Posted on January 29, 2012 by Ziyan Junaideen

A Search Tip : Search for Content with a Specific File Type

Posted on January 17, 2012 by Ziyan Junaideen

Bing and Google SearchLooking for some thing? Some thing of a specific file type. I often search for white-papers and power-point presentations that might contain helpful information about what I am learning and I am sure you do the same for what interest you. Are you using the filetype  keyword in your search? If not, filetype is a cool keyword which will restrict the search-space to files with a specific file-type (extension).

IDM – Resuming download that doesn’t resume

Posted on January 14, 2012 by Ziyan Junaideen

Internet Download ManagerIDM is a great tool to download files from the Internet and I use it often. Most of the time its a time saver, but some of the time its nuts and doesn’t resume a download (I doubt its a IDM fault).

IDM tries to restart the download if a download has failed. If it can’t it will open the page that triggered the download and see if it works. But at this moment if it fails then its time to download the file from scratch. But wait… try this out. Continue reading →

Warrior – A awesome story, good music…

Posted on December 17, 2011 by Ziyan Junaideen

Warrior 2011Honestly, Warrior has truly stunned me by its story. The day when I saw the banner in some renting store I thought it was good for the ‘animals’. But I ended up attaining a copy and in the first few minutes I was like ‘money down the drain’.

But what the story had for later was amazing. Kept me tuned in to my laptop forgetting me about the exam that is to start day after tomorrow. It’s about fighters, but its a hell of a  story that can make your heart skip a beat or two. Its one of those very few films that have gotten me to the edge of my seat and excited all the time (well except @ the beginning). Watch it and you will love it…  Continue reading →
