When all my Northie friends were making fun of me about the Tamilians' "Kabali" fever, I was mouring the fact that Kickass torrents was shutdown. It had been a wonderful source of software, tutorials, comics besides the usual movie downloads and porn stuffs. I remember stumbling upon Kickass torrents in 2011 while searching for Amar Chitra Katha comics. Till then I was  with Picktorrents as a novice to the torrent downloads. Once I got into using Kickass, I never looked outside for source of torrents. For the past 6 years I visited KickAss Torrents twice a day religiously.

The love for my kid Buttu is making me learn some new things. I learnt about mass downloading the videos from the Youtube channel when he wanted the videos from Fun2Draw channel and it helped a lot in honing his drawing skills. Now he is crazy about the Sita (played by Madirakshi Mundle) and drawing only Sita all these days. So I wanted to get him the episodes of "Seethaiyin Raman" for his offline viewing. Had they been hosted in Youtube I would have downloaded like a charm, but these days all the Star TV's episodes are hosted in their own video channel called Hotstar. There was no browser plugin to download those videos and after some Google search I came across this script to download the Hotstar videos. Like I care for you all by sharing whatever good things I get, this tutorial is also for you all.

WiFi File Transfer is a free Android app to transfer files from Android phone to PC and from PC to Android phone over wifi. You can easily access all the files stored on your SD card. Just install the app on your Android phone and then launch the app to get the browser link. Now enter the same browser link in your PC browser. You will see all your SD card data. From there you can easily transfer data from PC to Android or vice-versa. The app also tells you the device status which includes total space available and battery level. You can also delete and move any file and you can even create a new directory on your SD card.

I seriously thanks for the few souls who checked in to my almost abandoned website. Some of them might have noticed that I had moved on to Wordpress for a brief period and now I am back to Joomla again. Over the period of time I had been concentrating on the "look" of the site rather than concentrating on the "content" despite knowing well that "substance" is what drives people to any website, not the layout. I started taking components and templates from various "nulled scripts" site again knowing that "there is no free lunches" and there will definitely be any hack on the scripts through code injection. I was not serious about them because I don't have any sensitive information like Credit Card or Bank details on my site. But that affected the SEO maintenance badly. Whenever I check my webmaster tools, I get lot of malicious links like "http://www.maheshwaran .com /calipsy_pharma" which is automatically generated by the malicious codes.

As you all know that any gmail user can login to YouTube and upload their videos for sharing with the world, there are zillions and zillions of videos available on YouTube. Sometimes we might think of downloading all the videos uploaded by a user or playlist or the subchannel of an user. I use the "VideoDownloader" addon of the Mozilla Firefox to download the videos. However more the number of videos, more tedious and cumbersome it becomes.

Since I spend my prime time in office and travel, blogging suffered but became active in Facebook thanks to the mobile integration. On searching similar stuff for Joomla, I came across Joooid - an Android platform for Joomla but it didn't support K2. So the content migration took a while and a learning experience. Hoping to be active as much as possible.... we

JaxtrSMSஎன்னடா இந்த பையன் அடுத்த Android post போட்டிருக்கான்... அவன் கிட்டே smartphone இருக்குறதை காமிக்கிறானோன்னு நினைச்சுக்காதீங்க... இன்னைக்கு காலையிலே ரொம்ப யதேச்சையா இந்த Android app-ஐ பார்த்தேன். Deccan Herald பேப்பர்ல ஒரு மூலையிலே குட்டியூண்டா Hotmail founder-ஆன சபீர் பாட்டியா தான் புதிதாக உருவாக்கிய JaxtrSMS என்ற அவருடைய free SMS application நல்ல வரவேற்பை பெரும் என்று நம்புவதாக சொல்லியிருந்தார். நமக்கு தான் Android, application-ங்குற வார்த்தைகளை பார்த்தாலே கை உதற ஆரம்பிச்சிடுமே. உடனே எனது mobile-ல் download செய்துபார்த்தேன். சரி! அது என்ன JaxtrSMS?

