Facebook's new layout

Facebook ( the world’s most used social networking site)  has recently “simplified” its look, and yes its really simple from what it was before – complicated. I had invited a few Orkut users to Facebook, they joined it and then were not active at all on FB. I asked them for the reason for being inactive and they said that FB is complicated and difficult to understand, and Orkut is much simpler and easy to use  :)

Well, now I will be glad to get them back after the re-arrangement of layout of FB.

FB has taken good care of the things that we mostly look for, the notifications, friend requests & messages are given most priority. We can see all of these three just next to the logo in the new layout. And the rest stuff – Photos, Events, Applications, etc. are shifted to the left side and the bar that used to be there at the bottom is gone, except for the “Chat” on the right-bottom side of the screen. Coming to chat, you can see your online friends on the left side of the screen too while you’re at “Home”.

The Home and Profile links have shifted to the top-right corner of the screen, and the Settings and Logout option are all added to “Account” scroll-down link :)

To sum it all, the new layout looks a lot cleaner than the previous one.

Sorry, I don’t have the time to post the review and the features, but you can read it all over HERE & download it :)

First of all, sorry for not being able to update the blog since quite long…actually I was a bit busy with school and some other stuff :(

So, here I am with some cool new stuff!
Recently I found a site (SlideShare) which is just like a database of PPT Presentations. It is a Presentation sharing site where all can upload their presentations and browse through the ones uploaded by others.

SlideShare also has featured area where you can see all the cool presentations and documents that are there!

And lastly, you can download all the presentations that you like :D

You will see in this guide that explaining how to do this for uTorrent basically explains how to do it for any bittorrent client. On to the tutorial…

Opening ports for a bittorrent client has nothing to do with the bittorrent client (well, except for the port number….that’s kind of important). Opening ports is all about working with your router’s settings. I will be using a Netgear router for this tutorial. Most routers’ have very similar settings and options, so it shouldn’t matter if you don’t have a Netgear router.

Step 1: Find out what port your program uses.

I use uTorrent, but you may use a different BitTorrent client. In just about every BitTorrent clients’ options, there is a place to change the port it uses. For uTorrent, you just go to Options->Preferences, and the connection options pop right up. As you can see below, the port is 17120. Make sure you write down this port. You’ll need it later.

Step 2: Find out your network IP address.

Click on your start menu, and select run. Once the run box is up, type “cmd” in the box.

Now, a dos-like box will open up. Type in ipconfig and press enter.

Next, you will get a result like this.

Write down the IP address as you’ll need this later

Step 3: Log into your router settings page.

This can be done by entering 192.168.1.1 into the address bar of your browser. After you have done this, you should be promoted to log into the router settings page. The default username is “admin” and the default password is “password”.

Step 4: Click on Port Forwarding/Port Triggering

Step 6: Forward your port from Step 1.

Now, you should be given a few different fields to fill in about the port you are forwarding. First, you want to give the port a name. I usually just name it the same as the program it is associated with, so in this case it would be uTorrent. Second, you want the port to be open for both TCP and UDP. Next, you put in the port from Step 1. It may ask for a range, but you can just put the same number for both the starting and ending ports. Finally, you put in your server IP address as found in Step 2.

Congratulations! Now, you should be able to download and share much faster!
