Send DM using SmsTweet.in

While I was going through the HELP section of SmsTweet.in, I found this -

Why can't I send or recieve Direct Messages?

This feature has been requested quite often. This service started as an experiment but as more users start using smstweet, more features will be added. Direct Messages is one of such features that is in the pipeline.

Yeah, sending DM using direct command like TWTD(!) is not yet available, but But I figured out a way to send DM from SMSTweet.in..
To send a DM, Twitter uses a structure like this

D<Space><UserName><Space><Message>

e.g.

D<Space>iAmSRK420<Space>Howdy Pal!! Hope you liked this DM. :)

So, to send DM from SmsTweet.in, you just need to send the SMS like -

TWT<Space>d<Space>iAmSRK420<Space>Howdy Pal!! Hope you liked this DM. :)

and send it to 09220092200(Mumbai) or 09243000111(Bangalore).
Thats it. Try it out. :)
Say thanx if it helped. :)

Detect a USB and Do As You Wish..

I was going through a Topic in CHIP Forum About preventing pendrive access in a PC and someone asked how we could distinguish PenDrive from other USB devices. Then a thought came to my mind. What if we can avoid all those USB disabling stuff and simply configure what to do with a device when it's connected, determining whether its a pendrive or not?

Then did some googling and got my hand on this stuff.

USB Detect & Launch

USB Detect & Launch allows you to automatically execute a script or application each time a USB storage device is plugged into your PC.
Actually, this application can detect a USB device depending on its Label. So you can define individual scripts for each PenDrive/NetworkDrive/any USB device..

Some examples of actions might be -
o Ejecting the drive right away
o copying certain files from USB to PC or vice versa
o Delete certain file from USB (Can prove handy when deleting autorun.inf or any suspicious file)
o Fire external app
o Do more with the help of Microsoft RoboCopy Apps..
o And use your imagination for further stuff. ~_^

So, here're how stuffs go -

First download the App and install it.

The first window you'll see is this

Tick those two options.
Then click the Vertical Button on the middle Right. It'll take you to the Edit Script page.

Write your scripts, Press Validate to ensure all is well, then Save and Press START.. That's all. Minimize it now. It'll stay in System tray and do its job.

Here're some examples of scripting -

label:BIGUN
exec:"c:\batch\batch-backup-bigun.cmd" %1 %2


label:(no label)
exec:"c:\batch\batch-backup-something.cmd" %1 %2


label:(any)
exec:"c:\batch\batch-backup-all.cmd" %1 %2


label:PENDRIVE
exec:wscript "c:\batch\batch-insert-pendrive.vbs" "%3"
menurun:"c:\batch\batch-eject-pendrive.cmd" "%2"


ignore:d:\,e:\,g:\

Here
%1 = the Drive letter like "c:\"
%2 = Volume Label
%3 = Drive letter alone like "c"
ignore = To ignore those drives that needs not to be concerned, Like Network drives.

You can also use RoboCopy tools/RoboCopy GUI like this. 

robocopy “%1podcasts” “c:\podcasts” /MOV /V /NP /S

I think you'll understand the rest by yourself. Say thanx if it helped. ^_^

Kaspersky Rescue Disk 2010 - Torrent

Kaspersky Rescue Disk

Bootable Image Torrent

There are some times when our PCs gets really Messy with some sort of viruses/worms that can't be removed even with latest anti-viruses, just because they might have infected your system files or maybe(if unfortunate) the anti-virus itself.

In those cases, the Best option one can choose is a Bootable Anti-virus that'll scan the system even before the OS starts. And I consider Kaspersky Rescue Disk to be one of the best among all that's out there.

Kaspersky Rescue Disk is actually a Gentoo-based Linux image with the Kasperaky anti-virus integrated to it. It's a full-fledged anti-virus in a Compact Disk where no virus can harm it.

The only problem with Kaspersky Rescue Disk is, you can't update like all the other anti-virus you use. If you want to update it, then you'll have to download a new copy of it, then burn again. Thus, the best option in hand is to use the latest build available. So, here it is.

http://www.mediafire.com/file/n1d3qjjmywi/KIS Resque Disc.iso.torrent

: Here're the steps to use it :

1. First Download this ISO image using a BitTorrent Client Like uTorrent.

2. Use Nero or any CD burning software to burn the image to a blank CD/DVD.

3. Once burnt, Insert it to your CD drive and restart your PC.

(You should have your BIOS configured to boot from CD)

4. Just press any key when it is prompted, to boot from it and just seat still until it boots completely from it.

5.Once successfully booted, you'll see the Kaspersky Anti-Virus Window on your screen. Just press "Add New Item" and select the drives and Start Scan.

And Please keep seeding it. So that others can take advantage of it. 

Enjoy. ^_^
