Text Generator

So there is a demand for content and you don’t know where to get it from? Well I made a tool which works as a Text Generator. It works pretty neat and does the work well. It randomly generates text. It has been coded in Delphi.
Installation is not a big deal in this. All you have to do is download the tool from below and run it. Sometimes, computer hangs up when you ask it to generate 10000+ lines of text. But generating 10000+ lines of text for one page is useless.

Write and earn at home - Pratee

Writers all over the world are under a constant hunt for a web service which pays them for real. An organized approach for this is my new project called Pratee where people can earn from home. Anyone looking to make real cash from home or when they waste time at work can join Pratee. Each article is worth 2$ which may increase to 4$ soon after some modification to the code. Earning online was never this easy, all you need is good grammar and a little HTML knowledge (to make links). Good response came to this program especially from writers at digital point. Many people saw this opportunity of earning and joined it.

High speed on utorrent

I have a bsnl 2 mbps broadband connection which is known for its speed in my country. But speed equivalent to what I got in utorrent was never achieved before. For a standard 2 mbps connection, we should get a download speed of 256 kbps, I know , but the actual speed is never achieved. But this time I got real close to it by using utorrent and some very high seeded torrents. I got the torrents from mininova, which then asked me to install utorrent and download. I was astonished seeing the plain power and speed of these torrents. Yet utorrent was so simple to use.
I am not giving free publicity to utorrent, but I really liked the speed in which I could share and download files. Any new file I make, will be put on one of the torrent sites and download starts. If people like it, even they can seed it using utorrent.
You do have to remember that utorrent is not the only torrent downloading tool which gives high speed, there are many others.
Do remember that you can use torrents to share files under GPL or Free distribution only. Due to the ease of sharing, there is lot of piracy too.

US Recession hitting the technology world hard?

US Recession has been the cause of concern for people all over the world. Asian markets and other stock exchanges are going down because of this. There is also a possibility that this is affecting the technology world.

Due to recession in the US many big IT firms are being sold off at small prices and many people are losing their jobs. This means that the egg heads and the smart IT world is coming down. The trend follows in China and India where people in companies related to IT and technology outsourcing are losing their jobs.

I’m hopeful that this recession will be over and soon the world of IT and other technology will be back on track.

Tech36 Wiki ready

I decided to come up with a nice, fully SEO’ed CMS system and thus I made a Wiki system of my own. CMS systems like Mediawiki could be used but it is server based and we cannot install it if we don’t have direct access to the servers. My CMS system has the following features:

  1. Converts [ and ] into internal links.
  2. =bTextb= is converted to <b>Text</b>.
  3. =iTexti= is converted to <i>Text</i>.
  4. =3Text3= is converted as heading 3 (<h3>Text</h3>).
  5. HTML Tags are removed automatically (Anti-Spam engine).
  6. External Links cannot be put, :) so spammers will hate this website.
  7. Anyone can edit, so if one person puts a simple stub others will make it bigger and better.

I am not sure about releasing it as a commercial software or as open source but I will be making it public in the near future. I have set it up in the main part of this website too (http://tech36.com) so feel free to add content or edit it :D

Update: Due to spammers finding miserable ways to pollute it, I have removed the Wiki and replaced it with a forum.

Basic HTML tool

There are many WYSIWYG editors but all are very complex and usually very huge, some of them give you free bugs along with the software, so I made a tool that will help you with basic HTML. It is not a complex editor but it’s better than using notepad for making your HTML pages.

Has most of the common functions like making a heading, paragraph and lists, but I have to implement some stuff like emphasis and bold which is pretty simple.

Anyway hope this tool makes you HTML experience a bit better and another good thing about this is that it’s very light and has no bugs. There is another thing that I need to tell, as soon as you hit generate, a file called index.html will be created which will have all HTML code in it, so you won’t have to copy the code and then put it into notepad.

Quadratic Solution Calculator

Advance Maths

Today I installed VB in my computer and got to work as soon as I installed it. I did some reading and my brother taught me some tricks in it. It gave me some problems while installing, after installation there was no problem.

VB is easy and takes about 2 hours to learn the basics and make a simple program, but it is good if you have some previous programming because it will make your job easier. Well I made a program that calculates the solution for the equation ax² + bx + c = 0. It gives the 2 values of x that can satisfy the equation.

This is no complex program, has a very simple interface. I am working on a cool program tonight (the reason why I installed VB).
