What’s Defragmenting?

Defragmenting is the process of reducing the fragmentation of files in your hard disk. Wait what? The thing is as you go on storing files in your computer, the OS allocates continuous memory wherever possible. If not then the files are divided (or more appropriately fragmented) and placed in different memory locations. This increases the access time for the files and slows down your PC.

To get a clearer idea, just follow the image to the right. (Image Credit: Wikipedia)

So MyDefrag. Here are some of its features:

• Very Simple
• Very Fast. (gotta say it again and again!)
• Has many options, from quick defrag to full defrag.
• Optimizes your disk as well

You have different options for data and system disks, for defragmenting only or defragment and optimize and even for normal disks and flash disks (although I’d not vouch too much for that!)

I know no ones going to do it daily or even weekly or for that matter monthly! But it is recommended that you at least defragment your disk every once in 6 months. And this is the perfect tool, in my opinion.

The only con that I have found is that, it hasn’t been updated or given any new features. But hey they say ‘don’t repair, what ain’t broken!’

Also The default installer comes with a set of easy to use scripts for end-users, a scripting engine for demanding users, a screensaver, and a combined Windows plus command line version. A little too much.

Just try it out and let me know your comments.

So what exactly do you mean by pinging? Well Wikipedia explains it as:

In blogging, ping is an XML-RPC-based push mechanism by which a weblog notifies a server that its content has been updated. An XML-RPC signal is sent to one or more "ping servers," which can then generate a list of blogs that have new material.

In simple words, when you publish a post, your server will notify other servers (like Google) that you have served up new content, so that they may come and index you quickly.

Although sites like Google, Bing, Yahoo do it automatically, yet if you were to notify more sites manually, things do look more cheerful! So how do you do it? Just follow these simple steps:

1. Log in to your WordPress
2. Go to Settings => Writing
3. Now scroll down to Update Services

In the text box that you see, just enter the following ping services:

Something to ponder upon.

However, to embed a video properly is a complicated task for a novice webmaster. On the one hand, a blog owner need to deploy correct video HTML code. On the other hand – there so many techniques how to embed a video on a blog so it’s hard to make the best choice. Let’s look at the easiest 4 ways to embed video in a blog:

Free Video Converter

Free Video Converter by Freemake is a video freeware that helps to convert video to SWF or FLV format and to embed the resulting video to your blog. The process is simple: select a video, convert and check the “embed video to my web page” box. After the conversion, copy and paste the automatically generated code to your web page, upload the video to you server and enjoy unique video on your blog. Free Video Converter is a suitable tool for those who prefer less HTML coding and immediate results. Link to download.

HTML5 Video Embedding

HTML5 is a great standard for video playback directly in browsers. Latest versions of Chrome, Mozilla Firefox support HTML5 video. The advantage of HTML5 coding is that a video can be watched on any device: PC, Mac, iPad, Android, etc. However, this way is useful for advanced webmasters.

The process is the following: convert your video to all popular video formats like: mp4, swf, ogg or webm. Upload all videos to server. Put a code structure like the one below between. Don’t forget to test the quality of the video and watch it in various browsers.

Here is a sample HTML5 code:

DOCTYPE HTML>
<html>
<body>

<video width=”420″ height=”340″ controls=”controls”>
<source src=”movie.ogg” type=”video/ogg” />
mp4″ type=”video/mp4″ />
webm” type=”video/webm” />
<object width=”320″ height=”240″ src=”movie.mp4″>
<embed width=”320″ height=”240″ src=”movie.swf”>
Your browser does not support video
</embed>
</object>
</video>

</body>
</html>

Video LightBox

Video LightBox is a Java script application that allows you to play video in a fancy pop-up window. If you want to create a custom video player for your blog, then LightBox will do its job. The process is pretty easy: add a video, choose a video player style, upload a video file to server and publish a new video on your blog. The software has free and paid versions so each blogger may benefit from Video LightBox. Here is a little how-to video guide about LightBox.

Author Bio

Victoria Kushner is a blogger and social media specialist. She writes about popular multimedia apps and takes an active part in their promotion in social media.

To have an internet connection on your phone, you must have it enabled on your card first. To enable it check out local schemes from your retailer and enable it. I have a 2G plan, Rs. 98/month for 2GB.

