Wednesday, June 9, 2010

Many times you need to attach something to your email but after writing the email body, you just forget to attach the file and hit the “Send” button. Fortunately Gmail has introduced a new attachment reminder feature that warns you if you have not attached anything to your email by using a smart and more convenient script that performs more accurately and smartly.
This smart Gmail feature understands if you really need to attach something to your email or not. If you have written anything related to attcahment in your email body, such as “find in the attachments”, “I have attached”, “I am attaching” or any similar lines, it will understand that you might have to attach something to your email. And now if you try to send the email without attaching anything, it will show you a dialog box like the below screenshot:

You can also use a greasemoney script that reminds you of the forgotten attachments

Open Multiple Yahoo Messenger Windows using Registry Tweak

Saturday, June 5, 2010


If you love to chat with your friends using Yahoo Messenger, you can simply download Yahoo Messenger and start chatting. But what if you have got two Yahoo Messenger user names and want to talk with your friends from two different user names at the same time? By default, Yahoo Messenger does not allow users to open more than one Yahoo Messenger windows at the same time, but we can do that by applying a simple tweak. This simple Yahoo Messenger tweak will help you in opening multiple Yahoo messenger windows at the same time and start using both of them.
Do note that this tweak will change the registry editor and hence I advise you to take proper backup before making any changes. This registry tweak will change the value of the number of Yahoo Messenger windows that be launched simultaneously.
Multiple Yahoo Messenger Tweak
Download the registry key, unzip it and then double click on it. If any confirmation window appears, click Apply to save the changes. This tweak works up to Yahoo Messenger 8.1 version.

Submitting your articles to various social bookmarking sites will get backlink juice along with traffic and influences Google PR for your blog. Well, you might have been doing proper SEO while writing articles, but SERP (Search Engine Ranking Point) depends on various other things such as site PR, backlinks, SEO depth of the article, outbound links and many more. Having more backlinks increases the trust factor of the search engines, resulting higher positing in search results. On the other hand you gettraffic from the social bookmarking sites itself and it helps you to increase your pagerank.
