[ How To ] Make an " Under Construction " Page for Blogger / Blogspot !
Written on 2:38 AM by Rahul Mathur
Hello Humanoids. I am back after surviving 5 days without internet ! I will be VERY busy till the end of this month, so i wont be able to post or update regularly.
This post is for bloggers who use the blogging platform Blogger.There are various customization options available in Blogger but due to lack of HTML knowledge of most of the bloggers,these options prove to be useless.After How to add Stripe Ads in Blogger [ hack ] post, I have come across a simple post that could help many [via Ariane : ].
Most of blogger users change their templates regularly ( including me ), but during the process of changing templates,exporting importing blogs,forwarding to a custom domain, we usually don't tell our readers that our blog is under going construction, we sometimes leave a blank page or sometimes we get a blog not found error ( a normal error during custom domain process ) . So how do we tell the readers that the blog is under going reconstruction ?
Here is how :
Note - Remove the red inverted commas, wherever you see them .
Go to your Dashboard . Navigate to Layout - Edit HTML .
Then find the tag
<"body">
Then Paste this code after the above tag :
<"span class="item-control blog-admin"">
Below above code, add the following code :
<"center><"img src="URL_of_the_image"/"><"/center>
Replace :
URL_of_the_image
With any image that would be appropriate, for example : this image . Yep, you have to paste the whole URL of the image.
Once you are done replacing,
Find the tag :
<"/body>Just before the above tag, add the following code :
<"/span>
If you still have any problem, i have taken screen shots so that you can recheck if you have made a mistake :
This is how my blog looked after the whole coding process :
You should also change the header of your blog to make it look better.
Hope this post helped you ,

Written on 4:03 AM by Rahul Mathur
Hello Humanoids. Twitter is a great place to stay in touch with your friends all over the world, its also a great source of information, it kinda acts like a Feed Reader in some cases.
Getting back to the title, so HOW MUCH time do you Spend on Twitter ? You must have been like " i don't count, duh ! ", others would have been like " I am always on Twitter " and some people who think in a different way would have been like " Interesting, i would love to know how much time i spend on Twitter ! " . Good news " different people " , Tweetwaster comes to your rescue .
Before writing further, the above question can be better written as : So how much time do you spend on Twitter ? It was written because it matched the content.
I was closely following the website developer's ( @itcn) updates about his upcoming website, i knew the idea was pretty cool, it shows you an estimate of how much time you spend on twitter .
Go to the website - Tweetwasters, Just enter your user name here :
Click on Calculate and you shall have a page which contains similar data :
If you can't click the image, it says :
Rahul Mathur has 1,698 total tweets and assuming they spent an average of 30 seconds per tweet they've spent 50,940 Seconds or 849 Minutes or 14.15 Hours or 0.59 Days using Twitter!
Tweetwaster is Indeed a cute way of wasting our time, sigh . By the way, there is a Tweetwasters Hall of Fame : Check the Hall of Fame and see if you are in the top 50 !
You can also display your Tweetwasters Stat on your Word Press Blog, just click here .

[How To ] Add Twitter to your Signatures - Email , Forums and Blogs !
Written on 8:20 PM by Rahul Mathur
Hello Humanoids. I have real tough time keeping up with my blog due to my schedule these days, but i do keep in touch with world of internet thanks to my Google Reader and Twitter !
Email signatures is used by most of us, its just like our IRL signature on the internet, its our identity .But signatures are mostly used by business professionals while others tend to mess their signatures with stupid things like - Random HTML scripts which is too bright for the eyes , but now with Tweeterbars you can add Twitter to your email signatures , you just need to put the HTML code in the signature box and you are all done to send show your twitter updates to the receiver.
You can similarly make signatures for Forums, Forums have BBCode enabled ( almost everywhere ) , so thee shouldn't be any problem as the tweeterbar code is available in HTML , BBCode as well as URl form .
The URL form can be useful for bloggers , just navigate to the url and save it on your computer . Make a HTML script out of it and add it to your signatures ( Blogger dot com users - navigate to Settings and then set your signature , if you need help post in the comment box ) .
Here are some screen shots :
Result :
I have to try the BBCode still since the forum i am actively on has disable BBCode , but it will for sure ,
Give it a try . Also, i found an alternative called : Twitsig which is quite similar , has more layout but isn't as smooth as Tweeterbar ! Twitter Signatures sounds cool by the way :)

