My Insights

I just discovered a ‘feature’ on my computer. When I press a button on my Microsoft Mouse which (Labeled ‘Instant Viewer’ in control panel), I get the following-

This is basically a window switching utility. Trouble is, I NEVER INSTALLED ANY SUCH UTILITY! I can’t complain - I actually like this. However, I would still like to figure out how I got to benefit this little feature. And just so we are clear, I don’t believe in a guardian angel.

Here is a list of software that I recently installed-

1. Safari
2. FolderShare
3. Digsby
4. Google Desktop

I recently installed a windows theme on my XP machine. It is fairly simple - you simply have to replace uxthemes.dll with a patched version that allows you to use non-microsoft signed themes in xp. No Bloatware.

Now for the screenshots of my machine. Some details have been obfuscated.

Do you twitter? Do you use the twitter Facebook application to update your Facebook status? If so, then this is for you.

The original Twitter Facebook application puts an annoying "is twittering" at the beginning of the status message in Facebook. The developer of the Twitter app said that this would be removed once Facebook removes the "is" from their status messages. To make a long story short, Facebook removed the "is" but the twitter application still puts in "is twittering".

The solution is to use TwitterSync. Twitter Sync is another Facebook application that not only removes the "is twittering" from your status updates but goes a step further to let you use customized verbs. It also lets you create filters on your twitters.

TwitterSync is worth checking out. [Link]
