A command prompt which has commands in Natural Language !

Here's something that will surely blow up your mind. I'm designing a software that accepts natural language, processes it and then follows what is told. Currently, this project has been nicknamed as 'Synth'. For an instance, you want to start notepad. So, in the command box, you write:

I want to scribble. Please open the notepad for me!


And you press 'Enter'. Tada! Notepad opens! Like this you can launch many programs and folders just by natural language commands. You can also configure your computer in this way just as command prompt does.

I am currently working on this software and hence it is on developmental basis. When I will reach a stable stage, I will post the software on this blog. If anybody is interested in volunteering further development or if anybody is interested to provide suggestions, please do so by mailing us at davetheroyale@live.in.

I'll be happy to receive your suggestions.

Software Analysis - Restoration - Review

In my last post, I just taught you about deleting files using file shredding software, so that hackers cannot restore them. That’s why, I’m now going to teach you to restore files. For restoring files, you don’t need any kind of techy brain. You’ll just need a file recovery software. Note that this software only deletes those files which are deleted traditionally. If you have deleted a file using a file shredding software, then you have less than one per cent chance of recovering it.

After exploring the internet for hours, I found out this one. It’s called ‘Restoration’. As the name suggests, this software can restore deleted files. However, when I first used it, I found out that it can shred files too. Check out the main screen:

Software Analysis - File Shredder - Review


File Shredder – The name itself suggests it’s capability. It is a software that can delete a file permanently from the disk. But wait a second, you can do that work yourself, can’t you? Umm… Yes, but that doesn’t complete the work. When you delete a file traditionally, that is dragging the file to recycle bin and then emptying the bin, it does not delete the file but marks it for overwriting. To learn more, read my article on ‘What happens when you delete a file….’

Ok, I was quite happy with the graphical and somewhat attractive interface of the file shredder and it’s main screen is as follows:

Make your task easier - Have Notepad in "Send To" link

Many apply a registry tweak to have notepad as an option for unknown file types. We frequently see such files which are actually just text, but named with some odd file-extension. And then, some suspicious files which we want to make sure what the contents are. Well, in such cases where the registry tweak is applied, the downside happens to be that even some known files get associated with notepad - but no, all we want is to be able to open a file with notepad - the association part in such cases is unwanted interference. Also, notepad becomes a permanent fixture on the right-click menu - which is again an annoyance.

Go Green - Save Power of Your Computer using SONAR !!

SONAR technology is used by most of the ships and steamers to measure the depth of ocean or to locate any object  deep inside water. This technology is same as that used by bats who use it to get directions in dark places. Now, in this technology, a sound wave is sent inside the ocean which gets reflected at some point. The time between sent and reflected wave is noted and based on this distance can be calculated. You can also determine shape of any object using this technique.
This technique can be used to save power of your computer. Well, you will need two speakers, a built in microphone and a SONAR software which can be downloaded from below:


You download and install the software. Now, this software, when run determines your position in front of your computer. If you are not there, then it turns off the display of your computer which saves quite a lot of power.
I highly recommend this to offices where there is a large amount of power consumption. When the worker is not at his desk, the power of monitor/LCD turns off automatically and when he is back, it turns on.
I have myself tried this software and it works wonders! Be sure you check it too!
