Unexpected publicity.....

When Shanker called to ask is it ok to give my number to Ajith "THE HINDU" correspondent, I didn't thought that it will give me this much amount of publicity... But anyways... 40 -45 mins talk with him [ajith] proved useful to both of us, my misconceptions about "Opera" were changed. And I got a good amount of publicity in and out of the campus..( he..he even though its not for the first time).. my special thanx to dennis ( a.k.a THADIYAN) for generating interest in me to chrome.,to ashish for the night out download of chrome..and to shanker for introducing me to ajith...

here is the link to the news

Must checkout link chrome book......

Hey folks...

Its been a long time since I have updated my blog,now is the time of exams nd I don't feel like studying. So thought to write something about my always handy firefox addons...ya I am a great fan of firefox. the first thing that I will do when I got a net connected system will be installing latest version of firefox..
So let me introduce few of my favorite addons..

(1) Downthemall

A great download manager for firefox. Give you all the functionality of other download managers like pausing and resuming, speed acceleration etc.. It have some extra features like download all the links in page ( very handy if you want to download all the pdf files in page).
Its free of cost, available for both windows and linux. The speed acceleration is really good, really comparable to DAP and IDM...

(2) NoScript

One of the most popular add-ons of firefox. It will protect you from most of the malicious sites in the wild wild internet, by blocking sites from running scripts on the browser. Essential for you if you are keen about your privacy. You can allow which all sites are allowed to run scripts by clicking "options" tab that will popup whenever a site try to run a script.


(3) Adblock

The great ad blocker, blocks most of the flash adds. However I have found yet another use for this add-on, when you want to download a flash object or video that is embedded in a web page this add-on will come handy. After installation, adblock will display a "block" box on each of the blockable items be it flash, video etc... You can click on this box to get the URL of that object. use this URL in downthemall to download whatever you want.
