Recommending FoxyProxy for Facebook

March 30th, 2012

As far as proxy server for Facebook login is concerned, I should also recommend FoxyProxy. This is an extremely useful browser plugin tool for Firefox browser, Chrome, and Internet Explorer.

If Facebook login is as important as your daily dose of caffeine in the morning, then FoxyProxy will be you right companion. It is lightweight, low-memory usage and its free!FoxyProxy

Credits goes to Eric H. Jung who created this plugin.

So before you continue to read on, you may have this 2 immediate questions:-

1) Is FoxyProxy the ‘gateway’ to Facebook login?
2) Does FoxyProxy provide free list of proxy server?

The answer to both questions is “No”. Not a gateway, and no free proxy servers.

This tool is a plugin for browser. The main purpose of FoxyProxy works as a connection switcher by your chosen proxy servers. Meaning, you must have your list of proxy server.

What’s the buzz? Isn’t it just another plugin? I think its more than what one might has thought.

FoxyProxy helps to reduce all the inconveniences of setting proxy server one at a time. It is a multitasking tool to apply more than one proxy server at a time.

A simple descriptions for this plugin tool, “… connection across one or more proxy servers based on URL patterns” thus, reducing “… manual process of editing (browser’s) … settings ...”

So where to get free proxy servers? Some can be obtain here. Having said there, FoxyProxy does provide paid service for reliable, high-bandwidth proxy servers.

Therefore, its a matter of being exclusively taken care or be a free-willy to google your own proxy server.

My only usage is basically for Facebook login. Below an excerpts of description from the download link for Firefox plugin.

FoxyProxy is a Firefox extension which automatically switches an internet connection across one or more proxy servers based on URL patterns. Put simply, FoxyProxy automates the manual process of editing Firefox’s Connection Settings dialog. Proxy server switching occurs based on the loading URL and the switching rules you define.

Is this tool require very technical skill to configure or settings?

In my opinion, this is not difficult to use. Once you get the hands of it, you will like it more.

DIY iPad3, A Look-alike Model by Chinese Man, Liu Xinying (劉新營)

July 18th, 2011

Honestly speaking, I’m not much of a fan on Apple’s products. I don’t own any of their gadgets that appeal to me. After all, its also not a bad choice to possess some of this fashionable ‘toys’, such as iMac notebook, iPad, Ipod, and iPhone.

No doubt about their ingenious technology on consumer’s electronics. Including its latest branding of Apple’s cloud computing services, iCloud Stores.

Most of the sought-after hand-held devices have already dominated a major portion of the world’s market. So much so that one of the Chinese enthusiast for iPad has come out with its own DIY model.

It’s a look-alike version which dubbed “DIY iPad 3″. The gadget has installed Windows XP as the running operating systems. This look-alike model is done by a Chinese Man, named Liu Xinying (劉新營)

Here’s a video I have re-edited to synchronize with a better song, and reducing its original lengthy video to merely 7 minutes. Additionally, it has also been cropped to produced a wider view on it process of DIY.

99% of the content is maintained. Feel free to give comments on the YouTube post.

It looks like a monk doing some martial art dance. Interestingly, it uses the hands and feet to resemblance the tip of the Chinese brush.
Writing ‘calligraphy’ strokes and completes the word into “Google”.

Watch “The Secret Life of The American Teenage” from YouTube. At least an excerpts…

June 8th, 2010

You may want to catch up with the latest episode of “The Secret Life of The American Teenage“. But hack!, you have to work over-time, to earn the extra pocket money. So the solution is to automate your TV recorder and watch it later when you get back home.

At times, all this prearrange effort may come to nought, because of wrong settings, timing, or technical glitches on the recording device. Probably, you have to read the thick manual on how-to, troubleshooting, Q & A topics…..

Nah!.. That takes time, you not going to do that.

Alternatively, you may want to watch “The Secret Life of The American Teenage” on YouTube, at least an excerpts of the entire episode. And this is what I’m doing.

Well, at least that is good enough to keep me going on the next day to social and discuss with friends about what happened to Amy Juergens, Ashley Juergens or Benjamin “Ben” Boykewich.

You hook on to the internet and start to search in YouTube for the latest “The Secret Life of The American Teenage, Season 3“. The video results turned out to be uploaded 1 year ago! Sometime, the smart search tool may give you the latest video uploaded 4 hours ago. And that is the latest episode, or perhaps not.. Its another erroneous search result..

Don’t give up! Try the YouTube “Search Options” located at the top left corner of your search result page. The fonts size are small, will find it if you look at the YouTube logo at top left corner.

This feature YouTube “Search Options” from has been around for long time, until recently I started to use it more frequently. Nothing new, but a very useful optional feature.

Now the search has become smarter, accustomed to your specific request. By default, YouTube “Search Options” is collapsed (hidden), and require user to expand the feature.

Expand it by clicking the down arrow, which is next to YouTube “Search Options”. You will see the menu breakdown into this few groups:-

  1. Result type:
  2. Sort by:
  3. Upload date:
  4. Categories:
  5. Duration:
  6. Features:

Quickest of all to get the real-time search result is to Sort By: Upload date.

All other options are based on one’s preference and requirement. No assurance that result is free from error. So pick the right video to watch. The options and latest search results are all there.

Below I have attached 2 screenshot on the feature of this “Search Options“. With and without defining search option, “Sort By: Upload date”

The obvious differences includes:-

  • When the video was uploaded, 6 months or 1 year, etc.
  • Number of visitors who have watch the video uploaded.
