  1. 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!

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...

नेपाली टाइप गर्ने सजिलो तरिका

मदन पुरस्कार पुस्तकालयले  २००७  २००३-४ ताका नेपाली युनिकोड किबोर्ड लेआउट, रोमनाइज्ड र ट्रेडिसनल सार्वजनिक गर्यो । नेपाली टाइपिङ (ट्रेडिसनल) जान्दै नजान्ने (कहिले नेपाली टाइप नगरेको) मैले, मदन पुरस्कार पुस्तकालयले सार्वजनिक गरेको रोमनाइज्ड नेपाली युनिकोड किबोर्ड लेआउट कम्प्युटरमा राखेर पहिलो पटक कम्प्युटरमा नेपाली भाषामा लेखेँ । यसविचमा कम्प्युटर तथा मोबाइलको लागि धेरै किसिमका नेपाली किबोर्ड लेआउट तथा एप्सहरु आइसकेकाछन्, तर पनि इन्टरनेट प्रयोगकर्ताहरु नेपाली टाइप गर्नुपर्दा अप्ठ्यारो मान्छन् । मलाई धेरैले सोध्ने गरेको प्रश्न भनेको, "फेसबुकमा कसरी नेपाली टाइप गर्ने?" अत: यो ब्लगमा मदन पुरस्कार पुस्तकालय (मपुपु) ले निर्माण गरेको नेपाली युनिकोड किबोर्ड लेआउट बारे चर्चा गर्दैछु। प्रिती, कान्तिपुर लगायतका 'ट्रु टाइप फन्ट' (ttf) प्रयोग गरेर ट्रेडिसनल लेआउटमा नेपाली टाइप गर्ने प्रयोगकर्ताहरुले, नेपाली ट्रेडिसनल युनिकोड किबोर्ड लेआउट राखेर, इन्टरनेटमा सजिलै सँग नेपालीमा लेख्न सक्छन् । भन्नुको मतलब, तपाईलाई पहिले नै नेपाली टाइपिङ आउँछ भने टाइपिङ गर्ने तरिका उही हुन्छ, उही ...

५ करोड फेसबुक प्रयोगकर्ताको तथ्यांक चोरी भएको खबर केही दिन पहिले गार्डियन तथा न्युयोर्क टाइम्स ले प्रकाशित गरेको थियो । प्रयोगकर्ताको जानकारी विना फेसबुकबाट लिइएको उक्त तथ्यांकलाई क्याम्ब्रिज एनालिटिका भन्ने कम्पनीले अनधिकृत रुपमा प्रयोग गरेको दावी गर्दै, क्याम्ब्रिज एनालिटिका’का भूतपूर्व इन्जिनियर क्रिस्टोफर वाइलीले गार्डियनलाई अन्तरवार्ता दिएर यी कुराहरु मिडियामा सार्वजनिक गरेका थिए । क्रिस्टोफरका अनुसार क्याम्ब्रिज एनालिटिकाले २०१४ मा एउटा एप मार्फत करिब ५ करोड फेसबुक प्रयोगकर्ताहरुको तथ्यांक चोरी गरेको थियो । क्याम्ब्रिज एनालिटिका र फेसबुककै विषयमा गार्डियनले पहिले नै २०१५ मा समाचार प्रकाशित गरेको थियो । उक्त समाचार पछि फेसबुकले क्याम्ब्रिज एनालिटिकालाई तथ्यांक मेटाउन भनेको र एनालिटिकाले तथ्यांक मेटाएको जानकारी फेसबुकलाई गराएको थियो । तर दुबै कम्पनीले यो कुरालाई गुपचुप राखेका थिए, अझ उल्टै फेसबुकले जथाभावी समाचार लेखेको भन्दै गार्डियनलाई मुद्दा हाल्ने धम्कि दिएको थियो भने क्याम्ब्रिज एनालिटिकाले तथ्यांक सुरक्षित नै राखेको थियो । त्यही चोरी गरिएको प्रयोगकर्ताहरुको तथ्यांकलाई ...

फेसबुक न्युजफिड अपडेट - पेजलाई झनै गाह्रो

अमेरिकामा भएको पछिल्लो राष्ट्रपति निर्वाचनको परिणाम सार्वजनिक भएसँगै फेसबुक लगायत विभिन्न सोसल मिडिया साइटहरुको उपयोगिताबारे व्यापक बहस सुरु भएको थियो । "फेक न्युज"को बिगबिगीले गर्दा फेसबुक, एकहिसाबमा फेकबुकमा परिणत भयो । प्राय: फेक न्युजहरु नै धेरै सेयर हुने र भाइरल हुन थाले । धेरै सेयर हुँदा, स्वाभावत: "फेक न्युज" पनि साँच्चै हो भन्न थालियो । कहिँकति अनुसन्धान छैन, फलानोले एकथरि पेजबाट समाचार सेयर गर्छ, अर्कोले सेयर गर्छ, अर्कोले गर्छ, असत्य तथा काल्पनिक समाचारहरु कै बोलबाला देखियो । नेपालमा भएको पछिल्लो निर्वाचनमा पनि प्रचारवाजी शैलीका मनगढन्ते तथा काल्पनिक समाचारहरु भाइरल भए । फलाना र चिलाना पार्टि, मान्छे पिच्छेका अनलाइन समाचार पोर्टल, फेसबुकको न्युजफिड हेर्न नै दिक्क लाग्ने किसिमको थियो । सबैभन्दा अनौठो लाग्ने चाँहि, मान्छेहरु फेसबुकमा फलाना समाचार पोर्टलले लेखेको भन्दै सेयर गरिरहेका भेटिन्थे । अझ के भने, नेपालका ठूला प्रकाशनहरु सँग ठ्याक्कै मिल्ने नामहरु राखेर काल्पनिक समाचारको व्यापार गर्ने समूहहरु नै छन् । उदाहरणको लागि, कान्तिपुरले यस्तो उस्तो लेख्यो ...
