Sometimes you want to read online novels or fanfiction and it’s quite annoying to save the pages one by one, especially when there’s a lot. Thankfully though, there’s wget which would fetch the files for you. ;) Recently, I got hooked on to a Korean tv series which happens to be based on a […]
I know that I recently just said I use vlc for almost anything and everything. After the poll, however, I started using Audacious for music files and I’ve switched back to mplayer for watching videos. Why? Here are certain reasons why I’ve switched back to mplayer:
