I was finding a way to embed audio in blogger. And i found www.vudyo.com. I signed up there and created username for me to upload songs. I uploaded my first Audio, a hindi song, very cool and romantic song which was sung by Meiyang Chang in Indian idol. I was searching for that song and i found it, listen to it again and again and uploaded it.

This song 'unkahi' is dedicated to PreranaRight now, i finished embedding it to my blogger post and it is working great. The only flaw i found is there was 'Upload Video' option. I thought 'Upload Audio' would be there but I didn't get it and thought not to bother much. Since my work is done and i can only wish vudyo.com correct such minor issues in coming days. Or may be i'm wrong about that because i need to explore all the contents of this site in time.
Should be 'upload Audio' button, i guess

Today, GaiJatra, a Nepalese festival where procession of cows is marched around the city with all the wicked attires and it's National Holiday too. I don't know much about this festival but i know that it is celebrated in the memory of parents who passed away long time ago. It is also said, one should participate this festival whose family member has passed away within a last one year. Besides, people makes jokes,fun and mock people with their funny and humorous attire and gestures. Girl dresses like a guy, guy dresses like a girl, some where even made-up as a cow. Those participating,splash water to attenders who watches them, they run away and are chased and again this goes on and on. This kindda looks crazy but people enjoy this festival.

Besides, this is the day or say season when major publications publishes humorous colorful magazines satiring all the present context of the country from Politics to students,household,culture everything. Magazines are filled with funny cartoons and wicked articles. This is a funny festival where people tease others and at the same time pay tribute to their passed away one.

These are some funny pictures below: -

This is a newspaper cutting sliced into three images for better viewing. In this, a guy named Sushil Dhungana feels he's robbed by Nepal Telecom.

His telephone bills showed huge amounts when he had not made any calls. He went to make an inquiry and he found out that his calls were made to Spice Nepal numbers(another Privately own service provider in Nepal competing Nepal Telecom). So, he remained inactive(making no calls) that month.

Following month, he didn't call at all except he was to pay ownership charges only. But to his dismay, the bill was even more than those of previous months records. He was very furious,rushed to telecom office, complained and asked about all the call-logs to get in hand but those Telecom people didn't give him any call-logs saying him, they didn't have it.

He doubts their credibility. If they know where and when and to which number we called, then how come they not know that call-log to provide to it's customer when needed. He thinks surely there is something fishy going on. He felt robbed. Today, SPICE NEPAL pvt Limited is providing very quality and affordable mobile phone services to it's customer than Nepal Telecom. May be it's Nepal Telecom's devious marketing strategy to discourage people to use Spice Nepal's service by letting them pay undue amounts just because they made calls from Nepal Telecom number to Spice Nepal numbers. This is the mere translation of this Nepalese News cutting.

As always, Nepal Telecom Sucks!!!

I've found out Nepal Telecom's atrocities before and posted it to my blog at here, here and here too. And, once they plead to help them. I think nobody would be interested to help them. Because they've always looted peoples with unnecessary tax and now there are better service provider than them. Still being nations first Telecom, i expect they really improve unexpectedly. May be one day, i'll be writing in favor of them.

Recently, this small looking Ultra mobile PC(SPH-P9200) has been exhibited in Korea market during there some sort of Tech exhibition known as Samsung 4G Forum 2007.

This little beast has 5 inch touch screen running on Windows XP, with foldable QUERTY keyboard and 30GB HDD. I was astonished when i read that it has Wireless internet support and VOIP phone via Mobile WiMax. I couldn't get my eyes off it. It's damn cool and i wish i play with something like this in coming days.. whaoo

..I've been trying to get all my data transferred to portable harddrive 80 GB(i bought it for NRs 4900). i created two partitions using 'compmgnt.msc' from the Run command in Windows XP. From that computer management, storage--> Disk management and rest was self-clear. I was trying to encrypt my data and i stumbled upon 'TrueCrypt', an opensource Encryption software. There were two options of encryption, one is selecting/naming file, creating a dump storage(volume) and mounting it with the help of 'TrueCrypt' software itself. Second option is to encrypt the entire partition/device. I selected Second Option and right now it's formatting and encrypting that drive uhh second partition. It has been running since 20 minutes and progress bar shows 30 more minutes to goo.. ughhh.. dunno, what's wrong but to me this speed of formatting is very slow. But file transfer was pretty good, 480mbps. I really liked it. I just wanted that if i plug in the drive, to access the encrypted partition it would ask me password else not. Lets see, if it works that way or not.

