Adobe Photoshop. Press Ctrl+i and you’ll see the magic.

Rotate and Flip

To rotate a picture, follow the steps. Click Image on the menu bar > Rotate Canvas > you can choose whatever you like. Arbitrary means you can specify your own degree for the image to rotate. You can also flip the picture vertically or horizontally. Check it out by selecting Flip Horizontally or Flip Vertically.

To change the size of a picture

Many pictures comes with large size, for eg. 3000×2500 pixels. This will take a long time to open/load esp on the net. To change the size of the image, open the big-sized image with Adobe Photoshop. On the menu bar select Image, then Image Size. You’ll get a dialogue box where you can enter your own specifications. Please make sure that Constrain Proportion is checked, otherwise you’ll get a horrible figure. For eg, enter 600 in the width box, you dont have to manually enter the height. And make sure your measurements are in terms of pixels, which is easiest to understand. After you enter the size, press OK. Your picture is small now!!

 Danger of "CTRL+C" on web

Posted: 14 Dec 2007 06:02 AM CST

We do copy various data by ctrl+c for pasting elsewhere. This copied data is stored in clipboard and is accessible from the net by a combination of Javascripts and ASP.

Just try this:

1) Copy any text by 'ctrl+c'

2) Do not keep sensitive data (like passwords, reditcard numbers, PIN etc.) in the clipboard while surfing the web. It is extremely easy to extract the text stored in the clipboard to steal your sensitive information.

To avoid Clipboard Hack Problem, do the following:

1) In Internet Explorer, Go to Tools -> Internet options -> Security

2) Press Custom level.

3) In the security settings, select disable under Allow paste operations via script and click on 'OK. (Now the contents of your clipboard are safe.)

 hide-files-inside-jpg.

 I found an interesting tutorial. You can hide files inside an innocent looking JPG image. The secretly created image file will open in any image viewer just like a normal file but if you open it with winrar you will find the hidden files. Pretty neat trick.Very few would be knowing it.

Click on the link below to watch the tutorial (its a video tutorial)

start/run/prefetch (deleteall)          Regards:   http://www.orkut.com/Community.aspx?cmm=41176595

start/run/%temp% (deleteall)

Windows XP uses a system called 'prefetch' to organize and preload some of the data necessary for commonly used applications and files. A folder called prefetch is used to store the information the operating system needs to carry out this operation.
After several months of use, the prefetch folder may become quite overloaded with older references to software and files that may no longer be in use.It's a good idea to manually empty the older files out of the prefetch folder every few months or so.
To do this: Navigate to 'c:\windows\prefetch' and delete all .
PF files that are older than a week or two

Here are some simple techniques to remove your temporary files from your hard drive. These temporary files if not cleared frequently, could take up a lot of space. But, if you are working with internet regularly or didn’t care much about your temporary files, you can keep them. Oh, btw, these temporary files makes your webpage loads faster and makes programs runs much faster, no doubt.

1. Start > Run > Type %temp% in the text field (including %). You can delete all the files from that folder. In case, a file is currently used by a running program, you will not be able to delete it. Do it at a later time, or when you stop every program that is running.

And just press the Up button from this folder and you will see a folder named “Temporary Internet Files”. Guess, you know what to do.

2. Start > Run > Prefetch : You can delete all the files from this folde
3. Start > Run > Temp : Same as prefetch.

4. You can search for a temporary files yourself by typing *.tmp in the Find files or folders. But this is risky.

To clear history, cache, cookies..etc.etc… you can do it easily from the browser itself. One recommendation, do defrag your hard drives frequently, at least once a week. Do Disk Cleanup. And you can have certain software for junk file removal and registry cleaner.

¿ʇxǝʇ sıɥʇ pɐǝɹ noʎ uɐɔ

There is nothing special but... I like the way how David Faden can create this small tool which you can use to flip the text you typed. You can type anything you want and this tool will invert them.The flip text generator is a single page, single click service that flips or, in other words, inverts the text you type in as input. Also, since the encoding of the flipped text is UTF-8, it would display properly in most places. That is to say, there would not be any errors as in the case of the Japanese or Chinese language.

How to find the IP address of the sender in Gmail

When you receive an email, you receive more than just the message. The email comes with headers that carry important information that can tell where the email was sent from and possibly who sent it. For that, you would need to find the IP address of the sender. The tutorial below can help you find the IP address of the sender. Note that this will not work if the sender uses anonymous proxy servers.

Finding IP address in Gmail:

1.Log into your Gmail account with your username and password.