10 Most Pirated Games of 2008 !
Written on 1:11 AM by Rahul Mathur
Hello Humanoids . This year witnessed some of the best games for consoles , GTA IV being titled as Game Of the Year, But there were few for the P.C Gamers , some of them were - Fall Out 3, PES 09 ,etc . Even games like Spore created a lot of buzz with PC gamers. But, there are hundreds and thousands of people who stay away from buying these games, instead they switch to Torrents .
Torrents are immensely useful when we want to have a look at the demand of people , for example - Fifa series from EA Sports this year was blown away by PES 09, According to the number of downloads from Gizmolio ( Skullptura ) on popular Torrent website Mininova . This shows how people are tired of the same old early 21st century game play form EA Sports .
Torrents have significant impact on the sales of the video games and companies face huge losses as most of the gamers download the games instead of buying it , to tackle piracy Ea Games added a DRM system SecuROM in the game Spore, which later angered the fans but this didn't affect the number of pirated version of this game : Spore was the most pirated PC game of 2008 ! But GTA IV is around the corner , though its been priced pretty less to attract more buyers than pirates it can have an effect on 10 Most pirated Games of 2008 list could be affected ,
Anyways, Here is the list of Ten Most Pirated Games of 2008 , acc. to TorrentFreak :
- 1. Spore (1,700,000, released Sept. 2008)
- 2. The Sims 2 (1,150,000, Sept. 2004)
- 3. Assassins Creed (1,070,000, Nov. 2007)
- 4. Crysis (940,000, Nov. 2007)
- 5. Command & Conquer 3 (860,000, March 2007)
- 6. Call of Duty 4 (830,000, Nov. 2007)
- 7. Grand Theft Auto: San Andreas (740,000, June 2005)
- 8. Fallout 3 (645,000, Oct. 2008)
- 9. Far Cry 2 (585,000, Oct. 2008)
- 10. Pro Evolution Soccer 2009 (470,000, Oct. 2008)
If you are an active torrent download : Are you surprised by the list ?
What do you think of the list and according to you how does Torrent affect the gaming industry ?

Watch all Youtube Videos as Default in High Quality : Including 720 p Videos ! [ Script Update ]
Written on 5:30 AM by Rahul Mathur
Hello Humanoids . You must be aware of tons of greasemonkey scripts available for Youtube , such as Youtube Enhancer, random color changing scripts and lots more , but i have always been a user of this script which can run Youtube Videos in High Quality ( this script can even run 720 p ! - that's freaking clear man ) .
And yes , if you are in doubt if there are videos which are True 720 p resolution video on Youtube , then clear your doubts : There are hundreds of them over there on YOutube, you can have a glance at the list created by code developer here .
Firstly , How do i Install the script ?
To install this script , you need to have Firefox . To install this script , you need to install an addon called : Greasemonkey . Once you install the addon , go to this link and click on Install . Rest shall be self explanatory .
So what all can this script do ?
To see videos in high quality , there is an option called " View in High Quality " below the Youtube Video or you can add fmt=22 or fmt=18 you could make it high quality , sometimes it works but sometimes it doesn't . But now , with this script you don't have to click a damn thing : Just install this script and you get every video in high quality plus you get to see HD video without refreshing the window as the script uses AJAX .This script was recently updated , hence i am writing about it .
But i have a slow internet connection. Is there any way to stop this script from loading the 720 p videos ?
Yes , just go to the Grease monkey console and Edit it , you shall come across an option called : use HD , who's value will be True , just change the value to false.
By the way it defeats the purpose of the script , i recommend that if you have a good internet connection : Use this script.
This script is doing wonders for me and i am loving it , watching all Youtube Videos in High quality makes watching video a great experience !
Also , i created a list of Greasemonkey Scripts for Google fanboys here . Dont forget to have a glance at it .
Hope this helped you ,