So many foreigners come here and buys hundreds of movies and softwares worth millions dollar for just mere few thousand bucks. This is not my saying but one of the dealer in MahaBoudha China market says. He told me that when i asked him if he could buy all the DVDs/CDs i bought from him at nominal second hand price. His advise was not bad. I returned back. Despite, there I wanted to burn my own DVD's but that's almost not possible because, it's way too many DVDs that i may end up burning all my data up. So, this portable harddrive came to rescue. lets see it doesn't deceive me when i need some of my softwares back through it.

yesterday, i watched Transformer the movie. My small cousin brothers already have the toys of Megatron, Optimus Prime etc. The movie was damn cool. i really liked all the effects and the story too. i came to know surfing for a while that it's originally comics. Just like spiderman,batman etc. I've become it's fan because of the special effects.

more on next time...

According to Ron White,
"File copying tool is great for large scale copying and will skip files it can't handle without coming to a halt.

You have to copy a few hundred gigs worth of files from one place to another. Because this will take a few hours, you decide to take a long lunch while the files migrate.

Three hours and four banana margaritas later, you return to find the copy operation choked on the tenth file because the file was open on another screen, or had an error, or was read-only. All your computer has been doing while you were gone is display a message asking you what to do about it. This is when we know computers are not like people.

Even the dumbest human would put aside copying that one file until you returned. So will Ycopy. When Ycopy finds a file it can't handle, it makes a note about it, and moves on to the next file. When you get back from lunch, you still have to do something with the recalcitrant files manually, but at least all the other files are taken care of. "

A 17 years old George Hotz showed each and every steps on his blog http://iphonejtag.blogspot.com regarding how to unlock Apple iPhone.

iPhone still is restricted only to US. Since Apple has tie-up only with the American AT&T company,with this guy's unlocked iPhone, it could be used with any other service providers. This means, any network provider can fit inside this much hyped wireless device.

So, Australian Government spent such a huge huge amount on developing a porn filter, they release it's service and within 30 minutes, someone 16 years old breaks all the securities it imposed. The kid, Tom Hood, 16 said after this , "It's a horrible waste of money," to the official body of Australia.

So, he rendered that filter almost useless and still he surfed those nasty sites.

Manhunt is a game with extreme violence,blood and gore. Once, i've watched my brother playing this extremely violent games in PS2 where a player has to execute his enemies and game progresses. Methods of killing included crushing heads,beheading victims and more. Moreover, it's very eerie and creepy feelings to see player hang his enemies' head around his belt like a grenade bomb. That was hellava scary. At that time, i read news about following the same way to execute his own friend and later the murderer kid jailed. Upon inquiry, he told he was inspired by Manhunt games and so the reason was enough to ban this game all over the world in different regions. Rockstar is quite infamous for creating scandalous game titles.


Now, the sequel of Manhunt is ready with the new title called 'Manhunt 2' set to release by the end of this coming October world wide. It'll be available for PS2,PSP and Wii. So, saddd, not for PC though. And it's rated 'M' by ESRB.

A day or two after you have landed in the US, there are some things that need immediate attention and others that can wait. Here is a list of top ten things that you need to do , if you get a job in the US and need to stay here for an extended period of time.

01-Social Security Card-It does not cost anything to get a social security card, however it is impossible to do anything else without it. Your Social Security number is the unique number assigned to you and everything that you do in the US such as applying for a loan, paying taxes etc. Having a card is necessary for everyone.

02-Drivers License-Obtaining a drivers license is important because at drivers license is accepted as a common form of identification in US. There is a vision test, written test and a road test involved in getting a drivers license. Contact the local Department of Motor Vehicles (DMV) office. The whole process may take some time, therefore initiate the process as soon as you can.

03-Opening a bank account-Opening a bank account is important so that you can have a cheque book to pay for your rent, utility bills etc and also for your salary to get credited to your account.

04-Health Insurance-It is extremely important to have your health insurance as soon as possible. Medical bills are steep in this country and not having a health insurance can lead to a lot of problems. Your employer should be providing you health insurance if that is the case make sure you have it as soon as you can. Some employers expect you to get your own insurance and expect you to pass the bill on to the employer in which case you need to get one immediately.

05-Credit Card-It helps to have a credit card in this country, however since you will not have any credit history in the country, it is not easy to get one. Some credit card agencies will ask you to deposit some money and issue you a credit card against the money. Even if that is the case, get the credit card so that you can start establishing your credit in the country.

