what is RSS

When we browse web ,sometimes we see a buttun type red coloured icon written RSS on it at the bottom right of the browser.Although browsing net is my major passtime i never knew what does tht RSS word indicate for a long time.
Although there are many implications of the word RSS,'ReallySimpleSyndication' gives pretty simple and meaningful implication of it.When we browse through lot of web pages,getting updated with the required sites can be a cumbersome job otherwise.Plainly saying it helps you in staying uptodate in a simple manner.
Not many sites provide RSS facility but the number is pretty much increasing.To use RSS facility we may need newsreaders.I used avant browser for some time and it got some good RSS feeds by default and adding RSS feeds to the browser was pretty simple.

Sally’s right, lovers can be friends

excerpt frm daily 'Telegraph'

It is one of the most hotly debated questions about relationships, famously posed in the film When Harry Met Sally: can men and women be just good friends?

According to the neurotic Sally, played by Meg Ryan, they can, but Billy Crystal’s Harry insists that platonic friendships are doomed because physical attraction always interferes. “Men and women can’t be friends because the sex part always gets in the way,” he says when they first meet.

But a survey shatters Harry’s cynicism by suggesting that friends who become lovers can maintain their friendship even if the sexual relationship breaks down.

Big Names Back Possible Linux Standards

"Adobe Systems, IBM, Intel, Hewlett-Packard, Novell, RealNetworks and Red Hat are all backing the new Linux standards effort led by the Free Standards Group to form standards for key components of Linux desktop software, including libraries, application runtime and install time."

The LSB (Linux Standard Base) Desktop Project's goal is to standardize common libraries and application behavior so as to make it easier for independent software vendors (ISVs) to write Linux (search) desktop programs.
The long-term goal is to help the Linux desktop achieve wide-spread adoption.
With broad industry support, Zemlin said, the Linux desktop could challenge the Windows desktop.

"As the standards are provided and then adopted, the Linux desktop will snowball. Microsoft can compete with a Sun, a Red Hat or a Novell, but they won't be able to compete with an ecosystem of Linux desktops," Zemlin,executive director of the Free Standards Group said.

[xp utilities]CCleaner-CrapCleaner

Its a small piece of poem(?!) i wrote my self back in HSC days :)

Slowly I said "I Love You".

[xp utilities]Foxit PDF Reader

I was browsing http://betanews.com ven I came across this software.Have a look at this site for software downloads.Foxit reader is basically a pdf reader.I am adding publishers note down here.
Publishers note:
Foxit Reader is a free reader for PDF (eBook) documents. You can view and print PDF documents with it.
Foxit Reader is small (the download size less than 1MB), so you can download it quickly. It doesn't need any lengthy installation, so you can start to run it as soon as you can download it.
And it starts up immediately, so you don't need to wait the annoying "Welcome" screen to disappear.

Its freeware,no hidden adware nor spyware. Installation file size is small.Starts easily.If I am rite,it takes less memory thn adobe pdf reader.As I am not interested in creating pdf documents,it alone suffices.I no longer use annoying adobe acraobat reader.Y dont u see it urself??:)
download:http://www.foxitsoftware.com:80/pdf/pdfrd.zip
if it fails go to their page http://www.foxitsoftware.com/pdf/rd_intro.php# and download from there.
I will b bac with another software.

a walk to remember

This week had been really hectic!We were asked to submit all pending assignments,lab reports by the time we leave for DurgaPuja vacation.And as it happens always,we try to do it just bfore vacation and so all things get messed up making these days hectic.I was never sorry for not doing work beforewards.Let it happen vatever it is!I am actually not tht free minded but as I always get companions for late submissions,I dont feel much load.
There comes one of my real weakness...ven things get so much complicated,I just try to run out of tht and find some peace!!Its actually bit worrying thing but I am habituated to it.The same happened this week,I left all my work to try out some thing that gives me fun!!
I was watching some video by IIT Chennai guys on the other day.I thought of trying something like tht with Naruto video and audio frm some Linkinpark song.I recently saw some videos like tht.But I hav no idea of how to do it.Many times I thought of adding subtitles to some videos at some scenes to get some additional effect to the video also.There is some other problem with me,some things I dont want to ask others,I want do them myself completely.
I tried making a mini movie using Windows Movie Maker bfore wards.Tht was before sp2 upgrade,now the movie maker is definitely improved.When I was lookin to do something exciting,makin a small video using windows movie maker seemed to be good choice.
Windows Movie Maker splits imported video into frames on its own.U can further cut these frames manually...ofcourse U can join thm.V cant decide the splitting of frames.So it would be really cumbersome to edit a large file say size more than 200MB.I am looking for a software to manually extract the required clips.Many cutter softwares do that job but to join them and to give video effects etc.. U hav to use movie maker again.
I took Naruto-154 170 mb file,and tht LinkinPark track and merged thm.The main job comes as to get relevance between audio and vedio.U cant hav someone laughing ven thr is some symphony of tragedy going on.Well,it took nearly 45 mins and so ..i got some 20.4 mb wmv file,qlty being pretty good.
Well,submission stuff was over n vacation came.I stayed here in hostel.I was planning to get some acquaintance with php stuff in vacation but it seems nothing like tht is goin to happen.I cudnt avoid plannin for another vedio.
Ths time I took the movie "A Walk To Remember",one of my fav eng movie.No need to say its a wonderful composition of nice story,gud actors,melodious music.I loved it.I cut the required pieces from the movie using AVI trimmer,and thn imported it to movie maker,added some pictures and video transitions to join the scenes.It was combination of my fav 5 scenes from the movie.I retained the original sound as I loved the dialouges n music.So it was not difficult.It came out as some 90 mb file.Tht was good.
And thn I am looking forward to add some subtitles for one scene.Thr is one way to add thm through movie maker but its really difficult.I am looking in web and dc.
For timebeing,I am looing to have subbed Bleach double episode of the week.Its already been 4 days,no one knows ven will it be out.