In most cases, once the above step is done, a ‘E’ symbol representing Edge,  or ‘G’ representing GPRS or ’3G’ representing well, 3G will appear on your notification bar. So you’re good to go. If not continue on then.

The 3G icon in the notification bar indicates 3G is enabled.

Open up Settings => Wireless and Networks => Mobile Networks => Access Point Names (or something similar, it differs on each phone. You just need to find where you can put in an Access Point Name or APN.) Once you reach here, create a new Access Point Name (or modify the existing one, your choice) and put in the following details exactly:

• Name: Airtel
• APN: airtelgprs.com
• APN Type: Internet

That’s it nothing else. Save it, enable it, restart phone. The net should be active by now. Still no? Continue on.

Well at this state you probably might have started repenting your Big Switch from Nokia to Android , but don’t worry I too had to go through all these steps.

But your final alternative unfortunately is to call up the support center @ 121. A better alternative however would be to mail their support desk @ 121@in.airtel.com. My experience with them definitely calls for the email support over the phone.

Still not working? Please do comment with your details. I’ll try to find the solution.

Selecting the right profile picture would certainly do you a world of good. If done the right way, it instantly creates a connection. And as they say, ‘First impression is the last impression,’ you’d want to make it count.

Here are 10 tips to improve your choice:

1. Use your-own picture. Photo’s with your spouse/pet/best friend can be shared separately for Pete’s sake!
2. Use close-up shots, so even small thumbnails can be easily recognizable.
3. Try as much to use bright colors like white in your picture, as they seem pleasant. However take care not to use too many loud colors.
4. Try to put up an image in which your face is as pleasant can be. There’s the instant connection for you.
5. Yes, you may Photoshop your picture to remove the odd pimple or scar. Just don’t overdo it.
6. Don’t add ridiculous effects on your picture (like cartoonized, magazine cover.) Those are intended for passing time, and let it be that way.
7. If you are cropping an image having many members, crop it in a way so that any other person in the original image won’t be visible.
8. Keep updating your image. Don’t use one that was taken years back!
9. Try to keep away negative objects (like a beer bottle) away from your display picture.
10. Finally before uploading an image, please ask some close to you, ‘Do I look good in this pic?’

Here’s a presentation from Social Media Hive for your reference:

Personally I don’t read these Facebook notification mails. I log in to my Facebook, check notifications there and if something is missing (like a deleted post or multiple tagged photos,) I come back to GMail.

So in most cases I just need to delete these mails. The method is rather easy. In the search box just type the following:

facebookmail.com label:unread

Now press enter. You’ll see all your unread Facebook mails over there. Scan through if you want.

To delete it just select the box at the top (the one next to Archive button.) This selects all you mails on the page (and even gives you an option to delete further mails)

Click the delete button. That’s it!

Just head over to Youtube-Mp3.org. Here, it’s as simple as 1-2-3:

• Enter the URL of the YouTube video
• Click on the Convert Video button
• Click on the generated

Check out the video below for a demo:

YouTube-Mp3 also provides add-ons for Firefox and Chrome, which you can install and easily download the mp3′s of any video. You may download the add-ons from here.

Note: Please do note that these tutorials are aimed at advanced users, so please be careful. I’m not gonna be responsible if you brick your phone.

As always, to realize the true potential of an Android you need to root it. This does cause your warranty to go void, so its your call: performance or warranty. To root your phone, follow the tutorial over here.

So in the first tutorial, we are gonna add the hacks right into the build.prop file. This file basically controls major properties of your android.

Follow these steps:

1. Root your phone.
2. Download and install Root Explorer from the market. You may download it from here.
3. Now open Root Explorer and click on system folder. Now click on ‘R/W’ button at the top.
4. Long press on the build.prop file, a new menu opens. Select Open in text editor option.

Type the following codes to the build.prop file for the respective hack you want. If the codes are already present, just edit them and change the value.

