How to Use YouTube’s Deep Linking to start video from any time

Yesterday YouTube has rolled out this new feature known as ‘Deep Linking’ which allows users to start video from their desired point of time[provided the input time is within the length of the video].

Let’s see how we can use YouTube Deep Linking:

Look at the following YouTube video URL,and observe the time stamp ‘#t=1m25s’ that has been appended to the URL.

http://in.youtube.com/watch?v=v6BPuKaLel4#t=1m25s

And If you try opening this in YouTube,you can see that this video starts buffering from 01:25[the time that we desired].

Look at the following screen shots to get better idea:

Appending the time tag syntax

Once you have done that you can see the video starting from that time[01:25 in this case]

The one more good thing about this is if someone finds something is very interesting at a particular time stamp,they can post it in comments and YouTube will automatically adds Hyper Link to that so that when users click on that it stats from that time.

 

You can see the Hyper Link that’s visible with the ‘1m50s’ in the above photo

Well this may be not a big one but certainly makes life simpler.It took more than 2 years for YouTube to come up with this,when it’s owner Google had started this feature two years back in Google Videos.

How to get full screen for Turbo C++ 3.0 in Vista

This is a big question for those who are still using Turbo C++ Version 3.0 in Windows Vista. As everyone knows that full screen is not supported with the version 3.0 in Vista; it is ridiculous to work in the small screen where I think no one can ever imagine writing a program there! This solution will help all the C, C++ learners using TC++ 3.0 in Vista.

This is a simple technique. Just follow the simple 4 steps given below and get a big screen in few seconds. There is no need of any additional softwares or drivers.

Step 1: Open TC++ (normally C:\TC\BIN\TC.EXE). In the startup it will show a dialogue box that it doesn’t support full screen mode as seen in the picture below. Just select ignore option. Then it will open the small screen mode.

Step 2: Go to the top left of the window and click. It will show a menu as shown in the figure. Then select properties from the menu.

Step 3: Now it will show the properties window, in which you select the Font tab. There you can see two font options as Raster and Lucida Console. The default will be Raster. You select Lucida Console and select the size from the size list as 28.

Step 4: After selecting the fonts, now you have to select the layout tab where you can see screen buffer size, window size, and window position options. First unselect the “Let system position window” option from window position options. Now make the following changes:

• Screen Buffer Size: Width: 82 Height: 28

• Window Size: Width: 80 Height: 26

• Window Position: Left: -4 Top: -4

After making the changes select OK.

Now you will see a larger window and very crisp font size in which you can work perfectly fine. This technique actually doesn’t provide full screen in Vista but you will find it much better.

NB: The given sizes will work fine for 1280 by 800 screens, but there is no compulsion that you have to use them as specified. You can always use your own options according to your need.

PALM Z22

Specifications:Palm Z22 Handheld PDA, Samsung 200 MHz, 32 MB ROM, STN passive matrix Display, 160 x 160 Display Resolution, 5-way navigator, USB 

The Z22 is one of the first of Palm, Inc.'s handhelds to be released under the new "Palm" brand, and the first to be released without the "Zire" moniker. Released on October 12, 2005, it replaces the monochrome Zire 21, and is priced at $99 USD. The Palm Z22 features Palm OS Garnet 5.4 and a 200 MHz processor. The Z22 runs on a standard li-ion battery that has a life of about 8 hours depending on its function.

Designed to be attractive to first-time users, the unit lacks frills such as an external memory slot, but has the capability of trickle-charging through the USB interface when connected to a PC (so the wall-socket charger can be left at home), and the NVFS, also known as NVRAM, means that the unit does not lose data even if the battery power runs out.
