Lissandra Theme on League of Legend Phillipines
I know it is already too late to bring this topic, since Aatrox has been summoned already, but I guess this might lit a little interest to those who love to summon Lissandra on the Field of Justice, and for those individuals who was able to unlock the Frost Guard Summoner Icon.
For those pips who have been playing in the
North America (NA) server LoL (League of Legends) while they too play in
Philippine server LoL (League of Legends), we have seen how Riot welcomed
Lissandra on the Field of Justice. In the login process they have Lissandra’s
animation, while Lissandra’s “Comeback Speech” was being played a.k.a “Lore” telling about the revenge they will partake and being reborn as ice
born, and etc., to wrap up things here’s
the video from Youtube.com.
Youtube video from CatMint0405
I was been sadden by the fact
that our PH server LoL (League of Legends), is not as “Astig” or “Cool” as what Riot had for Lissandra’s
enrollment to the League of Legends. I had the feeling that I want to make one.
"The Adventure"
I was exploring my “GarenaLoLPH” folder as what I use to do, looking at the wallpapers that I could personally use in the image folder to set as my desktop wallpaper.
I saw a folder named login, so I checked it,
and it was ok, I saw the Authentication screen wallpaper in it. It drew my
attention, how about I change the image to the TPA wallpaper? I grab the
wallpaper, do the change stuff hoping
things will work, while I was feared by the fact that my LoL might get messed
up, I logged in, then there it was, changes has been applied, so I said “I see,
this is great! let me change it to Aatrox” still the changes took effect, I
said “Looks like a bit of personalized.”, and currently now I am using Lissandra.
I went on, exploring more, I landed on the directory "en_US\HowlingAbyss" I opened it and saw the "lore" file, out of curiosity I played the file, it is actually a sound file, then there it goes playing, at the first 12 seconds of the sound file, it was silent, until it reaches the 13th sec, Lissandra's voice came out, and she says,
I went on, exploring more, I landed on the directory "en_US\HowlingAbyss" I opened it and saw the "lore" file, out of curiosity I played the file, it is actually a sound file, then there it goes playing, at the first 12 seconds of the sound file, it was silent, until it reaches the 13th sec, Lissandra's voice came out, and she says,
![]() |
| I will bury the world in Ice - Lissandra |
"We have waited so long for this day, we have being so patient. Now my children my frost guard, it is our time. I have seen the future, and it is cold, the watchers return, and they are so pleased with you. They will take away your hunger, they will take away your pain, you will be reborn, like me. You, will become ice born! We will take back what is ours, till the tribes won't be able to stop us, they are but a snow flakes. And we, are an avalanche"
Next was the champions selection sound. I landed on the "ambient" folder and saw the champion select sounds, I played the file and it feels like, was really going to play and pick the champion to summon, you know the feeling of the pressure and excitement.
"The Project"
Now I was thinking, and I had the feeling of projecting on to something, and it was the idea of login screen in the North America LOL server, I said "Since all the way from Lissandra's enrollment until Aatrox enrollment to the League this "lore" auido file was here, how about making something like what Riot had in their login screen ( Like the youtube video above)", but the problem is, our PH server has different means of logging in, there is no animation at all. So my problem was how do I get to inject the "lore" sound file, I mean Lissandra's speech, so much like what Riot had in their log in screen. Then I remembered the champion select sound file, now an idea hit me, I said "How about I mix the champion select sound with the lore sound file, so that when I enter the champion selection process I will be able to hear Lissandra's voice, like the one in the North America LOL server?", I grab onto this idea.
I did the same thing with what I
did in the login screen of LoL, but this time it is a sound file, so I went on
did the changes, mixed the voice of Lissandra and the champion selection sound,
immediately after having the mixed sound file (lore sound file) of Lissandra and the champion
selection sound, I placed it in the champion selection sound folder, again with the
fear of messing up my LoL, I logged in, pressed the “Play” button, been hit
by match making process, there it goes I am on the champion selection process
screen, picked my champion, after a few seconds, there it is
Lissandra’s voice was playing while I was on the champion selection queue and it was like "Wow, cool", you could really feel Lissandra's presence. I
was thinking, that I could personalize/theme my LoL just a little bit of a like with what Riot does. And with this project I can theme it into what tribe I want, Ashe of Avarosan, Sejuani of Winters Claw, and Lissandra of Frost Gaurd.
