Whoa! Google Chrome has crashed. Restart now?

September 3rd, 2008 admin Posted in Internet No Comments »

Google Chrome logo Google’s made their new beta web browser Chrome available for download.  Chrome seems to be very fast, faster then Firefox 3 and IE8 and Opera. Loads all flash content really quick. Very impressed so far. Having individual processes for each tab is a great design, and makes much more of a difference in overall performance once you’ve got a lot of tabs opening and closing than I might have expected. The ability to make desktop "app" shortcuts for things like GMail is also nice, and it really is VERY fast.

Whoa! Google Chrome has crashed. Restart now?

September 1st, 2008 admin Posted in How to, Internet, Tips and Tricks 1 Comment »

Access Blocked Websites Most work places, universities, schools block users from accessing social networking web sites, email, instant messenger services etc. If your organization is using advanced firewalls or websense blocking, most of the methods like using proxy web sites, alternative backdoor web sites also don’t work. Proxy websites allows us to bypass your current ISP’s IP and connect to targeted website with a different IP; thus hiding our actual origin from detectable. Get the websites here.

I’ll show you some ways how to access blocked content like instant messengers ( Google talk , Yahoo Messenger, MSN Messenger, AOL Messenger, Facebook, Orkut, MySpace Gmail, Yahoo mail, etc ) using different routes. The methods listed below are ordered simple to advanced.

Access Blocked Gtalk, Yahoo Messenger, Live Messenger, AOL Messenger

The work around to access blocked Instant Messenger is to use Web Messengers. Web Messenger are very easy to use as there is no need to download and install any software/plugins. Most of the alternate web messengers listed below would have already been blocked for some, but try once to make sure

Method 1. Most Common alternate Web Messengers.

The below links will most likely not blocked by even websense. http://uziz.net/ is very new and uses javascript to login to im services.

Method 2. Here is the list of currently available Gtalk service servers:
http://izuz.net/gtalk/ (Main server, *recommended* )
http://uziz.net/ (Secondary server, new and works mostly)
http://demo.java2script.org/gtalk/ (Demo server)
https://izuz.net/gtalk/ (With SSL-enabled)

Method 3. Multiple Instant Message Services Available

Beside web Google Talk, they have already added three other web IM services:

    August 25th, 2008 admin Posted in Software, Tips and Tricks No Comments »

    Finally, I migrated Firefox 2.0 to Firefox 3.0.1 on my home laptop. It’s been a long wait, but now I’m able to use all my Firefox 2.0 add-ons and my complete profile settings including passwords, cookies, bookmarks, history, extensions, settings etc. At work, I’ve been using Firefox 3 Portable already.

    My Mozilla Firefox 2.0 installation exists in Program files. I had taken backup of everything with ease to use MozBackup tool. But the best part was, while installing Firefox 3.01, it asked me where my existing installation was and it has taken care of everything including the browser tabs that were open in firefox 2.0

    MozBackup is a simple utility for creating backups of Mozilla Firefox, Mozilla Thunderbird, Mozilla Sunbird, Flock, SeaMonkey, Mozilla Suite, Spicebird and Netscape MozBackup Logo profiles. It allows you to backup and restore bookmarks, mail, contacts, history, extensions, cache etc. It’s an easy way to do Firefox backup, Thunderbird backup. This program is freeware and works on Windows NT/2000/XP/2003/Vista.

    Before migrating to a new version, run MozBackup before you install new version of Firefox or new extensions that are in development. Your backed up profile lets you rollback easily and use on newer version.
