vbb — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 06:33:54 +0000

It’s a good idea to keep the caller engaged in some nice songs instead of making him listen to the default “it’s ringing tone”.Different operators call it by different names like hello tunes or caller tunes.BSNL is one of the service provider to provide this service at an affordable cost.Here is how to set it up.

It takes Rs. 25 as monthly charges and Rs.12 for a song to download.However this tariff changes from time to time hence you are requested to check it at BSNL web site.

Ways to Set BSNL Caller Tunes

Call 57500

This is the default and direct method.You have to call 57500.It’s an IVRS system where you can listen and download a song based on different menu.It takes at present Rs 2 per minute to call at this service.Most costly way to search as there are many songs on this service.

Copy it from other’s

Suppose you know that your friend has a good caller tune and he is on BSNL network,call him and while the caller tune is playing ,press the *(star) button.The tune will be copied to your number now.Least costly way to search.

Search for a particular song through SMS

Now you can also search for a particular song as a message.Suppose you want a song “Jai Ho” then send a SMS to 56799 with terms “search Jai” .It will reply with all the songs which contain the word Jai.Only normal SMS rates apply.May need 3-4 SMS to search for a song.

So set yours now and let your callers enjoy the tune while you make them wait to pick up.

What do you do when an application cease to respond.The normal procedure is pressing Ctrl+Alt+Del to invoke Task Manager and then kill the process.

ClckGone ,a freeware, does this job in a single click.The program is a very small one.

Single Click Application Killer

When you launch this program,the pointer turns to a crosshair showing its killing capability.

Whenever an app freezes ,simple launch ClickGone and click on the frozen window.The frozen app will be killed immediately.

The only precaution to take with this program is-Do not click on an empty space or desktop.It’ll kill Windows!

So no need to invoke task manager for killing a process.Just have ClickGone.However I wish this program should be a standalone one.Presently it needs to be installed.

Technology for everyone

Let me dedicate the first post to technology.Technology is a broad term which covers many areas.But here my reference is to the Digital Technology which has remarkably changed the way we live,work and communicate.

However not everyone is touched by the digital technology in the same extent.And this is the cause which creates the term Digital Divide.

Wikipedia says,

The term digital divide refers to the gap between people with effective access to digital and information technology and those without. It includes the imbalances in physical access to technology as well as the imbalances in resources and skills needed to effectively participate as a digital citizen.

One cannot fill this divide by simply writing a blog on technology.To overcome the divide a collective approach has to be taken.I myself feel lagging behind in this digital age.This blog is an effort to take to take myself out from digital darkness to light.And I am sure I can make the jump.On my journey everybody is invited and if this blog helps anybody regarding technology,my purpose will be fulfilled.