"The Finished End"
Now, when I play and do the champion selection it is as if just like how Riot welcomed Lissandra. Although lesser in coolness from what Riot had for Lissandra. Now I have my LoL themed as Lissandra the Ice Witch with the voice and login screen, what is exciting is that, if I wanted to theme my LOL with the Avarosan or the Winter's Claw, I can.
Above all, all the copyright ownership belongs to their respective owners; I do not intend to take any of it, all rights reserved to them, this is for personal use only.
"Let's do this - Jax"
Click tribe you prefer and follow the instruction on how to make it.
Theme your Leauge of Legends with the Avarosans, the tribe of Justice lead by Ashe the Frost Archer.
Theme your Leauge of Legends with the Winters Claws, the tribe of Courage, lead by Sejuani.

Embedding Java Applets on Ruby on Rails
A simple way to include your applet on ruby on rails is to embedded it to your rhtml file. Use the embedding html code,
<applet code="MyApplet.class" width="970" height="555">
</applet>
Now you need to emebedd the .class file, "YOU NEED NOT TO DO THE CODING INSIDE THE rhtml file", rather you need to embedd the compiled class file into the rhtml.
Should look like this
<html>
<head>
<title>
My applet
</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>
Here is my applet
</h2>
<hr>
<center>
<applet code="MyApplet.class" width="970" height="555">
</center>
</applet>
<hr>
</body>
</html>
And not like this
<html>
<head>
<title>
My applet
</title>
</head>
<body>
<h2>
Here is my applet
</h2>
<hr>
<center>
import java.applet.*;
import java.awt.*;
import java.awt.event.*;
...... so on and so forth
</center>
</applet>
<hr>
</body>
</html>
Note: If you do not know where to do the coding for your java applet, you can try to use Ready to Program Java IDE, it is an integrated developement environment that makes java programming easy, you can use it to code your applet and compile it to make the .class file.
Your .class file should be in the public folder.
Your_directory_here\your_ruby_on_rails_project\public
Your .class file should be in the public folder.
Your_directory_here\your_ruby_on_rails_project\public
If you used any images or sounds in your applet, all the associated files with the applet for it to run correctly would be placed in the public folder too.
And things should work.

Online File Storage [Dropbox]
What is an online file storage?
It is a 24/7 online repository of your files in a super huge server space, wherein you can access it wherever you are or whenever you want. Some of the online file storage service are Google Drive, iSync, and Dropbox.
Dropbox as an "Online File Storage"
Dropbox is one of the many online file storage service provider, and one of the best, Dropbox has been working hard to provide their user with the best service they can have.
Dropbox can handle your files safe, neat, and easy for you, whether it is a .doc, .jpg, or .mpeg Dropbox fits for it.
Dropbox uses the latest trend of updating and backing up your files, just download the application on their website and install it in you pc, then you will have a dropbox local folder located in your local hard disk, now all of the things that you put in it are synchronize to your online Dropbox account, in that manner your files are automatically backed-up with no messy "Click Upload" thing with your mouse, or attaching your files in an email and saving it as a draft -or you can send it if thats what you do-, it does auto sync. What's nice with this idea is that by the time your computer's hard disk get its "Dead"-line, your files are safe on your online Dropbox account, it's backed-up. And by the time that you just happened to be in something like "Oh no! My flashdrive, where is it?!", Dropbox is there to save you.
Handle Files with Care Please
Dropbox has its nice way of handling your pictures, they provide you with a folder named "Photos" you can put all your pictures in this folder, all the photos you intended to keep safe or share. When you create a folder in this "Photos" folder, Dropbox creates another gallery of photos in your online account too and will provide you with a link where you can view or share your pictures online, plus a slideshow for you to enjoy watching.
