Found another portable internet browser to add up to my list..

The browser's design is very simple yet loaded with very useful tools.

Or if you are writing an article you can have half of the window for your site and the other half for your reference, making rewriting very easy and faster cause you won't be switching from window to window anymore.

Portable Safari 3.1.2

Finally found it, after about a week of searching the net.. I mentioned on my earlier post that my list of portable browsers should be four but have three instead namely firefox, opera, and chrome, because i haven't found a portable safari yet.. Now my list is complete..

The best feature of Safari for me is the preloaded nav bar.. After Installation you immediately have links to sites that maybe helpful or use often like Google Maps, Wiki or YouTube.. And you can use it on Windows platforms..

This Portable app does not require installation like the other portable browsers I posted here.. Just download then double-click the executable app then your ready to surf the net..

Found A Solution On How To Recover Deleted Posts

This afternoon I was deleting some of my un-necessary tags/labels on my post when I accidentally deleted all of my posts.. I immediately searched the internet for help and found some forums that suggest there are only two options, contact blogger support, or copy and paste my posts feeds in feedburner. I went to blooger support and read the guidlines sadly, they only cater to 3 specific subjects, none of them was mine and they pointed me to the forum to post for help.. After an hour a blogger replied and said that he wish he could help but there's no way it can be done.. So went to feed burner to find out that my feeds there are only summaries. By that time I was convinced that I can't get my posts back and just get over with it.. After having dinner I went back on my computer to surf the net on something that I can blog about when I remembered I syndicated my posts on other services like Google Reader, Netvibes, and MyYahoo.. I went to Google reader first and found all my posts there even my very first post in full including the images and dates of posting.. So for about an hour I spent copy pasting and publishing my posts again..

Accidentally deleted all my post..

A while ago i was trying to edit some of the labels in my posts.. Removing some unnecessary tags that i had.. Then it happend, clicked delete while all my posts are selected.. I've searched all over the internet to find a solution for hours now and the immediate solution was to copy my posts from my feeds in feedburner. Unfortunately my feeds there are in summary form so it's no use again.. My final option was to contact blogger support, but they only cater support to some 3 specific topics and points me back to the support forum where i have to wait for someone to reply on the question i posted earlier.. Wish someone will reply to my question really fast with the solution cause some people on the forums I visited said that I have to act within 24hours to recover my posts after that all my posts will be gone forever.. If someone out there have a solution pleeeaaaassee leave me a comment or send me an email with instruction on what to do.. My email address is murk.core@gmail.com thanks in advance..

Windows Explorer Alternatives - Desktop File Browsers

Having problems about the functionality of your default Windows file explorer? Having to open too many windows while your copy pasting files? Or is organizing your files end up in having so many items in your task bar you can't even read the labels cause your task bar is all clutered up and squeezed thinly against each other? Don't you wish sometimes you browse files in your computer much like you do browsing the net with today's tab supported browsers? Isn't it much easier if you could open more panes in one window? If your fed up with your default file explorer like me it's time you try one of these file browsers..

Portable Browsers - Opera, FireFox And Chrome

As a follow up post for the Chrome Portable.. I think I also should be posting for the other popular browsers for others who prefer the other two.. So here it is..

Google Chrome Portable

Anyone Of You Use Google Chrome? I've been using Chrome for about 3 months now and I think it's nice.. The only downside about it is you can't install as many addons and plugins as you do in Firefox and IE and the crashes.. But I like it cause of the simplicity of the layout and the ease of use.. Less plugins means less toolbar and more room for browser window, so you get a larger fuller view of sites you visit..

There's something strange on how my chrome was behaving this past few days.. It doesn't store search engines, even the default search engine, and it doesn't display my recently visited pages anymore,, And this morning It just went crazy.. It crashed too often not even allowing me to key in a search.. So I decided to uninstall it and download a fresh copy.. But no luck.. Tried the newest version wich is still in beta but it didn't work.. I was about to give up and revert to using Firefox as my default browser when I remembered that there's a portable version of Chrome.. So started searching through Firefox and I opened about 11 tabs checking every results from my search.. I'm using it right now.. Guess what still not working... Back to using Firefox till I figure out what's wrong with my computer.. If you know anything why this is happening, what's wrong with my PC, or knows a solution to this, I will be really glad if someone comment on what to do.. Need help really bad...

