    Nice post!

    One of the reason for using FF is its versatile nature of add-ons besides being the open-source browser.

    However, I can see that Chrome has increasing number of add-ons on its rep.

    :)

    Keep it heated!

कुन च्याट एप्स चलाउने?

फेसबुकको मेसेन्जरमा स्टोरीज आएपछि वाक्क, दिक्क नै भइयो । त्यसको विकल्प खोज्ने क्रममा पहिले त फेसबुक र मेसेन्जर एप दुवै मोबाइलबाट हटाएर ब्राउजरमा चलाउन थालेँ । त्यसको केही दिनपछि फेसबुक लाइट र मेसेन्जर लाइट चलाउन पुगेँ । फेसबुक लाइटको 'एप एक्सपिरियन्स' खासै गतिलो लागेन र फेरि केही हप्ता पछि फेसबुक एपमा सरेँ तर फेसबुक मेसेन्जर चाँहि मेसेन्जर लाइट नै मनपर्‍यो । गज्जब, च्याट गर्न मात्र मिल्ने । त्यसो त मोबाइलमा करिब आधा दर्जन च्याट एप्स छन्, सबै एप सँधै चलाइँदैन । अर्को कुरा, च्याटको लागि प्रयोग नगरिने एप्‌मा पनि च्याट गर्ने फिचर छ या भनौँ "प्राइभेट मेसेज" गर्ने सुबिधा छ । उदाहरणको लागि इन्स्टाग्राम फोटो सेयर गर्ने एप हो, तर यहाँ साथीहरुलाई सिधै मेसेज पनि गर्न मिल्छ, दोहोरो च्याट गर्न मिल्छ । हिजोआज म पनि प्राय: ट्विटरको 'डाइरेक्ट मेसेज' धेरै प्रयोग गरिरहेको हुन्छु, साथीहरुसँग कुरा गर्न । एक समय यस्तो थियो, म गुगल टक या भनौँ जिमेल च्याट मात्रै प्रयोग गर्थेँ । कसैले केही म्यासेज मलाई पठाउनु छ भने, कि त ईमेल गर्थे वा गुगल टकमा कुरा गर्थे, हैन भने फोन र एसएम...

Shirish Ko Phool : Review & Download

One of the finest book ever written in Nepali literature....Shirish Ko Phool and one of my personal favorite. I have read this novel over four times or say five times..and each time I finish the novel I feel pang and it hangs on my head for so many days. Why guilt is so painful that made such a strong woman called Sakambari to suicide..or die…?? The novel has a wonderful language..the simplest of all. When I had read it for the first time..to tell the truth that I hadn’t really understood the novel, I felt the love story in it and I could not understand the passion in the novel.. But this day I may say I am able to figure out the passion and the feelings of the author.. I really appreciate the wonderful story, the plot the real setting, the real characters…and the situation of the novel till it ends. The pain of running away from the feelings and passion. When the Suyogbir says.."Ma glass ma bhagchu” ( I forgot the line exactly…). The feeling is that we run away from pai...

ट्विटरव्दारा प्रयोगकर्तालाई पासवर्ड परिवर्तन गर्न आग्रह [पडकास्ट 📻 ]

आकार पोष्ट रेडियोको पहिलो अंकमा स्वागत छ । आजको यो अंकमा ट्विटरले केही दिन पहिले पासवर्ड परिवर्तन गर्न जारी गरेको सूचनाको बारेमा कुरा गर्दैछु । के कति कारणले, ट्विटरले पासवर्ड परिवर्तन गर्न सूचना जारी गर्‍यो, तथा प्रयोगकर्ताले के कति कारणले पासवर्ड तुरुन्त परिवर्तन गर्नुपर्छ भन्ने विषयमा यो अंक केन्द्रित छ । पडकास्टको यो पहिलो अंक परिक्षणको रुपमा मोबाइलमा रेकर्ड गरेर तयार पारिएको हो । कति सकिन्छ थाहा छैन, तर यस पडकास्टलाई साप्ताहिक रुपमा सञ्चालन गर्ने मेरो योजना छ, जहाँ सूचना प्रविधिका विभिन्न पाटोहरुको बारेमा कुरा गर्नेछु । हाललाई यो पडकास्ट एन्कर एफएम तथा स्टिचर एप मार्फत सुन्न सकिन्छ । ट्विटरमा प्रयोग भएको पासवर्ड अन्य साइटहरुमा (जस्तो: फेसबुक, गुगल, दराज, सस्तोडिल, ड्रपबक्स आदि) पनि प्रयोग गरिएकोछ भने, ती साइटहरुमा पनि पासवर्ड तुरुन्त परिवर्तन गर्नुभइ, इन्टरनेटमा सुरक्षित रहनुहोला। प्रो टिप: साइटहरुमा कहिले पनि एउटै पासवर्ड प्रयोग नगर्नुहोला। pic.twitter.com/PjWwQWc7C4 — Aakar Anil (@aakarpost) May 4, 2018