Dropbox handle video files in a nice way too, you can watch your videos online or share it to someone using the link that Dropbox will give you.
Dropbox can handle your audio files for sharing or if you just wanna listen to it. When you updload your audio files, Dropbox provides you with another link again, so that you can access your audio files through a link and be able to listen to it wherever you are, or if you want to share it to some, like sharing your audio/music files on facebook.
Other files are handled through zipping when you want to share or download your files.
The Teamates, Coworkers and Colleagues
With Dropbox it's also about sharing your files for collaborative work with your teammates or coworkers. Dropbox lets you do sharing of folders with other Dropbox users or non-Dropbox users, these two are handled differently. For Dropbox users, when they do sharing of folders, all of the people included in the sharing circle will have a copy in their Dropbox account, so that when one of their teamates or coworkers updates a file, everyone gets a copy of that updated file too, now that's real time collaborative work. With non-Dropbox user, they will just have the access through links, although files are updated too.
Never too late to retrieve the "Deleted Ones"
Dropbox actually has the ability to restore your deleted files on your online account, when you actually deleted it when it happens not to be, and Dropbox can restore some previous versions of your files. It's just that, it's never too late to retrieve the deleted ones, wew.
Dropbox as your friendly "File Host-er"
Dropbox can actually host your public files, if you want it to be available to your friends or public. Dropbox provides you a "Public" folder, and all the files in this folder has their respective public link which you can use to provide a download link to others. If you happend to be having a website and you want to host your files for your visitors, you can use Dropbox's public folder, just a little tweak on the html codes and you can provide your visitors with the download link.
Dropbox! "Security Guards" please
Security is a big factor to consider when talking about cyber affairs. Dropbox has a dedicated team who works hard to keep the files in their servers safe and sound. An important thing to note is that, Dropbox employees has no way to get into your files except it be when it demands that it should be, like offering customer support, but I think before they access your files they are bound to ask you for your permission first.
Dropbox says that;
Dropbox uses modern encryption methods to both transfer and store your data.
Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) and AES-256 bit encryption.
Dropbox website and client software are constantly being hardened to enhance security and protect against attacks.
Two-step verification is available for an extra layer of security at login. You can choose to receive security codes by text message or via any Time-Based One-Time Password (TOTP) apps, such as those listed here.
Public files are only viewable by people who have a link to the file(s).
With Dropbox, is all about your safety and your files safety. So why not try Dropbox its safe plus its free!

Remotely Accessing Computers
What is remote access?
Remote access is the manner of accessing a computer or any device
(that supports remote access) away from it, such as that you are not in front
of the device but you can actually control it.
Remote access is commonly used for offering quick support to end
users or clients. It is used also in maintaining servers or computers, that are
actually away from the workplace (ie. international corporations). Or simply if
you want to offer some help to your friends when they are having trouble with
their computers, you can use remote access to.
Remote access a device demands for an administration rights on the
accessed device, it is for security purpose, and the data transfer should be
encrypted for maximum protection.
When using remote access you can actually control the mouse and
keyboard of the computer accessed and you are able to see the screen of the
remote computer, so that you can actually have the control over the computer in
order for you to do what you need to do, if you are fixing some problems with
the computer, offering online support, or doing some maintenance.
Teamviewer as a Remote control for Macs, Windows, and Linux
Teamviewer is a simple, quick, and easy to use software. Teamviewer has been one of the best solution for offering quick support, helding meetings online, and doing remote computer server maintenance. With over 100,000,000 users, widely spread over more than 200 countries.

