What is the best way to access and carry your data with you where ever you go?
REX 3 - PC Companion is the PCMCI card compatible with most notebooks can save almost all your contacts, calendar and To Do list. You have to type everything on a computer and transfer it to the Rex through a Docking Station (sold separately, required only for PC and not notebook) You can transfer any .csv or .tsv file as well. My experience of Palm was not very good. But the review of the REX has turned me on! Available at Fabmall.com for just Rs. 1500

I had never thought it's possible to drag and drop files from your local computer to the web server. I think it's supported only on Windows 2000. Goto the site
ftp://shantanuo@ftp.phenominet.net/
It will ask for the password. Once you have typed the password you can simply browse your server and drag and drop the files from your local computer to the web server.
There is so much I have learnt accidentally!

To sign into Yahoo! Mail for SMS, compose an SMS message on your mobile phone with these contents:
in Yahoo! ID password
For example, if your Yahoo! ID is chetan and your password is mypass379, your screen would look like this:
in chetan mypass379
Send the message to 8243. You'll receive a confirmation message on SMS that your sign-in was correct, or an error message if it was incorrect.
***
Once you have successfully signed in, send the command mail to 8243 to get the list of messages you have received. Now you can select a message to read from the list. You will receive the first 160 characters of the message.
***
If you want to send a message to a Yahoo! ID, the "@yahoo.com" is optional. For instance, to send a message to your friend whose Yahoo! ID is niraj saying "I'll see you later", your screen would look like this:
to niraj i'll see you later
Send the message to 8243.

The folks that brought you the massively popular file-sharing service Kazaa are getting into the voice-over-IP Net phone biz with Skype. Kazaa cofounders Janus Friis and Niklas Zennstrom have launched what they claim is the first Internet phone service to use peer-to-peer software. In just its first week, 60,000 people downloaded the free Skype
software. The controversial pair say their Skype will "have a similar disruptive impact" to Kazaa's, but for traditional telephone companies instead of record companies. The question now is how long it will take for telecom companies--especially those that provide high-speed Net access as well as telephone service--to take the action against P2P VoIP as the entertainment industry did against file sharing.

Google Labs has just rolled out Google Search by Location at
http://labs.google.com/location
As you might imagine, it allows you to search the Web based on location. The front page consists of two query boxes: a box for keywords and a box to provide an address, city and state, or zip. (Sorry, this appears to work only on the US at the moment.) The search result provides a map of where you're searching along with notations of where the search results are on the map.

Verisign, on Sep. 15, 03 added wildcard DNS records to all .com and .net domains - redirecting surfers who get lost on the Net to a search page, called Site Finder, run by the company. Those who type in non-existent addresses will be served up Site Finder, instead of an error message.
I tried typing the wrong spelling, and I got the following response.
We didn't find: "shantanuoakk.com"

Did You Mean ?
www.shantanuoak.com

Oh! wonderful, yes I did mean that. So now let me go the site. It's that simple.
VeriSign says, it's only providing a much-needed service that helps Web surfers rather than directing them to a dead-end 404 page.
Agreed!

Google-owned Web log-creation site Blogger is eliminating its paid version and folding premium

functions into its free service, bucking a trend toward making people pay for Web site extras.
A Google representative said the formerly paid services will be rolled out in the free version in

the next few days, but that syndication and posting by e-mail will take longer to offer.
It means, now there is no need of comparing various blog sites and tools. Blogger is offering EVERYTHING! Blogger revolution has finally arrived. Get into it!

How do you manage your files?
Yahoo! briefcase allows you free 30 MB diskspace to save your files. But you can't share your files with others and managing the Yahoo briefcase is not user friendly.
The another alternative is purchasing a server where you can upload your files and users can simply visit the directory where you have saved the files and click on it to download.
for eg. shantanuoak.com/download
This method is the simplest one but has a lot of disadvantages and limitations.
You need Advanced File Manager.
It will let your users upload/download files from your server. Features user accounts, user descriptions for files and upload dates.
