February 8th, 2010 — Internet, South Africa, Technology
Someone asked me if it is possible to fax from the internet to a normal landline fax number. I have never done this, and haven’t been able to find a service offering of the sort.
Do you know of a service like this? Obviously I need it to work to South African numbers, and preferably the service should be free
Let me know if you’re aware of something like this please?
February 6th, 2008 — Assessment, Dizzy Dee, Personality
Last time I did the Jung Type Personality Test I was an ENFJ, and now I’m an ENFP. I suppose the results are very similar, but now I’m wondering if the tests differ, or has my personality really changed? I guess it might have been influenced by a different mood as well? Who knows. For what its worth, here’s the personality type I’m said to be now…

ENFP – “Journalist”. Uncanny sense of the motivations of others. Life is an exciting drama. 8.1% of total population.

January 29th, 2008 — download, youtube
In the past when I wanted to download a Youtube video, I used Arestube – which worked like a charm. Lately though, I suspect that Youtube has made some changes to their security, and now Arestube can’t download their video’s anymore. Pity, cause I was a loyal Arestube fan.
There are also various sites which claim that you can download Youtube video’s from them, but none of these worked for me – all of them giving an error that the Youtube file couldn’t be found.
I then started looking around for another way to get Youtube video’s on my hard drive, and had searched high and low for a software app which would enable me
to do this.
Finally I came up with the following steps…
Firefox (browser) has a add-on which you can install to download Youtube video’s, called Download Helper. Once you have that installed, you can download Youtube video’s to your harddrive as .flv files. Not many standard
players are able to play this format though, so off I went, in search of a new player, or codec for one of my existing players.
I found Combined Community Codec Pack [6.06MB], which is a codec that enables
you to view .flv video files in Media Player. This is all very grand if you just want to use the video on your own computer, but if you want to forward this
video to a friend, you’d have to send them the codec pack as well as the video file.
So now I had to find a converter for .flv files, to .wmv or .mov files. *sigh*
On Download.com,I managed to find Total Video Converter [5.12MB] for free.
Using that I was able to convert my .flv files to .wmv- which are usually played by all standard Windows Media Players. The only downside to that converter is that it places a link to their website in the top left corner of the video, but if you can live with that, its great.
Its quite a hassle as you can see, but once you have all the components installed it should take so much time.
