I have got a lot more readers than &lt;a href=&quot;http://techxtreme.blogspot.com&quot;&gt;techXtreme&lt;/a&gt; had before, I have more friends than I had earlier, and more activity (comments and opinions) as well. Though Phase-I (50 places for Awesome Blogs) took more time to finish than I expected it to, but this was because of a smaller reader base. I plan to launch the next phase (Phase-II 75 places for AWESOME BLOGS!) anytime soon, so keep a close watch in the days to come. I hope these 75 places go faster than the 50 places that are gone.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lots of Thanks and congratulations to those who got places in the list, for supporting me and getting links &amp;amp; more authority to your blog, respectively.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;Update :::&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The Alexa rank has dropped further down to &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;733,706&lt;/span&gt;, I am loving it.&lt;br /&gt;The number of &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/Techxtreme&quot;&gt;subscribers to the RSS feed [Click here to Subscribe]&lt;/a&gt; has rose to &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;44,&lt;/span&gt; from 33.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;Off-Beat :::&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;I had my mathematics exam on 2nd January.

But today, after some deep thinking about the whole process; what it was going to change, what had to be done in order to efficiently manage all the changes it could make across various systems, techXtreme has been indulged in; I have decided to keep &lt;a href=&quot;http://techxtreme.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;techXtreme&lt;/a&gt; intact and normally running. I have reverted all  the import-jobs at &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.inspiritblog.com/&quot;&gt;Inspirit Blog&lt;/a&gt; from techXtreme and kick-started it afresh!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are many reasons behind why I have taken this step:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;I am pretty much in love with techXtreme. I have created and then deleted many blogs till today, but this is the only one that I care the most about, the only one where I enjoyed writing at out of all, the only one that I have worked so hard on. Its the only one that has lasted for so long and has been so well.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Its the only blog that has given me real money! I have bought the domain www.inspiritblog.com from the money that I earned from this blog! The small though satisfactory success of techXtreme is one of the inspirations for InspiritBlog.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;It would be messy to redirect the techXtreme page from &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;blogspot&lt;/span&gt; to the new domain. The redirect will work fine on the techXtreme&#39;s home address, but any links to the individual posts won&#39;t work and hence would be lost. Such links to individual posts at techXtreme are spread far and wide on the internet and continue to help hundreds of readers regarding some issue or the other, that has been discussed here.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;I would have to change the listing of techXtreme at many many services and it would be quite hectic and more of a head ache to do!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;It would be a challenge to simultaneously maintain two blogs with exclusive content &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;and to develop both of them to success. Community development, gaining and maintaining readership and most importantly learning from both, would be adventurous and fun!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;Express your good opinion about it.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And do visit &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:180%;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.inspiritblog.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;www.inspiritblog.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; !&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*************************&lt;br /&gt;Subscribe to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/Techxtreme&quot;&gt;techXtreme RSS Feed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;</description><link>http://techxtreme.blogspot.com/2007/12/techxtreme-is-not-going-anywhere.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Abhinav Sood)</author><thr:total>2</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158473667746766128.post-398454304607145642</guid><pubDate>Thu, 27 Dec 2007 09:47:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-12-27T15:36:16.135+05:30</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Announcements</category><title>Moving to Wordpress Very Soon!</title><description>I have been with Blogger/Blogspot for the last one year, and it has not been a bad experience in anyway, but very soon I will be moving to a self-hosted WordPress blog using my own domain. The popularity and versatility of the WordPress blogging platform has always fascinated me.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;     Everything has already been set up, though a few glitches still exist. Like the errors in importing the posts and comments from techXtreme in the new website. It is most probably to due to the fact that I am on a Windows-based server while WordPress is &quot;most OK&quot; with the LAMP package (Linux-Apache-mySQL-PHP). I am trying something round the simple and suggested default procedure to get everything right with my friend &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.feedest.com&quot;&gt;Leo {Feedest.com}&lt;/a&gt; and will kick start when everything is all set right.