Phew!

Well i was trying to put some songs in my Nokia 6275, when it refused to accept my videos. I had earlier put the same videos in a Nokia 3230, but i guess the 'attitude' has spread in territories, unknown.
I had some flv videos , i had downloaded from Youtube. I normally convert them with A-one video converter, into 3gp
(the format most commonly used in mobile phone), which i got freely from this site called Give away of the day. But it refused to accept files with messages like, unable to open file, and something about file format.
So after googling for some time i got this software called Freez Flv to Avi converter and another called Apex 3gp converter.
Thing is i first converted the flv videos to avi, as apex cannot accept flv, and then converted the avi to 3gp
Well Happyies ending, i can now play my video properly.

Rey- Where are you?

The other day i was just watching WWE^® on TV when i remembered- hey were is Rey Mysterio? Ok so he was injured but that is so long ago, i think it was even before John Cena got injured. Well i miss Rey's high flying stunts, especially the Monkey Twist and 619. Yow Rey, come on man we want you back


Here are some quick facts obout Rey:
1) Rey Mysterio means ‘King of Mystery‘ in Spanish.
2) His real name is Óscar Gutiérrez y Rubio, and his other ring names are Rey Misterio, Jr. and Rey Mysterio, Jr.
3) His name honours his uncle and trainer, Rey Misterio, Sr.
4) Mysterio is famed for employing aerial techniques in the ring and holds a place in the wrestling history books for winning the WCW/WWE Cruiserweight championship more times than anyone else (eight times).
5) Mysterio won the January 2006 Royal Rumble in Miami, Florida. He is both the lightest and shortest wrester to have won this competition.

Fifa series rules

Yes i have just come after playing a custom tournament in FIFA 05. Yup, you heard it right. 05.

Well 05 or 08 the excitement is the same. A good cyber-footballer would any day go hands down for the PES series(which also, is awesome), but i think both are almost the same.
I played a cup in which i played for Manchester United( I'm an avid Man U fan) and faced Newcastle United in the final.He He, funny but I won by 11-0. Ho ho great fun.
Well i'm dissapointed at Mumbai's loss yesterday. Well lets see what will happen today. Hoping for a chennai loss today(He!He!!)
Regards.

Mumbai Indians-All but lost

Mumbai Indians faced thier 2nd defeat in 3 matches yesterday as they lost to Rajasthan Royals by 5 wickets. It was a shameful loss considering that they had as much as 32 runs to defend in the last over.
Dilhara Fernando was given the ball in the last over. Having 14 runs to defend he made a sorry state of affairs for himself by giving away a six in the third ball. Of the last ball RR needed 3 to win. Again Fernando did a sin(yup, you heard it right), he bowled a wide. Two runs of the last ball, two misfields after the ball was delivered and Rajasthan had a record for 7 wins on home turf.
Delhi are through to the finals. Mumbai need to win thier last match and hope Chennai lose in their penultimate match to go to the finals.

Mumbai Indians face do or die

Currently i'm watching the match between Mumbai Indians and Rajasthan Royals and all is not well.
Mumbai Indians who are facing a do-or die situation need to win this one to survive in the tournament. Currently somwhat 10 overs has finished and only like 80-odd runs have been scored, with Sanath Jaysuriya and Sachin back in the dug-out. आला रे बाबा, शामत आला. बर खेला नहीं तर असा होंनर मुम्बई इन्दिंस- गेला रे.(Alaa re baba, shaamat alaa. Bar khela nahin tar asaa honnar Mumbai Indians- gela re.)

Ah! So today I'm sitting here, (not hatching eggs) enjoying myself with my PC. It was yesterday that i removed one heck of a virus that blocked my anti virus as well as showed some stupid message, that it had infected my computer.
On doing some research i found out that the virus was recognized on 14th of May, yup, the very day my PC got infected with it. Oh the trouble it gave me. It cost me to loose on some songs of my friend as he was scared his pen drive would wash out (and rightfully so).
My god i couldn't believe my computer was so halka (he he). Safe to say that my computer is regularly updated to the most latest virus uh.. anti-virus

Mumbai Vacation

Well as my vacation is going on,(yes i'm bored, to a certain extent) we planned to go to Kalam beach near Nalla Supara.
In the morning we set out, in the way we visited the Church in Naigaon This church has a very similar design to the church in Manarcadu in Kerala. We attended the mass over there. We even had our lunch over there, as there is a offering by a member every week, The members of this church come from some distance away, hence it would be tiring to go hame and prepare lunch, hence the offering. The choir in this church was sweet.
We then went to our aunt's place who would take us for our trip.We rested there for some time. Somewhere around 5pm we set out for our journey.
Our journey was pleasant for most of the time. With trees on both sides of the road and small houses lining up the sides of the road it had to be good. But then came the horror. We reached a junction called from where we take a turn down a narrow road to the beach.










