Downloading music

Google trick for downloading music/songs etc.
Type "intitle:index of" then group name/song title etc and then file format e.g.mp3
For example, to search for illayaraja use the following query without the quotes
"intitle:index of pink floyd mp3"

It directly takes you the server from where you can download it. Enjoy ;)

Video Tutorials

Stumbled on this youtube.jimmyr.com. Jimmy makes video tutorials on whole lot of things. The thing is you can request him for video tuts. that u want to c. In the request page, there's a sentence which goes like this - "Vista is also a blocked keyword. If something doesn't work on vista it's normal". I have seen my collegue who got Vista installed(almost by force) and now he just uses his computer like a kid. He comes to me for printouts, opening excel from outlook, downloading things, there's so many things which doesn't seem to work. It should have been in alpha release.

Apart from this, I found whole lot of video tuts. about watching online TV, links to education tutorials ;) , and .. and watching/downloading free movies/TV shows. Aur kya chahiye bhai !! Some of them are:- dailymotion.com, videohybrid.com, comedycentral.com/motherload for TV shows;
frostwire-a much better version of Limewire for P2P downloads;
gnutella, emule for software downloads, bitTYRANT for movies, thepiratebay, mininova.org for torrents,

Programmer's Day

Had some 4 forwards today regarding Programmer's Day. The prophecy goes something like this: 2 raised to power 8 = 256; 256^th day of an year is 13^th September for a normal year and 12^th September on a leap year.

Also there's an image attached to the forward showing a wikipedia page shown in the left(<--). Checked with wikipedia for the actual page, but it's already marked for deletion.

bhooooooooooo.

Hello! Wrong number

This sruthi is really irritating me. I get some 3-5 calls/day for this girl on my phone. And the calls are from IBM, Wipro and other IT companies. Indian job market is booming, especially the IT sector.

Yeah! forgot to mention this - she seems to be in job-search mode and she
gave my number in the contact details and that's it. Mailed her(but no reply yet) after trying hard to get her mail id from the callers.

Next time, when u up against someone, just give their no. in a job site. That's it :D :D
