The World has changed rapidly over the past 10 years. We are now connected to the Web not only  from all over the world but also from almost all our devices.

This ubiquitous growth of the Internet is only waiting to enter our lives in more dramatic ways.

Imagine using the web as a place to store all your data, edit all you word and excel files, play music, message friends, browse the internet without losing your anonymity, run an operating system….. and imagine doing all this inside that little browser on which you are reading this page!

This is not something from the future but the present. A website has been silently putting together a collection of web based software to do exactly these tasks and even more! The website in question is MyWebgrams.com

They have used a layout similar to that used by filehippo.com It makes it easier for you to look for the apps to do your job. You’ll find the best software in each category listed in the first page. You can find an even larger collection in subsequent pages.

This website will be very useful for People using Netbooks and also for people on the go. They have an unobtrusive ads system; so it’s easy to find what you need. Truly - “Find the web apps to do your job in seconds”.

How about having your computer start up by itself; Download stuff at the odd times in the night that your telco feels you can enjoy unlimited plans; and then sleep/shutdown by itself; while you sleep soundly all the while :)
That's exactly what we'll learn to do.

Software you'll be using (200KB)

I just love this simple software to turn on and turn off the PC. It does it's job as advertised and is quite simple to use. The screenshot below shows the program with preferences set to start utorrent (you can have anything here) at 2:10AM and then turn off the computer at 7:50 AM.



We'll also make use of Scheduled tasks in windowsj; with the scheduled tasks you can have even more programs turning on automatically. You can find a neat write up on using Scheduled tasks here

If your service provider times your connection properly then this should be it. You're done and enjoy your sleep.
But I've found that certain operators don't have enough intelligence in their PC's and over-charge you for using your computer beyond your stipulated time. For eg: suppose your free download time ends at 8AM in the morning and you start a 200MB download at 7:50AM. By 7:59:59 you'd have downloaded 150MB and then by 8:03AM you download the remaining 50MB. But the stupid/whatever telco would charge you for the whole 200MB!!! In case you have had this problem use this work around.
The batch file below will simple issue commands to ur modem to disconnect and reconnect to the network. This way you'll have a time-stamp to disprove the telco.

Type out the lines between <---start of code----> and <---End of Code---> into notepad and save it as "bsnl.bat" or anything for that matter, the extension should be "*.bat"

Code analysis: {skip it if you are okay using a random script }
line 1: it's simply a comment line
line 2: turn on Firefox {change the location if you installed firefox elsewheree}

line 3: this'll wait for a few milliseconds. This is to let firefox to turn on. 
line 4: this line of code will turn on firefox with the link shown. It'll simply disconnect the internet connection. 
line 5: another wait so that the modem has disconnected fully
line 6: this time we'll connect back to the network and the URL does just that




Now this batch file will be scheduled to run using Windows Scheduler. Schedule the batch file to be run twice. Once at around 2:11 Am. Just after the Computer is woken up by W.O.S.B and again just before the computer is shut down. that’s around 7-49AM in this case. Enjoy the limited unlimited plan with lots of sleep and no strings attached!

Comodo firewall pro is the best firewall software around. It is safer than most of the firewalls out there and best of all , it's free!

Soon after beginning to use it I found that i had inadvertently blocked my favorite browser,Firefox.
i tried to add firefox to the list of trusted applications but it did not work and then finally i had to disable comodo in order to access the web.

If you have been through such a problem with comodo here is a solution which will almost always work.

This tutorial is for CFP 3

step 1 : Open Comodo and then select "firewall" from the upper tab. Now click on "Advanced" and then on "Network security Policy




Step 2: When you have clicked on the "network policy tab. The window shown below comes up. You'll find the policy settings for every web based application. Navigate to the application which us having troubles accessing the web. here i chose firefox(Under treat as you can see that firefox is a "trusted application" but this was after i changed the setting, earlier it was under "custom" settings which was when i had problems)



Step 3 : Right click on the name of the program that is having troubles accessing the web. Click on "edit".




Step 4: Click on "use predefined policy" and select "trusted application" from the drop down menu . Click on apply .


This should solve the problem and enable access to the web to the specific application .
