IMDb ranking is very helpful when you are searching for a good movie. IMDb ranking is made by IMDb users, who can vote for each movie on scale 0 – 10 points. Sure, everybody can have different opinion on the quality of the movie and IMDb ranking can differ from yours. However, this is the average of global opinion which can influence you while choosing the good movie.
I have many movies stored at my external hard disk and I was curious, how they are rated by people around the world and which I can delete without any doubts.
Therefore, I created little .NET application which can do all this magic. Application IMDb rank your movies! can search for all movies in specified folder and assign theirs IMDb ranking.

Many people are using Youtube just for listening to the music without watching the video. I am doing this too sometimes 
Instead of using any online music streaming sites as grooveshark.com, spotify.com or last.fm, I watch the video and then keep it playing in the background while doing something else.
Me and many of Youtube users miss ‘Automatic song repeat ‘ button. Therefore, every time the video is finished, we have to click ‘Repeat again‘ button.
It’s annoying, so I found two simple solutions for this:
Change video URL according to next example:
Original: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uirFYDaMhYU
Updated: http://www.youtube.com/v/uirFYDaMhYU&loop=1
There are two changes:
- instead of ‘watch?v=‘ write ‘v/‘ . Do not modify video ID at the end
- add ‘&loop=1‘ at the end of URl
This can be easier for someone, because you are just clicking here.
- Add video to the new playlist (there is ‘Add to’ button under the video)
- New playlist panel will appear at the bottom of the page
- Click ‘Play‘ to play created playlist (there is only this one song)
- Click ‘Turn auto-play on’ to repeat video automatically

Recently, I added cool Facebook share/like/recommend button to my new web project. At first, everything went well. I followed official tutorial from Facebook developers page and the result was as expected:
I pressed Recommend button, then visit my Facebook profile and there was selected probably the worst image thumbnail from my page! WHAT !?? Facebook magic?
I started to check this issue with our friend, Google Search, where I found many tutorials about how to edit Facebook share post. It’s easy and we will get to it later in this post. However, the Facebook is using cache for all pages that are shared. So when you change Facebook share settings, it will be in effect many hours or day later (after Facebook cache will be flushed).
Therefore, I wrote down this simple tutorial about how to change Facebook share settings with immediate changes:
