My latest Google Hack, a true masterpiece. Create your own custom RSS feed for files hosted at Rapid Share, Megaupload, Mediafire etc. For example: you are interested in "Spanish hip hop" , this feed will provide links to "Spanish hip hop" hosted at Rapid Share etc! In most cases it won't provide the links to the hosted files directly, but what it does is provide links to blog entries where people provide links to the thing you are looking for! This feed is powered by the Google blog search, which means it is ultra fast. So almost instantly someone provides new links, your feed will be updated!
Click the link below, or keep it as a bookmark, enter something and click OK. The page you are looking at is already your custom RSS feed! Copy the URL into your feed reader and it's done!
Using Yahoo Pipes I created a RSS feed containing only the English content of my weblog. A German only feed will follow soon. This woks by filtering out several German keywords, like "der,die,das" (eng: the). Of course this method isn't perfect, so some German content could still get through.
This is my latest tool for finding MP3 files using Google. Sure you can look for mp3 files by entering Aphex Twin mp3 into Google, but the results will be clutered with 99% of junk.
This tool is limited to the best free and legal mp3 hosting sites. Sites covered are:
- insound.com
- epitonic.com
- betterpropaganda.com
- tonspion.de
- thewire.co.uk
- archive.org

Today I tried Google Spreadsheets. First thing I discovered, there is no charts function! Lots of other online online spreadsheet sites do offer charts, but if for some reason, you have to use Google's service, there is a little work around which offers a very basic and simple solution.
First, this solution wasn't discovered by myself, it's a trick I learned from juiceanalytics.com. It is intended for Excel but also works for Google Spreadsheets.
These in-cell bars are created using the repeat (REPT) function. REPT looks like this:
=REPT("text",number of times)
For example =REPT(X,5) gives you XXXXX. For in cell bars, use the letter I and set the font size to 10 or even smaller. "Number of times" can also be variable, I doesn't need to be a fixed value.
For instance:
=REPT("I",B2) would print the letter according to the value in cell B2.
This is my latest Google Hack. This handy tool will use Google to find files hosted at free file hoster like rapidshare.de or Megaupload. 22 file hosters are included:
rapidshare, megaupload, mediafire, mytempdir, slil, sendspace, turboupload, speedshare, hyperupload, getfile, depositfiles, webfile, file2share, rapidupload, yourfile, yourfilehost, filehd, mooload, scambia, filepost, justupit, simpleupload.
I could add more, but in a few tests the results didn't improve.
How to use: Klick the FFHS link, enter something, for example "spiderman 3 trailer". You will be redirected to a Google result page.
The shows from WNYC are available in three formats:
1. MP3 files, can be downloaded directly (Example page
2. RAM (Real Audio) files, they are a bit tricky to download ( Example page). First, download the show as you would normaly would download something. Usualy you have to right click on the link and then select "save target as...". The downloaded file should be very small, maybe 1KB and is named, in this case newsounds2424.ra . Open the file, using a text editor and you will find the proper link to the .ra file. In this case, the link is: raudio...newsounds2424.ra . Notice the beginning of the link? It starts with rtsp, which means it can't be downloaded using a plain browser. Download the file using Flashget
3. A MP3 file hidden in RA file, download the show be right clicking on the link (Example page. Open downloaded file (spinning070906.mp3) using a text editor. You will find the proper link. Now use this link to download the file.
Rapget is a download manager especially designed for file hosters like rapidshare (all together around 60 different file hoster are supported). Rapget also recognises the code very often has to be entered before the download starts. All one has to do, is to enter the link to the referring page where the file is hosted.
Usually the download speed is very slow, so best thing would be to droop all your links into Rapget and then forget about it for the next few hours. Or let do Rapget all the work during night.
So what does this mean? Basicly Super is a very easy to use software, which is capable of converting ANY video file in absolutly any other video format. All you have to do is drop the file into SUPER, select the output format and that's it! Best thing is, no extra codecs are needed !!!
SUPER can also be used for extracting the sound of a video file or convert audio only files.