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    I haven&#39;t started to publicize the new blog, even though the posts and comments till 25th of December are available, because I may need to flush the database as I have lost the access to administration panel and hence its impossible to manage anything like this. It won&#39;t be a good idea to ride a horse with no reins. That is why, I won&#39;t still be disclosing the site address.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    I&#39;ll surely post when I am done with the development process or rather, I will redirect this &lt;a href=&quot;http://techxtreme.blogspot.com&quot;&gt;http://techxtreme.blogspot.com&lt;/a&gt; to the new website. Till then stay tuned to &lt;a href=&quot;http://techxtreme.blogspot.com&quot;&gt;techXtreme&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 51, 102); font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Update:::&lt;/span&gt; Alexa rank for &lt;a href=&quot;http://techxtreme.blogspot.com&quot;&gt;techXtreme&lt;/a&gt; has jumped higher to &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;845,692&lt;/span&gt; from &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;996,735&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*************************&lt;br /&gt;Subscribe to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/Techxtreme&quot;&gt;techXtreme RSS Feed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;</description><link>http://techxtreme.blogspot.com/2007/12/moving-to-wordpress-very-soon.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Abhinav Sood)</author><thr:total>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158473667746766128.post-3019166296814709082</guid><pubDate>Tue, 25 Dec 2007 14:40:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-12-25T20:37:29.812+05:30</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Blog</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Blogging</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Firefox</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Google</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Google Toolbar</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">News</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Page  Rank</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">utility</category><title>Google Toolbar Sucks!</title><description>Soon after the I noticed that &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;Google Toolbar is illuding me&lt;/span&gt; as per the only function I use it for i.e. keeping a track of Page Rank, which is Google&#39;s measure of importance of a webpage. I have decided to remove it at once.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    I was left thinking about what caused such abrupt fluctuations in Page Rank showed for techXtreme. After &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lizaveeta.com&quot;&gt;Liza&lt;/a&gt; dropped me a comment letting me know that she had checked the page rank for techXtreme at various websites and that it was not more than &quot;0&quot;, I did a Google for analytical websites where I could ascertain myself whether she was right. A website that I came came across during the search operation had a Page Rank of 4 (PR 4.)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    Alright, techXtreme was PR 0, but when I opened techXtreme from the same place, the Google Toolbar still showed a PR of 4! I checked again by visiting techXtreme from PR 2, PR 5 and PR 6 sites; the toolbar showed PR 2, PR 5, PR 6 respectively for many minutes after techXtreme was opened. RumblingLankan might have faced the same thing before he concluded that techXtreme is a PR 5 blog!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    I never expected something GOOGLE would be behaving like this. It certainly doesn&#39;t take this much time to gather data for analytical purposes.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;Before kicking Google Toolbar ass-out&lt;/span&gt;, I tried uninstalling the add-on, cleared the cache and re-installed it but the same problem persisted! No excuses to spare this thing now!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;br /&gt;    Besides using the toolbar for checking the Page Rank, I used it for bookmarking sites. But &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;I believe, Firefox&#39;s in-built bookmark manager does the job equally well, if not better!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Good Bye Google Toolbar.&lt;br /&gt;Merry Christmas!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*************************&lt;br /&gt;Subscribe to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/Techxtreme&quot;&gt;techXtreme RSS Feed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;</description><link>http://techxtreme.blogspot.com/2007/12/google-toolbar-sucks.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Abhinav Sood)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158473667746766128.post-7094229153597285714</guid><pubDate>Tue, 25 Dec 2007 09:31:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-13T11:07:35.166+05:30</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Announcements</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Blogging</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">News</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Promotion</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">techxtreme logo</category><title>techXtreme is now a PR 5 blog !