Warning: It has come to my notice that the current version has a bug when used on Laptops. The application will create tasks with condition "Start the task only if the computer is on AC power" checked by default. So, if you are running your downloads while on batteries, the tasks won't run. Workaround: I've already resolved the bug but I need to test it before uploading. Please modify this condition manually. Click here for a step-by-step guide on how to do that. 2009/12/27 - Resolved The updated version has been uploaded and is now available for download. Also, I've added reco... [More]

I recently visited Karl Francisco Fernandes’s blog mesonprojekt with awesome design. There, while reading one of his blog entries, I saw this small widget on the right called “ABOUT THIS ARTICLE” and my heart just said – I want one. Well that’s it. I tried(I swear I did) to search for it on internet for a while but soon ended up deciding to write my own.  So since, I was going to write one for my own, I decided to write down my requirements (greyed out features are yet to be implemented.) To display well formatted information of currently viewed post.   To add suppor... [More]

Update - April 29, 2011 It has come to my notice that when a user inserts a new USB flash drive, Windows will reset the registry allowing the user to use the USB drive on the system. While, I did find a fix, it was no use to re-invent the wheel when there already exists a (free) program to get the work done. A program from Intelliadmin is freely available that you can use to disable usb pendrives. Please have a look at their article for more details. While scouring through my old archives, I came across a very simple utility, that I had created back in 2005 for my dad’s office to pro... [More]

Have you ever wished, while using Orkut, to write scraps and your profiles in different font styles without any third party application that shamelessly accesses your friends list and manipulates your updates???? or without logging into  third party sites that are totally not reliable in the first place???   Well, even I used to ask the same question to myself. But hey, I can create a client application on my own. All I need is different font styles. And after scouring internet for few hours, I settled with 15 different styles. And I created this small application that writes in yo... [More]

It’s been quite a while that I actually wrote a good content but trust me, I was busy for good. Recently, I wanted to monitor downloads(not total monitoring, I’ll leave that to Google Analytics and StatCounter, but just how many files get downloaded everyday) of files I posted on the blog. For this, I’ve been using Al Nyveldt’s Simple Download Counter extension for couple of months. I just loved its simplicity and as it’s name suggests, it was pure vanilla simple extension. But, due to its simplicity, I had to visit each page to check the download counts. Since, the extension used quite a si... [More]

  As I had already hinted in my previous post, I was creating a program that would ease the process of creating extension for BlogEngine.Net. The advantage of this program is that you don’t really have to know everything about BlogEngine.Net Core. Most of the work is done by the program. The program automatically generates the code for settings including initializing it.   Please note that this program is not totally complete. The program generates very limited code and therefore I cannot say that it’s a complete solution. But as far as my needs were concerned, it did fulfil it. ... [More]

Before, you start wondering what is Google Friend Connect, I suggest you to visit this site. Once, you are through with the knowledge of what is Google Friend Connect, you should be knowing about what Social Bar is. Yes, it’s a widget that can be installed onto your site and then lets you create your own site community without the headache of programming, registering and managing user and all that.   So what you up to this time, eh? Well, I have created an extension that further eases the installation of this Social Bar. All you have to do is register your site with Google Friend Conn... [More]

    I created this little theme in the spirit of [IYA] – 2009 when I was using [MWPSK]. Now, that I don’t use it any more, I thought, I’ld let this theme remain available for download. The theme was created using MWPSK Theme Generator   Astro.zip
