Activating the pcCrafter Deluxe Hugbug Browser other pcc stuff

Activating the pcCrafter Deluxe Hugbug Browser other pcc stuff


First off...Happy New Year :)

I know I havent been writing much on my blog lately, but tonight for some reason, I was going over some older posts. And on one where I talked about pccrafter closing down back in 2012 - I read some of the "comments" posted in 2013 (Sorry about not reading through my blogs comments more often - last yr was a really busy one for me). Most of the comments had to do with either gals who had lost everything and hadnt had their clip art collections backed up and those who now were unable to "activate" their Deluxe Hugbug Browser.

I cant help anyone who lost all of their clip art, but I did write a post last year, giving anyone the codes now needed for activation of the Browser
http://chocolateonthekeyboard.blogspot.com/2013/04/just-more-info-for-former-pccrafter.html
Please note: I have installed and activated the Deluxe Browser on computers running Windows 7 and Windows 8 with no problems.

And here is the >>  post << where I provided links to a spreadsheet or word document with a listing of pccrafter creatables, scrapables, and cardables and the artists that created them.

I also updated a March 2013 post about former pccrafter artists who continue to sell downloadable clip art collections online:  http://chocolateonthekeyboard.blogspot.com/2013/03/former-pccrafter-artists-still-selling.html  -

artists that previously had been selling on DAISIE : Shelly Comiskey, Carolee Jones & Marie Cole are NOT currently selling Clip art online.

Joy Hall who had been selling clip art sets on Aimee Asher, is  NOT currently selling Clip art.

If at some point I find information about any of these artists or other past pccrafter artists, that they have resumed selling their wonderful clip art collections, I will be sure to let my readers know.

Other than those updates and information, Life for *me* is good.

Wishing you all a peaceful, memorable year ahead.

10 PRODUCTIVE WAYS TO USE YOUTUBE BEYOND THE REGULAR STUFF !

10 PRODUCTIVE WAYS TO USE YOUTUBE BEYOND THE REGULAR STUFF !


We watch YouTube almost every day. I mean, even if we didn’t want to there’d be some instances where we need to log in. I’m a bit apprehensive about using YouTube especially at work because most of the times, the things that pop up are NSFW. However, I’m a big fan of YouTube and these tools make sure that we don’t end up in the YouTube loop, but make things a little more useful, effective and fun for all of us.

1. Download Audio from any YouTube videos the easy way


So you like that new Gaga song and the video is out on YouTube, but you want it as a ringtone for your mobile, and you don’t want to go through the messy process of using a video editing program to rip off the music. What do you do ?Use this website, copy paste the URL of the video and let it rip off the music in mp3 format for you. Download it to your cellphone and you’re done. Easy as that.

2. Share particular parts of any YouTube video


Sometimes, we’re just interested only in a certain part of a video. Like 12-26th second of a 5 minute vide and while sharing the whole video is what most of us do, the person you’re sharing with might not watch the entire video or he might miss the part you want him to see. So what do you do ? Use Tubechop to select the particular time in the video, slice it up and share the URL is gives with your friends. When your friend clicks on the URL, they see only the selected part in that YouTube video.

3.  Add extra controls to YouTube videos other than the default buttons


If you’re a power YouTube user, you always wanted those extra controls like beyond the play and pause button. This Greasemonkey script will grant your wish. Its got a series of additional buttons for that seamless power user experience.

4. Get sing-along lyrics on any YouTube music video


This is a nifty utility for singers and music enthusiasts. What it does is, while your favourite music videos are being played on YouTube, it displays a small window next to it, that will search a database of lyrics and popup the right lyrics for that particular song, so you can sing along. Cool huh ? Download

5. Bookmark, Organize and Save YouTube Videos for later viewing


This is a standalone program for you to save, bookmark and share YouTube videos, much like a personal collection. You can search for videos, save them, bookmark them all from the application and open up for later viewing.

6. How not to show the “Related Videos” pane while watching a video


Many of us would’ve encountered the bad experience of other inappropriate videos popping up in the related videos section while watching an interesting video with our friends on YouTube. There is a simple trick that will keep the related videos from popping up.
In the URL of the original video, just add ‘&rel=0? to the end part and you’re done. Or if the parameter is at ‘&rel=1?, change it to ‘&rel=0?.

7. Play YouTube videos inside the browser, without clutter and in a playlist

Some people like to use YouTube like winamp sometimes, like while at work listening to a list of songs, side by side. And having your YouTube site open can be a bit annoying, especially when your boss is looking over your shoulders. But there is a solution. Grab this Firefox extension and it lets you add a little sidebar to the browser, where you can queue up an entire list of YouTube videos that will keep playing within the sidebar. Nice !

8. Watch YouTube videos on a slower Internet connection, without breaks


If you’re on a slower internet connection, then watching YouTube videos can be a pain. Frustration and more frustration. In fact, YouTube realizes that this could be a problem, and have alternate methods for you. YouTube has a Feather tool that lets you watch YouTube videos on slower connections. It doesn’t include those items that eat up bandwidth and make YouTube videos slower.

9. Upload more than one video in bulk to YouTube


So if you’re the type who have a lot of uploading to do on YouTube, things can get a bit out of hand. There is a lot of waiting to do for one video before you can do the next upload. So batch uploading is the only way out. And is there a tool that lets you do it ? Yes of course – YouTube Universal Uploader.

10.  Create ringtones from YouTube videos in one easy steps


Creating ringtones from YouTube videos never was so easy. All you got to do is copy paste the YouTube video URL, mark the portion where the song appears (or the whole video) and click create. The ringtone can be downloaded in various mobile audio formats. Check it out