</title><description>&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rumblinglankan.com/&quot;&gt;RumblingLankan&lt;/a&gt; had talked about techXtreme in his post &lt;a href=&quot;http://rumblinglankan.com/want-some-link-love/&quot;&gt;Want some link love ?&lt;/a&gt; mentioning about the &lt;a href=&quot;http://techxtreme.blogspot.com/2007/12/listing-of-50-awesome-blogs-on-internet.html&quot;&gt;Awesome Web List&lt;/a&gt; concept I have engaged with my readers in. Not before reading RumblingLankan&#39;s post, I realized that techXtreme was &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;undergoing some hot development&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;a href=&quot;http://techxtreme.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;techXtreme&lt;/a&gt; now enjoys a PR of 5. PR is acronym for PageRank which is Google&#39;s measure of importance of a page.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;    At the time that post was written, the Google Toolbar added on my browser showed PR 5 for techXtreme, but a few minutes after I wrote my next post, Google Toolbar showed PR 6. After another two hours, PR meter said, &quot;No PageRank information available!&quot; which was soon followed by PR 2!!!&lt;br /&gt;    Unsure of what was going on as per regards to the PR-fluctuation in a wide range, I decided to wait and watch without a mention on my website. Then again, at night Google Toolbar said,&quot;No PageRank information available!&quot; Today when I logged on I was again greeted by a Page Rank of 5. I have captured a screenshot:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MrOwcCOIGng/R3DRWO1ro5I/AAAAAAAAALs/TFv4VWfDXW4/s1600-h/PR+5+techxtreme.JPG&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MrOwcCOIGng/R3DRWO1ro5I/AAAAAAAAALs/TFv4VWfDXW4/s400/PR+5+techxtreme.JPG&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5147844553955058578&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    I&#39;d appreciate if you drop me a comment and let me know what does your Google Toolbar say about the Page Rank of &lt;a href=&quot;http://techxtreme.blogspot.com&quot;&gt;techXtreme&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;*************************&lt;br /&gt;Subscribe to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/Techxtreme&quot;&gt;techXtreme RSS Feed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;</description><link>http://techxtreme.blogspot.com/2007/12/techxtreme-is-now-pr-5-blog.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Abhinav Sood)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MrOwcCOIGng/R3DRWO1ro5I/AAAAAAAAALs/TFv4VWfDXW4/s72-c/PR+5+techxtreme.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>4</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158473667746766128.post-1422585096176199579</guid><pubDate>Mon, 24 Dec 2007 07:22:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-12-24T13:47:20.744+05:30</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">blogging tips</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">doFollow</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Internet</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Promotion</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">tips and tricks</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Tutorials</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">utility</category><title>Join the doFollow brigade: WordPress and Google(Blogger) users</title><description>&lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;What in the first place is noFollow?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;    In an attempt to minimize comment spam, the blogging platform you use automatically adds the &lt;pre&gt;rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&quot;&lt;/pre&gt; attribute to the comments template. &lt;pre&gt;rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&lt;/pre&gt; attributes work by not following back the links that a commentator might post in his comments!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:130%;&quot; &gt;SP@M !!! Then why doFollow?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;But, I think that all sensible bloggers visit and check out the link(s) posted by their readership. Sometimes it may not be that easy to tell what may be a spam comment but in the general scenario, a comment that is not relevant to the focus of the blog post or is just a link as for forced and undesired (by the blog admin!) promotion; is spotted easily! &lt;span style=&quot;font-weight: bold;&quot;&gt;I believe everyone of us knows how to use the delete function!&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;That is the very basic concept behind the doFollow movement.&lt;/span&gt; In these times that the brotherhood culture is spreading across the Blogosphere, help (&amp;amp; self help) and promotion has got entirely a new meaning.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);font-size:180%;&quot; &gt;How to gain an entry into the doFollow brigade?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 102);font-size:130%;&quot; &gt;&lt;br /&gt;BLOGGER users:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;lisign in=&quot;&quot; to=&quot;&quot; your=&quot;&quot; google=&quot;&quot; blogger=&quot;&quot;&gt;&lt;li&gt;Click on Layout from the dashboard written against your blog.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Click on the Edit HTML sub-tab under the Template tab.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;When you&#39;re shown your blog template code; check mark the Expand Widget Templates Field.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Press CTRL+F and do a search for &lt;pre&gt;rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&lt;/pre&gt; attribute.