Alesti.com – Online RSS reader ( review )

Hi all,

As you all know…I’m an avid blog reader and blogger, I used to read almost 100 blogs starts from MS technology,MSDN, MVP’s to science etc.

   But I never satisfied with the readers and web readers until I’ve seen feedDemon(s/w) and Alesti(online reader). Thanks to Jayaveer who introduced those to me.

First I started to collect all my feeds from various webreaders like LIVE.com and google’s reader..and then subscribed under FeedDemon. Finally exported to OPML and imported here @ alesti. I tried it and working fine and satisfied with the both the readers.

 Features to look in Alesti

(1) Its a simple, user-friendly, free “Web 2.0” feed reader.

(2) Supports RSS and Atom feeds.

 (3) Uses standard compliant web techniques like Ajax

(4) Its quite faster than anyother I;ve tried.

 (5) More news @ http://www.alesti.org/ Hope this would be useful for blogreader looking for webreaders..

Currently subscribed to : 89 blogs, my blog Hits : 11374

Tips to enable/disable the USB drives in WinXP

hi all.

        I had some situation to limit my USB usage...I was looking for some free software for doing the same. When I called my friend (Admin, working in branded MNC)..he shared this secret of disabling the USB drives to the employees. Yes, In big companies they will play with reg.settings else in BIOS to disable the USB for data theft.

 

here is the crux to break that settings..

 

In Run >Regedit go down to the following keys…H_L_Machine > System > controlset > services > usbstor

 

  (Step 1) Right click the usbstor and set the permission’s to whom you want to enable and disable

 

  (Step 2) In right windows, double click Start and change the Value Data [0x00000003(3)] to  [0x00000003(4)]
        *3- for enabling
        *4- for disable the same

  (Step 3) Go to this path C:\WINDOWS\inf and check for the file usbstor.inf and give full permisson to ur login id… Try after each step, hope this would help to get the access to USB.

 

Enjoy

javascript:function reverse() – Worth to give a try…

Today I got an Email from my friend asking me try the following code in IE address bar. I was quite surprised to see this script get executed in the IE Address bar itself. It worth to give a try..

Paste this script onto ur IE address bar……………its cool try this : 

 javascript:function reverse() { var inp = " TSEB EHT SI HSEHAM   ……rebmemer n !! krow lufesu emos od & oG "; var outp = ""; for (i = 0; i <= inp.length; i++) { outp = inp.charAt (i) + outp ; } alert(outp) ;}; reverse();
