Rapidshare Premium Account in Malaysia

Rapidshare is one of the major file hosting provider currently. Different types of files can be found here. Ranging from movies, songs, programs, documents, ebook etc. They do provide free access to the files but at a much lower speed and limited download slots. And most of the time, the slots are usually used up.

SO, if you are a heavy downloader, you may consider getting a premium account on Rapidshare.

How do you get it?

1) Getting an account

There are number of resellers in Malaysia that provides premium accounts. One good thing is, you can use maybank2u to purchase from them.
At the time of this posting, the cost of a premium account :

30Days = RM 36.50
90Days = RM 88.50
180Days = RM 159.50
1 Year = RM 283.50

I have their service personally twice and they delivered the account details within 24hours on both occasion. Pretty reliable.

2) So, you have a premium account. What’s next?

There are few sites where you can search for files hosted on rapidshare. Such as rapidshare1 [http://www.rapidshare1.com/] and rapid2me [http://rapid4me.com/]. But normally, I will use different sites to get what I’m looking for. Go ahead and google for it.

3) How do I download?

I prefer to use IDM [ Internet Download Manager - http://www.internetdownloadmanager.com/] to download from any sites. With this, you can pause or resume downloads at anytime. Get the rapidshare link from the sites and download it with IDM.


4) But the download speed is still slow?

Sometimes, the download speed can be slow due to various reasons that I don't wish to talk here. :) Anyway, one way to fix this is, convert your url into IP based. You can use this free service provided by RS2IP [http://rs2ip.anonymailz.com/]. This website basically converts your rapidshare urls into ip. Use the ip url instead and you can see better download speed.

5) Anything else?

There are lots of forum out there that shares rapidshare files among it’s member. Ask around or google for it. One good example is ForumW [http://www.forumw.org/].

Happy Downloading!! :)

How to write in Tamil on Facebook

Sometimes, I do feel like write in tamil on facebook. Being from a tamil education background, I enjoy do that and I feel we all should be since number of people who can write and read Tamil language are pretty much low nowadays.

Anyway, if you feel like want to write in Tamil [ Or any other major languages from Indian Continental ], may try this.

There is this free online editor that can help us to do this. Check out http://quillpad.com/tamil/ 


*** Edited - The website is no longer active. But you may use http://www.google.com/transliterate/Tamil

From the website itself,

Quillpad is a free online Indian language typing tool. You can type in Hindi, Gujarati, Punjabi, Marathi, Telugu, Tamil, Kannada, Malayalam, Bengali and Nepali. For example, when you type 'neenga eppadi irukkinga' in Tamil, Quillpad will convert it directly into Tamil script. If you write a word like 'nalan', first n should become 'ந' and the second n should become 'ன'. Quillpad will intelligently do that for you. No need to use shift keys or to memorize any key mappings. So 'ராத்திரி' can be written by typing 'rathri', 'raathiri' or 'ratri'. Quillpad can also predict if multiple words are possible for your input. You can click on the word to select from those options. In addition Quillpad allows you to type English words freely in between Tamil words. It intelligently transliterates them into Tamil.

It takes some practise before you get used to it. Give it a try and say "வணக்கம்" on your next Facebook post. :)

People in power

Being around people in power and seeing them misusing it for a wrong reason reminds me of Uncle Ben’s famous advice to Spidey [aka Spiderman], With Great Power, comes great responsibility. And how so true is it.

 

We often forget that people being a simple human makes mistake. Even spidey did some big time mess-ups during his adventures. There is practically no way to ensure 100% error free system if human is a vital part of it. No matter how simple or how frequent he is doing it, sooner or later he will make a mistake. He can’t help it. That’s the fundamental building block of a human being. That’s how civilization as we know today exist. People make mistake; people learn from it and try not to do it again.

 

So next time, please think twice before you make the decision especially if your decision has great impact on another human being. Think what spidey would do if he is you! J

Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch - Longest place name in the world

I was at wikipedia doing random clicking and reading. It's actually fun to do so, give a try. You will be surprise of things that you will come across. So, on that day, I was clicking around and landed up at this page. It's about a place in UK which claim to have the longest name in the world. It called "Llanfairpwllgwyngyllgogerychwyrndrobwllllantysiliogogogoch". It is in Welsh and in english it means " St Mary's Church in a hollow of white hazel near  the swirling whirlpool of the church of St Tysilio with a red cave ". Soon it became a tourist attraction where people get down from a train to take picture next to the signboard etc. It's not everyday you get to see that long of a sign board. Pretty Smart yeh!

The Simpsons Arcade Game - Windows Mobile Smartphone

"Donuts. Is there anything they can't do?"

That's one of the famous quotes from longest running TV animation / cartoon, "The Simpsons". One of my all time favorite of course. And my life long search came to an end when I finally found a Simpsons Game for WinMo / Smartphone devices.

"The Simpsons Arcade" was released by EA Mobile early this year for both WinMO and Iphones. The graphic is just plain 2D as it always been to keep the originality i believe and a very simple story line. Basically, you will be helping Homer to chase after a mysterious donuts. Little that he knows, the donut holds the key to a devious scheme by none other than Mr Burn and his gang. So, Homer will be facing obstacles along his way in 6 different levels. It's pretty simple and you can finish the game in less than an hour. However, the most important is the fact I can have my most favorite Tv series on my mobile phone :)

Note : If you would like to have this game, feel free to drop me a line.
