Disable annoying Vista UAC popups (Windows Wednesday)
Long back, I covered a quick method of disabling User Access Control in Windows Vista via editing the registry. Registry editing is something for advanced users only. TweakUAC is a simple tool dedicated for this purpose. With a click of a button you can disable Windows Vista User Access Control. You have three options in TweakUAC. The first one completely disables Windows UAC. Remember disabling UAC will reduce the protection levels of your computer. This is the option I selected. The second is to keep UAC enabled but to disable only the annoying prompts everytime you run a software. The […]

Forumwarz (Fun Friday)
While, I’d love to write an entire article for this, it would simply spoil the fun. From the site: Forumwarz is a parody role-playing game that takes place on the Internet. In fact, Forumwarz is the Internet…in game form. Magical dragon-faeries? Flaxen-hair’d elflords? Dank scary dungeons, reminiscent of Grandpa’s basement? Kids’ stuff. In Forumwarz, you can pwn trolls in ridiculous web forums…buy hacked warez from shady Russian websites…or upgrade your skills with breast implants, malt liquor and antidepressants. Start playing […]
Movable Type Pro with Comments (Fun Friday)
I mentioned two days back that Movable Type Pro is available for Bloggers. The August 13 release post on the Movable Type Blog announced the new features available in Movable Type Pro 4.2.

Privnote (Service Saturday)
“This message will self destruct in five seconds” runs the famous line in Mission Impossible. We definitely wouldn’t want our computers to blow up, but Privnote provides you with a service that is just like that! Privnote is a web tool that you can use to send private notes over the Internet. Why would you use Privnote? The most obvious reason would be that you don’t want the message to be viewed more than once. Get notified when the recipient views the message. Check if someone else is eavesdropping on your conversations. As a plus point, you can immediately delete […]
It’s a Wonderful Internet (Fun Friday)
I remember nearly ten years ago me venturing into a tiny cyber cafe in an attempt to understand what the Internet was all about, what email is and what did people mean when they said chat online. Those days, to use the internet cost a bomb with horrible dialup speeds. Well, the internet today still costs a bomb but the speeds have gotten significantly better! The Internet has become a rather important part of my life for sure. What about you? Stumbled across It’s a Wonderful Internet today which tells the story of a young man named George who on […]
