Get this tool for switching people from IE to Firefox

A group of four full-time political activists have developed a portal to encourage Internet Explorer users to adopt Firefox Web Browser. They’ve launched their website: ExplorerDestroyer.com as an aggressive strategy to promote Firefox amongst Internet Explorer Users, as Internet Explorer is still the most popular Web Browser.

The group states : “Firefox is one of the most important software applications in the world because it can play a big part in determining the future of the web. It is crucial that an open-source, standards-based web browser becomes the most popular browser, and Firefox has a shot at being that. It’s the best product, and its popularity is climbing, thanks to amazing efforts by the Mozilla Foundation, the SpreadFirefox.org juggernaut, and many others.”

Apart from talking about the advantages of Firefox, they are promoting the use of Firefox, by advertising the Google Adsense program that pays $1 for each new Firefox user you refer. Also, they are offering ready-made code snippet on the home page that will display ExplorerDestroyer Button to promote use of Firefox on blogging sites.

The site announces “Your Mission - Get Under 50″ mission to reduce the number of Internet Explorer hits to less than 50 percent of all browser accesses & advocate the usage of splash screens advertising Firefox.

The group has also launched another website : killbillsbrowser.com. It’s a parody site with witty jokes about Internet Explorer nuisances, at the same time convincing people to switch to Firefox.

iPod Nano 5G synchronization issues in Ubuntu

I was able to manage my iPod Nano using Ubuntu until now. When I recently upgraded to Ubuntu 11.04 Natty which was a clean install, a weird problem started. I could not synchronize my iPod using any application like Banshee, Rhythmbox, gtkpod, Amarok etc. On closer look, I realized that when I transferred any file, it was copied to the iPod but the database on iPod was not updated. None of the applications seemed to work and it was same error in each case. Since the iPod database was not updated, iPod could not see the file and was unable to play it. It was an iPod Nano generation 5, which comes with a video camera on the back side. To debug the issue, I executed Banshee in debug mode (banshee -debug on the terminal), and I noticed the following error when trying to transfer any file on iPod. ‘Failed to save iPod database – GLib.GException: Failed to generate sqlite database (in `libgpod-sharp)’ I searched for solutions on Internet but was confused at various solutions suggest...

Sydney Trip

I went to Sydney on a business trip for 2-3 weeks. Since, it was a business trip I was going to travel alone and miss my family. Therefore, I appreciated the short duration of the trip but it did not feel like a short one. Most of it was work only and some time for me during the two weekends. I had decided to make the most of available time instead of idling and feel more homesick. Also, I was going to stay in the CBD area so it was a big advantageous factor since not much effort was to be spent for sightseeing. The journey began with the longest flight I’ve ever been on (17 hours) with a stopover at Bangkok for 2 hours. I had a terrible time in the flight from Delhi to Bangkok; I was struggling a lot in the airplane seats and couldn’t sleep at all. However, the flight from Bangkok to Sydney was much better. On my flight from Bangkok to Sydney, an Australian lady was seated at the window seat on my right hand side. She asked me if I wanted to swap my seat with hers as I had starte...

Busy or Lazy?

Either of the two. But that’s been the case after my wedding. I’ve not done a blog post, neither I did anything on Facebook, Twitter, Google+ for that matter. Whatever! Better late than never. So, in order of priority, I wanted to write down a few important events that happened since my last post - We were blessed with a baby daughter – Naisha. Literal meaning of Naisha is ‘Special’ and she justifies this meaning completely. She’s beautiful, cranky and a fighter. She’s awesome! Naisha is one creature in the house. She just celebrated her first birthday dressed up as a Barbie, which was cute. All the day she’s running around the house and interpreting various things and objects in her unique style. I cannot understand much of it, but most of it appears very logical somehow. I switched from X to Y organization. It was a long pending decision for me and thankfully it worked out this time. It took its own time and I was recruited after long six months of interviewing process. A...
