Fireshot - An extension for Firefox and IE to Take Screen Shots

It is always a hectic job to take screenshot of a entire webpage when it is longer than the browser window. I found an extension for Internet Explorer called FireShot from the internet.

This plugin provides a set of editing and annotation tools, which let users quickly modify captures and insert text and graphical annotations. Such functionality will be especially useful for web designers, testers and content reviewers.

Screenshots can be saved to disk (PNG, GIF, JPEG, BMP), printed , copied to clipboard, e-mailed and sent to external editor for further processing.

Design Thieves Copied My Design

Lot of people copied my website design just like that. It is very sad to see our own design being used by others without any inputs from their side. We can have inspirations from others. But, not just copy & paste....

Check out some of those websites:
www.garryvalone.com
www.crabuildingandlandscape.com
www.jnsfamily.com

The funniest part is that most of the people are from the designing field.

My website's version 3 launches

Did a little modifications to the version 2. I tried to make my tagline "addicted to creativity" more prominent. Added my blog to the website.

I always had passion to green color. So, I thought of implementing it in my website too. My room is also painted in green color. :)

The Bulls Corner.com is Live !!!

The team BULLS was formed by a group of boys (including me) in 1994 when we were studying at Christ College (Located at Irinjalakuda, Kerala). Christ College has got a beautiful campus with full of trees. We always used to sit in a corner of that college campus. We named that place as BULLS CORNER.

Eventhough we studied together only for 2 years, we always tried to maintain our friendship. To make that relation stronger, we decided to make a website for our team. I took the responsibility to design the website. Eventhough we have to work on the content a little more, the website is up now!!
