- Click on the 'followers' link which will show you all the list of followers.

- Identify the follower to block/delete. Click on it. Next to the name, you should see a 'Block this user' button.

Solution to no sound on youtube videos

This morning, I was unable to hear the sound in the youtube videos. There was no wrong with my audio driver, sound was on in the YouTube Video Player. What went wrong ? Couldn't think of anything that might have changed the things.

Did some Google and finally reinstalled my adobe flash player and it worked like a miracle ! Sound is back.

Uninstall adobe flash player
Restart your machine
Install latest adobe flash player

But there might be other reasons too for which you might lose the sound of youtube or such embedded players. e.g. problem with your sound driver, or you might have reduced the volume on YouTube Video Player ... etc

Blank page on blogger main page - blogger tip

Last day when I was posting a new entry on my bash scripting blog , I just got surprised when after publishing the post and navigating to the main page (from View Blog link) saw a blank page. I refreshed and its the same luck. Damn!! what I did.

I was a bit confused as the old posts were still listed on the sidebar, and there when I click on them. But in the main page, it was a blank page.

What I did ?

I just went to customized -> Posting -> Edit Posts tab and then edited the latest post and just did "Publish Post" without changing anything and this made my posts on homepage appear again.

Not sure if this trick helped me to get my main page again, or something happened just by luck. You can give a try ...

Beauty of mathematics - amazing calculations

Lets see some of the beautiful calculations:

1 x 8 + 1 = 9
12 x 8 + 2 = 98
123 x 8 + 3 = 987
1234 x 8 + 4 = 9876
12345 x 8 + 5 = 98765
123456 x 8 + 6 = 987654
1234567 x 8 + 7 = 9876543
12345678 x 8 + 8 = 98765432
123456789 x 8 + 9 = 987654321


1 x 9 + 2 = 11
12 x 9 + 3 = 111
123 x 9 + 4 = 1111
1234 x 9 + 5 = 11111
12345 x 9 + 6 = 111111
123456 x 9 + 7 = 1111111
1234567 x 9 + 8 = 11111111
12345678 x 9 + 9 = 111111111
123456789 x 9 +10 = 1111111111


9 x 9 + 7 = 88
98 x 9 + 6 = 888
987 x 9 + 5 = 8888
9876 x 9 + 4 = 88888
98765 x 9 + 3 = 888888
987654 x 9 + 2 = 8888888
9876543 x 9 + 1 = 88888888
98765432 x 9 + 0 = 888888888


1 x 1 = 1
11 x 11 = 121
111 x 111 = 12321
1111 x 1111 = 1234321
11111 x 11111 = 123454321
111111 x 111111 = 12345654321
1111111 x 1111111 = 1234567654321
11111111 x 11111111=123456787654321
