Place Marker

In Microsoft Word, if you've lost the place where you last made an edit change, Shift+F5 returns you to that point. Subsequent Shift+F5 key combinations will toggle through the last three edit locations.

World of Ends

We can end the tragedy of Repetitive Mistake Syndrome in our lifetimes — and save a few trillion dollars’ worth of dumb decisions — if we can just remember one simple fact: the Net is a world of ends. You're at one end, and everybody and everything else are at the other ends.

Windows XP Tips

  • To place a program icon on the Windows XP Start Menu just below Internet Explorer and your email client, right-click it in the Start Menu and choose Pin To Start Menu. It's permanent in its placement, that is, until you again right click on it and choose the Unpin option.
  • To restore My Computer icon, just right click on a blank space of the desktop and choose Properties|Desktop|Customize Desktop and select to have all, some, or none of the icons listed there displayed on your desktop like the good old days.

web page filing cabinet

Furl is a new web browsing tool that lets you save and organize thousands of useful web pages (you know, the ones you want to save for future reference but then can never find again) in a personal "web page filing cabinet".
Once saved, you can effortlessly find any page again later using a powerful full text search tool. With Furl you can forget trying to save and organize dozens of bookmarks, forget saving web pages to your desktop, in fact forget everything except how to find a useful web page again next time you need it.

Mozilla Firebird

Mozilla Firebird is a free, open-source web browser for Windows. It is small, fast and easy to use, and offers many advantages over other web browsers, such as the tabbed browsing and the ability to block pop-up windows.
http://mozilla.org/products/firebird/

  • Integrated Google Search: You can type any word in the address bar and it will be searched on google.
  • Speed: FireBird is faster than IE because it will display a partially loaded page whilst IE won't.
  • Tabbed Browsing: Save a set of frequently visited sites and open all of them when you start your browser!
  • Block Popup: No need of installing IE 6.0 + Google toolbar to stop annoying pop ups.
  • Print: You can now set header, footer, page orientation (Landscape/ portrait), shrink to fit page width option, check print preview and more.
  • RSS Reader: Supports In-built RSS reader so you don't need one more software.

I think...

If a task takes more than 3 or 4 clicks to accomplish, then the task is not worth computing. Not Vice Versa. Or may be you are not worth the both.

Watching Me Without Me

Use one of the Google hacks.
You can also exclude certian domains from your search. For e.g. when I search for Shantanu Oak, I don't want to see results from shantanuoak.com!

Search Sinker

Google's query limit is ten words. You can search for "Shantanu Oak India". But you can emphasize that you are looking for India related search results by typing "Shantanu Oak India India India" (Word India 8 times). Its not shouting. It's sinker search!

Believe it or not!

Importance of User Interface:-
I recently revisited the livejournal website and suddenly found it very interesting. Community, friends, FOF (Friends of Friends) so many useful features to be used. Those are totally lacking in my blogger account because it's not community oriented. The stats show that I am a member of LiveJournal since Feb 2001!!
What was the reason I did not used it for the last 3 years?
I myself don't believe the answer. But I think it's the only reason. The User Interface (or page layout), at that time was not intuitive or cool! The default journal entries page still have no links to very important features like login, search, subscribe RSS, about me, etc. You see all these links only if you are logged in and go to the profile page of a user.
Here is how the old design used to look like.

And here is the new, decent design.

This fact has raised a question: is the design really so important?
The answer is YES. Microsoft, with the help of user friendly design, gained the market share which was dominated by DOS and other UNIX like clones of operating systems which were (And still are) better than Windows.
I bought a http://quickbase.com account. I recommended the http://cgiscriptshop.com to everyone who were using Mysql. The reason? Simply better design (and not necessarily more functions or features).