Monitor Power OffThis small utility will be very useful for those having their laptops. A small issue with the laptops is that you can't control power for the monitor seprately. If you use your laptops for downloading large files, to listen music in background when you are engaged in some other work, then you might have felt the monitor unnecessarily taking the power. I tried to use a customised power plan to switch off the monitor but it switches on the monitor even on a slight tilt or accidental hit on the keyboard. Today I came across this small application which I found extremely useful, so I couldn't resist sharing this application with you all. You can download this very small (32 KB) utility from here. No need of installing. Just double click it, it is ON. You can add this to Windows start up menu by pressing the [+] button and remove it from auto start up by clicking the [-]. The best part is that immediately switches off the monitor while the ongoing activities keep continuing on the background and doesn't switch on again on the light / minor sensory movements in the mousepad. So I am sure that this tiny utility will be definitely useful for my laptop user friends.

I always believe that we everybody have something intresting to share with and some of us are gifted with the ability to tell it in an intresting manner, so I ask some of my close friends to start blogging. Anybody who looks life & things in a keen / detailed perspective, can become a good blogger and I always cajole those friends to come out and blog. And to much of my hapiness I have few people whom I can say that I was somehow instrumental in making them write down their thoughts. Once they start and when things go well, then their blogs take their own course. When I used to say Vijay that he can blog, he used to scream "Me & Blogging?", now he is maintaining his recipe blogs, ofcourse in the field of his interest. Another person whom I wish should have started much earlier was Ananya. Her emails are a delight to read and she reads so much of blogs that it reflects in her words. I always used to say that she can be a good blogger because of her interesting perspective towards life. It is better late than never and akka started her blogging journey today - Ananya Thinks. Bala Ramanan, my brother-in-law also started blogging when I used to say that his choice of words are amazing. I don't know whether I had any part in his occassional blogging but "Annamalai" was generous in giving me credit by mailing that when I commented on his post on "Chitthirappavai", he got inspired that somebody is reading his posts also, that he started blogging seriously after that incident. I just hope that these people should continue their blogging for years to come. There are few more friends of mine - well read and with beautiful outlook towards life, so I hope to see them on the blogsphere soon. But I have a regret that I couldn't get (Late) Vaithy into blogging because he could have chewed many of the current bloggers if he was into serious blogging. If any of you are new to blogging and wish to share your articles, I encourage you to post in my site, ofcourse with all the credits given to you only.-{oshits} readers

Recently when I wanted to upload the home video of a family function, I had a problem in uploading the same in the web for my friends abroad. My old favourite video host "Google Videos" doesn't accept new videos anymore after it took over YouTube. The very famous 'YouTube' is limitting the length of the videos to maximum of 10 minutes. So splitting the video to 10 minute clips doesn't seem intresting because over the period of time, the viewers might lose intrest. So I searched for some more video hosts, who can meet my criteria - support longer videos, larger file sizes and option of downloading the videos for offline viewing. Finally I zeroed on (i) Yahoo Videos, (ii) Vimeo (iii) Veoh. Among these I am pretty impressed on Vimeo and Veoh and this blog is about Veoh majorly.

A Sorry to all those who downloaded the vEmotion crack from my previous post as that cracked file was an older version of trial software with a recording capability of only 5 minutes. On the comment of Ananya, I tried to record through Audacity, but the voice from the other side of the speaker were hardly audible. So I had no other option than resuming the search for the suitable cracked software again. Atlast from the vast rapidshare library, I stumbled upon on another software called MX Skype Recorder. I initially came across this software but I thought it was for Skype only, so I didn't try. But it is capable of recording the conversations through any VOIP client. This link which I am posting is working fine and I made it sure 100% working before pasting the same only after confirming.

Hai Guys, my search for "logging" the voice chats was not over then but while searcging for the same I came across this intresting piece of news about Gtalk. So thought of sharing with you all.

Google Talk is one of my favourite online messengers. But like other web messengers  it does not allow to use more than one user ID and chat using both user IDs at the same time. You have to use one Gtalk user ID at a time, sign out and then login with another user ID. Since I have two Gtalk user names, I was always looking to get logged in with my two user names at the same time. And finally I found a trick to use multiple Gtalk IDs at the same time. You can open two Gtalk messengers, login with two different IDs and talk at the same time from a single computer. (Courtesy: SolidBlogger)
