Winamp Global Hotkeys… Useful Feature

Winamp is one mp3 player that always amazed me. I was using this software ever since I had this comp and didn’t even care for the other mp3 players such as Windows Media Player and Musicmatch Jukebox.

Whenever I mention about Winamp to my friends I notice that they are not aware of a very interesting feature that is available in Winamp. Yes it is the Global Hotkeys feature.

Global hotkeys is a feature of Winamp where you can use keyboard shortcuts while running any application such as while typing Word documents , Surfing net or eevn playing certain games.

Its easy to configure. Just go to Preferences–>Global Hotkeys and select the hotkeys you want by enabling the feature.

These are my set of hotkeys and they are working fine for me. What are yours???

Scribefire Updated again with more major fixes.

Latest version of the Scribefire is available for download.

Lot of bug fixes have taken place in this version mainly the Delicious Bookmarks auto-login feature which had several problems is fixed in this version.

Also I had a lot of confusion about the enable ping thing which when checked options were not not visible and when unchecked options were visible. Even that is fixed in this issue.

Image width limitation preference is also added.

HDL Exam in the All India Bandh

Today was my HDL Exam. Also today here was All India Bandh….. There were no buses in the morning from 5am itself. It became very difficult for me to come to college to write my exam.

If I meet the guy who had called for the Bandh I will ask him one question.. “What did you achieve from it?”. Well I know it was in protest of the Amarnath issue. That is why I started looking for Amarnath in the map of Mangalore….. And I found it!!!!! It was somewhere in Kashmir! Well, this is the problem in the places where BJP in power they call strikes for everything!!!!!

I wish I hadn’t voted for BJP a few days back……

GooD Signals from VTU

After a indications of a very tough paper VTU came out with a very easy paper today on Signals and Systems.

I had learnt 5 chapters including LTI systems 1 and 2, Z transforms 1 and 2 and Fundamentals……

These are probably the easiest of the chapters and Fourier 3 units I think is the most difficult thing.

The only one blunder I did in my paper was the the Z transform of  coswt I forgot to put the z^-n sign in the summation. Hence I lost 8 marks on that.

On the whole a very easy paper.

Windows Xp…. Is it the End???

I found this today.

Microsoft Corp is scheduled to stop selling its Windows XP operating system to retailers and major computer makers today, despite protests from a slice of PC users who don’t want to be forced into using XP’s successor, Vista.

Is it the end of the road for Xp? I always liked Xp compared to Vista.(I don’t have enough system requirements to even try it.)

But good news is that Microsoft is providing full technical support through 2009 which means that the Software and Hardware providers will design products for Windows Xp till that time.

Delicious Bookmarks Addon For Firefox

I got its very good addon that was delicious Bookmarks addon for Firefox which was very good. Previously I was using Scribefire for the Delicious Bookmarking but a bug in it forced me to switch to a new addon. Not only adding bookmarks but viewing them and sorting the tags is also an easy process now.
