Negaraku! - The Malaysia News Aggregator

Reading blogs and local news website is the most reliable source of info for me, sometimes its nice to read the mainstream just to compare whats being said. But having to go to multiple sites could be pretty difficult!

Planet my is one news aggregator that i have seen which pretty much shows registered website’s news on a single page.

I have been a regular on  noktahhitam and today i found out of the latest project of Negaraku.net. Another news aggregator that covers mostly political and news from many different sources. I like the way it looks as compared to what im used to before. Congrats Noktah Hitam and hopefully it keeps improving from time to time!

Facebook..addictive?

We had friendster,myspace,orkut now there is facebook. Ive had accounts in pretty much all of them but its long gone now. Facebook has been the in thing since it made its appearance sometime ago. At first i found it rather clutter! Too many application and just too much to handle. Then when i actually setup my facebook account i thought it was brilliant!

My favourite part is the fact that you need to use your real name, your school/work info has to be accurate.This truly gives the word networking a real meaning. The groups and pages is another awesome feature as it gives members to join little communities of like minded people.Friends from school who your lost contact with, colleagues your haven’t met in ages suddenly start re-appearing, together with that you meet people you never want to meet,but there is a ban button for that

I personally am in a few of them and its awesome!! Facebook is also gone soo mainstream that politicians,artist and even sports people are on it now. It gives them another avenue to be with their fans/supporters and well wishers.

Now is facebook addictive? Not for me it isn’t..How is it for you?

Now the bad part…is it addictive?

Remove Crap From System Tray

This is a great tip that i found. I use Vista at home and i hate to see too many icons on my systems tray so this is how you get rid of it ->

It drives me crazy when applications install themselves into the system tray without giving me a choice during setup. QuickTime has no good reason to be in the system tray, but it’s there anyway after you install iTunes.

To remove it, all you have to do is right-click on the icon in the system tray, and choose “Quicktime Preferences” from the menu.

Click on the Advanced tab.

Near the bottom, uncheck the checkbox for “Install QuickTime icon in system tray”

If you are using Windows Vista, you will get this message when you close the dialog window.

Just click the “This control panel works correctly” button, and the icon should be gone forever.

Google Laser Beam Day!

Noticed the Google logo today?? I was cracking my head on what it and  finally i figured it out via a fellow bloggers site.

On this day (May 16), American physicist Theodore Harold Maiman fired the first laser beam at Hughes Research Laboratories.

According to NYT, this first laser shone with the brilliance of a million suns. Its beam spread less in one mile than a flashlight beam spreads when directed across the room.

Google is also celebrating the day with this new logo on their homepage. But were you able to recognize that this is Google logo ? I couldn’t.

Facebook Chat in Firefox Sidebar

Like Google Talk, you can also run the Facebook Chat application from Firefox sidebar.

The advantages are that you need not open your Facebook homepage to see a list of friends that are online and second, you can talk with Facebook friends while reading any web page in Firefox.

To run the Facebook chat messenger from Firefox sidebar, press Ctrl+Shift+B to open the Bookmarks Organizer.

Now go to Organize -> New Bookmark and type the following address:

http://www.facebook.com/presence/popout.php

Also tick the check-box the says “Load this bookmark in the sidebar”. You may save this under “Bookmarks Toolbar” so you can open Facebook chat window in a single click.

You can do something similar in Opera - Press F4 to open the Opera sidebar and drag the above Facebook link onto that Opera Sidebar.

I have been searcing high and low for a new theme for delirium but its just not working!? I tried a theme for about 2 days and i decided its crap and reverted to my old theme again!