Simple Robotic Arm (Project Design) [Reloaded]
The Project
Greetings of peace,During my last year in college, we had a subject called project design, I am a computer engineering graduate so we had that, we where told to design a project that is either a stand alone or interfaced one through computers, so me and my team thought of something that would be a nice thing to work on. So at first we where thinking to go for a stand alone one, since I had a trouble dealing with interfacing project during that time, and I am kinda confident with stand alone projects, for the simple reason that we succeeded in making one during our logic circuit 2 project, and at that time interfacing parallel port was just being introduced to us, and that makes me a little bit doubtful in proceeding with interfacing. So the 1st sem ended and all the praises and thanks be to God, I did managed to learn interfacing through parallel port and it was completely super easy. But before that I run through many googling in search for any help, there was the use of the dll ( Direct Link Library) on many languages such as delphi, visual basic and etc. and that's too complicated, too much. You need to import the dll and you need to know the parameters where to pass your variables and stuffs like that. After scrumbling to that kind of method I was still frustrated at that time, but then after that the game changed, a programming language came to my remembrance, which a friend of mine in Canada shared to me, it was Turing a programming language. So I made a research if it's possible to do interfacing programming in Turing, and it was good, Turing can! They have that extra feature, you just need to install the package support included in the installer. And that made me confident with programming parallel ports, and I was able to make 2 project using Turing as a programming language for interfacing parallel ports.
Going back to our project design, me and my team dreamt of something like an automation process, so we ended up with the automated robot arm seeder, there's this seed container with a lot of seeds in it then the robot arm grabs the seeds then transfer it to the seed bedding. And we need to include a conveyor for transport purposes, and a sensor system, which would detect the seed bedding if it's present then that would signal the arm to grab some seeds, then after that the conveyor will transport it out and bring some new empty seed beddings.
Although it was kinda realistic, but still the fear in us, that we might not be able to implement is there. We made a lot of brainstorming, and I was so busy at home doing things to make it possible, prepairing the circuits and fabricating the robot arm, conveyor and the sensor system. Until one day, that dream was already a reality, we where able to make one, a robot arm with a sensor system, and a conveyor that runs and all of this are automated through the computer and the Turing language. Below are some video spoilers of our project.
Video 1 (Robot Arm only)
Video 2 (Robot Arm only )
Video 3 (Robot Arm with Sensor and Conveyor)
Video 4 (Robot Arm with Sensor and Conveyor)
The Materials
First thing to put into mind with regards to the materials is the weight, you need to have a light weight material if you have a small motor to use, but then if you want to use a little bit more heavier you need to make it proportion with the power that your motor can carry. Here are the things that you might want to choose from;A. Cardboard - A light weight material, but not durable enough for a long term use, probably you can use cardboard for prototyping puproses. Candle glue is durable enough to hold things on its place for joints. A tip when using candle glue, using a soldering iron to spread the candle glue evenly on the surface to paste or to join parts will make it durable.
B. Wood - Heavier than cardboard, and durable enough for long term use, but prone to termites attack. You might need a much more powerful motor for rotation. Screws can be used to make joints and candle glue for reinforcement.
C. Alloy Metal - Heavy and durable for long term use, but you need a lot of motor power. Fabricating a robot arm using metals will make it hard to achieve the desired design, since metals are hard to be shaped according to your desired design. Screws are needed to join parts.
The Circuit
I was not able to use a servo motors, since servos aren't available in our area, so it was a challenge for me to create a robot arm using the traditional motors available in our area. I know that the only mechanism for a robot arm to function is for it to rotate clockwise or counter clockwise, up or down, scoop or release, etc., and this can only be achieved by rotating the motor the way it should, and rotating the motor clockwise or counter clockwise is just a matter of reversing the polarity of its voltage source. So I decided to use relays to achieve the mechanism of my robot arm, I ended up with 8 pieces of 6 volts relays (+-1V which means 5 volts will make the relay work). But you can't actually hook that up to parallel ports rigth away, the parallel ports output voltage is just 3-4 volts, and sometimes 5 volts, you need to have a steady 5 volts to make the relay trigger, in order to have a steady 5V source for the relay you need to provide an external supply of 5V for it, but the problem is how will you be able to trigger the relays?Triggering the relay can be achieved using the transistors, in my project I used the 2N 4400 transistor, an NPN transistor, this is the only effective transistor I have been able to use, so I am quite confident with this transistor. With this transistors you can hook up now your parallel port outputs for triggering the relays and making the robot arm move. I haven't used any logic gates anymore since the logic is done by the computer already.
