Download Video dari Youtube.com

Dulu pertama kali mendengar situs: www.youtube.com, yang terbenak dalam pikiran adalah aduh gimana ya cara download video dari youtube ! Aku dulu pernah baca - baca artikel caranya adalah dengan converter online, dulu aku pake’ vixy.net, tapi kendala yang dihadapi disini adalah kita dua kali kerja. Waktu terbuang untuk convert online dari format flv ke format yang lain, setelah proses convert selesai kita perlu mendownload movies tersebut, lama banget apalagi kalo menggunakan jasa warnet, terkadang mahal dan kecepatan rendah, pokoknya bikin males klo download dari youtube.

Namun akhir - akhir ini aku membaca artikel yang membuat pandanganku selama ini terhadap download di youtube berubah. Caranya sangat sederhana banget kok, langkah – langkahnya seperti ini :

1. Cari video yang ingin didownload dengan membuka situs: www.youtube.com
2. klo sudah ketemu,cari link video dengan cara arahkan kursormu diatas gambar videonya untuk pengguna Internet Explorer klik kanan, kemudian klik properties, akan muncul link di address tinggal di copy aja! Untuk pengguna Konqueor, mozilla, opera, netscape intinya sama yaitu copy link videonya !
3. Buka situs keepvid.com , nanti akan muncul kotak isian link yang masih blank, paste link yang telah dicopy pada langkah ke dua diatas!
4. Situs ini adalah juga dapat meng-generate link selain dari youtube, maka untuk pilihan situs ganti menjadi youtube.
5. klik tombol untuk meng-generete, 1 detik ( atau 5 detik lah klo koneksinya agak lambat) kemudian akan muncul direct link untuk mendownload video yang kita inginkan kemudian tinggal di Copy.
6. Paste direct link yang telah kita Copy ke Browser atau klo ingin lebih cepat pake aja download tool seperti IDM atau Orbit Downloader ( Disarankan pakai orbit, karena gratis dan tidak ada unsur merugikan pihak lain ).
7. Nunggu download selesai dengan makan kacang, atau jika anda jerawatan bisa dengan makan permen …:)

Pekerjaan yang gampang bukan ! namun terasa susah jika anda tidak mengetahui triknya. Sebelum undur diri seperti biasa seperti penulis yang bijak akan menyampaikan sedikit pesan! Sekali lagi Tips ini hanya sebagai pembelajaran, penulis tidak bertanggung jawab atas penyalahgunaan artikel ini, tanggung jawab moril kami kembalikan kepada pembaca yang budiman.

Sophos JEEFOGUI – Powerful tool to remove W32:Jeefo

Woww!! What else can I say about this tool!!! Sophos JEEFOGUI is the powerful tool to remove, repair and stop the troublesome W32:Jeefo virus from running in your system. Full thanks and credits to whoever behind the development of this handy software. Yea, it’s totally free to use.

If you have no idea about W32:Jeefo virus, I will tell you a little bit info about it. W32:Jeefo infects all of Windows PE executables with an extension of .EXE and a filesize greater than 102,399 bytes, in all folders of all fixed drives C: to Z:. Other than that, it runs continuously in the background, infecting files at periodic intervals with no mercy.

Take a look at the screenshot below (I used Avast Antivirus to scan all my drives):-

It was really annoying and pissed me off. For those who have the same experience like me and don’t know how to get rid of it might be take a painful step to format drive C: and delete manually all the .exe files. And after that, they have no choice but to reinstall all Windows, drivers, software and they have to download all their favorite games including Pac Man (maybe).

Ok, this is how I get rid of W32:Jeefo using JEEFOGUI.

Step 1

Stop the antivirus software from scanning and close it. Download JEEFOGUI.com tool (Yes, it has .com extension). Run this software and click Accept.

Note: JEEFOGUI.com will delete the file SVCHOST.EXE, disinfect all infected files and remove the registry entries.


Step 2

You will see a simple interface and without wasting any time, click on the green GO button to start scan all your drives. It will start detecting infected files and at the same time, it will repair/remove/disinfect the infected files automatically. See image below:-


Step 3

Close JEEFOGUI after it already finished scanned and disinfected the files. Ok, now we have to turn off the System Restore.

Note: This will delete any previously created restore points.

For Windows XP user (I’m not really sure for Win 98/ME user), simply go to your Desktop > right click on My Computer icon > Properties and select the System Restore tab (or Windows+Pause/Break and select System Restore tab). Now check the Turn off System Restore on all drives checkbox, click Apply and click Yes. See image below:-

After that uncheck that same checkbox (to turn it on), click Apply and click OK. See image below:-

Restart your computer. DONE.

Right now, you can run all your program/.exe files without any worries. Yeahh..that’s all!

Optional: You can use Sophos Anti-Virus to protect your computer against the latest viruses.

Download Sophos Antivirus.

How to delete image or picture in Blogger?

"Oppsss...I have uploaded a wrong picture!! &^%#&#!!" Yeah..it sounds familiar. It also happened to me. It's not a big deal if you've upload a 100kb or 300kb image. But, how about 3mb or 5mb? As we know, Blogger only provide 1024mb free space to store your picture.

Of course, you can delete your new post including the image that you have just uploaded. Then, how about the old posts? Do you want to delete them just because it has the photo of your old fashion hair style??

No worries guys. Normally all images that we have uploaded was stored in the blogger.com database. And the only way (I guess) to access all of them is in the Picasa Web Album. Just open that link. You'll see the Albums based on how many blog you've created. If you have created 3 blogspot blog using the same account, then you should have 3 Albums.

If you still confuse on how to use the Picasa Web Album to delete your image, just follow these simple steps:-

Step 1

Click to your blog's Album which you want to delete a picture on it. You may see something like below:-

Note: If you want your image to display a little faster, just click on the Size: Small Thumbnails (on the right side of the page)


Step 2

Click on the image that you want to delete. The image should be in a single page right now. Go to the right sidebar menu and click Delete this photo.

You will see a confirmation message. Press Ok to delete your picture. DONE.

Note: The picture will no longer appear in your blog.

This step was useful if you only want to delete one image. If you want to delete a multiple images, go to Organise (image on step 1). Then you will see a thumbnails images. Hold down the Ctrl key and click on multiple photos to select them. After that click the Delete button. As simple as that.

The advantage of deleting your image is that you can save a lot of space in your blogger account. Another good tips to save your image space is try to use the .gif file format instead of .bmp and resize your image to 300x300px or 400x400px.

From May 23, 07 until now, I'm currently using 5MB (0.56%) of my 1024 MB storage with 257 uploaded photos.

That's all for today!!!

Step 4

Now, copy everything between and tag including the tag itself and paste below it. You should have something like below:-

....
....
....







....
....
....



....
....
....

Save your template and DONE. You can see how it looks like on my archive page for January 2008.

But why do you need to list them in title? For me, it is really useful for your visitor to select any article that interest them if you've a lot of posts every months.

Besides, for SEO concerns, it's good to avoid some duplicate content in your blog. Just my sense.

If you want to add some extra information inside your archive page, you might want to check out the list of classic template tags.

I never know if we could do the same thing in the label view. I try to search some where but couldn't find the hacks. If you've something to share, kindly leave some comments.

That's all for now. Hope you enjoy this tips. Yeahh!!!