Make interface and scrolling more responsive

windowsmgr.max_events_per_sec=150

Force launcher into memory

ro.HOME_APP_ADJ=1

Make phone ring out faster while calling

ro.telephony.call_ring.delay=1000

Disable black-screen after call ends

mot.proximity.delay=150

Increase data speed and get better signal

ro.ril.hsxpa=2
ro.ril.gprsclass=10
ro.ril.hep=1
ro.ril.enable.dtm=1
ro.ril.hsdpa.category=10
ro.ril.enable.a53=1
ro.ril.enable.3g.prefix=1
ro.ril.htcmaskw1.bitmask=4294967295
ro.ril.htcmaskw1=14449
ro.ril.hsupa.category=5

Increase overall touch responsiveness

debug.performance.tuning=1
video.accelerate.hw=1

Turn off boot animation

debug.sf.nobootanimation=1

Bonus Tip

Save Battery

wifi.supplicant_scan_interval=180
pm.sleep_mode=1
ro.ril.disable.power.collapse=0

That’s it. If you have any problem, please do not hesitate to ask. You will have a noticeable increase in performance of your phone. Stay tuned for other parts of this series.

You could do the freeing up manually as well.  But the lazy bone that I am, the automatic way using the software is what I’ll be explaining.

CCleaner – What’s it?

Well here’s what Piriform, the makers of CCleaner, have to say:

CCleaner is the number-one tool for cleaning your Windows PC. It protects your privacy online and makes your computer faster and more secure. Easy to use and a small, fast download.

Short and simple. Like and like!

So what’s there to do? Download the software from here, install it and run it. Read along if you want to know more.

Free Up Disk Space

The default screen that opens up when you launch CCleaner is the one that’s used to free up disk space. To clear up, just click on the ‘Analyze‘ button. The software will now search for redundant files. The scan will show you those files that are no longer needed (like recycle bin files) and how much space can be recovered by removing them.

Once the scan finishes (it’s a pretty quick scan) just click the ‘Run Cleaner‘ button and you’ll recover the space that it showed while analyzing.

Files that are deleted include history, recycle bin files, temporary files and such. So there’s not much worry.

Speeding up your PC

This brings us to the part II of our tutorial. Click on the registry tab on the left pane of CCleaner. Click on ‘Scan for Issues‘. The software will now search for redundant registry entries.

Once the scan completes the ‘Fix Selected Issues‘ button will become live. Select the issues you want to correct (I’d recommend to select all) and click on the ‘Fix Selected Issues‘ button.

Now you will be asked whether you want to backup changes to registry. Select ‘Yes’ to be on the safer side. Save the.reg backup file to a convenient location on your hard disk.

Now you’ll see a screen like the one below.

You can select ‘Fix Issue‘ to fix one issue at a time or directly select ‘Fix All Selected Issues‘. My recommendation? Of course, ‘Fix All Selected Issues”, lazy as usual.

Registry files that are deleted include those that are left behind after the corresponding software has been uninstalled, inactive shortcuts etc. So again no worries.

That’s it you’ll certainly have recovered at least a slight, if not a good, increase in free space as well as speed in your computer.

Download – CCleaner (via BrotherSoft)

Facebook Groups

Although Facebook provides an easy way to create a group, the method to delete it is a little stupid in my opinion. The instructions itself are buried deep.

Here’s how to delete a Facebook group:

1. First of all, to delete a group you need to be its first admin. If you’re the person who created a group, you are the admin by default.
2. Go to the group and in the member’s box (towards the right side of the group page), click on ‘See All‘
3. The first name you’ll see, will be is your own. Do not do anything to it (as of yet.)
4. Below your name you will see the names of members of the group. They have a “Make Admin” button next to them and right next to it you will see a ‘x‘ mark. Click on it and confirm you want to remove the member.
5. Remove each member in the similar way.
6. Last step, remove yourself from the group. That’s it.

Over the next few days, Facebook will automatically remove the group as it won’t have any members. This method may be lengthy for groups having many members, but unfortunately this is the only method.

So how to solve it? Well its quite simple. Just download the K-Lite Mega Codec Pack and install it on your PC. That’s it! Just play your video files after restarting your computer and you are good to go.

Install Screen

The solution is pretty easy. Its done using an add-on called Facebook Chat Sidebar Disabler. Depending on your browser follow the steps:

FireFox:

FireFox users just go here and download the add-on. If it does say ‘This add-on has not been reviewed by Mozilla ‘ just click on it and click again on the Add to FireFox button. That’s it, restart it and you are good to go.

Chrome:

For Google Chrome users, download this app and just refresh the Facebook page (by pressing F5) and your done.

Opera:

Opera users need to download this add-on. And that’s it!
 

 
Using this method, although you will get the interface of the old chat back, still the underling chat system would be that of the new one. So expect some of those stupid problems to last.