The Turing Programming Language
The programing language that I used was Turing Language, for ease of explanation I will just redirect you to the user manual, I think the user manual is the best fit to explain to you the syntax.Here's the link: User Manual.
Just look for the Parallelput and Parallelget function on the left side of the window, if incase you need some help feel free to ask, just leave a comment below.
Before you can use the Paralllelput and Parallelget functions you need to install the plugin, you need not to worry where to get it, it is already included in the download of the turing program, it's just that you need to manually install it for yourself, you can find it in the support folder and the file name is "dlportio_install", it's an executable file. After installing you need to restart your pc, although there is an issue that some operating systems might not allow you to interact with your parallel ports after installing the "dlportio_install", I was able to successfully communicate with my parallel port using the Windows NT operating system, but I think Windows XP will work fine too, I just do not know if it will work in Windows 7. Please feel free to share if it works on your operating systems.
You can download Turing Programming Language here: Turing Program.
Feel free to ask for help, just leave a comment, I might share the blueprint of the electronic circuit of the project.

Sun Broadband Wireless in Zamboanga City [Review]
Greetings of Peace,
Within these past few months I've been fed up with unstable internet connection from Smart Bro. We have been experiencing so many troubles with them already, and I can say I am one of their unsatisfied customers already. There was a week with no internet connection, then it was fixed, then another week comes with a slow internet connection, to the point that the webpage doesn't even appear because of slow connection. Then another days, where there is a connection but then it keeps on disconnecting from the internet access, every time I play Leauge of Legends I get disconnected, and then reconnected then disconnected, and it was useless. Then sun broadband wireless came to my mind, I visited their shop in Southway mall at 3rd floor, and I asked them if the internet connection of sun broadband is already available in Zamboanga City, then the employee said "Yes", but still I was in doubt about the strenght of the signal of the internet connection, so I reached home and started to google some reviews about sun broadband, as far as my googling brought me, all the feedback I read about sun broadband was positive, so it added to my relief in choosing sun broadband. So I went again to sun office and bought my sun broadband which cost 988 php, then the CSR (Customer Service Representative) showed me some of the things I need to know about my sun broadband. I reached home, and I am excited to try my sun broadband. So finally the testing starts, first thing that I did was to check it's speed and consistency, so I decided to stream a video in youtube and I was amazed by it's video streaming, it was quite fast and the speed is consistent, no buffering, then I opened up my facebook account while video streaming and still it was performing well. I conducted a speed test in speedtest.net to compare the speed of sun broadband and smart broadband. The results are as follows,
Smart Broadband
Sun Broadband
This Speed test is conducted on August 24, 2012 at around 3am GMT.
Notable among the differences are the download and upload speed,
Smart Broadband = 1.06|||0.26 Mb/s
Sun Broadband = 1.14|||0.33Mb/s
Therefore: Sun Broadband deserves the win.
Another one is the grade,
Smart Broadband = C- (Minus) Slower than 60% of PH
Sun Broadband = C (No Minus) Slower than 51% of PH
Therefore: Sun Broadband deserves the win.
Sun broadband's connection is on HSDPA. For me Sun Broadband is super fine for video streaming, internet surfing, and playing Online games.
But then this are based on my test and experience, the final decision is yours to make.

How to disable/delete some startup program on your computer
Greetings of peace,
One thing that slows down the startup process of computers are startup programs, they are loaded on to the computer's memory and takes too long to finish sometimes, making the user wait longer. What's worst is that you have a lot of startup programs and your computer is running on low resources, making you wait for too long, when you are in a hurry.
Let's try to define an easy solution to that.
I have written a blog post before about CCleaner, you might had read it before or not, but I have not included in that post how to control startup programs using CCleaner, now I will walk you through the process, and I will make it easy.
First you need to have CCleaner, if you have it already that's good but if you don't have it, you can download it at the download page, download page is just above this post. You might be worried about the price? No worries CCleaner is an opensource software, it's meant to be free, but if you want some powerful features you can opt to pay just like the Panda Cloud Antivirus (Click here to view Panda Cloud Antivirus), but the basic functions are for free and yet so powerful and helpful. After downloading you need to install it.
