Spell Checker




This is a program which takes a word as input and gives possible suggestions to correct the spelling of the word, by searching them from the dictionary of words(a text file Dictionary.txt).

Karabiner: Mouse/keyboard customizer for OS X

For beginners, or the one who migrated from Windows environment, Natural Gestures (Scrolling and Swiping) might be bit confusing. But, once you get familiarized with them, it may feel like "What was I doing, all those days?". It all changed, when I connected external mouse to my Macbook. When you start using that WHEEL, you will be confused. Luckily there is a setting for mouse, to change scroll behavior (natural or the other way). But, here's the catch. If you toggle that setting, it also toggles the same for TRACKPAD!!!!! I've seen that many people were freaked out and even raised BUG report to Apple. But, all those reports were closed, saying that is not a bug, but intentional feature!!! For those, who can't leave with such one-sided settings, here is a simple util, which came to my rescue: Karabiner It's simple, powerful and stable mouse/keyboard customizer for OSX. Without going into much detail, here's the configuration I used to ret...

USB port not working on Mac

Recently I connected  an external hard-disk   to my new MacBook and observed that it was not properly detected on one of the USB ports. But I can see that it is powering my HDD. I tried switching to other port and it worked. I simply ignored it by thinking that my HDD cable might be loose. Now I bought a new USB drive and to get it detected, I have to insert and detach it multiple times. And as usual, I suspected the new USB drive, as my Mac is brand new. And planned to replace my USB drive. Now my HDD came back to   my mind. And also my earlier laptop, in which few KEYS went unresponsive due to accumulated charges. By little researching I found that I'm not alone. The solution that worked for me was "Resetting SMC" Here is the procedure I followed: Shut down the Mac and connect the power cable Hold down Shift+Control+Option+Power concurrently for a few seconds. When the light on the power adapter blinks or changes colors you’ll know SMC r...

Nexus 5 : IMEI 0 issue

Sometime back, an update (believe me, an OTA update) blocked all network calls on my mobile. After struggling for a while, I came to know that IMEI of my phone was set to 0. Tried many solutions (resetting the phone, clearing cache, even installing fresh OS), but none came to my rescue. Thanks to a guy (sorry for not crediting), who uploaded instructions in Russian language, and with the help of Google Translate, my phone is up and running again. Note: Before proceeding any further, keep in mind that you need IMEI of your phone (check on back panel) Download related files from here . Here is the procedure that I've followed: Install the LG driver LG Install QPST Copy the entire folder EFS Professional to C drive Unpack the archive Nexus5 the root of drive C. Using WUG Nexus toolkit: Make sure running stock Android 5.0.1 Rooted If necessary, you can reset the IMEI using backups zero IMEI from the archive. To do this, simply make a backup of your EFS in TWRP, t...
