A new version of Installer for iPhone and iPod Touch have been released earlier today. I did not fiddle it around too much to discover every new feature that it sports, but I did notice that they have finally implemented a search bar in the Packages selection page.

Finally, my long prayer have been answered! Kudos to the developers at Nullriver Software and RiP Dev of this one wonderful tool that opens all possibilities to install any desired 3rd party applications!

I guess I don’t have to re-introduce what Youtube.com is, let’s get down and direct to the point!

I am aware that there are many software/services that provides video downloads of many video hosting websites. Most of these softwares aren’t free, and to my dismay, most of them have a GUI that is either ugly, disorganized, or styled too much that it annoys me.

Today, I’ll introduce a free and very simple video downloader & converter application - Vixy Converter.

On Wednesdays, usually I will submit all the leave application/shift swap/medical claim or overtime claim forms to the HR (yes I don’t intend to walk to the HR dept every single day. It’s not even in the same building!). So like any other day, close to the lunch time, I will compile all the forms together, sort them out and pay a visit to my manager to get his approval prior to submitting the forms to HR.

However, shortly before I went off, I heard a soft chime from my computer. Indicating a new mail just arrived. I clicked and it said “Congratulations! You have won the voter’s lucky draw!“