When you open CCleaner it'll look somewhat like this, if not then you need to update your CCleaner.
You need to go to Tools, just click the blue toolbox icon on the left side of the window, after that click on startup just right next to the toolbox icons, that's a little bit right side pixel away :).
Then you will be shown now the programs that run on your computer on startup. Now you can "Disable" it for a while, or "Delete" it. If you are worried you might bugged down your computer you can try to disable it first then restart your computer then observe what happens, then you can consider to delete some if you need to, but I suggest not to do delete, just disable them. :).
One thing that slows down the startup process of computers are startup programs, they are loaded on to the computer's memory and takes too long to finish sometimes, making the user wait longer. What's worst is that you have a lot of startup programs and your computer is running on low resources, making you wait for too long, when you are in a hurry.
Let's try to define an easy solution to that.
I have written a blog post before about CCleaner, you might had read it before or not, but I have not included in that post how to control startup programs using CCleaner, now I will walk you through the process, and I will make it easy.
First you need to have CCleaner, if you have it already that's good but if you don't have it, you can download it at the download page, download page is just above this post. You might be worried about the price? No worries CCleaner is an opensource software, it's meant to be free, but if you want some powerful features you can opt to pay just like the Panda Cloud Antivirus (Click here to view Panda Cloud Antivirus), but the basic functions are for free and yet so powerful and helpful. After downloading you need to install it.

Speccy from Piriform
Greetings of peace :), here's a new tool for you to see what inside of your computer.
Speccy is an application from Piriform that lets you see thoroughly the hardware components of your computer and the running services on your computer.
I have taken a screenshot of Speccy so that you can see it :).
I have taken a screenshot of Speccy so that you can see it :).
You have the information displayed there, your operating system, central processing unit, random access memory, motherboard, and many other.
One thing I like with Speccy is the temperature status, the one with the number and the Degree Celsius sign (C), it let's you know the current temperature reading of your hardware component, actually I figured it out that the unit can be change to Fahrenheit and also the language, you can change it in View>Option, then a small window will pop out :), just change whatever you want to.
The screenshot I have shot above is just the overview, there are a lot more to see about your computer on the left side of the Speccy window, from graphics, hard drive, audio, optical drives, peripherals and network, if you try to click that you will be presented with a much more detailed information about your computer, the next time your friends ask you the specification of your computer, you can answer them with the help of Speccy, with Speccy your friends will know that you aren't noob at all :).
One thing more is that you can do snapshot of your computer's specification then save, export to xml, and publish it, this will help you when you are having some problem with your computer, you can send your Speccy saved file or publish it to your friends or technical support representative to help them see your computer's needs. Here's a snapshot of it :).
What's best about Speccy is that it's free to download, but if you want some support from them you can opt to pay :). You can download it at Speccy.Piriform.Com
Here are some words from Piriform, why you need Speccy :).

"Why do I need Speccy?
At first glance, Speccy may seem like an application for system administrators and power users. It certainly is, but Speccy can also help normal users, in everyday computing life.
If you need to add more memory to your system, for example, you can check how many memory slots your computer has and what memory's already installed. Then you can go out and buy the right type of memory to add on or replace what you've already got.
If you're going to be selling your PC, you can use Speccy to quickly list out the components. Or, if you're buying a PC, you can use Speccy to check that the computer has what the label says it has.
Also, Speccy comes in handy for support. If you're on the phone with technical support and they want to know what video card you have installed, there's no need to hunt around Windows. Speccy has all the information on one easy-to-understand screen."

[DROPBOX TIP] How to send Large files on the web
Greeting of Peace to you humm'er.
Sending large file on the web can be free, there's a way you do not need to pay anything to host your large files and be able to send it to your recipient/s. If ever you want to send a large file to someone, use Dropbox service, it is free for regular members but if you want to expand the storage space you can opt to pay for it. With Dropbox what you need to do is just to paste the file/s on your Dropbox's Public folder then send the public link that is assigned by Dropbox to your file/s after the uploading process.
