- Outlook Express and Messenger in XP : How to disable Windows Messenger ?
I formated my XP(Pro) and was trying to reinstall the same. It was easy and once i finished installing i tried the other settings. Installed the drivers and configured the Outlook.. Oops.. the windows messenger comes in .. damn I don't use this.. but its not going until i close the OE ( outlook express). I tried to eliminate this issue (Yeah by searching the net) and got a solution for the same.
Start/Run/Regedit
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Outlook Express.
Check for a value name called Hide Messenger (data type: REG_DWORD (DWORD Value) ) Change the value to 2. If that particular DWORD is not there, add the same.
Exit your registry, restart the OE.
But I would prefer this messenger to be uninstalled. :)

Thu, 24 Jan 2008 08:18:00 +0000 - Save Buckets: Save a whole load of money
Vinod was with me in Bangalore. We were room mates and friends. Four months back He went to UK to do his MBA from a university there. Last week he pinged me ans said he need to buy some electronics items from the stores in UK, and I advised him to search in the web. After a couple of days, when he was on line, I asked him whether he have brought all that he wants, he said he is now planning to buy an MP3 Player now. He gave me a link to search for mp3 players.
When I was going through the list of players, he said that is the best price he have ever came across, and need to buy one. The list looks neat and the price tag was also wonderful. He was in search of a 2GB+ MP3 player and with a decent battery life. He was looking for a branded one. I searched the same and came across some choices and left a message to him, after shortlisting around five players from that site. He said he will choose one from the same. Save buckets, the site have an impressive tag line “Save A Whole Load Of Money” . They have also got an option to give them a price and product so that if ever the price falls to that range, they will intimate you.
The site needs an option to select stuffs by price(Yeah am sure that they will include the same)...
The next time when you are in to shopping from the net, try Save buckets as well, and most probably you will come across something that helps you to save a whole load :)

Mon, 21 Jan 2008 07:02:00 +0000 - Fetch a Career
Finding a couple of right careers is difficult now a days. Many a people still try applying to career advertisement in News paper advertisements and wait(yeah that is a long wait) for there interview/ test call/ letter. many of the applications may land in the bin. When you realise the same, it will be late. In this days of Internet the best way to find a job is to get the same from online and the results( whether you are in to the interview or not will be instantaneous) Here is the normal course for a fresher/ experienced.
Register in a “complete job portal”
Register with the sites which have the complete career listing. And which responds faster.
Get your resume done by a professional
A little money spend will definitely make some difference ( in results).Send to the rated jobs first
Yeah, you can send to the other jobs a little laterPrepare for the test/ interview
Be cool, and prepare for the interviewGet the offer letter
Yeah yeah, during interviews my attitude will be “If you are not going to take me, it's you who is going to loose in the game”.(That will definitely help to get hold of an offer letter).One of the things you should remember in between is the communication. The communication between you and the prospective employer. Proper communication helps them remind that you are a candidate with skills(Don't Over do his part). When ever you attend an interview, and even if you are not selected its better to leave a thank you note to the person/ company HR for allowing you to attend the interview.
* this can be implemented by a fresher, For an experienced the best way to fetch a job is through reference.
Mon, 21 Jan 2008 06:05:00 +0000 - Shure : Head Phones
I remember those days in which i bought some of the head sets from local vendors, that were cheap, around Rs. 15 per piece (exchange rate $1 = Rs. 39 (approx) ). That were things for the basic needs.. To hear Sound! (or Noise ;) )Last day i was looking for some quality head phone and came across wize, a site which was offering electronics goods(they are offering other stuffs as well). And there, I came across a brand called shure headphones
They look nice in the picture, and the price tag is also a little high.. but the price tag will definitely increase the responsibility (yeah! Quality I mean). Now I know the importance of quality and what it really mean. The reviews I saw about shure headsets were good. The site linked above itself have got some links. I think I should give a try. What about you?
From $97 to $500 you have lot's of options to choose from.. make a wise decision, compare reviews, and look for the hint called wize score if you buy.
* this is just an intro(and its my opinion). If you want to know about the product, visit the above link or just “Search”.
Mon, 21 Jan 2008 05:32:00 +0000 - Houston Rodeo: I want to be there.
February 18 2008 is the round up and best Bites competition and from March 3rd the real action begins. If you are wondering what I am talking about, here is the clue. Am talking about a grand event that is going to happen in Houston. Yeah! You thought that correct. Its all about the Houston Live stock Show and Rodeo (Originated from Spanish, means round up). The entire cow boy (oops, cow girls as well) action like barrel wrestling, bull riding etc will be a treat to watch. Another attraction will be that of rodeo clowns (works to prevent injuries to competitors) during the bull fight. Though the Rodeo was out from the main stream TV coverage some years back, its gaining some popularity now a days , thanks to the full day coverage offered by the sports channel. Some controversy is on against Rodeo, Still I think of the same as a pure sport.
Last day, my friend was excited, he was saying that he is trying for Houston Rodeo Tickets this year and he is trying to be there to watch the spectacular show. All the excitement and feelings about the show was evident from his words and yes, the same is getting transmitted to me. I think I too have to try for some Houston Rodeo concert tickets. See the whole action and get back to here and start a new blog, exclusively for Rodeo.. Oops, I mean Houston Rodeo.

Tue, 15 Jan 2008 09:06:00 +0000 - Personal Loans - for my IT needs.
My wife needs a new computer, a desktop/Laptop under $1000. She stumbled in to one, now what is needed is a personal loan. And she is in search for the options on personal loans . Being a tech savvy I too agree with her in the fact that she must get a new computer, but an immediate financial burden! Is that necessary? She was browsing through many sites, was making some calls etc to get the details about the personal loan.
As she was making calls I found a couple of sites offering unsecured loans . The one I found attractive is “Think Cash”. Have to get in touch with them for more info about the same and the documents I need to submit. The main attractive factor is that there is no prepayment closure charges or penalties :)
* This was just an intro. Read the terms and conditions to know more about the site and their pattern of business.
