Find news from old newspapers

Posted by zee on September 8th, 2008 Comment »

Google who’s mission to organized the worlds information has once again stepped up with an initiative to bring old newspapers to the digital age with the help of News Archives. Google partnered with around 100 newspapers to digitize them and make scanned copies available online. Not only you can search these old newspapers but you will also be able to browse through them exactly as they were printed (photographs, headlines, articles, advertisements etc and all).

“This is huge,” said Google’s Marissa Mayer. “We’re branching into a new form of content.”

It is quite fun to go through the old papers you can see the old ads, the old offers and even classifieds. Reading an old & original article from a 1969 edition of Pittsburgh Post-Gazette (Americas oldest paper publishing since 244 years) was really exciting.

Find out who is blocking you Torrent Connection

Posted by zee on August 27th, 2008 Comment »

Its quite frustrating when you are trying to download some stuff from a torrent or a p2p connection but your connection keeps on breaking down. Another scenario could be your VOIP call getting dropped up. You might try to blame your software or computer setting for that but the real culprit could be your ISP.

Keeping this in mind a la Comcast the electronic frontier foundation (EFF) has released Switzerland an open source Network testing tool.

SWITZERLAND indicates the data lost or modified between clients. It identifies the effected packets to the concerned user. The main cause of data loss is the interference of the ISP (Internet Service Provider) and firewall security applications. SWITZERLAND uses P2P (Pier to Pier) technology. This application can also identify the packets with a random pattern. It uses multi client functionality by which it can detect the loss data of more than one user connected to the same server. It also identifies the user to which the data belongs. SWITZERLAND is an application which is not restricted to the TCP technology in its functionality.

How to use Switzerland
How to run tests well basically any packets exchanged between Switzerland & client connected to same server are automatically tested. But to test across different server you can make use of there wiki page where there is a list of bit Torrent seeded and download.

Posted by zee on August 27th, 2008 2 Comments »

One issue we face on regular bases: “we have a file which is an xyz format and we need to convert it into another format a good example Microsoft Word 2008 files into office 97 or it could be converting a MPEG into MOV or WMV. It’s a frustrating task to find converters to do this and for every file format you need its specific converter. So keeping this frustration in mind we found a very interesting free service called Youconverit.

Youconverit claims to be the world’s first most complete file & units conversion service which is ofcourse free of charge. No doubt they do support a long list of formats that include video formats like MPEG conversions, RM conversions, WMV conversions, RV conversions, MOV conversions and many more video formats. Similarly there are various audio formats which include MP3 conversions, WAV conversions ,RA conversions and so on. There is also support for document formats including DOC,PDF,ODG,ODP,EPS and various other formats conversion and lastly there is a huge support for image formats conversions like jpeg, tiff, png, gif …

How does the service works
Its quite simple to convert files all you have to do is provide the file you want to convert (up to 5 files simultaneously) provide the format you want to convert to enter you name & email and hit the convert button.
Apart from that youconvert it also provides two other facilities.

  • Convert online videos to any video format you want

This service is another exciting tool, to save flv files from sites like Youtube, to your desktop never got better. With the help of youConverit one can simply provide the URL of the video and then convert that video to any video format you want and save it to your local computer. The service works like a charm but you do need a good internet speed and a little patience as it’s a bit slow in conversion.

Send big files
Apart from file conversions you can also send 100MB of file via youConvertit.

Online Unit Conversion Tool
