Windows live writer on imac

Tweet

My blogging has taken regular breaks recently. Many reasons which i don’t want to explain in this post. I am using this break effectively to bring more exciting stuff to you in the coming days!

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Ever since i bought my new imac, i fell in love with the computer and the Snow Leopard operating system. I have been spending all my free time exploring the new OS. Frankly speaking, there is only one application that i miss in MAC OSX.

Windows Live Writer

This has been my blogging companion for a long time. I did search for blogging tools for ‘Mac’ all over the web. Didn’t find one that matches windows live writer capabilities.

Today, i have installed Windows Vista on my imac through boot camp. If not for windows live writer, i wouldn’t have thought of installing windows.

Windows Live writer….You rock Buddy !

Note : Windows Vista is such a loser ! Over all, the OS sucks.

The opinion got strengthened after using Snow leopard.

 

Google Wave – The Game Changer

Tweet

It is not in anyway an exaggeration, if i say an application called Google wave which is going to be released in this year, is gonna change the life of every internet user in the world.

Image source: www.wave.google.com

The application is fabulous, fantastic and the best of its kind. Adjectives of all the languages of the world, combined together cannot really glorify the beauty, use and simplicity of the application.

The video below is not just a recommendation. I want all my readers to definitely and  immediately watch this video. Why should i describe any of its features when there is a beautiful video out there.

The video is long. So follow this precaution: Don’t start the video if you have any deliverable in the next 1 hour. Because, i am so damn sure you wont stop it once started !

I promise, watching  the keynote presentation about Google Wave, you will be thrilled, surprised and entertained to the top levels, you will be off your seat, clapping, jumping and  trying to close your widely open mouth with your hands.

Friends, here is Google Wave…… The real real game changer..

Google, I love you !

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Well, i managed to find a screenshot of the application on the web.

This is how your future email will look like. In this window, you will chat, orkut, blog, micro-blog, share photos & videos, edit documents collaboratively and fill forms collaboratively, play games do what not? The list is so endless….  All you can do now is to say WoW and wait for the release.

If you are smart, you will immediately go to www.wave.google.com and click on the button which says “Let me know when it is ready”

Today, i reinforce my definition that i have repeated a lot of times near my close friends

Google is GOD !!!! 

10,000 BC /Hollywood Ramayana ?

Tweet

It all started when i was searching for a suitable picture of lord hanuman for my post on Hanuman’s Effective Communication.

To my surprise, i found a ‘human picture without a monkey face’ in the Google image search results. In the bottom area of the image were the letters 10,000 BC.

 

Out of curiosity, i clicked the image and it took me to an interesting post on the close resemblance of the movie, 10,000 BC to the famous epic, Ramayana. The post and its comments speak in depth about different versions of Ramayana. Kudos to the author.

 

The image below is taken from the same post to trigger your interest.

I don’t want to write any descriptions on the image, as it speaks for itself. The argument in the post is about “The real Ramayana”

Well, why am i writing about this now?

Today, i watched 10,000 BC. I wouldn’t have related it to the epic, if the referred post was not the inspiration to watch the movie. Yet, I liked the movie and enjoyed it in its true nature rather than its relation to the epic.

What about my opinion on the argument on Real Ramayana?

I don’t care a damn about the truth. I love the epic Ramayana, widely known and the morals it taught  us. Likewise, i love the movie 10,000 BC (the Hollywood version) . Both movie and the epic have inspired me in mixed ways. I have witnessed great leadership traits in some characters of 10,000 BC. Will definitely narrate a relevant  scene, in one of my future posts on leadership.

For people curious in history / controversies / Spirituality / Fun [:)] , this post will be a very interesting read. Thank you Pinastro. You gave me some fodder for thought.

Read on!

Phulki – WoW !!!!

Tweet

(Disclaimer: This post is for those who don’t know about Phulki. If you are in the Known list, go and enjoy. Don’t waste time reading this post)

Wondering what Phulki is ?

I would define it as a Google++ for Hindi and Tamil Music. Shown below is the home page for Phulki. Doesn’t it look neat and tidy ? Having used it for few days now, I can whole-heartedly say that Phulki is unlike any other online Music Provider.

The good news is that it is also light and very effective. You can search Songs/Playlists/Albums, What not? You readily have lot of options to choose from.

There is a magical Player in the window, into which you can drag songs, make playlists, save them and the best of all, share the songs with friends on social networks like Orkut, Twitter.

You can follow Phulki on Orkut, on Twitter, and subscribe to Phulki Blog.

For those lucky fellas, who have an iphone or an itouch, you can listen songs even when you are away from your computer, using the Phuki App

I didn’t know about all these until my friend Shoeb showed me the home page. Just go to www.Phulki.com and i am sure you will love exploring it.

From here, its a enjoyable Do it yourself project. I have already told enough

My Feeds & Subscriber Stats are Back !

Tweet

Hurray, The problem is resolved.

My feeds are back, just as Google promised. I shouldn’t have taken tension for the initial hiccup. But, man i couldn’t resist myself  from panicking when i saw the Zero count (Losing Subscribers). I learnt a lesson today. The conclusion is as follows.

Respect Google… Its a great company.

I feel my feeds are in more secure hands now. No more forgotten Pwds, No more multiple usernames. One Google account does all the magic ! WoW !

I’m on Twitter !

Tweet

I have observed some of my friends, on twitter and heard them praising it many times. My curiosity took a back seat all these days. I was lazy to do one of the most easiest things in the world. May be, i was waiting for today.

For those who still don’t know about it (I believe there are ppl in the category), let me share the definition from Wikipedia.

“Twitter is a social networking and micro-blogging service that allows its users to send and read other users' updates (known as tweets), which are text-based posts of up to 140 characters in length”

Those who want to know more details on twitter, especially new-bies, Read the article @ http://www.adventcreative.com/best-twitter-advice-ever. I found it useful  

Why am i on twitter? because, its time and i don’t  want to be too late !

Note: The Pic  was picked up from web! (by searching twitter logo in Google images)

Exploring Windows Live Writer !

Tweet

Since, i am working on close to 3 different computers everyday, i saw the need for having some of my most important files on the cloud. So, i started to explore the Sky-drive feature from Windows-Live. It offers you 25 GB of online storage for free. When i went to the home page, i found many other interesting applications. Most of you must be using these applications by now. If you are not, i would suggest you to go and have a look at www.windowslive.com. One such useful application, is the windows live writer.

View Full Album

This post is being written using the windows live writer application. You can use it to post simultaneously on different blogs of yours, and create posts more effectively with the different tools and plug-ins available. Just check out the album i created using the application.You can find my art and my photography in the album.

You can even integrate different blogs from Blogger, Wordpress or any other blog provider. So, bloggers who haven’t used it yet, go ahead and have a look at the windows live home page. You can download the writer application alone, at this link http://download.live.com/writer and voila !!!

Though, iam a big fan of Apple and would love to use mobile me, i wont mind to using Windows Live till i buy an imac or a macbook. Take the benefit when it is FREE !
