How to maintain yahoo chat history on PC crash?

Nothing is permanent and computer crash proves this correct every year. J Atleast in my case. I am tired of this crash when I have format my PC to remove all malicious viruses.

Most important thing I lost while formatting PC is my yahoo chat history. And it makes sad for days. But now I got the solution to have backup of this yahoo chat.

Simple and Easy to use solution for all:

Create a text file and add following piece line:

XCOPY "[Yahoo history path]" "[Destination path]" /F/S/C/E/I/H/R/K/Y >> "[Destination Output file path]"

Possible values could be like this:

[Yahoo history path] - C:\Program Files\Yahoo!\Messenger\Profiles\ashkamodi

[Destination path] - D:\Yahoo Chat History

[Destination Output file path] - D:\Yahoo Chat History\MyChat.TXT

Now Save As your text file with .bat extension and it will be converted as batch file.

1. You can run this batch file randomly on your need of backup

2. You can add this batch file in startup program by right-click on batch file, create short cut and then cut-paste the short-cut to (Start Menu >> All Programs >> Startup folder)

3. You can add Task Schedule (Start menu >> All Programs >> Accessories >> System Tools >> Scheduled Tasks)

I hope this is easiest and quite useful.

Happy chatting!

When you saw only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you.

The story and meaning of saying “When you saw only one set of footprints it was then that I carried you.” is as follows:

Once a man was died and taken to God by the angels.

During his travelling he was supposed to his Life path where he found two pairs of footprints.

He knows that one set of footprints are his and he was confused about the other set.

He asked the angels. They said it was God who was walking along with him throughout his Life.

The man then found that only one pair of footsteps during the most difficult times of his life.

He was confused very much.

When he was brought in front of God he asked “Dear God, You came along with me throughout my life as I saw those of your footprints. But you've betrayed me at the most difficult times of my life. I found only one pair of footsteps. Why is it so? Why did you leave me alone at the toughest times of my life?”

God smiled and replied, “Dear son, what you've seen was really not your footprints. They were actually mine. I was carrying you on my hands.”

The man realized that God never betrays anyone who believes him.

Those lines denotes that : “God carries you in his hands during the toughest times of your Life!”

Handy Manny song

Let's get going and fix it right,
Twist & turn, make it tight,
Trabajamos juntos, we work together now!

Cut it, measure it, tap it flat
Bend and twist, just like that!

Each of us have a special job,
We work together, todos juntos,
We can fix it right!

Se7en Review

A thriller serial murder movie based on Seven deadly sins which are following:

1. Greed

2. Gluttony

3. Sloth

4. Wrath

5. Lust

6. Envy

7. Pride

Serial killer starts killing people who are at extreme level of each of sin. Two detectives Morgan freeman and Brad pitt works together for solving themselves. 5 of the siners were killed and they didn’t succeed. After that Killer surrender himself with all surprise.

Movie end was too bad for imagination. After surrender, killer demands that he has already committed two more death and he will inform only if two of detective alone comes with him to the site. Killer and two of detectives drive to the site showed by killer. They reach to some outskirts and a van appeas. Morgan stops the van, asks him for more detail. He admits that he is courier man and someone pays him to took one box to this place. Morgan opens the box, with bad surprise it contains someone’s badly cutted head and which was of Brad pitt’s wife.

Killer admits the fact that he was jealous of their love and try to live his life with his wife. He tried to "play husband" with Tracy earlier that day but it did not work out and he took a souvenir instead her head. And that way he committed “Envy” and makes the pitt to responsible for “Wrath” by killing the serial killer.

Movie contain good debates between two of detectives throughout the investigation as both are quite different. Well all murders are depicted so badly that I was somehow sad after watching this movie. Overall can say movie was good. But one might have seen such things on TV detective shows. J Instead A good timepass!

paradox terminology

paradox is a statement that contradicts itself. Isnt it strange? It is quite difficult to understand it. Literature is always been so complex for me. Or may be I am so much complex to understand all this terminology. could you produce such statement that conflicts with itself? you might be thinking its too difficult. If one dont understand even meaning, how can one make such statements so easily? well, many of you had used such statements in their routine life.

e.g.: "I always lie" is a paradox because if it is true it must be false. Isnt it cool?

I found this term in while reading on Socrates. I was searching for followers sequence among Socrates, Aristotle, Plato & Alexander. and got the sequence. First came Socrates => Plato => Aristotle => Alexander the great.

