Internet Explorer extension to view banned BlogSpot blogs

Posted by mansoor - 18/05/06 at 04:05:03 am

I am a regular reader of various blogs on Blogger/BlogSpot. Recently PTA has imposed ban on the blogs which are hosted on Blogger/BlogSpot. There are quite a few ways to bypass this access, I had created a simple Internet Explorer extension which will allow users to alter the url of the blogs, so that these blogs can be accessed.

A Simple process to access a BlogSpot site is to create a subscription an Online RSS reader such as BlogLines or Google Reader or any other RSS Reader. I am presonally using BlogLines, so I am not much practically effected by this ban. If you are using a RSS Reader (Online or Desktop) and the blog is updated, you will get a link to read those blogs on your Reader, when you have my extension installed, you can right clicks on BlogSpot link and then select [Bypass BlogSpot Ban (PKBlogs)], the link will be altered so that you can view the BlogSpot link via PKBlogs.com proxy server. If you perfom the following operations on a Non-BlogSpot link, nothing will happen.

If the link on which Right Click was performed contains a link to BlogSpot blog, right click and then select just click on that link, and the selected [Bypass BlogSpot Ban (PKBlogs)] as a result this blog new window, which will be showing the BlogSpot via the PKBlogs proxy server. Currently i had only added support for PKBlogs.com, which seems to be mainly used workaround to read Blogger/BlogSpot Blogs, but if there are any other ways to perform this action i suggest that users should provide feedback on the available options.

How to Install
Simple save following registry entry on your computer, and then double click it, click Yes, your done. Close all of your IE windows to see the effect of changes.

Happy Blogging !!!

No CoD 3 for PC

Posted by mansoor - 07/05/06 at 12:05:45 am

First there was Medal of Honor from EA. Then the team splitted and then they created a complete new game called Call of Duty. CoD or Call of Duty was a huge success due to intense enviroment with some of the best sound effects that you could ever hear !. Game play, level you name it and CoD had the best of it. Then they release CoD on Consoles. Now, a new mission pack or extension for Call of Duty for PC was released Call of Duty : United Offensive. Then CoD² for PC and XBox 360. Now this report says that there may not be any CoD³ for PC, but only for PS3, XBox 360 and Nintendo Wii !. WTF ??, a game which became populat only because of the PC version and it never exisited on the Consoles is now going only Consoles. I can not believe this thing. Total crap !!. We PC Gamer are stabbed right at our back by the Developers/Publishers. This is #$%@#@. Black day for PC Gamers.
