Recently I have starting to use TiddlyWiki for my short notes I want to save and tag that I come across while surfing. The best thing about this wiki is that its very easy to edit and it can be carried anywhere. In fact whenever you come across any TiddlyWiki (online)then to save that wiki all you have to do it is right click on that wiki and select save as. The whole wiki is stored on your

Copylog has published a huge list of all the free file hosting services that do not require registration, with details of file size limit, download limit and file life.It, as the site says, is surely handy for reference.

I sometimes feel that the best part of being in the IT industry is constantly being able to face change. I like learning a lot , and IMHO I feel this industry gives the best opportunity regarding it. Theres so much to learn, share, write..I just like it.

Wondering where to go next on your vacation?The National Geographic’s 50 places of a lifetime list might help you.The site list those places that are worth to be visited. You can select from urban places, wild places, paradise found, country unbound and more. The list (50) seems to be good and if you plane to go to at least 1 place every year it will take 50 years total. Cut down the places to

What is it that makes you take the plunge in a new language/ framework?I have been learning/digging into various programming technologies. The more sites I visit the more diverse responses I feel.I recently got a chance to read Bruce Tate’s Beyond Java from Oreilly.From what I have gone through, the book explains how Java got its dominance in the world of OOP languages today and, of course, the

I have been quite busy in learning these two J2EE technologies.The most cumbersome thing I am finding with servlets is making your application thread safe.Anyways...I think more practise might help to overcome this.If you too are interested , have a look at pdf.coreservlets.com and roseindia.netI found them excellent for beginners.

I have started experimenting with Google Reader for my RSS needs. It is in beta, but I am little impressed with as it gives me a desktop application feel (though that’s what AJAX has advantage on). Also Ajaxmatters have come out with a new list of top ten AJAX applications part 2. You can view the list here.

Whats the first thing to do when a natural (calamity) disaster strikes?Obviously one wants to save all precious assets, be it the digital or physical documents. And if its a geek like me then one can understand the importance of the hard drive contents. New York times has a short article How to Prepare for One Really Quick Getaway .

Its really cool, with a small extension to Firefox you can have your yahoo mail ajax enabled. I have used it and found very useful as I get many messages that are just to be read and discarded ,not forwarded hence it proved quite easy. Overview:Adds AJAX support to the current Yahoo! mail and makes it a little more friendly. - Preview your messages without leaving your inbox. Adds a small arrow

Ever forgot your Nokia 6600 wallet code…don’t worry, there’s still a chance to recover it. Just type #7370925538# and bingo, there you go. The phone will now ask for a new wallet code,enter it and you are back on track.

Human hunger is never satisfied,I think.When child one doesn't know much about the outside world and wants nothing except love.As the growing continues,the surrounduing starts familiarsing and when he is able to undersrtand the world around he expects something more. At different ages of the life he thrives for different things. When in school he wishes a good bike to ride for.When in high

Today I stumbled upon Blinklist, another social bookmarking site, similar to del.icio.us, that lets you manage and share your favorite sites online. Although I have used Yahoo’s My Web and del.icio.us, I found Blinklist particularly interesting.There are a whole lot of such managers out there and theres even a comparison made between them if you are interested to know more about them.

Woops…Its almost a month since I posted my last blog. Its because I have been digging into AJAX and am quiet impressed with it. There are numerous posts/articles out there debating whether it’s hype or is it really worth looking at. Well, as far as my opinion is concerned I am quiet impressed with it. For me it sounds very promising , allowing to build feature rich web application. Just imagine

Firefox is the best browser I have seen to date and with the capability of add-ons such as extensions and themes which apart from changing the looks of the browser, also give new capabilities to it. I have used opera too, but didn't find it that impressive. Some sites that I visited didn't render properly in Opera (like Gamespot). IE, to me it seems that there always some or the other

Ever faced that question in java while programming..then Ray bao's Weblog at Jroller has a really good comparison of both which helps to decide which one to go for.In most cases, interface is easily to handle compared to abstract class which I haven't used much..but by seeing this post I think will have to now experiment more with the abstract class.

I greatly needed a software for automatic shutdown of my pc on certain time.Though there were many options available I finally settled for Switch Off. Its very good,free,small and does the job fine too.I am very happy with it and users who need only little functionality such as shutdown,logoff,standby etc should definitely give this software a try.Overview:Switch Off is a tiny easy-to-use

I have a ATI Radeon card and when its time to update the graphics card display driver, the approach recommended is to first uninstall the previous drivers and then continue with the setup of the new one.Though theres nothing wrong with this approach, sometimes I feel uncomfortable to restart the pc after uninstalling, then rebooting, then installing the new drivers and then again rebooting ,

GTAComplex is a very good site letting you access and modify various modules of this beautiful game.There are mods,trainers,saved games,videos and many more things regarding the game.This game has a very good online community too at GTA forums.
