3 days ago I talked about how to easily capture desktop screenshot. A person with the nickname MIND MOTION left a comment asking me about free video capture program. Well here it is…

CamStudio is able to record all screen and audio activity on your computer and create industry-standard AVI video files and using its built-in SWF Producer can turn those AVIs into lean, mean, bandwidth-friendly Streaming Flash videos (SWFs)

Need to edit a contract? Look at the latest sales report? Share a family photo? If it’s on your PC and how are you going to get it when you’re at some other place? You might think that installing a FTP service on your home computer will solve this problem but don’t forget, many companies and universities block FTP port 21 inbound and outbound connection. You can’t even use the Windows built-in FTP to connect to your home computer’s FTP.

Here’s a way to bypass all that restriction and allowing you connect to your home computer from anywhere!

I use both Mozilla Firefox and Internet Explorer 7. Mainly Firefox and if that particular site couldn’t support Firefox, then Internet Explorer 7 will come in handy. What I really liked about Firefox is it is able to save cookies so that I don’t need to login the next time, username and passwords and even double protect it with Master Password, list of visited websites and also the bookmarks. I know Internet Explorer 7 can do the same but somehow I prefer how Firefox does everything.

Loosing all bookmarks, histories/visited websites, cookies, saved username and passwords from my Firefox browser CAN be disastrous! It happened before, that’s why I always backup my Firefox profile.
I found this tool long ago and have been using it to backup my Mozilla Firefox profiles. It’s very useful and I thought I should share this out to some of you that don’t know about this.

I know you can use Print Screen button to capture screenshot and paste it to Microsoft Word or Paint but sometimes it’s just too much step for someone who’s scared to even turn on or off the computer! Yeah, I’ve been there… I had a customer who know nothing about computer and it’s just so hard for him to describe the problem. So the way is to take a screenshot of his computer. Funny part was, it actually created another problem when trying to get him taking a screenshot of his problem. Sigh…

But I still like to see the problem instead of them telling me “my computer is not working“. What I usually do is ask them to download a free screenshot capture program which can easily take a screenshot of his desktop and then either send it to me or via email or instant messenger.

Here’s a trick shared by Cypress on how to use Google to search and download music. This tip is very useful because it eliminates the use of any P2P or BitTorrent client software. Every computer should have a browser and any browser will do.

It’s very easy. Just follow the few simple steps below.

TM NET, a Internet Service Provider(ISP) in Malaysia has started traffic/bandwidth shaping Bittorrent connections of their Streamyx users. I heard about it a month ago but never study more in this problem because it didn’t affect me. I thought that maybe some users didn’t know how to configure their router and BitTorrent client properly. Finally it has caught up to me today while I was trying to download something off a BitTorrent tracker website. I kept on getting the message “connection closed by peer“.

Other BitTorrent clients might have different but similar messages as utorrent. I’ve searched hard and tried all methods to bypass this traffic shaping with a little success.

After more than a year of sharing nearly everything I know on this site, I’ve got a good news for everyone! I’ve got a flash game to share with you guys also also FREE screening movie passes to Ghost Rider movie.

Ghost Rider, based on the Marvel character, features movie star Nicolas Cage as Johnny Blaze, a stunt motorcyclist. Johnny Blaze gives up his soul to become a hell-blazing rider to battle against the devil’s son, Blackheart, through his incredible motorcycling abilities and supernatural power. The movie will be in theaters on February 16, 2007.
