There’s once when I was Googling for silent ringtones, and I keep on stumbling upon so-called “teenager’s silent ringtone“. These ringtones are made in such high frequency that they claim most people in their parent’s generation are not able to hear due to the deterioration of their hearing.

The thing about these ringtones is that I can hear them, and they hurt my head quite astoundingly. I just want a completely silent ringtone to use!

“Why silent ringtone? Can’t you just mute your phone?” - some might ask. The purpose of having a silent ringtone is so that I can assign it to any people that I might not want to answer their calls immediately, if not at all. So after some rounds of frustation, I downloaded Audacity, and make one of my own.

Here’s the silent ringtones if you’d like to use:
Mp3 Format WAV Format iTunes Format (for iPhones)

Happy silencing!

Ever since I switched to Wordpress 2.5, there are some things about the new admin panel that puts me off. First of all - the category selector have been moved below the post input section, then followed by the fact that the admin panel is now fixed to a 980px width limit.

While any body that are familiar with CSS/PHP/HTML can manually tweak the files to fix these, it would be troublesome to upgrade in the future, as you will have to keep on editing the files everytime an upgrade is performed.

Don’t fret, here’s two useful plugins for Wordpress 2.5 that will give us back the 2.3-like interface!

Have you ever:

• Wished you could copy someone’s shared folder over to your PC so you can own everything that he shares, and then always copy the latest content that he has?
• Wished that you backup that very important folder into some other PC so that you don’t have to feel very suicidal when your laptop crashes/stolen?
• Wished you could always keep one other copy of some folders in your hard disk in case the hard disk died/you have to reformat your Windows due to some malicious virus?
• Wished that there is an easy way to synchronize your music folder with your housemate’s music folder so whatever you have, he has, and vice versa?

I have at least three of the wishes above. Back then when I was still studying, we live in a hostel with a built-in LAN access. So I occasionally will browse through the resident’s shared folders, and often I would find some nice shows/songs that I would like. However, the task becomes very daunting because I would have to click on every folder they have to see if there is new content.

There are two ways to resize the desktop icon in Windows Vista. One of the ways is to use one of the three defined sizes:

Right-click on any blank space in your Desktop, and choose “View“, then pick one of the three “Large“, “Medium” or “Classic” size (they correspond to 80px, 48px and 32px respectively). However, these pre-defined sizes might not suit what you need. There is another way to resize the icons.
