VB6 Desktop Clock sidebar in WinXP



I like the Windows Vista clock sidebar interface but since I'm using Windows XP, I decided to create an imitation of it in Visual Basic. Though it doesn't look exactly alike, I just wanted a clock in my sidebar, that's all. This program is not yet finish though, the alarm feature that I've added is not yet finalized. As you can see in the screenie, the desktop clock sidebar i've made have the ff features: analog & digital clock, computer usage elapsed time (this feature tells you how long your pc is on) & alarm (not yet enabled).

I'll share my program and post the download link as soon as I've finished the alarm feature.

Oh btw, I've placed this program in startup so that everytime I login to windows, the desktop clock sidebar program will be visible in my desktop automatically.

Ciao!

FLV converter and other video converters

A friend of mine is currently addicted to youtube. She wanted to download all her favorite videos and burn it into a dvd copy. She'd asked me how, so here it is:

Step 1: You must be using a Firefox ver 2.0 browser. Don't upgrade it to Firefox 3 because the RealPlayer plugin doesn't work well with it.

Step 2: Download Firefox 2 add-on- "Real Player Browser Record Plugin 1.0"

Step 3: Go to youtube and find your favorite flv video. Above the video, when you move your mouse on it, a Real Player's "Download this video" will appear. Click it to download the flv video. Or you can right click the video, choose "Download this video to RealPlayer".

Step 4: Download WinAvi flv converter. I'll post the WinAvi download site.

Step 5: Run WinAvi flv converter. You can convert it to: MP4, IPOD, IPHONE, PSP, WMV, Microsoft Zune, AVI, 3GP format.

Finished!

There are other types of WinAvi converters, I personally used all of them. The WinAvi video converter is the first one I've used for a long time now. I used it to convert Naruto rmvb videos from narutocentral before. Wala pang shippuuden at that time huh. hehe.

So here it is:

My Visual Basic Compilation project






This is our project in Visual Basic. It's a compilation of all programs that we had made. I made most of the interface in Adobe Photoshop CS2. This is already in .exe file. You can download it if you want. Spyware free, don't worry.