06-Calling Card-If you are new to the country, you are going to miss friends and family back home. Look for calling cards to dial Nepal. Calling cards allow you the flexibility to dial from anywhere and also since you pay the money upfront, you are not likely to run into a situation where you are caught unawares as to how much money you are spending on your phone calls. Shop around for these cards, the best place to get them is in the Indian grocery store or visit site like www.nepalnews.com classified for cheap calling card in Nepal.

07-Apartment hunting-Now that you are slowly settling in, you need an apartment. Start hunting for apartments, most Amercian grocery stores have freely booklets available on apartments in the region. These booklets provide all the information that you need, shortlist the ones that meet your financial needs, your location requirements etc.

08-Find an Indian Grocery shop-Finding an Indian Grocery shop nearby is very helpful if you plan to cook Indian food at home and if you need a calling card to call Nepal

09-Apply for an account with a Credit Union-It is easy to get car loans from Credit Unions, if you intend buying a car in the near future, it is worthwhile to open an account with a Credit Union. Even though there are several advertisements on getting car loans at low rates, with no credit history in the country, it is not easy to get any of these loans.

10-Get a telephone connection-While calling cards are good for calling Nepal, there are deals with leading telephone companies such as AT& T, MCI etc for making calls to Neal. Also a telephone connection will help in getting in touch with friends and family within the United States.

One user said," IT WORKS! Thirty seconds after installation, I was enjoying the first truly comfortable night in my office.

Here in the midwest, we are troubled .. nay, tormented by insects so tiny they are called no-see-ums (biting midges). They arrive in spring and remain until the first heavy frost.

Attracted to light, the critters will wiggle through the smallest window screen fabric and navigate spaces between closed windows. Insecticides have not helped; mosquito repellent has not helped. You, on the other hand, have offered the first viable solution!

BLESS YOU .. I can finally enjoy warm summer nights again. "

A tribute to the great king of rock n roll 'Elvis Aaron Presley' - R. I . P . I was supposed to post this few days ago but i was going through under big pressure and depression due to hell of a works.
I've been his big fan since the time i've known his music and songs, precisely since my childhood. I came to know about his songs, when my grandmother used to play his songs and used to make me dance on the rhythm. I enjoyed and i insisted only on his music ever since. Then i joined college and i started to find about the music i used to listen. Officially, i found the name Elvis Presley as the man of voice behind the magnetic music and songs. And, i started collecting his albums , more and more, i Watched couple of his movies and i read all his biographies. His life is truly inspiring and how he presented himself to the world. Starting as a struggler to fame-name charismatic life, he has everything to be inspired of. When i read about other of his fans, who still don't believe he's dead. I'm not one of them. Because, he had been dead for 30 years and it's the reality, bitter reality. But still, he's alive deep inside all of us who thinks he's a great human being and a great idol. I feel glad when people impersonate him, i can't do that because of my social structure but surely i would love to visit his home, graceland one day at my own expense.

Elvis Presley was born in Jan,8,1935 and he was found dead at his own home at graceland in Aug,16,1977. During the time of his death, it was really shocking to find out that he was badly addicted to some sort of prescribed drugs that led him to death. Whatever, he will be my role model/idol for ever. His songs are so great, so melodious and so rocking. Needless to say, before him, there was nothing like sensational music. Even John Lennon said once, "Before Elvis, there was nothing." It won't be a lie if i write here, Elvis Presley is daddy of all rock music today including today's various genres like blues,metal,RnB,pop,hiphop,etc.

I had been visiting www.funmaja.com for all my mobile phone stuffs. Be it ringtones,games,screensavers,movie clips or whatever it takes for mobile phones, www.funmaja.com was my favourite hangout. This site is brought to you by a group of Pakistani youngsters. All the contents out there are not for legal distribution but anyone can go and download the softwares,screensavers,games,ringtones for free.

Now, if i'm not wrong the same guys brought another site www.songs.pk. I don't know when this site is up and right now, feeling pretty lazy to 'whois' on them either. The only purpose of this site is to feed you with the latest bollywood songs. Go there and dig in as much as possible latest bollywood songs. I'm not promoting illegal activities and if you really like songs out there, you should purchase them. Though, you can't easily download songs from there. They've put the songs in embedded format that means as soon as you click the song title, it starts to play off the browser using audio web plugins(i.e quicktime plugin). So, once the song is buffered, it's ready to listen. But do you know how to download songs??
Song buffering


There are 3 methods to save multimedia contents:

i) by accessing cache folder of browsers

Normally, when we finished watching or listening to online multimedia contents, we think it's gone but actually, it's there temporarily in cache folders of the browsers. So, we can retrieve them anytime. If you watch Youtube video or listen to any multimedia files, all those buffered contains sits in cache folder.