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Remove any occurrence of &lt;pre&gt;rel=&quot;nofollow&quot;&lt;/pre&gt; from the template code.&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/lisign&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;You are now a doFollower!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 102);font-size:130%;&quot; &gt;WordPress users:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;WordPress users enjoy far more convenience to be a part of doFollow movement than the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogger.com/home&quot;&gt;Google Blogger&lt;/a&gt; users who have to tweak the template code to remove the noFollow attribute from comments/post templates.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.google.co.in/search?hl=en&amp;amp;q=doFollow+plugin+for+wordpress&amp;amp;btnG=Google+Search&amp;amp;meta=&quot;&gt;Google&lt;/a&gt; for a large numbers of doFollow plugins available for WordPress,&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;or, &lt;a href=&quot;http://kimmo.suominen.com/sw/dofollow/dofollow.php&quot;&gt;download&lt;/a&gt; this &lt;a href=&quot;http://kimmo.suominen.com/sw/dofollow/&quot;&gt;doFollow plugin by Kimmo Suominen&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;To use this plugin, simply place &lt;a href=&quot;http://kimmo.suominen.com/sw/dofollow/dofollow.php&quot;&gt;this file&lt;/a&gt; in the &lt;code&gt;wp-content/plugins&lt;/code&gt; directory of your WordPress blog!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;Activate the plugin from the settings of your blog by logging into the wp-admin of your blog!&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;br /&gt;And voila! you are also a doFollower now!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;(Tutorial at the request of &lt;a href=&quot;http://rumblinglankan.com/&quot;&gt;RumblingLankan&lt;/a&gt;)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(0, 0, 102);&quot;&gt;I FOLLOW!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;Don&#39;t forget to use anyone of the &quot;U Comment I Follow&quot; graphic logos on your blog by &lt;a href=&quot;http://randaclay.com/blog/i-follow/&quot;&gt;Randa Clay&lt;/a&gt;.

I have noticed that almost all of the bloggers have submitted the links to their blog in just plain text.&lt;br /&gt;I would like to let you all know, that I am also a part of &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:130%;&quot;&gt;doFollow &lt;span style=&quot;font-size:100%;&quot;&gt;brigade&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; and a strong supporter of the doFollow movement! I am giving you a place in the AWESOME BLOGS LIST upon submission and hence giving you a free link back to your blog.&lt;br /&gt;Similarly, I have had &quot;noFollow&quot; attributes removed from my comments template. If you submit your link wrapped within HTML anchor tag, then you get an extra link back to your profile from the comments in my blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;You may use anchor tag in this way&lt;/span&gt; :::&lt;br /&gt;&lt;pre&gt;(a href=&quot;BlogAddressHere&quot;)BlogNameHere(/a)&lt;/pre&gt;Replace the round brackets () with &lt;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;&lt;pre&gt;(a href=&quot;http://techxtreme.blogspot.com&quot;)techXtreme(/a)&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/pre&gt;on replacing () with &lt;&gt; will look like this :&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://techxtreme.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;techXtreme&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  So for more and more links to your blog, comment as much as you can and freely include the link to your blog.

Today, I came across an ultimately useful freeware called &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.snapfiles.com/get/rockxp.html&quot;&gt;RockXP 4.0 Beta&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;This little freeware according to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.rockxp.org/&quot;&gt;developer&#39;s homepage&lt;/a&gt;:&lt;br /&gt;&lt;em&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt; - Allows you to get all Microsoft Software Serials&lt;br /&gt;- Allows you to change your XP key&lt;br /&gt;- Allows you to save you XP activation&lt;br /&gt;- Allows you to retrieve you internet connection parameters (like passwords)&lt;br /&gt;- Allows you to retrieve MSN login and password&lt;br /&gt;- Allows you to retrieve XP login and HASH password&lt;br /&gt;- Allows you to display system password (LSA)&lt;br /&gt;- Allows you to generate random password&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-style: italic;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/em&gt;RockXP can also show you various username-password combinations that it can find in the windows registry!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;RockXP uses a third party Open-Source-Software &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(255, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Pwdump2.exe&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt; to retrieve HASH password of Windows. So your installed antivirus software may detect this application as a virus. But it is actually not. I have safely tested it! and the developer ascertains it as well.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The nifty freeware comes as &lt;span style=&quot;color: rgb(102, 0, 0);&quot;&gt;a (only) 732 KB ( !!!) download&lt;/span&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;You can download it from &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.snapfiles.com/get/rockxp.html&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;center&gt;*************************&lt;br /&gt;Subscribe to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/Techxtreme&quot;&gt;techXtreme RSS Feed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;</description><link>http://techxtreme.blogspot.com/2007/12/rockxp-rock-windows-xp.