    Make life simple So here it is. The most bare form of the ishani app. You might as well ask yourself, another dock app on the block. i might as well answer yes. I am not good enough for the big projects I think. I will be. He he. Anyway the application is ugly and only thing it does is show how it will be. I will be adding more features, kind of busy these days, that makes things more difficult. In any case, the preliminary work should be over in a couple of weeks. A brand new dock for your machine. Oh and I will get the Mac style including the spiral places container which is still only found on Macs. It is horrible I know, but it has got animation stuff and I will remove the window, make the icons look better, lot of work to do.

  I was sitting at home, when suddenly I got a request to write a splash form. So I wrote this. It  is fairly simple to implement. Just add a Windows Form to a new Visual Basic Project. Add a Timer Control to the Form, named ‘theTimer’ Now add two labels, one for a statement, other to show the countdown. I have named them lbl1 and tmrLabel. Go to its code of the Form and copy and paste this down. I have assumed the form name to be ‘MainFrm’. Run it and you are good to go. All with a fade in and fade out animation. Simple yet efficient. And to the friend who requested, it was a pleasure. :) '''<summary> ''' A simple Splash Screen with basic fade in and fade out animation ''' A Program by Sarthak Ganguly ''' </summary> ''' Released under GPLv3 License Public Class MainFrm    'Declaring an Enum with form status     Enum formStatus         formOpening         formShowing         formClosing     End Enum   

Internet Explorer, the web browser known to give us nightmares is back. IE had more flaws than features, limited addons, low speed, lack of support for web standards, no download manager, faulty Save actions and many more. IE7 and IE8 were good but yesteryear’s browsers, copies of more feature rich browsers already available. They provided too little too late. Finally the guys at Microsoft have pulled off a great show. In the newly furbished IE 9 you can find speed, ease of use, better addon support, a download manager, HTML 5 support, full CSS3 support and many more. On my test machine it outdid both Firefox and Opera (without any steroids) with ease. It also provides additional graphics rendering using hardware acceleration, making web animations look flawless.

A no nonsense web browser, urWeb is being made by me to suit the needs of the majority of internet users. Browse the web the way you want. Make it simple, fast , stylish and enjoyable. I am designing it to give you maximum screen real estate. Some of the unique features are as follows : - Maximum screen real estate, even caption buttons (minimize, maximize, close) can be hidden! Rename your bowser. It is your browser after all. You can name it <your name> if you don’t want the default name ‘urWeb’. You can surprise your friends that way! Block ads by default, speed sets and the like Add features you like, just send me a mail and I’ll try to work it out, else, you can add a feature to it yourself. You can be a part of the development team, anytime(even after init. dev work is done) I’ll put up a sample screenshot here, it is naked, I admit but it will build itself up real soon. I’ll also host it on sourceforge.net in a few days so that you can see the source code from time

  We all wish we had a faster than light network speed(well not really). But there are limitations we all have to face more than often. Anyway, that’s life. But you can tweak your network, thus allowing you to get better speeds. This tutorial is not a tutorial(read that again :)) but just a guide. I think you will benefit. Get a Download Manager Often long downloads get stuck due to a network failure. Chances are high that such half finished or worse, almost finished downloads will be lost. To prevent that and also to maintain consistently high download speeds you must get a download manager. I will list the download managers(my choice, sorry :)) Operating System Download Manager Windows Free Download Manager Linux (Debian) Toolsbysk Mac iGetter BSD wxdfast   Get a browser(aka get Firefox)   Yes I know Chrome, Opera and Safari are there, and some run faster too but Firefox addons (more than 2 billion now) beat them all. Believe me, use Firefox, with some hand