In Internet Explorer, it's easy to download the multimedia contents that have been watched on browser.
- Go to 'Temporary Internet Files' folder like below(Note the folder 'User', it could be your account name, 'User' is my default, since i've no account created for myself on my XP. Replace 'User' with your account name in XP)

-Right click the 'Temporary Internet Files' and you'll see there is no 'search' on it. So, cache folder is not searchable. I've listened to song "chake_de.mp3". So, i would access the folder and manually search and select the song . Then copy it to some safe location on my harddrive.

In Mozilla Firefox, it's hard to trace the files you've viewed on browsers. In the address bar, type "about:cache" and hit enter key. You'll see the information about cache folder. Follow it. Once you reach the cache folder of firefox, you'll have to make guess work about your possible multimedia content by yourself. I downloaded 'chak_de.mp3' and i estimated it is about 4 mb. So, on the cache folder, check the file size, once confirmed,copy it to safe location and change the file extention to mp3. That's it.


ii) by using Download Managers

While your song is being buffered, check the internet browser for file location immediately. Copy that location, use any download manager, and give the URL address on it and download it off the Download manager. I used Download Accelerator plus(DAP) and my song instantly started to get downloaded. As soon as, the download started in DAP , i closed the one that is being buffered.



iii) by using Quicktime plugin itself

If your song is being buffered, as soon as it is completed, check the right-most icon. Click it and select 'save as source', give the location and your file is saved. I think this is the easiest option if your plugins give you the save option else you've to follow the step i) or step ii) accordingly.

Everyone knows that the internet is a treasure chest for software, music and videos, but did you know you can find comic books on the web as well? There is a large group of people that scan and upload comics both old and new. This can be a revisiting of one's childhood or the beginning of a new hobby. Finding these is as simple as pulling up Google and letting the hunt begin.

Most comics on the internet have a .cbr or .cbz extension for use with a digital comic reader like CDisplay (Windows) or FFView (MacOS). However you can decompress the files and read them in any image viewer. Simply rename the cbr extension to rar or the cbz extension to zip and decompress with an application such as 7-Zip or WinRAR.

To look for these files, use these searches:

Google: -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" comics cbr
or -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" comics cbz

The extension is sometimes left alone and kept as a rar or zip file.

To look for these files, use these searches:

Google: -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" comics rar
or -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" comics zip

For title specific searches, substitute the title for the word comics in your search.

Examples:
-inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" spider-man cbr
and -inurl:htm -inurl:html intitle:"index of" "Last modified" simpsons cbr

While some directories will only contain a few comics, there are others that will keep you reading for weeks and weeks.

Referring to a news by National News Agency,Nepal, few Newspaper daily made headlines regarding 'Charge Nokia battery using Two peepal leaves'.According to this hoax, using two peepal leaves and attaching it to the charging nodes of nokia battery, would charge the battery within 10 seconds. I see no botanical explanation how is it possible. I've read some facts about bio-gas,that's proven and practical things. But regarding this
hoax, i don't know why people are not using their common sense. Those unprocessed peepal leaves would do no way the miracle.

To my dismay, some popular blogs of Nepal have emphasized on this topic. May be researchers are not interested on this type of hoax or may be not releasing any Public notice because of falling prey to such hoax. There is no scientific reason at all if it's possible. If it would work that way, i'm sure, a mobile phone company would loose a part of their mobile accessory manufacturing profits.

Lastly, don't fall for such hoax. If you've tried or experimented using peepal leaves to charge your Nokia Cell phone, then i don't blame you. First time mistake is human nature, Second time committing mistake is stupid and third time committing mistake is 100% fool stamp. Don't be a fool.
---------------------------------------------
update - Aug 18th 2007:
Recently, I sent an inquiry to Nokia Care, and i was notified that all the informations are biased and untrue. Hence, this misleading procedures of charging Nokia Phone have been officially contradicted by Nokia Communications.

