Show winamp now playing status in Yahoo Messenger
On previous post , i wrote a post on showing now playing song in winamp. Sadly the company now closing their website. But luckily this sunday morning, i found a way of showing now playing song on YM(yahoo messenger) , and i think it is even better than the previous one (Y!Amp).
It requires a plugin that have to be install in your computer. It works for YM 9,8, and also 7. I haven't tested it yet in YM 7. Just assuming it was right from this website. So, this how it works.
Just download the plugin below. Then install. Done! You can configure the plugin in winamp > option > preference > plugin > general purpose
For FAQ, visit this website.

Download Songs From Imeem
Imeem.com is a site that offers users to upload songs, make playlists, and embed them on web pages for free with a Flash player. When visitors visit that page, they have the choice to listen to whichever songs the imeem’s user has on his or her playlist from the Flash player, but they can’t download it. On imeem.com you have the choice of buying it on Amazon.com or on iTunes. Some of these songs are done by singers who are not with any record companies so buying their songs is out of the question.
I’m a music fan and there are times when I go to myspace.com, in some people’s pages, sometimes they have the imeem player embedded with nice songs playing, which I never heard of before. However, the song’s artist or the album’s name isn’t listed with the song. So, do you really think I accept of not owning those songs by anonymous singers? NO, I found a way to download them.
To Get the mp3s
To get your hands on imeem’s mp3s, it consists of three easy steps.
Step 1 :
Go to http://file2hd.com/
Step 2 :
Paste the URL
Save to your Hard Disk
Step 3 (optional) :
The default format is flv. You can convert the file to mp3 with your favourite converter. I used Xilsoft converter. Currently i havent found free converters yet. If you have, do notify me. :) ...continue reading

Peer Guardian : Inrease Download Speed + Secure P2P Transfer
Recently I asked my friend on how to increase torrent download speed. He told me to use a software called Peer Guardian. I asked him for more detail, but he refused. Then after doing some experiments and Googlypedia research, i finally agreed with him. This is a screenshot of my torrent download.
Fyi, my internet speed connection is only 1Mb/s (since it is among the fastest in Malaysia.. durh) . But it still fast. The point i'm showing this screen shot is to let you see the peers. All the peers in my connection is persistent seed. In my experience, persistent seed is good peers that contribute high upload.
Peer Guardian helps me to choose the best peers in my p2p connection. Peer Guardian works by blocking and logging all TCP/IP connections to and from known IP ranges used by known P2P foes, such as the RIAA, MPAA, MediaForce, MediaDefender, BaySTP, Ranger, OverPeer, NetPD, BitComet, Utorrent and more.
PeerGuardian is a powerful, yet small firewall program that was especially designed for P2P users who want to protect their computers from unauthorized searches instigated by private agencies and corporations.
To make sure that the block-list used to block malicious connections is up to date; PeerGuardian uses an on-line block-list Database that is continuously updated on a daily basis, so your privacy will remain safe while swapping files.
PeerGuardian is compatible with all TCP/IP based file sharing applications, such as Kazaa, iMesh, LimeWire, eMule, Grokster, DC++, Shareaza, and more. In short, PeerGuardian is the must have tool for any file swapper.
You can try download PeerGuardian and experiment yourself. PeerGuardian is 100% free. More quetion on PeerGuardian, visit the Pheonix Lab FAQ website.

"Big Bag" Theory
Yeah.. Like any other blogger, i would also like to increase my technorati and google page rank. This is some campaign i've joined. Thanks to Morning Monday Power.
* campaign starts here
You do not have to be tagged to play along. This game is simple and so are the rules.
1. Copy from *Start Copy Here* through *End Copy Here*
2. Add your site(s) to the list. Just be sure to post at each site you add.
3. Tag or don’t tag, your choice, however, the more tags you create the bigger the list will grow.
4. Let me know your blog’s name and url by leaving me a comment HERE. I will add you to the master list. (If you would like a scroll box code, leave me your email address and I will email it to you.) Scroll Box Example. (I decided not to use the box for the Big Bang for ease of copying.)
5. Come back and copy the master list back to your site, often. This process will allow late-comers to get as much link benefit as the first ones in. Once you are on the master list people who have participated earlier will update their bookmarks and help everyone lower than them out on the list.