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Abhinav Sood)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158473667746766128.post-2023817767011803572</guid><pubDate>Sat, 22 Dec 2007 10:26:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-13T11:07:35.927+05:30</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Internet</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Javascript</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Widgets</category><title>Blogoversary could be a cool blog-widget, BUT...</title><description>&lt;center&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: left;&quot;&gt;I installed the code for showing my &quot;blogoversary&quot; [&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.blogoversary.com/&quot;&gt;www.blogoversary.com&lt;/a&gt;] on &lt;a href=&quot;http://techxtreme.blogspot.com/&quot;&gt;techXtreme&lt;/a&gt; but removed it today! because it didn&#39;t show the correct number of days left to my blog&#39;s anniversary i.e. 26th January.&lt;br /&gt;  The little graphics button looks cool and promises to get you lots of wishes from the readers of your blog.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MrOwcCOIGng/R2zspe1ro2I/AAAAAAAAALU/eqgbBr1dugQ/s1600-h/IMG_0696.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_MrOwcCOIGng/R2zspe1ro2I/AAAAAAAAALU/eqgbBr1dugQ/s400/IMG_0696.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5146748671574647650&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  But, I have noted that the service is not flawless.

Blogoversary still generates a graphic image for you, if you enter the day in the month-field and the month in day-field !&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  I entered the following information (mm/dd/yyyy format) :::&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MrOwcCOIGng/R2zuqO1ro3I/AAAAAAAAALc/WXyLmFckEDE/s1600-h/IMG_0696.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_MrOwcCOIGng/R2zuqO1ro3I/AAAAAAAAALc/WXyLmFckEDE/s400/IMG_0696.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5146750883482805106&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;and still I was able to generate a widget that went something like this :::&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a onblur=&quot;try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}&quot; href=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MrOwcCOIGng/R2zvq-1ro4I/AAAAAAAAALk/g-PAwGCW8DA/s1600-h/IMG_0696.jpg&quot;&gt;&lt;img style=&quot;cursor: pointer;&quot; src=&quot;http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_MrOwcCOIGng/R2zvq-1ro4I/AAAAAAAAALk/g-PAwGCW8DA/s400/IMG_0696.jpg&quot; alt=&quot;&quot; id=&quot;BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5146751995879334786&quot; border=&quot;0&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;    To my surprise, there is no &quot;Contact&quot; info on the website.

I call these, the not-spam spam!&lt;br /&gt; And sometimes I need to look for some info in an old email from some friend! Out of my 23% full Inbox! And some times you have to scan for an email that has an attachment or for one that has none. Here&#39;s where advanced search operators come to the rescue.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family:Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;blockquote&gt;Advanced search operators are query words or symbols that perform special actions in Gmail search. These operators allow you to find what you&#39;re looking for quickly and accurately. They can also be used to &lt;a href=&quot;http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?answer=6579&quot;&gt;set up filters&lt;/a&gt; so you can organize your inbox automatically.&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;  You can see all the search operators with GMail at &lt;a href=&quot;http://mail.google.com/support/bin/answer.py?ctx=%67mail&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;answer=7190&quot;&gt;GMail Help Center&lt;/a&gt; well organized in a table.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;*************************&lt;br /&gt;Subscribe to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/Techxtreme&quot;&gt;techXtreme RSS Feed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/center&gt;</description><link>http://techxtreme.blogspot.com/2007/12/use-advanced-search-operators-in-gmail.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Abhinav Sood)</author><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158473667746766128.post-7735113124820269066</guid><pubDate>Tue, 18 Dec 2007 12:20:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2007-12-18T18:14:42.329+05:30</atom:updated><title>Chance to Win $20 with Blog.Dahh.Net</title><description>There is a contest going on at &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.dahh.net/earn-20-with-blogdahhnet/&quot;&gt;Blog.Dahh.Net&lt;/a&gt; in an attempt to increase there readers and revenue. &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.dahh.net/earn-20-with-blogdahhnet/&quot;&gt;Blog.Dahh.Net&lt;/a&gt; will randomly draw a winner for $20 out of the participants who meet the following conditions:::&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p&gt;1- Sign up for their RSS feed&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;2- Stumble the &lt;a href=&quot;http://blog.dahh.net/&quot;&gt;blog&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;3- Write a new post on your blog mentioning the contest.&lt;/p&gt; &lt;p&gt;The winner will be randomly selected in January 2.

