SWIPER: Simple program for deleting empty folders (Windows)

2009-10-08T00:18:00.008+08:00

While reorganizing my files a few days ago, I came across a conundrum. It was how to automatically delete many empty folders. I looked for some solutions on the web and came across this page that has instructions on how to automatically delete empty folders without having to install any software (because we don't like the idea of installing a software that would just be rarely used, right?). The procedure was nice and easy, but it was quite long so I built a simple program that would execute the procedure. I called it Swiper and made it available for anybody to use (for free, of course).

Click Here to Download SWIPER.

Simply place Swiper in the folder which contains the empty sub-folders you want to delete, then run it. No installation, no hassle. If you would like to know how it works, read the contents of the "page." Good luck with your file management!

Hey, this is my first post in several months! School just wouldn't give me more breaks like what I am having now because of typhoon Ondoy.

Comics used technology to become available online, now technology uses comics to be explained. Intel launched Core i7 processor with a comic book, "The Hero Inside". Just months ago Google used the same style in explaining Chrome. Truly, many loves comics. When will they use manga, or anime? I cannot wait.

2008-11-16T22:45:00.005+08:00

Just minutes ago I received a text (below) that tried to explain the downtime Friendster is experiencing for a couple of days now.

Please be advised that Friendster has suffered a great damage on their site as a computer named h4xor-nytmare had infiltrated their database.

Please, do not log in your accounts or add friends for the time being for the team is currently recovering the losses that were inflicted.

Please spread...

Here is another quick post. Hours ago, while we were waiting for the movie "Quantum of Solace" to start on the big screen, the trailer above was shown. That was only when I learned that a movie was already done based on the favorite. Click here for the information about the movie.

Quick and Brief

2008-11-06T08:42:00.006+08:00

It has been almost a month since my last post. This is because I have been working on so many things lately (aside from enjoying the recent semestral break, LOL), including the most tiring enrollment (so far) in my life that I am not done with yet. *sigh*

I would just like to tell the news of this blog's appearance in Chris Brogan's Rockstars page. (Hurrah!)

Well, I think I should be running now, because today is the last day of enrollment. I promise to be back soon.

Today, October 15, 2008, is this blog's first Blog Action Day. The participants are supposed to post about poverty, a topic I am not inclined to talk about today (tonight rather), sorry. I am just too happy about the semester running its course and because I will be home soon. I do not want to ruin the moment thinking about sad things. But I would like to help in some way hence made this post. I believe that through this post I am helping in the promotion of the event. If you are thinking that it is already late for this post, think again. Many bloggers out there are still up and may update their blogs. If you would like to participate, click here.

"Sometimes I send messages I shouldn't send. Like the time I told that girl I had a crush on her over text message. Or the time I sent that late night email to my ex-girlfriend that we should get back together."

YouTube added a feature that makes full-length videos available in "theater view." The feature , when enabled, will widen the player, put the video at the center of the page and add theatrical curtains at its side. An option also lets a user to dim the rest of the page, adding to a user's theater experience. Try some examples from here.

Thanks to Mike Abundo.

Back to 2001 with Google!

2008-10-01T13:43:00.006+08:00

On its 10th birthday, Google brings back its oldest version that dates back to January 2001, when Google was still written with an exclamation point like Yahoo!

I knew before I tried that 'delajoker' would not be found on any of the 1,326,920,000 web pages Google had indexed. Go play with 2001 Google Search yourself.

Google's and Pisay Bicol's tenth-year logos

2008-09-28T07:58:00.018+08:00

The much-awaited tenth-anniversary logo of Google (above right), together with a time line of Google's history, has just been released. Meanwhile, Philippine Science High Schol - Bicol Region Campus (aka Pisay Bicol), my alma mater, will also be celebrating ten years of its existence this coming October. The logo for the upcoming event (above left) was selected through a contest.

Now enough of institutions celebrating birthdays. I celebrated my 18th birthday yesterday September 27 (GMT +8), and that makes me of legal age now. *evil grin* By the way, thanks to those who did not forget to say Happy Birthday", or "Palibre naman" (which is another way of greeting, LOL), you guys are the best.

Google Chrome: A New Threat to Windows (not just IE)

2008-09-03T18:19:00.022+08:00

EDIT: I found a short demonstration of the features of Google Chrome (i.e. OmniBox, incognito mode, on anti-phishing, V8 JavaScript engine). It is the video at the bottom of this post.

I tried Chrome, and think that it really was clean (yet elegant) as it was claimed to be. Chrome promises a better support for Web applications (Chrome even has its own task manager), exceeding being just a Web browser and practically giving a bunch of Web apps better footing in competing with Windows apps.

Chrome was just recently launched to beta and is still only available for Windows.

Eraserheads' concert was cut short (Updated)

2008-08-31T15:47:00.015+08:00

UPDATE (10:15 pm GMT+8): Inquirer.net has just added three videos of the Eraserheads performing their hit songs Ligaya, Alapaap and Sembreak at their reunion concert. These videos may be watched below.

I and my friends wanted to be in the attendance of the Eraserheads' reunion concert held last night, but, due to some reasons, were not able to buy a ticket. While browsing the web last night, I found an article saying that the concert was cut short and that it was because of Ely Buendia's health status.

It may be very unpatriotic to blog this but here I go: Our country, the Philippines, was again not able to bring home any medal from the Games. Even the president was unhappy about it. Going on, below are different Beijing Olympics-related items I found on the Web.
