AutoHotkey is an open source macro-making utility for Windows that can automate almost anything by sending keystrokes and mouse clicks. It can also create hotkeys for keyboard, mouse, joystick, and handheld remote controls. Similarly, it can create abbreviations that expand as you type them (AutoText). Finally, it makes it easy to create your own graphical user interfaces and custom menus.
Its a light weight program with excellent options to automate the routine work.
Your friend updates his/her blog often and you want to read it as soon as possible. How do u know whether they posted anything new in to the blog or not? If it is one blog u can visit it directly and check it. But if u read 20 blogs, its a bit time consuming task.
There is a solution for this. Blog readers.... :-)
Many desktop and online tools are available which will monitor your interested blogs and notify when there is an update. i want to give a brief idea about these tools.
I like photobucket for bulk uploading and downloading, picasa web for upload and download few images.
A browser (like ie, firefox) flock is available for uploading photos to photobucket, flickr. It has many other features like easy blogging etc. For the list of services offered by flock, click here.
Photobucket has a special feature(I am not sure, this any other image hosting site has) that, It has the feature to generate html code for the photos u selected.
Login to Photobucket.com and upload some photos. Ur photos will appear some thing like this.
select the images u want to show in ur site, click on "generate HTML". Photobucket generates code for u.
This is very simple way of publishing ur photos in ur website.
your website name will be ur gmail id followed by googlepages.com for example, gmail id : suman.knr your website name is : http://suman.knr.googlepages.com (Remember, no www)
if u want to chane the site name, click on the "Create a new site" (located top-mid of the above page)
click on the create a new page, it asks for a name for the page and opens the page for editing
u can change the look and layout (it is located right hand side, slightly top side of the page).
A tool box is located at the left hand side of the page. Use these tools to make ur page more attractive.
"edit html" is located in the bottom - right side of the page. With which u can edit the html of particular section of the page.
Click on Images, to upload and use images in the webpage. But the drawback is, there is no mechanism to maintain the images in folders or groups. If u upload many images, it will be a bit difficult to manage in future. For more information on image uploading, click here.
Write the content what ever u want, click "publish" to save the changes and make it visible to others.
Now your own webpage is ready. my website address is http://suman.knr.googlepages.com, u might want to have a site like www.sumanb.com or www.sumanb.net or etc. ( I mean with out specifying the site where u created ur page).
For this, u have some redirection sites. With which u can make ur website address as www.sumanb.co.nr or www.sumanb.tk* The registration for redirection is very simple. type www.yourdesiredsite.tk or www.yourdesiredsite.co.nr, it will show wether the site is registered or not. If the site is not registered, u can registered by filling your details.
* ".tk "site shows some adds on top of ur page. ".co.nr" site does not show any adds and has some extra features.
Synergy lets you easily share a single mouse and keyboard between multiple computers with different operating systems, each with its own display, without special hardware. It's intended for users with multiple computers on their desk since each system uses its own monitor(s).
Redirecting the mouse and keyboard is as simple as moving the mouse off the edge of your screen. Synergy also merges the clipboards of all the systems into one, allowing cut-and-paste between systems. Furthermore, it synchronizes screen savers so they all start and stop together and, if screen locking is enabled, only one screen requires a password to unlock them all.
It works with Windows, Linux, Unix, Mac operating system. It has the ability to share mouse and keyboard on many machines though it runs on different OS.
Set up is very simple and configuring is also very simple.
Google is tremendously increasing the applications. It designed a calculator in the search bar itself. When you need some calculation urgently, you need not search for calculator. All the calculations can be done with google.com
When you need some calculations urgently, dont waste your time to search your calculator or no need to download and install a calculator application. Go to google and type what ever the calculations you need. It is very easy.
An excellent addon for firefox for internet browsing lovers StumbleUpon.
Idea is simple but extremely good.
I will try to explain in my words. First, you need to install StumbleUpon, give your email id to store ur preferences.
It gives a list of topics, select your choices. I recommend you to select very few that you are really interested.
Click on save. on the toll bar click stumble
You will get a web page from your preferred choices.
There is a drop down menu on the tool bar showing ALL.
Click ALL and select a topic for example, "Internet Tools". From now on if you press stumble, you will see a web page from that "Internet Tools".
It also provides option to include web pages to StumbleUpon. open the web page you wanted to include in stumbleupon. click i like it button on stumble tool bar. It will recognize that and add it to your interested sites. It will show that page to others which matches to the type of the topic.
