10 short links for today #5

Instead of the usual 5, today I will be sharing with you twice the number of links.

logo-tubechop 1. TubeChop: Chop a section of a long YouTube video containing the interesting part and share. You can choose both the start and end time.

2. Build an Atom: A simple collection of images showing the inside structure – electrons, protons, shells and orbitals of atoms of all the elements.

3. 8-bit FM: An online radio station streaming 8-bit video game soundtracks and other “nerdy” tunes.

4. Picamatic: An image sharing website that allows you to upload a large number of images simultaneously. Instead of only one upload buttons, it has several arranged in a grid. Upload one file and move to the second one while the previous is still uploading and then to the next and so on. There is also a batch uploading feature.

5. Jumbra: An online application powered by the Google App Engine that combines a number of RSS/Atom feeds into a single feed. Similar to RSS Mixer.

6. A simulation of gravity using jQuery. Pretty cool animation. I wonder if we can actually put this to use on a website.

7. Font Picker: An online tool that displays all fonts installed on your system and helps you choose which one is most suitable for a particular project. You can even type your own text, like the title of the website and see how it appears using different fonts. Highly recommended for designers.

8. Coolspotters: An online service that makes it easy to discover and buy the products, brands, and fashions being used by your favorite celebrities – in their real lives, and in movies and television. So if you see a particular dress worn by a celebrity that appeals to you, you can head to Coolspotters and find out if it’s for sale and where.

9. Logicly: An interesting logic gate simulator. Add different logic gates (AND, NAND, XOR etc) connect it with wires and put a bulb at the output. If the bulb lights up when you apply the inputs the result is one. If it remains off, its a zero.

10. The Manuals: A place where you can search and download manuals of all kinds of products – from toasters to cars to chainsaws. Their index covers a total of 5.7 million manuals. Also see Diplodocs.

How to Record CPU and Memory Usage Over Time in Windows?

Whenever the computer is lagging or some application is taking too long to respond, we usually fire up task manager and look under the Performance tab or under Processes to check on processor utilization or the amount of free memory available. The task manager is ideal for real-time analysis of CPU and memory utilization. It even displays a short history of CPU utilization in the form of a graph. You get a small time-window, about 30 seconds or so, depending on how large the viewing area is.

How to Schedule Changes to Your Facebook Page Cover Photo
