I think the previous release of Reaper Mangos that is released 1 month ago can be considered as outdate, and … so i decided that perhaps a new Reaper Mangos release for WoW 2.3.3 version probably will be better although there’ll be new patch coming up from Blizzard (based from the Blizzard announcement displayed on WoW Launcher) … but well … even if there’s new patch you can always revert back to 2.3.3 or create two world of warcraft directory just in case you also play on official server ;)

Like the previous release this new Reaper Mangos 5472 include auction house bot to automatically populate your Auction House with random items, and also multithreading maps that probably useful especially to those who are using dual core processor, and of course also contains the latest available Scriptdev (297), and World Database from UDB and PSDB (UDB 343 and PSDB X9) or in other words dual database and finally i also include the previous Custom Vendors just in case someone use it :)

Previously i’ve wrote about using FFDShow with Winamp to improve your MP3 sound quality (or any other audio format as long as it is supported by FFDShow), but since that method have one drawback (you can’t edit the ID3 Tag of your audio file), i’ve decided to temporarily switch into using ASIO Output Plugin for Winamp by Otachan. (because it still gives you clearer sound although i still prefer the FFDShow output)

The reason for this temporary switch is … well because the current version of Winamp (5.52) when i wrote this, there’s a known bug that if you tag many files at once it’ll crash Winamp (as reported by other Winamp users) and constantly restarting Winamp to disable / re-enable winamp to use FFDShow after tagging some of my mp3 files really bothering me

Yesterday I just tested 3 free Desktop Search Tools (freeware not free trial) in order to make things easier for me to search for specific words located on many text files on my hard drive. But just in case you didn’t know what Desktop Search means, here are some descriptions about it taken from Wikipedia

Desktop search is the name for the field of search tools which search the contents of a user’s own computer files, rather than searching the Internet. These tools are designed to find information on the user’s PC, including web browser histories, e-mail archives, text documents, sound files, images and video.

Desktop search engines build and maintain an index database to achieve reasonable performance when searching several gigabytes of data. Indexing usually takes place when the computer is idle and most search applications can be set to suspend it if a portable computer is running on batteries, in order to save power.

In other words Desktop Search Tools basically is just the same as your own search engine with the exception it’s used to index files stored on your computer. And the index can grow larger depending on how many files the Desktop Tools indexed

And I guess that’s enough for the introduction part, now here goes the test results (I know that probably some of you don’t like to read long texts so I’ll just put the plus and minus of each program) but first as a note, that this is based on my personal preference after doing some test with these Desktop Search tools

So a week ago i just bought a new UPS named APC BR1500i because the previous UPS is dead (Prolink 1200VA) … well not actually death but since i couldn’t find on where to get a replacement battery for Prolink UPS and even if i could get one, there’s no way i could replace it by myself because only certified / qualified technical person who knows his way around electrical devices able replace it. Although i have to admit this APC BR1500i (i bought it for 272 USD) a lot more expensive compared to Prolink UPS 1200VA (around 80 USD) … and well i guess that’s enough for the intro

Since the situation here has been resolved (Thanks God, although it’s still raining here but well at least i hope there’ll be no floods again), i’ve decided to release another update for Reaper Mangos :D so to those who are wondering whether there’ll be another Mangos update for WoW 2.3.3 here is my answer ;) … and just like before this update contains Project Silvermoon Database and Unified Database so you can switch between them freely (and choose which database suit you best) ;) … other than that i also included several other custom patches (i’m not too sure whether it’s stable or not but i guess you can check it by yourself)