Socratic Paradoxes
Many of the beliefs traditionally attributed to the historical Socrates have been characterized as "paradoxal" because they seem to conflict with common sense. The following are among the so-called Socratic Paradoxes:

• No one desires evil.
• No one errs or does wrong willingly/knowingly.
• Virtue - all virtue - is knowledge.
• Virtue is sufficient for happiness.
• I know that I know nothing.

A thought to Epicurus' Philosophy

Let me start with Author Epicurus. Epicurus is a famous Greek ancient philosopher. He taught that pleasure and pain are the measures of what is good and bad, that death is the end of the body and the soul and should therefore not be feared, that the gods do not reward or punish humans, that the universe is infinite and eternal, and that events in the world are ultimately based on the motions and interactions of atoms moving in empty space.

More details can be seen at wikipedia link: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Epicurus

It’s a weird quote I found on internet plus quite interesting. Just give a thought to yourself. Isn't it true? We people are too Orthodox to believe everything what others say.

I always have question in my mind "Does God really exists?" and so many of you might have! Well it is similar to question "Who came first: Hen or Egg?" Answer will vary from person to person, because no correct solution exists. Thing is what to believe or what not to!

If god survives us then why there is evil inside a human, cant he removes evil? If he can’t remove evil then how can he became God? We think god with super natural power, then how can one evil survive against this supernatural power? Why God is invisible to everyone? What is the significance of God if thousands of people calling him and he is not coming? Does he have any kind of Laws in his list? What order does God used to follow? Does God stay in any Idol?

According to me, God is just belief of people, their hope of making things correct, removing all malicious things and make society happy. Not more than that. What is happening around us, only we are responsible for that and does by ourselves only. If we are driven by God, then why he driving us to do wrong things? Going temple with new clothes everyday won’t vanish your sins if you are cheating someone at office every day. What we are supposed to do is follow realism and doing correct things in our lives.

More on "The Principal Doctrines" from Epicurus can be found at: http://www.epicurus.net/en/principal.html

What do you think? Is Author correct in his philosophy?

Exploring Puzzle World

This blog is for all Puzzle lovers like me. Some more puzzles served at your door. Click and be master. I am fond of puzzles. When you need some refreshment try using with these puzzles, you will feel energized. Trust me there is different feeling when you achieve something in any game or puzzle.

Let’s start with basic puzzles.

One of my favorite puzzles is Circuitry: http://www.cdotspace.com/circuitry/index.asp
It sounds like stupid circuit puzzle but it is not. Great thing about this puzzle is you will stick to it until you complete all levels with full efficiency. Mainly you need to arrange all bulbs such that they make a single circuit attached with current supply and lights all bulbs. Efficiency is based on Speed as well moves you make while lighting all bulbs.

I have scored 100% efficiency for all free available versions. Now I am thinking to buy more level for $ 20. Try playing it you will have fun.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Famous in all: http://www.puzzle-sudoku.net/
You must be filling Sudoku when you were in school in daily newspaper. I personally like Sudoku so much. But believe me it’s really tough game though. What you need to do is making horizontal, vertical and each square box with 1 to 9 appears once with some support of existing added numbers. There are so many advantages playing this puzzle. Just don’t play it as fun or time pass. Concentrating on all 9 square boxes gives you vast eye visualization. Don’t play every time with making assumptions, but yes at harder level you have make assumptions which gives you output. This assumptions give you decision capacity basically.

Have you tried to make your own Sudoku puzzle? Try it once, you’ll have great fun. You can register for daily Sudoku puzzle Mail.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Something different but interesting: http://www.puzzle-loop.com/
Loop is different and quite enjoyable game. What you need to make is a single loop around matching number of lines around given number. Well it is easy to play it, but most of the people made mistake of creating two loops. One good practice is to start with surround of (0) zero if given. Just make cross bar where no line can be possible. This will help you playing it easily.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

New puzzle to play with: http://www.puzzle-bridges.com/
It is not like making any bridge as name is! You need to connect lines so that it makes continuous connecting bridge and that’s how name Bridge came into existence. I am not much good at playing this puzzle.

Just play and try to learn it. You will be addict to it.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

All are expert in it: http://www.spotthedifference.com/
We all are expert spotting difference between two objects. But this will become quite difficult and more interesting when you play it more. Spotting difference on different direction objects, mirror objects, mirror objects in different direction, vertical mirror objects makes it different from other puzzles.

I am damn sure you will need someone’s help to go at higher level. Well it’s not Childs play which we might be thinking.
