Google talk finally has offline messages !
i dont know why it took them so long for that
Just type to ur offline friends
they ill get at the next login.
similar to yahoo.
and with the advantage that this one will have it in ur mailbox too in hte chats section if u have enabled it.
I had lost some offlines of yahoo since i hadnt enabled hte archiving and messener crash/windows carash those occured sometimes durng hte startup of system.
its better coz they are archived in hte mailbox . safe and quiet.

This is where I had been all time
Where have I been all htese time ??
I was :
Planting Bomb at A !
Fire in the hole !
Enemy sighted !
yes i was on Counter strike !
CS - Cs1.6 - cz - cs:s - hamachi - all these had been the manthra these days.
I liked the new version of counter strike Coutner Strike: Source for its great graphics. But the gameplay has been a bit dull with hte bots. The bots appear to be rather weak and less competent when compared with the bots of the previous version. But to play it over lan is a different story, its a kind of no where to hide situation when the crate over which you take cover get broken into shreads by enemy fire and you get exposed.
The rolling of the oil barrels and hte bomb explosion has been fantastic. After all CS is made for LAN. And online too, yes if u have a very hifi new connection. if you have a 128kbps connection as wat i have better use your good old Coutner strike 1.6 or Condition zero, because the online performance of the Source is pretty pathetic when you have more than 2 players over a 128kbps connection.
The Firing accuracy has been updated and hence the guns are pretty sharp too. So More headsot and les time for every round. that makes hte game more tough. Real tough.
So I am still there and ill be ther for a long time.
Watch out the intruder dressed in Gurrella warfare
see you there.

Finally, something useful about Orkut
I had joined Orkut long time back, just because it was from Google.
You should always be in touch and updated with wat those guys do at Google. They are the current trend setters. No doubt about that.
But i never used it because i was not used to the community networks, i never believed in hi5 or somthing else. My view about them was always of spammers waiting to get a truckload of new email addresses.
It was later when someone else (sorry i wish i could name him/her , but for my memory :( )did some scrappy work, i rose to it. After that it was great fun. Lots of friends whom i knew, lots of them new .. strangers.. the forum stuff and everything.
it was so involving that i dint know i wasted one full week on it. And then I realised that I would waste my entire life there.
So I stopped: Paused, rather, it was later in short bursts that i visited Orkut.
Today something strange happened. One of my old friend came out of no where in my messenger window. we havnt met for last 9 yrs or so. She was lot of questions and thankfully i could answer most of them !
I went to her profile and added her as my fiend searched for her short friendslist and found another one !
The one i had lost a long before (11 yrs ago i suppose), my childhood friend, with whom i used to play in my schooldays and which i believed could have happened only though orkut. I always believed that i would get in touch with her once one day, honge kaamyaab ek din . My eyes had wandered everywhere when i was in Calcutta , everytime i went out, so that one day we will meet again.
Thanks to Orkut.
now i feel Nothing has been so useful to find lost buddies !
So happy today , a dream come true.

I saw this thru m.a.x's link in flickr.
It was amazed how it brings up hte result.

and it came out Orlando bloom and sania mirza .. !!

i guess it doesnt need any algorithms and combinations to make such results.
just random will be better. :)
Anyway its a good start. may be the family stuff works better.

Gtalk - Know where to hide ! ? ! ? !!
Google is known for making thigs easyand simple.
But one thing i have to say about hteir messenger.
Gtalk was designed for voice chat may be.
But with no hiding feature , you are absolutely in NOWHERE TO RUN - NOWHERE TO HIDE situation.
Just cant hide. Everytime u acces ur gmail, everyone knows you are online.
At times you really need to hide. the way out: logout of Gmail.
C'mon, talk about somthing practical !

Foxed at Box.net
Ugly ! Ugly ! really waste . useless...
I was cheated.
Box.net , Free sign up says you can store upto 1 gb free . heh.
The site looks glorious in a design that seems " more user friendly " as its a replica of Windows XP interface, and even better text boxes armed with beautiful images that are toggled on focus to get the real OS effect, Boy its great work.
heh !
. And they give you an applet seems a 3rd pary that supports drag and drop.What do you need more !
heh!
With beautiful looking folders (pre-cooked stuff available named Videos, Songs) , all you need to do is just login , click drang and drop (wait a few minutes for applet to load ) and just upload ..... so easy right ?
Splendid.
heh!
Wonder why i keep repeating the heh ???
I was eager to see the performance that i put a 35 mb file into the applet,which was waiting as a puppy for its Breakfast. And it came the applet java window that either they forgot to modify , or just couldnt due to some 3rd party license issue.
NO probs, i can manage with that, forget it... that seems no issue
I waited for long to get the file uploaded, may be my ISP porblem or my connection was slow. not their fault.
After 100% upload completion ,
it showed
You should register to premium account to upload larger files !
Why dont they show it first ? i lost my band width , will they pay for it ?
thank god i dint try 1 gb file . Is that mentioned anywhere before ?
Idiots. who ? me !
Never take ANYTHING by charm.

Get rid of Click to Activate this ActiveX control in Internet Explorer
Finally, some hope. But not a real solution.
Microsoft provides its patch to update a problem caused by its automatic update in April, which caused activeX controls and applets to be clicked on to activate it.
Due to this u need a click to activate ur menu in the website or the embedded media player.
To fix this MS has release a patch available at MIcrosoft webpage. And they mean to ask ur clients to download and install this, everytime they complain abt it. !
Wish u all the best.
Easy solution ! eh !
