When PC slows down!

There are numerous reasons for a Computer to slow down on its processing speed. If you are experiencing this problem in your PC please don't immediately put a costly Anti-Virus program and check for hidden malware or worms! Remember you are the worst virus in your PC if you are not treating your computer well. I'll be listing some easy ways to solve this problems make a note of it.

Don't
  • Installing all programs that you use in C:\ drive(or where OS is installed) its a sin! don't commit it.

  • Keep the C:\ drive free from images, videos and other documents that are not related to OS or primary application.

  • By default all browsers stores download files in C drive so change the position to some other drive. (My documents is also in C drive)

  • Clear all temp folders so that they don't block RAM [some temp folders "temp", "%temp%", "prefetch", "recent", type these in your windows run command(without quotes) and clear if you are not sure look for a software like C clearner or Tune Up Utility].

  • Type msconfig on Run command window go to "Servies" and "Start up" uncheck all unwanted programs don't worry about mistakes it will not accept wrong unchecks.

  • Computer is not meant for entertainment so don't have loads of movies and songs stored, have external hard disk.

  • Don't have too many extensions on your browser, every extension uses a process so don't open more that a window of browser. Also when you browse close all other application! never see a video or listen to a audio online when your system is of low configuration (<256MB RAM, without graphic card).

  • NO SLEEP MODE unless its really essentially required.
Do's
  • Defragment all drivers once in a month make sure atleast 15% of drive is free from files use Disk Cleanup (Right click on the Drive>Properties>Tools>Defragment form Win Xp).

  • Choose location other than C drive for all software which gives you permission to choose different drive while installing.

  • If you are inclined towards learning learn one programming language and install the corresponding platform, if you put every thing you are creating problem, try online editors.

  • Install one software for one process example, WMP is capable of playing all formats but you must have original version.

  • Installing original version of any software including OS solves most of the problem.

  • Shutdown PC everytime if you are not going to use it for next few hours. This immensely helps system's boot process.

If you have tried all the above even then problem is not solved then you computer is in serious problem, fix an appointment with you PC doctor immediately. OR if you are curios try smaller OS which are not demanding like DSL, Puppy, Lubuntu <- Linux distros

Puththu kovilum Putho tilesum, as they are built

Its the grand Aadi season here in Tamil Nadu wherever you go you'd be followed by awful noise from no mercy speakers masqueraded as a devotional song. Yes, this is the first post dedicated to it. Hindu is not a religion but it's idealism, a way to unite people, that's perfectly constructed by assuming separate task to every God, no single God worship. Hindus moved from nature worship to idol worship, but that doesn't mean that we don't have nature worship we have created an idol for them and continued to worship them in a different form. Snake is a beautiful reptile, I have made friend with few too... Our ancestor found the natural law, 'every living creature on earth is important for the ecosystem to be balanced'. Maybe to make sure snakes are not killed fearing their venom they made them as God too! Not just idol snakes, they are worshipped as they are at their  conquered (from rats and termite)   nest or  puthu . Puthu...

Acid rain in Chennai

Don't panic it is not literal acid but a metaphorical one. Probably Poes Garden, maybe Gopalapuram I can't imagine any other area in Chennai to be drained. So why is this? every time? we pray for rain and when it comes we are always unprepared, even for moderate showers our roads are flooded. Is it because Chennai is an old city and its infrastructure not enough for information age or is that because of the vote bank politics? By now you'd have guessed what I quoted as 'Acid rain', it is that one created by the broadcasting network. Nowadays every political party is having its own network, you do the math and imagine the amount of 'Angel and Demon' perspective we are exposed to. From every network that is with the ruling party, we are shown the 'Angel face' emergency number, disaster recovery team, ambulance gushing thru flood, evacuation and so on. Other side which clearly outnumbers the ruling party in 4:1 ratio shows us flood, death, dengue, sew...

RJ Balaji in as Vadacurry

Vadacurry is a perfect entertainment package – comedy, a romantic song, an item number, punch, villian, hero, noble cause – as we know, it is a masala movie. Movie revolves around lead male played by Jai and his immediate needs – getting Smart phone, the way he chooses to fullfill his need brings the neccesarily components to push the movie into vibration mode Director Saravana Rajan’s made the movie lighter enough to remove any sort of thrill from the movie, a team which has wide range of experience in providing laughter made this comedy-thriller into comdey-drama. The movie starts with RJ Balaji saying “my name is vadacurry, but I don’t have much to do here (ref. movie is titled as Vadacurry)”. Director gives Jai enough importance that almost any other character in the movie has little role to play, but when you leave the theater you know why its Vadacurry, without RJ Balaji movie might be rusty. Not a star cast unless you are going to consider Jei and Swathi as stars, whom I...

Up and Close with Sudalai Madan: Warm up

Hollywood is just a movie industry for most people, but for some like me, it is the inspiration and life guide. I have watched many movies from all genres - action, thriller, comedy, drama, romance, but what I loved is a controversial subjects.  Mikael Håfström's 1408 was in my mind, when I travelled down south to my native for the holy annual festival, 'Sudalaimada Swamy Kodai'. I always keep track of what I do at what time when I'm away from home in my diary. I caught this habit after maintaining the track diary when we make the pilgrimage to Sabarimala every year. Back view of our Sudalaimada Swamy temple I travelled with Athai and Chitapa to Thirunelveli by train; festival takes place at summer, to keep his elder sister comfortable my uncle booked an AC room near Nellai railway junction we stopped by dropped luggage and refreshed. I was happy he was there, someone who can guess what will be running in my mind. We reached Kumarapuram after going to Udhayathur so...