Yesterday, i was watching an Indian News channel Star News and i was astonished to find out that all the Nokia phones using battery with BL-5C label are at high risk of explosion at any time due to heat or while charging or while talking. Nokia has found this defect on all the batteries manufactured during Dec 2005 to Nov 2006. I just checked battery on my Nokia and it's BL-5C, i'm at high risk.

What about yours?? have you read news about mobile explosion, of course.

The following is the Nokia's official press release on this regard:


Dear Nokia Customer,

This is a product advisory for the Nokia-branded BL-5C battery manufactured by Matsushita Battery Industrial Co. Ltd. of Japan between December 2005 and November 2006. This product advisory does not apply to any other Nokia battery.

Nokia has identified that in very rare cases the affected batteries could potentially experience over heating initiated by a short circuit while charging, causing the battery to dislodge. Nokia is working closely with relevant local authorities to investigate this situation.

Nokia has several suppliers for BL-5C batteries that have collectively produced more than 300 million BL-5C batteries. This advisory applies only to the 46 million batteries manufactured by Matsushita between December 2005 and November 2006. There have been approximately 100 incidents of over heating reported globally. No serious injuries or property damage have been reported.

Consumers with a BL-5C battery subject to this advisory should note that all of the approximately 100 incidents have occurred while charging the battery. According to Nokia's knowledge this issue does not affect any other use of the mobile device. Concerned consumers may want to monitor a mobile device while charging that contains a BL-5C battery subject to this product advisory.

While the occurence in the BL-5C batteries produced by Matsushita in the time-period specified is very rare, for consumers wishing to do so, Nokia and Matsushita offer to replace for free any BL-5C battery subject to this product advisory.

The BL-5C batteries which are subject to the product advisory were used with the following Nokia models or separately as accessories:

Nokia 1100, Nokia 1100c, Nokia 1101, Nokia 1108, Nokia 1110, Nokia 1112, Nokia 1255, Nokia 1315, Nokia 1600, Nokia 2112, Nokia 2118, Nokia 2255, Nokia 2272, Nokia 2275, Nokia 2300, Nokia 2300c, Nokia 2310, Nokia 2355, Nokia 2600, Nokia 2610, Nokia 2610b, Nokia 2626, Nokia 3100, Nokia 3105, Nokia 3120, Nokia 3125, Nokia 6030, Nokia 6085, Nokia 6086, Nokia 6108, Nokia 6175i, Nokia 6178i, Nokia 6230, Nokia 6230i, Nokia 6270, Nokia 6600, Nokia 6620, Nokia 6630, Nokia 6631, Nokia 6670, Nokia 6680, Nokia 6681, Nokia 6682, Nokia 6820, Nokia 6822, Nokia 7610, Nokia N70, Nokia N71, Nokia N72, Nokia N91, Nokia E50, Nokia E60

This product advisory applies also to the following accessories:

Nokia Wireless GPS Module LD-1W, Nokia Wireless GPS Module LD-3W

“Nokia” and “BL-5C” are printed on the front of the battery. On the back of the battery, the Nokia mark appears at the top, and the battery identification number (consisting of 26 characters) is found at the bottom. If the battery identification number does not contain 26 characters, it is not subject to this product advisory.

If you are interested to know if your battery is part of this product advisory, please follow the two steps below:

1) Switch off your mobile device and check the battery model. If your battery is not a BL-5C model, you are not included in this product advisory and your product will not be replaced.

2) If your battery is a BL-5C model, remove the battery and check the 26-character identification number from the back of the battery. Enter the identification number in the field below and you will be advised if your battery may be replaced.

-------------------------------------------------------
To enter the identification number, please click below:
http://www.nokia.com/batteryreplacement/en/

-------------------------------------------------------
And, if you want it to get replaced, send your defective battery to their head office via mail or the nearest nokia dealers. We know, in Nepal, we don't have authorized Nokia dealers. So, the only option is to send them via mail.

ONE MORE THING, not all BL-5C's are 'time-bombs'. Even though you've BL-5C's and upon entering 26 digit number in above link, you may get a notice something like this below:

"Product Advisory: Nokia BL-5C battery

Your battery is not among those manufactured by Matsushita between December 2005 and November 2006 and your battery will not be replaced."

Besides, what is BL-5C?
The BL-5C is one of 14 different battery models used in Nokia products. As with many of its components, Nokia has a multi-supplier strategy for batteries, including the BL-5C. Matsushita is one of several suppliers Nokia has for the BL-5C battery.
