There have been so many times when I had to download another music player or a video player software just because my Windows Media Player was not able to play a particular format. Unfortunately there was no way in Windows through which we can install just the media codec but not the players. I found a really good solution to this problem. This tool is called CodecInstaller and is free for download. This I found is very similar to Automatix in Linux. So how to get it working?

Just download Codec Installer from their website. Once you install it, you will be able to get a complete detail of all the codecs that are already installed on your computer in the forms of Audio and video. But the best thing about this utility is the Analyze file feature. A lot of the videos that I watch are encoded in Avi. If there are some that you are not able to play, all you need to do is analyze the file and install the missing codec.

I think this would serve the purpose for people like me who dont want to install a whole lot of player or codec packs like K-Lite Mega Codec.

Imagine this situation. You are a big music buff(just like me) and have loads and loads of music on your home computer and have a really high speed internet connection as well. You can access to this content anywhere you go and that too using your iTunes. It just wouldnt be possible untill learn about this little software called Simplify Media. Wanna know how it works?

Once you download an install SimplifyMusic from their website, just select the folders you want to share. SimplifyMusic can read your iTunes DB and stream it over the internet to any computer using a user id and password that you have to register with them. Once you are registered, you can install the software on your client machine as well and your home media will show up as a Shared Library on your client machine. You can now play the music just as if you were playing from your hard drive. How cool is that?

This is just a one time pain with all the sign up process but if you actually see, you are saving hdd space by having all your music only at one place. All it needs is a high speed internet connection.

At work I work on a 24″ widescreen monitor and noticed that I was wasting so much of the space on it. So what was it that I could do to make the mazimum use of the LCD space. Well, first let me define the requirements. I needed something that would allows me to arrange the windows into prearranged sizes and arranged them in the form of a grid. And all this at the click of a menu options. Again, there is some research that goes into it and found this cute piece of software called GridMove. The best part about this software is that its free and has a lot of customizability. Some of the features mentioned in its website are:-

Features:

• 3 different interaction methods to suit everyone’s likes
• Several pre-made grid templates that can be easily swaped
• Ability to set windows on top and maximize them vertically or horizontally
• Full keyboard support, which can organize windows with one hotkey press
• Customizable hotkeys
• Customizable interface
• Possibility to create dynamic custom grids
• Complete help file
• MultiMonitor Support
• Easy install/uninstall.

But trust me, its a breez to use this application. Espcially that the grid is customizable. I love the middle click drag feature which is the one that I use the most. Also the predefined templates are the ones that are good enough to get you going with some productive work.. So go ahead and download GridMove.

How many times have we come across a situation where you had to Unlock a million times in a day just becase you had to get off your desk too often? Well a lil surfing through the internet and I found this thing called BanadaScreen that makes the job pretty easy.

So how does banascreen work? First download BananaScreen and install it on your Windows computer. The next thing to do is to create a face model of yourself using it, Then configure BananaScreen to lock your computer in a predefined time of inactivity. BananaScreen now keeps looking for faces that go in and our of your web cam. All you need to do to unlock the screen is just face the camera. BananaScreen automatically detects your face and unlocks your computer in quite less time that you would require to type your password. Its not that accurate though as it is still in beta, but its free and you dont need an IBM face recognition laptop. Now how cool is that?