Here's how to do it step by step,
1. Register in Dropbox here.(If you want to expand your dropbox storage capacity just leave your referal link on the comment box and I will include it in this post, I had reached the maximum capacity already.)
2. Download then Install the software.
3. Copy the file you want to send.
4. Go to your Dropbox's Public folder on your local hard drive.
5. Paste your file in the Public folder, and wait for the upload to be done, you will know that the uploading process is done when the blue circling logo on the file you selected turn to a green checked one.
6. When the uploading process is done, right click your file, select "Dropbox" from the pop up menu, then select "Copy public link".
7. Now send the public link to your recipient via whatever means you have, whether it is through email, private message on Facebook/Twitter, etc..
Be aware, that the files availability depends upon "you", if you deleted that file in your Dropbox account, that file won't be available anymore for download. Be sure that if you are going to remove it, your recipient/s have it downloaded already, or else they will see a 404 error saying that the page could not be found.
Just to be sure, Audio files and Video files are not bound in this tutorial, the recipient won't be able to download it in this manner, instead you need to zip/rar/compress the Audio/Video files first before pasting it in the Public folder of your Dropbox folder in your local hard disk.

[Facebook Trick] How to share Audio Lectures/Music in Facebook
Greetings of peace.
In this post I want to share to you what I figured out in facebook.
I can actually share my music/audio files and be able to play it.
I'll show you how.
Here's how to do it.

First thing you need to do is to have a dropbox account,
Register me to dropbox!
It won't take much of your time registering, since I joined dropbox I never left it, trust me, these guys are cool and nice.
If you are curious about dropbox I'll show you a video tour about dropbox. Just do not forget to
Register in dropbox here.
After registering, you need to download and install their software for you to enjoy using their service, the software is for the sole purpose of syncing your files on your local folder to your online storage account in dropbox.
After installation you will notice that dropbox made a folder in you computer (but be sure you know where you set the dropbox folder's destination during the installation process.).
If in case you can't find it, do not panic, look at the dropbox icon on the right side of your start menu bar, just right click it and select "Open Dropbox folder", your dropbox folder should appear in a window.
After you know where your dropbox folder is, you will notice that the folders have a small green circle with a check sign, this means that all files inside the folder are correctly synced on your online storage account.
When you see a small blue circle having a circling return arrow sign it means that the Dropbox software is syncing your files to your online storage account in Dropbox.
Everything you put inside in these folders will be automatically synced in your online storage account in Dropbox (This is the reason why I love dropbox.), you don't need to monitor its uploading process, just drop the files and dropbox software will do the uploading stuff and you can continue with what you're doing, so just sit there and relax and do not worry about having your uploading process to be interrupted, even if the upload isn't done yet and you want to close your computer you do not need to worry about the uploading process, just go ahead shutdown your computer the upload will automatically resume the next time you turn on your computer until dropbox software finished uploading your files. Now isn't that cool?
Now for you to share your audio/music to facebook.
In your dropbox folder you will see a folder named "Public", just paste the audio/music into this folder, and wait for the upload process to finish.
Once it's done, you need to right click the audio/music you pasted on your "Public" folder and select "Dropbox" and then select "Copy public link".
Notice:
Before you start sharing your audio file in facebook, please be sure that the audio file is done uploading, if you have a slow internet connection, it might take a while or longer before you can start to share the audio file, if you start sharing the audio file while it is still not yet done uploading, the audio file that you shared on facebook will not play, instead the link will direct you to an error message of " Error (404) ".
Again, please be sure that the audio file is done uploading before sharing it to facebook.
Once copied, access your facebook account and on the facebook status tab, paste the public link and click post. Facebook will post the link to your audio/music file on your profile and news feeds of your friends, and when they click the link, they will be directed to a new page with the audio/music player of Dropbox. Same thing when you wanna share directly to your friend's timeline, just copy the public link and post it in their timeline.
But please observe rules and correct attitudes in sharing your files. Fear God so that we may be Successful.
Peace and Blessings of God be upon the Messengers of God and upon us all.