At the 93&lt;sup&gt;rd&lt;/sup&gt; square, there is no move left; 2 blocks in any direction and a block to its left or right. Towards the top-right, there is 64, nothing to the top-left, 68 to the right-up and 92 to the right-down. There are no blocks below 93 at all. And you understand how you may play this game!&lt;/p&gt;   &lt;p class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot; style=&quot;text-indent: 0.5in;&quot;&gt;So there you go amusing yourself when a system scan is running or you are updating the program!&lt;/p&gt;You can download this post in PDF format from &lt;a href=&quot;http://greatsood.abhi.googlepages.com/HiddenNumberGameinSpybot.pdf&quot;&gt;HERE&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;*************************&lt;br /&gt;Subscribe to the &lt;a href=&quot;http://feeds.feedburner.com/Techxtreme&quot;&gt;techXtreme RSS Feed&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/center&gt;</description><link>http://techxtreme.blogspot.com/2007/12/there-is-hidden-number-game-in-famous.html</link><author>noreply@blogger.com (Abhinav Sood)</author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_MrOwcCOIGng/R2VTBe1rowI/AAAAAAAAAKk/rO9sMqnGyL4/s72-c/azsxdc.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>0</thr:total></item><item><guid isPermaLink="false">tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8158473667746766128.post-5430976269382523029</guid><pubDate>Mon, 03 Dec 2007 05:28:00 +0000</pubDate><atom:updated>2008-12-13T11:07:37.063+05:30</atom:updated><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">creativity</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">General</category><category domain="http://www.blogger.com/atom/ns#">Photoshop CS2</category><title>No end to creativity!

Such file extensions, that you have never seen or heard of before. That you don&#39;t know, what application or program to open with. Extensions that you don&#39;t know serve what purpose.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.filext.org/&quot;&gt;FILExt&lt;/a&gt; is a large database of file extensions and the various programs that use      them.  All you have to do to know about a particular extension is just to type those pro-period letters into the search box and the database will return what the extension stands for, what it is used for, what utilities/applications use it, etc.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br/&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; border=&quot;2&quot;&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot;&gt;&lt;!--&lt;br /&gt;auctionads_ad_client = &quot;0a0f7c5497b8b8a11f7f&quot;;&lt;br /&gt;auctionads_ad_campaign = &quot;default&quot;;&lt;br /&gt;auctionads_ad_width = &quot;180&quot;;&lt;br /&gt;auctionads_ad_height = &quot;150&quot;;&lt;br /&gt;auctionads_ad_kw =  &quot;files, extensions&quot;;&lt;br /&gt;auctionads_color_border =  &quot;CFF8A3&quot;;&lt;br /&gt;auctionads_color_bg =  &quot;FFFFFF&quot;;&lt;br /&gt;auctionads_color_heading =  &quot;00A0E2&quot;;&lt;br /&gt;auctionads_color_text =  &quot;000000&quot;;&lt;br /&gt;auctionads_color_link =  &quot;008000&quot;;&lt;br /&gt;auctionads_options =  &quot;n&quot;;&lt;br /&gt;--&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;script type=&quot;text/javascript&quot; src=&quot;http://ads.auctionads.com/pagead/show_ads.js&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/script&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;br /&gt;An easy alternate to searching for the extension would be to use the alphabetical listings. Select the list     that represents the first letter of the extension. Select the number list     if the extension starts with a number (0...9)and the symbol list if it starts     with a non-alphanumeric character ($#&amp;amp;@!()-{}&#39;`_~). Scroll down the list     until you find the extension of interest. If there, a summary line of information     will appear by each instance of the extension. The extensions themselves     will be linked to the same page that would have appeared had you searched     as described above. Click on the extension to bring up that page. And there you go!&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Resourceful.