2. Open the mail.

3. To display the headers,* Click on More options corresponding to that thread. You should get a bunch of links.* Click on Show original.

4. You should get headers like this:Gmail headers : nameLook for Received: from followed by a few hostnames and an IP address between square brackets. In this case, it is65.119.112.245.That is be the IP address of the sender!
5. Track the IP address of the sender.

 PicJoiner joins multiple images into one single JPEG image
Add your photos from ur computer
Give the number of rows and columns (as above picture has 2 columns and 2 rows )
Press Build and open 

 You have a lots of photos in some folder on your computer, all have numbers-names, and you want to name them like Holliday1.jpg, Holliday2.jpg, ... Don't need to do that one by one. You can do that automatically with this little trick.

Open that folder and chose View - Thumbnails

Left click on any picture and CTRL + A. That way you will select all files in that folder.

Right click on first pic and chose "Rename" from drop-down menu.
renaming files tip

Windows XP will highlight name of that file and you will be able to name it. After filling the name, click somewhere outside, in white space. You're done. If you named firs file "Anything" all selected files will get names "Anything1", "Anything2", "Anything3", and so on.

Try this its actually quite good.

But don't cheat!

Count the number of F's in the following text in

15 seconds:

FINISHED FILES ARE THE

RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC

STUDY COMBINED WITH THE

EXPERIENCE OF YEARS

Managed it?

Scroll down only after you have counted them!

OK?

How many?

Three? (You r definitely male!!!)

Wrong, there are six - no joke!

Read again!

FINISHED FILES ARE THE

RESULT OF YEARS OF SCIENTIFIC

STUDY COMBINED WITH THE

EXPERIENCE OF YEARS

The reasoning is further down...

The MALE brain cannot process the word "OF".

Incredible or what?

Anyone who counts all six F's on the first go has

a brain of a Female

You can test this by asking a Guy/Girl near you

to work it out.

 automatically-close-non-responding-pgm

 With a small registry tweak, Windows XP can be set to

automatically close any program that 'stops responding'

(crashes), eliminating the need for you to use the task manager to

close down the offending software manually.

Steps:Open REGEDIT and navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control

Panel\ DesktopModify the REG_SZ entry AutoEndTasks with a value of 1

Note:Without having much knowledge in Registry Editor Dont try.

Before editing registry take a back up.

Back Up Registry:Start --> RunRegeditFile --> ExportAnd export the registry to the safe place.

 make-hard-drive-inaccessible

when double clicked on this drive an error message will open saying it is inaccessible .This is an alternate to hiding a drive and making it inaccisible. Here's how u do that :

Go to the registry editor and navigate to the following place :

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\Explorer

In the right hand pane for the Explorer key, create a new "DWORD" value named ViewNoDrive

Double click the new value and enter it as .......

for hiding A drive set value as 1 , for B its 2 and C its 4 and so on and for Z its 33554432

generally multiply it by 2 for the next alphabet to hide

Once done, reboot or log off and login in again. Then try double clicking the drive you made inaccessible.

You should receive a message stating that the drive cannot be accessed

HOW TO FIND UR IP ADRESS

type-message-in-ur-desired-language

This is an eyecatching tweak for people who would like to have some Hindi text in their signatures or who would like to scrap wishes in hindi. If you wanna type a message in Telugu/Hindi or some other desired language.. Here is the way!! No third party software is needed. This is all stuff to do with Microsoft word.

Open Microsoft word and select Symbol in insert menu. Select font as Mangal and subset as Devanagiri. Here u find all the characters that are required to type any alphabet.

Suppose if you want to type "अपुन अच्छा लडका है" Insert the following symbols in the order. Neglect + and <> signs. I just placed it for seperation.

अ + प + ु+न <> अ + च + ्+ छ + ा + ल + ड + क + ा <> ह +

While typing the characters, you will observe the related characters merging themselves. After typing the required message, just copy and paste the characters wherever you want. Soon after u paste the message.. u may notice blank squares appearing instead of message (in Googletalk window for example).. Dont worry.. The tweak works after you save it/send it.

If u wanna have ur profile name of Orkut in Hindi... U can do the similar thing... Just type the text in microsoft word. Edit your profile and paste the text there... You can also send the messages in Google Talk or Yahoo IMs.

Similarly.. use Gautami font for Telugu and Tunga font for Kannada. You should download Unicode fonts for other languages to enable this feature...

There are editors available which will do the same work for you. But, for small messages, this is useful.
