Wallpapers are the first thing you would change when you are customizing your system but sometimes it is hard to find decent wallpapers that suit your taste but don’t worry I am going to provide you with many sites where you would find any kind of wallpaper you want, so here is the list:

1.  Social Wallpapering – This is my favorite, its a community based Website where users rate a wallpaper, if you like some wallpaper you rate it +1 if you don’t you can rate it -1

2. Socksoff

3. Interface Lift – this site is quite popular mainly because of their huge collection and they have wallpaper for any kind of screen size, for your cellphone too including Iphone

4. iunewind.com – the wallpapers here are very colorful and neatly designed

5. HdrWalls – HDR images are created by taking multiple shots exposed for the highlights, mid-tones and shadows separately and then merged into a single image. This process results in incredibly vivid images. These high quality photos are the only kind that you will find at HDRwalls.com

6. Foto Community

7. Wallpapr- a web 2.0 site which shows images from flickr , just select the number of images you want to see or alternatively type a keyword so it shows images related to that specific keyword

8. deviantART

9. N.Design Studio

10. Pixelgirl

11. Desktopography

12. Veer

13. Vlad Studio

14. Customize.org

Enjoy!

How to know your IP address and what to do with it

Posted by Saad Ibrahim 14 June, 2008 (0) Comment

When you connect to Internet you are given an IP address which basically is your Internet address, you can find out your IP address using these sites:

WhatismyIP – just visit the Website and it will show your IP address no more no less

WhatIsmyIPAddress – this also works the same way  but it shows your IP and proxy if it detects one

Finding your IP address can be very useful in these scenarios:

1. you want your geek friend to guide you using some remote desktop connection program on some specific software that you just can’t figure out how to use, so you give him the IP address and he puts that IP in his RDC program and connects to you

2. you want to play  any multiplayer games and want some other players to join, just create the server on your PC and tell them your IP address so that other players can join

3. you are using some anonymization  software and want to know if you are really browsing anonymously

4. just for fun :)