This narrow road of about 2kms was one of the horrifying roads i have ever traveled. Two vehicles travelling side by side was a strict no-no. At one juncture when we had to give side to an
oncoming vehicle, our car nearly slipped in the marshy land at the side, whose surface was at least 2ft below the road level.
Well any how we got through it and we reached Kalam beach. Unlike the beach in Uttan which has fishing, this beach was only meant for enjoyment. We spend some time in the beach, wetted
our feet etc. We had so much fun even in that as we had visited a beach nearly after 2 years.I even took the car for a spin on the beach. It was great fun.












As the roads were narrow we had to return early. On the road we again came to a jam. So by the time we reached our next destination it had become quite dark.
So our next destinstion was one of Shivaji's fort near Vasai. As it was quite dark, people had left the fort and were waiting for a bus. Still we went in to explore the fort and mind you that was some feeling. It was like some mystic feel- calm, quite, peaceful. So good. But at the same time it was a little spooky. But then too , it was worth all our efforts.






We set out for our home with good memories, and that bought an end to our 1 day picnic to Mumbai.

So today we are going to see about this free software that is an anti-spyware called SpyBot- Search & Destroy(v 1.5 1.19.) Another free anti-spyware is Lavasoft's Ad-Aware SE Free edition (Information/Download )However it uses way too much system resources and is sluggish.But it does more than a decent job of scanning and removing spywares.
One of the best free tools around, it is ranked in the top ten in download.com's most popular software.
Installation of the software is a breeze. On startup we can see four buttons to the left-Search&Destroy, Recovery ,Immunize & Update. On pressing the Search & Destroy tab the software begins to scan the system. Unlike other antispyware software, Spybot-S&D does not show which file it is scanning at present. Instead it displays the spyware or adware it is searching for. The scanning can be stopped any time, but cannot be resumed. After the scan SpyBot asks you wether to repair any spyware if/when found. You can create a back-up in case you are not sure if deleting the spyware is right for your system.
If any harm has been done to your computer and if you have back-uped your system you can undo the changes using the Recovery button.
SpyBot includes an "Immunize" function, which is a long list of webpages, URLs, and domains that are dirty with spyware. If you browse, get redirected, or popped-up to one of those webpages, SpyBot will keep the webpage from loading onto your computer -- all you get is an empty browser window. Whatever you were looking for, if it gets blocked, it's your chance to get it elsewhere, less hazardously.
The Update button allows you to get the latest defination files which are released mastly once in a week.
SpyBot has another function that's worthwhile. They have "TeaTimer," which monitors your registry. If anything tries to change the registry, TeaTimer stops the change, and asks your permission to accept or deny as you see fit.Since the registry is unfathomable to most of us, it is a favorite target of spyware installations. At least, with SpyBot's TeaTimer, changes to the registry become conscious decisions instead of being performed behind your back, even if you don't exactly understand the function. Getting a TeaTimer alert by complete surprise -- such as while browsing the web -- would be a definite reason to deny the change. Getting a TeaTimer alert while changing your wallpaper would be definite reason to accept the change.
The Settings tab allows you to modify a number of settings.This can be seen only if the advanced mode is activated. You can activate it by clicking Mode>Advanced on the top of the window.
Spybot is a software that is being run by Donations and is hence a freeware. As it is not supported like Ad-Aware, which has a paid version as well it is not a software that will totally spyware-proof your PC. Hence my rating would be 7/10. If you can please donate for the owner.

Note:Unlike anti-virus software that you can't run more than one at a time (such as running Norton and McAfee at the same time), it is possible and it is recommended that you run an assortment of anti-spyware at the same time, each running in the background.

Freeware:CCleaner Well from today onwards I'll try to update this blog regularly. So today i'm going to say about this free software called CCleaner.
Well basically it is a tool which allows you to remove the thrash from your PC. It is a super easy software, which novice users wouldn't find hard at all. At the beginning when the application starts, There are four icons to its left side,- Cleaner, Registry, Tools, Options. By default the cleaner option starts. By pressing on the Analyze option, the software begins to analyze the amount of space it can clear. By pressing the Run Cleaner option it begins to clear out all the junk data in your PC. You can select the type of files as well as application that the CCleaner should analyze and delete. Note that the CCleaner also deletes the files in your recycle bin. So be a little careful. One of the main reasons a computer becomes slow is there are many invalid registry entries, mostly left over by uninstalling another software. Well, the CCleaner gives you the function to delete such entries. On pressing the Scan For Issues button, it starts to scan your registry for obsolete entries. If it gets any such entries it allows you to delete them by pressing the Fix Selected Issues button. One of its remarkable function is to backup the registry , before making any fixes in it. In the Tools window, you can Uninstall application you don't want.(But personally, I think Revo Installer does a better work.) The Startup tab shows you programs that load when you boot your computer. This is a very good function, as sometimes when you uncheck a programme in msconfig it may still load. In CCleaner it allows you to delete the the programme entry totally. In the Options tab you can change settings for the CCleaner. All in all a very good software that is free. My rating would be 8/10. Thank you. Download this software from here If you liked/disliked my review or make any suggestion/review request please comment.