Summer Is Officially Here

Went out of the house a while ago and noticed the fog and the cool breeze... Signs to tell that it's officially summer.. I've known that from experience.. When I was younger when I go out early in the morning like 4, 5 in the morning, yes I'm already awake that early when I was younger, now I'm still awake till early mornings, anyways, when I go out I always remember that foggy summer mornings and that calm cold breeze.. But during the day the temp is way up on the thermometer at 37degC at average and could go even higher than that... I can also see a lot of kids playing out  the streets in the afternoon, signs that school is out for the summer vacation.. And tourists are flocking their way here, when I was younger, there aren't as many. It may be because of the water and cable (wakeboard) park here.. A wakeboarding world championship was held here, I haven't got the final results yet.. Yesterday was the juniour championships....

Anyways, despite the heat... I feel great that it's summer time.. My favorite time of the year..

Worm To Attack April 1st

So many buzz about this worm 's all over the net. The name is Conficker C, some former versions have been identified and found cure but this one might be even more powerful, complicated, and probably more virulent than it's predecessors. So as always update your OS versions, update your antivirus and antimalware protections.. You might wanna do a full scan of your PC's in case a virus or malware is lurking somewhere as it might complicate things more later.. And this may also be the right time to back up your files....

Two Freeware Photo Editing Softwares that I'm Using

I found out about this about a year ago when I wanted to remove those red eyes from some of the photo's I took on our New Years party..

I think I'm getting good at finding free stuffs on the net.. I found a pretty good antivirus that offers really good protection without limitations for free.. They actually have another enterprise something version which you will have to buy but the free one offers the same protection as the paid one.. I tried it and replaced my old antivirus and I'm very much satisfied cause it detected and deleted a password viewer something virus, a heuristic type virus, and a worm which 2 of my old antivirus never detected, although the other one detected the worm it can't seem to

Another 3D Tutorial Nailed

Iwent up to the Blender website to take another tutorial. It's making 3D mountain this time. It was really easy took me about 15 minutes max to make it. Oh.. About the previous model i made, the simple man. I said last time that I'm going to make it move. Apparently I hit the wrong key on my keyboard and it didn't go as it was supposed to. So I ended up doing a different tutorial.. I'll try the other one later..

Here's some screen shots..

Grizzly Polar Bear Cross

I was watching National Geographic Channel this afternoon and this episode about the evolution of bears nailed me to the couch.. It seems that grizzly bears are not the original resident bears back then.. There was a bigger one they called the short nosed bear which is like twice the size of a grizzly. But the grizzly succefully replaced it in time.. The scientist was saying that the grizzly or brown bear is the most adaptable bear species as it can evolve in such a short period of time.. Adapting to it's environment.. What is more amazing is we might be witnessing an evolution in progress as there where sightings of a new species of bear.. It's white looks a lot like a polar bear but a bit off white.. And it has his dark rings around it eye.. They took DNA samples and confirmed it was indeed a cross between grizzly and polar bear.. Perhaps these highly adaptable animal is thinking ahead for it's survival..

I searched the net and found this site with actual pictures of it back in '06. ESPN Outdoors

Maybe you already knew this but I'm from halfway around the globe so it probably didn't make a lot of buzz here when the news came out..

Freeware 3D Softwares

I just stumbled upon these free 3d animation softwares on the net.. I never thought There would be one for free, but i found some.. and most of them are as good as those expensive ones.. They have all these tutorials available made by blender support team themselves and more tutorials from other users. It alll started when I wanted to make a 3D mod for my other blog that I started surfing the net for a free 3D software.. I'm now in the make a simple human part of the tutorial.. And I'm gonna animate it in the next step.. Don't you think it would be nice to know how to make a simple 3D model for yourself? And oh.. I'm using Blender2.5 there are more free softwares on
