While looking into the cache folder of Google Chrome Web browser, I found out that the file structure inside this folder looks a little familiar.
Similar to the cache of Mozilla/Firefox browsers, it has 3 data files, numbered from 1 to 3, when file number 1 is the smallest file, and the largest file is file number 3. It also has a cache map file, which numbered as ‘0’, and other files with hexadecimal numbers which contains the binary content of some cached files.

Here’s an example for the file structure in the cache folder of Chrome:

And here’s the cache folder of Firefox:

After looking more deeply into the cache folder of Chrome, I found out that the internal structures of the cache files are a little different from the structures of Firefox, but it still was very easy to figure out how to read these files, and you can see the result in my new ChromeCacheView utility.

While watching a video in Microsoft Web site, I accidently discovered that my WebVideoCap tool cannot capture the video.
I don’t remember that I received any complaint about this problem, but this is somewhat make sense – because Microsoft is probably one of very few Web sites that uses Silverlight to play a video.
After looking into it with a sniffer, I found out that Silverlight streams are very similar to MMS that WebVideoCap already supports, so with a very small change in the code, I managed to make it work.
In the bottom line, starting from version 1.33, WebVideoCap can also capture the Silverlight videos in Microsoft Web site.

Starting from version 1.50 of CurrPorts utility, there is a new option: “Display Port In Address”.
If you turn on this option, the local/remote addresses columns will also display the port number,in address:port format.

If you turn on this option, the port columns are not needed anymore, so you can go to ‘Column Settings’ and remove them.

Many users requested that Volumouse will display a simple “On Screen Display” indicator, like the one that appears when changing the volume in modern TV and monitors.

So here it comes… It’s very simple for now, but I’ll probably make it better in future versions:

If you want to use this feature, download the latest version of Volumouse, and in the ‘Indicator Type’ option, choose ‘On Screen Display’.
