Keep Your Internet Alive




These days Broadband connections are very common...

As a result we are always connected... this annoys the ISP's !

Recently, I made some changes in my internet connection and faced the following problem and came out with a solution...

***** Problem *****
ISPs(Internet Service Providers) automatically disconnects the connection after some time in case of absolute inactivity. This reduces the load on their servers.
But...
This is irritating for the user, as he has to login every now and then...

Now, Imagine you are reading an article and after 10 mins.. as you turn to next page...? It asks you to Login..??? Now... that's crazy... isn't it ?

***** Solution *****
I coded an application that keeps the connection alive ! Basically it maintains little activity and prevents it from logging out. This is tested to be safe.. so no worries.

-------------------------------------------------------------
Application : Keep_Alive
Size : 40 KBIt uses : 128 bytes every 5 min. (i.e. 36KB in 1 day)
Link : Download Here
-------------------------------------------------------------

***** How To Use *****
> Double-Click the application(Keep_Alive)
> The Application runs in hidden mode, i.e. it will disappear and run in background
> You are done.. Now your connection will remain alive, forget about it.
But a Problem !
۩ On Restart the you again have to start the Application !!!
--------------------------------------------

So... Add it to your Start Up
-------------------------------------------------------------
Adding to StartUp...
-------------------------------------------------------------
** Go to Start > All Programs
** Right Click on Startup > open
** In Startup paste the application (Keep_Alive)
** This will start the Application every time you start your computer

Mission Accomplished...!
Now you will not get logged out automatically as the application will maintain some activity.

If you want to remove it...
** Just Delete it from the Startup Folder & Restart.
** To close it without Restart.. (ctrl + shift + esc) > Processes > Keep_Alive > End Process.

Enjoy.....!!!

Test Your Internet Speed



Well..
All of us have Internet Connections at our places... and pay for costly Hi-Speed Broadband Plans...

> It checks the Internet Speed from a Calcutta Server
> Downloads a 128 KB of Sample Data
> It calculates your inernet Speed for you

What you need to have :
> Windows 2000, NT, Xp, Vista or higher
> For Windows Xp, NT, 2000 .Net Framework 2.0 or higher (Vista has it preloaded)
> Internet Explorer Installed


Usage :

Any Folder as a Photo Folder

This tricks shows you how to setup any folder to display its contents as a photo folder. In many cases, you save your images/photos in a folder different than "My Pictures" (under "My Documents"). Since this folder you choose is just like any other normal folders, its contents displayed as a listing of files. You can temporary change it by just right-click and select "View" >> "Thumbnails". But if you want to change the folder so that everytime you come back, the folder itself, as well as all its subfolders, display the contents as photo thumbnails.
Here's How



  • Right-click on the folder you choose and select "Properties"


  • Select "Customize" Tab. Then under "Use this folder type as a template", select "Pictures (best for many files)"


  • Check on "Also apply this template to all subfolders" to apply the setting to subfoders as well


  • Click OK to exit

  • Table of ASCII Characters

    This table lists the ASCII characters and their decimal, octal and hexadecimal numbers. Characters which appear as names in parentheses (e.g., (nl)) are non-printing characters. A table of the common non-printing characters appears after this table.

    Audio CD versus MP3 CD

    Audio CD
    While some people are very knowledge about the different types of CD and DVD, some others are still very confused on the different formats. Although more and more people want to enjoy the MP3 technology by making their own MP3 discs for their cars, portable mp3 players, etc... many of them are not sure how to create a MP3 CD and how it is different comparing to a regular audio CD.
    To make it simple, an audio CD (Compact Disc Digital Audio) is one that you buy from stores and contains only audio tracks. Audio CDs are compatible with most of current CD-drives, including your CD/DVD drive on your computer, and your car CD player. For little more details, this standard of Audio CDs is called the "Red Book", which was first released in 1980 by Philips and Sony.
    The audio tracks are uncompressed digital data (essentially WAV). This explains why you can't fit 100 songs in an audio CD like an MP3 CD because the size of each track is big. Try to plug an audio CD into your computer CD/DVD drive, what you'd see are some files with the names similar to "track01.cda". These are audio tracks, and you can't just open them with your computer like any other computer file. A CDA file simply points to the location of the audio track on the CD. Also, you cannot copy these CDA files to another location with your computer. Why? because they contain no audio data, they are just the "pointer" files. The actual audio data is stored on the CD sectors and cannot be viewable on your computers.
    An audio CD normally can hold up to 74 or 80 minutes of audio. So when you create an audio CD from some MP3 files, no matter how big or small your mp3 files are, the CD can only fit in up to 80 minutes of audio.
    - Pro: Compatibility. Audio CDs can be played on most CD players/drives.
    - Con: Size limit. You can't fit many songs into an audio CD.
    Audio Spec

    • The frequency response: from 20 Hz to 20 kHz.
    • Bit rate = 44100 samples/s × 16 bit/sample × 2 channels = 1411.2 kbit/s (more than 10 MB per minute)

    MP3 CD
    MP3 (or "MPEG-1 Audio Layer 3") is an encoding format for audio data. Not to be confused with "MPEG-3", which is a video standard. MP3 is an audio-specific standard that was introduced in 1991.
    Late 1990s, the internet users started to encode more and more audio files using the MP3 format and spread them over the internet. This lead to the creations of many MP3 player software such as WinAmp, Nullsoft, etc... The MP3 format became the most popular audio format for computer because of the advantages of it.
    An MP3 file is a compressed audio file. This brings the biggest advantage of the MP3 format: the small size. Although the size of each MP3 file is vary, depending on many factors, an average size of an MP3 file for a music track doesn't go more than 7 MB.
    MP3 files are just like any other computer files. You can move them from place to place on your computer, or you can open them using different application software. Once it comes to the idea of making a CD out of these files, it can be a little confusing. Why? apparently, many people think that they're creating an audio CD instead, just because they are expecting a "CD with audio" at the end. In fact, an MP3 CD is not like an audio CD but like an any other computer discs: it contains data files, not audio tracks.
    So what makes it a big deal? Many CD-copy software have different selections for "Audio" and "Data". The "Audio" option is for creating a standard CD with audio tracks, while the "Data" option can be used to copy either computer data or MP3 files. Remember MP3 files are just like computer data files!
    Now the term "bitrate" might come up while you're playing with MP3, so what is it? Bitrate is the number of bits that are processed per unit of time. Simpler, it defines the compress ratio on the MP3 files. A lower bit-rate would give you a smaller MP3 file, but also.. less quality.

    - Pro: Size! A CD with MP3 files can hold up to 700 MB of data/mp3 files. So with an average of 4-5 MB each MP3, you can store up to 160 songs on a CD, that's about 10 times of an Audio CD.
    - Con: Compatibility. Although more and more players are compatible with MP3 standard, there are still some that only play audio CDs.

    Command Prompt on Right-Click

    Many computer users, specially the programmers, need to launch a command prompt window every once in a while to execute some dos/shell commands. The problem is, when a command prompt window launched, the default path is normally the system path or the user profile's path. The users will then have to do all the "cd" commands to change the directories to the path he/she wants.
    This trick shows you how to add an option called "Command Prompt" when you right-click on a folder in Windows. With this option, a Command Prompt Window will launch and its current directory will be the path to the folder you've selected.
