Downloader

Description

Orbit Downloader, leader of download manager revolution, is devoted to new generation web (web2.0) downloading, such as video/music/files from Myspace, YouTube, Imeem, Pandora, Rapidshare. And to make general downloading easier and faster.

Orbit Downloader is a free closed source software graphical download manager for the Microsoft Windows operating system. One of the main features of Orbit Downloader is its ability to grab and download embedded Flash Video files from sites like YouTube, Dailymotion, Metacafe etc.

Features of Orbit Downloader:
# Accelerate download speeds: Speed increases will vary, depending on the source(s) from which you are downloading, your internet registry settings, and the program settings.
# Pause and resume downloads: this feature can be a godsend when you are downloading a large file or downloading from an unreliable source (or both).
# Detects and downloads flash video: simply mousing over a flash video or flash file (FLV or SWF) will display a small download button for instant video downloads. Really cool, but the button can be a bit of a nuisance if you don’t want to use it (although you can dismiss it fairly easily)
# Detects and downloads streaming media: the Grab++ module will scan for anything that is being played in your browser, whether it is an audio, video, or flash, and autodetect the download link (only caveat: Grab++ has to be run before the media file is played). This is (a) unbelievably cool, and (b) reason enough for me to switch from Flashget, hitherto my favorite downloader, to Orbit Downloader. Will download WMV and RM streaming video.
# Can download from file upload sites such as Rapidshare: you will have to manually enter the security code that these sites requrire, but Orbit Downloader will automatically detect and download the URL. (Services mentioned in the documentation: Rapdishare, Megaupload, Yousendit, and SendSpace).
# Download scheduling: if you have a lot of files to download, you can use Orbit Downloader to grab all the URLs and download them at an appropriate time. I’ve never personally used this but I can imagine it can be useful if you have dialup or a slow connection.
ChangeLog

* * Improve uninstall process * * Fix: the bug which may cause Grab++ can not grab video with IE * * Fix: the bug caused download failure when URL contains space

A Little List of Tall Places

sometimes when i wear my fancy clothes i feel like a little tiny kid wearing his dad's suit and pretending he has a very important meeting that involves a briefcase. and sometimes i'm actually wearing my dad's suit. and it probably doesn't help that i do own two briefcases but one is actually a barbecue in disguise and the other is full of sock-puppet materials.

but i can tie and tie and that's pretty adulty.

and no matter the environment, i don't think i'll ever outgrow my childish love for skyscrapers. i can't get enough. i really can't. some of you have probably even gotten a text or five with words like, "i am totally on the 33rd floor of 345 california center: the third tallest building in san francisco. it's kind of a big deal." and most of you have not responded. but that's okay, i think i only took my phone out to look more serious about my business and to distract other business men from noticing my ridiculous grin and hop-scotchy step.

that's probably why i shelled out so much cash to eat at the carnelian room on the top of bank of america. a lot of people do-- but i was the only one there to have fun and not a business meeting.

i'm not even kidding. i put on my DEAD SERIOUS face during the elevator ride, but the minute those doors open i may as well be that dog in the commercial about those treats that aren't actually bacon but taste a lot like it.

on tuesday, my assistant manager returned from his whooping-cough and two-week absence-- which meant a lot less invoicing for me, and a whole lot more delivering. a whole lot more skyscrapers and elevators.

i visited 345 california center again-- four times actually-- and every time i took my cell phone out to steal a shot of the view, the elevator dinged that it was time for me to go back down. but it was still rad. the security guards know me and aren't threatened by my hair, and i got to talk about SERIOUS ADULT THINGS on the elevator-- things like why the price of tomatoes is sky-rocketing.


on my little list of tall places, i've now been to the top of not just 345 california, but the bank of america building, the 16th floor of 580 california, the 39th floor of the marriott marquis-- which made me feel like a total alcoholic supervillain, the fairmont's rooftop garden, the 23rd floor of the westin st. francis during a time i had too much money and made ridiculous purchases (like hotel rooms a block from my apartment) while intoxicated and online, and the roof of the hotel triton.

but it was taking a delivering to the 10th floor of the phelan building that reminded me how much i love climbing through these buildings. they're not always so formal and businessy. the phelan felt like someone had spat inner richmond shops into a historic flat-iron, and no one was thinking twice about it. there were offices dedicated to watch batteries next to tax return companies and diamond-buyers. nothing about the place made sense and it felt haunted.

i'm going to have to go back on my own time.

i've always been a fan of seeing what costume will get me into what building, and how high up said building i can travel-- but i had never put together the power of a print-package. and this job is re-birthing my insatiable and mostly unexplainable love of building-tops.

i do believe i'll to need to start an actual list-- a LIST even-- of buildings i'd like to top before i die or grow so increasingly claustrophobic that the concept of an elevator is just impossible. or go to jail trying.

my next goal is anywhere in the transamerica pyramid, or the top of 101 california (my favorite to look at.)

so, if any security guards, members of the press, or elevator technicians want to help, i could really use a hand.

or your costumes.

Am I the Only One?

