Hijacking a space shuttle to help up John Jameson against Venom and Carnage, Spider-Man ends up stuck on Counter-Earth, an Earth like planet in the same orbit on other side of the sun.

Paprika


Genres: Fantasy, Horror, Mystery, Psychological, Science Fiction

Plot Summary:
In the near future, a revolutionary new psychotherapy treatment called PT has been invented. Through a device called the "DC Mini", it is able to act as a "dream detective" to enter into people's dreams and explore their unconscious thoughts. Before the government can pass a bill authorizing the use of such advanced psychiatric technology, one of the prototypes is stolen, sending the research facility into an uproar. In the wrong hands, the potential misuse of the device could be devastating, allowing the user to completely annihilate a dreamer's personality while they are asleep. Renowned scientist, Dr. Atsuko Chiba, enters the dream world under her exotic alter-ego, code name "PAPRIKA," in an attempt to discover who is behind the plot to undermine the new invention.

Expandable Posts II

Since the first wasnt very... usable, here's a rewrite which is easier to implement, I think, based on Super Peek-A-Boo Posts by Hans and Ramani.

Step 0: Backup your existing template before modifying it.

Step 1: Add the following javascript code to the head of your template. You can place it just above the </head> tag.

<script type='text/javascript'>
//<![CDATA[
<!--

var peekaBtnTextOn = "Show";
var peekaBtnTextOff = "Hide";

function peekaBtn(id)
{
var div = document.getElementById(id);
var divs = div.getElementsByTagName('div');

for (var i = 0; i < divs.length; i++) {
if (divs[i].id == "expandedpost") {
var xp_div_tx = divs[i].innerHTML
var xp_div_id = "xp_" + id;

divs[i].innerHTML = '\
<input type="button" value="' + peekaBtnTextOn + '" class="XP" onclick="peekaBtnToggle(\''+ xp_div_id + '\')" />\
<div style="display: none;" id=\'' + xp_div_id + '\'><p>' + xp_div_tx + '</p></div>';
}
}
}

function peekaBtnToggle(id)
{
var div = document.getElementById(id);
if (div.style.display != "") {
div.style.display = "";
div.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].value = peekaBtnTextOff;
} else {
div.style.display = 'none';
div.parentNode.getElementsByTagName('input')[0].value = peekaBtnTextOn;
}
}
//-->
//]]>
</script>


Tip: Changing the values of peekaBtnTextOn and peekaBtnTextOff changes the buttons' texts accordingly.

Step 2: Design the button by adding this in the <b:skin> block. Change to your liking, of course.
.XP {
font-size: 10px;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
width: 120px;
}

Step 3: Find the includable named 'post' in your template, and change it so part of it looks like below (the colored text must be added). Note that I worked on an unmodified template.
<div class='post-body' expr:id='"post-" + data:post.id'>
<p><data:post.body/></p>
<script type='text/javascript'>peekaBtn("post-" + "<data:post.id/>")</script>
.... rest of template code ....

Step 4: In the Settings - Formatting tab, go to the bottom and enter the following post-template:
Some text go here.
<div id="expandedpost">
Peek-A-Boo'd text goes here.
</div>

That's it :-)

Universal Share Downloader v1.3.4.6


Last(?) public version of a very good download manager for free file hosts (e.g. Megaupload) similar to RapGet that's useful to those without premium accounts as it supports OCR of some CAPTCHA [ Wikipedia ] (those little text you type before the actual download) and still works with Megaupload as of this writing. But for some reason, the author stopped distributing it on his website.

Links removed.


Tip: If you get "no more download slots" error from MU, change the User Agent in Options -> Misc:

Universal Share Downloader
(Click to enlarge)


And change it to any of the ff:
Code:
Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 5.1; MEGAUPLOAD 2.0)
Code:
Firefox/2.0.0.5;MEGAUPLOAD 1.0
Code:
Opera/9.21 (Windows NT 5.1; U; MEGAUPLOAD 1.0; en)

As previously posted. Or make your own (valid) UA as long as the "magic" text is there ;-)

Note: When downloading as a free user, you are still bound by limits of a free user: download countdowns are still waited for and to bypass download limit exceeded messages is to use proxies. But really, this program does a great job making downloading for free a lot easier :-)

HOWTO: Block ads in Chikka Txt Messenger v4

Chikka ads appear non-obtrusive (yet) and small enough to not be a bandwidth hog (yet) but similar guides/apps have sprung up for Y!M, AIM, etc. Besides, auto-update breaks my IM session :-\ And I'm on XP so adjust if you're using an older OS.

Chikka Txt Messenger v4
1. Add this to your Hosts file [1]:

Code:
127.0.0.1 imu.chikka.com

Or block all incoming/outgoing connections with your firewall on that hostname or 209.10.203.112

2. If you want to delete exisiting ads, purge recursively:
Code:
%USERPROFILE%\ChikkaDefault\Data\ads

3. To completely remove/hide the ads placeholder in the GUI on the default theme:

Edit skins.xml from (default install directory):
Code:
%ProgramFiles%\Chikka Messenger\Chikka v.4\skins\Default

Search for:
Code:
<control id="807" rect="44,390,174,450">

Yes, that's the same as the coords attribute of HTML's <map> tag. Now replace with:
Code:
<control id="807" rect="44,0,174,0">

Output:
Chikka Txt Messenger v4
Note: Blocking imu.chikka.com will also effectively block auto-update, the "web updates" dialog contents and some other (blank) pages that dont seem to be used at this time. MMS should still work as it uses a different address.

Subtitling Guide

Something really useful should be spread :-)

heinrich_the_great wrote:

I included how to rip subtitles from DVDs, How to create soft subs, and how to render Hard Subs. I wrote it at about 3AM, so some parts may not be well written.

Format: PDF / 27 pages / ~5MB

Tip: If you'd like to use Gabest's SubResync (part of VobSub) for some auto-OCR [1] work instead of SubRip, you need to download additional files (see below) and extract to the VobSub directory.



[1] Doesn't work 100% since they're old libs. So you have to use a subtitle-editing program to apply some (hopefully, minimal) fixes.
