Well, if you are one of those who got a new Mac Book and just wondering what are the additional software that you can install on it to enable to multi features, this website features almost all that you need. http://bestmacsoftware.org/ gives a detailed list of softwares for a mac with all kinds of functionlaity categorization. I must visit for a new mac user.

If you are one of those who prefers to go to physical store to buy something, try reading somethng else. This is for people who are crazy about onling shopping and would like to get the best of the deals from the online stores. I remember when I wanted to buy my Live 6 PodXT Live. The list price was about 500 bucks but there were a lot of online stores offering it for much lesser. Now the deal is to spend even lesser and make use of the coupon code system. But the main problem with the coupong thingy is that they are not that easily available at just one location. And also the website which have them do not update the code that often.

So there is this great Firefox extension called Coupon Craze which makes online shopping easier than ever. Coupon Craze can be downloaded from the Mozilla Add ons page.

Once you have got the extension on your Firefox. Just navigate through whatever site you want to buy the stuff from. There is a notification shown at the bottom right of your FF window which shows how many coupon code offers the site has using it huge database. Click the offer and you will be taken to the special offer and if the offer requires a coupon be given a coupon code or display any additional restrictions or instruction.

Happy shopping.

Oh man, what a night it was at the dinner and I swear I was drinking just to get drunk. Its been close to 6 months since I am back from California and my drinking seems to have not much control. So, I have decided to try cutting out on drinking for the next one month starting today. I was drinking to such an extent that I was drinking every Friday, something even on Sundays and sometimes all the three days of the weekend. Looks like the drinking was takin over me. Bad thing, I now have an image for heavy drinking. So its time to say hello to some mocktails and sodas. hehe

At last I had my shell32.dll problem fixed by following all the instructions from the forum and undoind all the mess up that I have done. But, what matters is that it is fixed although I have lost some of the icons on my system. Anyway, I was reading Vivek’s blog and he was talking about some new extension that he had found which is great one for people doing research and its made for Firefox.

Now I have done quite a lot of experimentation when it comes to browsers. I have tried IE, Firefox, Flock, Netscape, Advanced browsers and a lot more that I cant really remember.

But one of the greatest finding I have found is that nothing can handling pages as good as Opera on Windows. Trust me, NOTHING. Its just so seamless and superlight even with heavy pages.

There were a lot of times when my FF froze when handling Java applets and Javascripts. And this happened on several machine. But till date I have not had even a single problem with Opera.

So what if it does not have all that extension support. At least it works for the browsing like nothing else. I would want anyone of you to take a test and use Opera and let me know how you find it.
