Easiest Install Apps After Reinstall OS
Especially when we install a new operating system, reinstalling our programs takes up an enormous amount of valuable time. Even when we have an up and running operating system, installing new application usually translates into pausing our important work and supervising the setup process.
How great would it be to be able to select the desired program to be installed, and have it install into our system in the background with all the right options checked? Even more so, how great would it be to do this with multiple applications simultaneously so that while we work, a number of our selected applications install on our system in the background?
Use an Old Linux Computer to Put your Baby to Sleep
If you are not a geek, let me explain the logic of this very simple program.
The program will first auto-eject the CD-ROM drive of your computer and then it will close that open tray. This open-close loop will run forever unless you terminate the program manually.
while [1 = 1] do #eject cdrom eject #pull cdrom tray back in eject -t done
Now the interesting part — using just these four lines of code, a geek turned his old Linux* computer into a baby rocker.
He attached a string between the tray of the CD-ROM drive and the baby seat and as the tray would open and close repeatedly, the smooth movements were enough to put his baby to sleep. Awesome.
[*] you are not on on Linux, you can build a similar Baby rocker program for Windows using Autohotkey software.
Download Multiple Files from RapidShare and more
Rapidshare is probably the most popular file sharing platform that is used by millions of users everyday. Unlike Premium users, regular peeps have to suffer and go through a lot of hassle which includes the stupid wait time, captcha and other stuff.
Recently I have stumbled upon a Rapidshare utility that supports downloading from Rapidshare and other file sharing websites. Based of Java, FreeRapid Downloader is an application that only requires you to copy and paste the url from your browser to this app and leave the rest to the downloader.
Key features includes the ability to support for concurrent downloading from multiple services, downloading using proxy list, shows download history, clipboard monitoring, auto shutdown options, simple CAPTCHA recognition and a lot more.
It works with all the major operating systems including MS Windows, Linux and MacOS.