Who thinks that Charlie Sheen is awesome? I hope that my eventual downward spiral is at least half as crazy as his.

Where Everybody Knows Your Name

i think it's important that we all stop for a moment to understand that the internet is a perfectly functioning digital utopia. in fact, it's quite possible that the bible and the qur'an and all the other scripts were really just describing the world wide web when they spoke of heaven and nirvana and groups of willing virgins. there are no enemies online-- hate does not exist. and your personal opinions are accepted with open minds and open hearts. bless the internet! every year that it continues to exist society witnesses a stronger bond, with more empathy for others and more clarity of what is true.

it's just a world wide web of Love and Affection.

and to think john allen predicted all of this way back in 1993! we should make him the president of the internet for all his wisdom.

via urlesque

i think someone might've had a few too many parental controls on their internet...

this is almost as good as dick rowe rejecting the beatles (1962) on account that "guitar music is on the way out."

i'm curious what it was john allen saw online back in 1993 that had him convinced the online community would find some strange form of peace and result in an ever-friendly digital world. i was still learning multiplication and cursive in 1993 (and still am now), so i have no knowledge of what the internet was like back then. but by 1997, i can promise you there was far too much racism, semen, and identity thefts for any of his theories to be near accurate.

shit, by the early 2000's, the acronym NSFW became so widely used that bigger websites were even trying to register it as a trademarked phrase. and searching "blue waffle" is definitely NSFW.

maybe his prediction just hasn't come true yet. he didn't give a date, after all. and some people are trying to make the internet a more peaceful world...

but, in the meantime, it's great that the internet-- mr. allen's dreamworld-- will now proceed to deface him with uncreative words on blogs, forums, and facebook walls.

i'm going to start right now by calling him a fucky fuck dum.

28 Days Later

february was a power month. so much action and chaos was crammed into such a tiny month it may as well have been one of those freeze-dried nasa dinners that look like toothpaste but have all the nutrients of a five-course meal. or the gum from charlie and the chocolate factory.

if you remember, PHASE I and II went as they normally do-- and i was making the paycheck of a high-class prostitute without any of the demeaning qualities. though i did apply to pop balloons with my butt on film at one point. then, PHASE III sort of turned things upside down. i had fun, but i started losing money with no clear sight of how things might change in time for february.

i had little time to do much beyond bitch at my illustration boss for exploiting my suffering days and paying me in pee-droplets. and, courtesy of all the support and votes i received for my [losing] t-shirt design, i think i drew more food than i ate. so hopefully you all enjoyed your "thank you" bagels.


karisma wrote to me that she'd realized my financial schemes did not include drug-dealing, or anything amazing, rather a very high tolerance for dealing with shit. that is both true and untrue. in a normal situation-- in every previous situation-- i would've made all my money back and more. the problem in this case was that i wasn't prepared like usual. generally, i'm expecting to be broke-- but the last two years of my life have been spent richly and without thought of ever being poor again. i sort of walked into that one.

but i will say this: you want to be stranded on an island with me. i'll complain way less than you. and i watched a shitload of the voyage of the mimi when i was young.

anyway, i started february with something under $2, no job, and especially messy hair. i remember even having to tighten my belt a notch-- and that's a horrible sign for a man with a 28" waist.

but, somewhere amongst failed interviews, i landed my second highest paying job. and that was against more odds than i have ever knowingly been against. my tuxedoed adventures at the concierge offices not only didn't ruin my shot at the position, but bettered them.

i'm actually still amazed by that.

also, despite what everyone was eager to promise, i have not lost my personal life or artistic me-time. i may be new to the job, and there may be plenty of time left for me to decide i hate what i do and it's destroyed my creative side once again. but, as of now, i spend about 19 hours a day being productive-- and didn't even missed a single blog post in february (assuming you count This is About Philosophy as a post.)

and for the first time ever, you all kept reading. and i want to thank you. the highest number of steady visitors i ever got was when i was fired from the concierge gig. the second highest is when i quit city sightseeing. and the third highest is when i wrote a letter to starbucks asking that they reconsider the mirror that forces you to watch yourself poop in their bathroom. never have my hits stayed so steadily high while i've been happy and employed. i even made $20 in ad clicks this month. so thank you for sticking around-- it certainly raises my faith a slice or two.

and, just before the end of the month, i landed a new [long-term/paid] illustration job. sure, it's another dating/love/romantic-stuff-i-do-not-understand sort of concept, but maybe my bitterified lonely self is exactly what makes drawing Love so much more intriguing. you know, like steven hawkings talking about the laws of physics while sitting in a wheel chair.

and i'm not going to argue with any of it if it's portfolio material and bank-worthy.

i have to say, whenever i get stuck on a particularly unanswerable interview question, i tend to find myself saying, "it's nothing coffee can't solve." and that sentence has never been more true.


at this time, you are welcome to place bets on how long i'll be able to work 10-hour days, write two posts a day, still get artwork done for myself and for two illustration jobs, while going out on weekends and adventuring before i completely collapse in a pool of blood, vomit, and-- naturally-- some poop.
