Replacing a laptop's internal 2.5" HDD with a 3.5" HDD

For the past few months, my laptop started freezing randomly. At first, I suspected the windows operating system. So I installed ubuntu to see if it really was a windows problem but I got the same problem in ubuntu. Just to make sure, I tried using the same hard disk on a differenet laptop and I got the same problem again. So I decided that the hard disk was the culprit.

Remapping keys in Linux Using Autokey

A few days back, the G and H keys on my laptop's keyboard stopped working. On windows I was using a program called AutoHotKey to remap those keys to other less often used keys like [ and ]. After installing a linux distribution called Lubuntu though, I found no way of doing it until I found a program called Autokey. There are other ways to remap keys in linux which we will look at in another post. In this post, I will show you how you can do it using Autokey.

How to install WhatsApp(Latest Version) on Nokia Asha 200


Note: This no longer works. Looks like WhatsApp has removed support for S40 phones.

WhatsApp is not officially supported by Nokia Asha 200 but it's supported by the next version in the Asha series i.e Nokia Asha 201 which is technically almost the same as Asha 200. Have you ever wished you could use WhatsApp on a Nokia 200 phone? Yes, you can!
There are many tutorials out there showing you how to install WhatsApp on this phone using an old version of WhatsApp setup files.
Although this tutorial includes how to install WhatsApp, which is no big deal, it emphasizes the method by which the latest version of WhatsApp installation files(.jad and .jar files) can be obtained from the official website of WhatsApp.
Do you want to give it a try?
A video tutorial is available at the end of this page.