[ How to ] Remove Search Bar from Embedded Videos [ Youtube ]
Written on 8:47 AM by Rahul Mathur
Hello Humanoids . Today , Youtube released many updates , they got some layout changes , they also updated embedding code with variety of resolutions but with the embedded feature came the Uber lame feature called : Search bar . This bar just sticks to the video and totally spoils the frame .
But there is a way to Remove the search bar now thanks to Seedlifestyle .
What you need to do is this :
- Paste the code in your post editor from Youtube dot com
- Now , just add ;showsearch=0 after the url inside the embedding tag
- For example : the url inside the embedding code is : http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=29Ro5gPi6OU&hl=en&fs=1 , and if you have a code without : &,hl=en&fs=1, then just add ;showsearch=0 after the url itself . Thanks Jim :)
- What you need to do is - Just add ;showsearch=0 after the url, now the result will be : http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=29Ro5gPi6OU&hl=en&fs=1 ;showsearch=0 .
And Poof ! The search bar is gone .

Nokia N97 : The iPhone Killer ? Sure - Minus the looks !
Written on 7:51 AM by Rahul Mathur
Hello Humanoids . Sorry yet again , but i have exam tomorrow but i have little bit of time today so though of posting this right now .
Nokia today launched N97 which was exclusively featured by Scobleizer on his blog, i was highly impressed by the looks but the Design was totally ugly, especially the white one, made it look like one of the Cheap Fake " Made in China " Mobiles, sigh .
img source - Gizmodo.
Anyways , here are the list of features , price , availability , images, and yeah it will be concluded with three of the best video on N97.
Features :
The N97 makes it easy to update social networks automatically with real-time information, giving approved friends the ability to update their “status” and share their “social location” as well as related pictures or videos.
img source - Engadget.
The home screen of the Nokia N97 mobile computer features the people, content and media that matter the most. Friends, social networks and news are available by simply touching the home screen.
img source - Gizmodo
The 16:9 widescreen display (640×360 pixels) can be fully personalized with frequently updated widgets of favorite web services and social networking sites.
The N97 is also perfectly suited for browsing the web, streaming Flash videos or playing games. Both the physical QWERTY and virtual touch input ensure efficiency in blogging, chatting, posting, sending texts or emailing.
The N97 supports up to 48 GB of storage, including 32 GB of on-board memory, expandable with a 16 GB microSD card for music, media and more.
This is complemented by excellent music capabilities, full support for the Nokia Music Store and continuous playback time of up to 1.5 days.
The N97 also has a 5-Megapixel camera with high-quality Carl Zeiss Tessar optics, 16:9 and DVD quality video capture, and support for services like Share on Ovi for immediate sharing over HSDPA and WLAN.
Based on the S60 5th Edition platform, the N97 measures 117.2 x 55.3 x 15.9 mm and weighs 150 g. Available ports include TV Out via standard 3.5 mm audio jack. The phone provides access to world-class game titles with its N-Gage support.
The BL-4C (1500 mAh) battery provides about 400 hours of standby time, 320-400 (3G/GSM) hours of talk time, 4.5 hours of video playback and over 37 hours of audio playback.
The Nokia N97 is expected to begin shipping in the first half of 2009 at an estimated retail price of EUR 550 before taxes or subsidies.
Via - SymbianOp
So in other words , it has everything what iPhone Lacks : From Copying and pasting , to seding multiple messages , from having a great camera and replaceable batters , this mobile has it all . It is expected to be available 6 months after the start of 2009 and its priced at 550 Euros .In case you didn't know This is the first touch screen N series mobile .