Dangers of Sharing Folders on the Network
Do you know how danger it is to share folders in the network? Event though it is good and very useful, there are still some trouble that we could not realize in the back of our head. I would like to list some of the danger that could happen:
- Your computer will be working slow if someone using your shared folders, such as copying big file from your computer to theirs.
- Your computer is exposed to viruses and such malicious programs that came from users of your shared folders or we can say people in the network.
- This is the most troublesome. If there existed bad guys in your network, these people could possibly delete your most important file in your computer. More trouble if those morons deleted your windows file. Just imagine the hazard!
Most common mistake that a lot of people make after sharing the folder to the network is forgotten to unshare it. Unchecking the checkboxes will unshare the folder. If you want to know what folders are being shared by you, use Computer Management to show you all your shared folders. Go to Control Panel > Administrative Tools > Computer Management and expand System Tools > Shared Folders > Shares.
The ADMIN$, C$, and IPC$ is shared by default. You do not need to worry about that. Here are a few steps you can take to protect yourself from intruders in getting in your shared folders.
1. Unshare the shared folder after you’re done sharing the file to another person.
2. Use a money dollar sign $ at the end of the Share name to hide shared folders from being displayed publicly.
3. Use NetShare Monitor notify you when someone is accessing your shared folders.
4. Use a “router” instead of direct connect to the Internet as it gives you a layer of protection against intruders. Works only at Home.
5. Do not use Simple File Sharing. Go to Control Panel -> Folder Options -> click the View tab, and uncheck “Use simple file sharing”.
6. Finally, a decent firewall can protect you from intruder.
Now I’ll show you how easy and fast it is for an intruder to scan for open shared folders in network or Internet. There are many types of security scanners but I am going to use a simple, small and fast tool called “Angry IP Scanner” to scan hundreds and thousands of computers for shared folders.
I downloaded Angry IP Scanner 2.21 (since it is stable. the latest version is 3.0 beta. also available for linux and mac OS! +link+) and also the Windows Shares plugin. I ran a test scan on a range of IP addresses and found a few victims that has some folders being shared.
I simply use the Windows method of access another computer \\IP or \\HOSTNAME. In this case, I enter \\218.208.224.16 in Windows RUN and hit the OK button.
Within seconds, a window box appears displaying the shared folders. I can now access the victim shared My Documents folder and “maybe” even have the rights to change, add or delete files.
See how easy it is for an intruder to access your shared folders? Stop being a victim and start protecting yourself.

Hack Firefox for Faster Browsing
Ok, firefox is my favourite browser after all. Using a few tweaks here and there, we can make FireFox considerably faster, enable advanced tab options, make newer versions compatible with older extentions, run directly from a flash disk, and so much more. Today i would like to share a simple trick that you can do to make your firefox even faster. For those who are still using internet explorer, you should start using firefox and feel the different.
No need to be a hacker, or a computer freek. Just follow the steps and you should experience up to 40% faster for page transfers.
Here's how:
1. Open Firefox. In the address bar type about:config
2. Find browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs
3. Double click on it. So value = true
Note : if browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs is not showing, simply right click anywhere in the screen > new> string. Then, paste browser.tabs.showSingleWindowModePrefs . In the value column, type true.
4. Find network.http.pipelining
5. Double click on it. So value = true
6. Find network.http.pipelining.maxrequests
7. Double click on it. And change it from 4 to 100
8. No need to save this file. Simply close and restart Firefox. (close and open it again)

Monitor Sharing Files That Being Accessed in Home/Office Network
'Sharing Folders' is commonly used by people whom contracted to office, college or home network. Sharing is good. Like one of my colleague said, sharing is caring. However, there still be hazard when there's corrupted person attempted in the network. These people could cause a lot of trouble when they access your shared folder and delete your 2 month done thesis.
By default, you can easily know who is accessing your Shared Folder from the Computer Management. To do this, just right click on My Computer > Manage. Expand System Tools > Shared Folders. From there you can see what folders are shared, who is connected to your computer and what files are currently open by the person who is accessing your computer.
Hold on.. It's not a good news yet! There is still problems. Computer Management doesn’t notify you when someone is accessing your shared folders. It also doesn’t auto refresh to see the sessions and open files. Now is the good news! lol. Today I found this free utility that is able to monitor your shared folders and notify you when someone access your shared folders.
Now you no longer have to worry about your shared files being accessed by unknown persons on the network. You can make NetShareMonitor to keep eye on your shares while you get down to work. It will alert you on any file access and you can always check the log files for past sessions in case you have missed the alert.
The setting is simple. No need for installation. Just minimize it for it to work.
