Making disposable email addresses

In this episode, we show you your first killer Google trick , the ability to create disposable email addresses in Gmail. These are variations on your regular email address that you can use as email aliases when signing up for a website or newsletter. Once you're fed up, you can easily filter out mail sent to that alias.
-You can subtly alter your Gmail address so that you can sign up to a website or newsletter but always have the option of deleting it.
- Gmail doesn't recognize periods as characters, so you can add . anywhere in your Gmail address to create an alias.
- Mail sent to this address will arrive in your inbox, but can be filtered out whenever you want.

The Best Ways To Customize The Welcome Screen In Windows 7

Mass-license versions of Windows have long offered companies and large organizations the possibility to customize their log-in and welcome screens. It’s a small thing, but it imposes a sense of professionalism.

Logon Screen For Windows 7

Logon Screen is one of the simplest, most down to earth application to change your log-on and welcome screens. Or rather, to customize your log-on and welcome screens’ background. Simply use the Logon Screen application to select the desired image, and off you go. Images will be automatically resized to fit your welcome screen.

The most peculiar thing about Logon Screen is how well it integrates with Windows 7 itself. Most of these kind of applications are portable, but Logon Screen looks like it belongs; as if it was always a part of Windows 7.

Notably, Logon Screen will also install an extension for the right-click menu (as seen above). Changing your welcome screen will be just as easy as changing your desktop wallpaper, like it should be.

 

Windows 7 Logon Screen Tweaker

If you want to do more than just change your wallpaper, Windows 7 Logon Screen Tweaker is your best choice. It adds a batch of advanced features without ditching the user friendly interface. At any point, you can review what your log-in screen is going to look like.

Some of these “tools” allow you to change the button set, remove the Ease of Access button and change the default log-in sound. Windows 6 Logon Screen Tweaker will also remove the Windows branding and the shutdown button. If you’re prone to showing off (but are on a tight budget), you can change this Windows branding to make it seem you’re using a different OS version. Of course, this will not affect your Windows functionality.

Feel free to play around. If you mess something up, you can use Windows 7 Logon Screen Tweaker to restore everything to its original state.

 

Logon WorkShop

If we are going from simple to more advanced software alternatives, Logon WorkShop certainly fits the part. The main windows allows you to switch between different ‘logon skins’. You can export and import these profiles so you can easily apply them to different computers or even company-wide.

Of course, you can also create new skins. Logon Workshop offers the most customizability by far; you can change almost anything, including the background, look and position of the user picture, text, and every button on the screen. The screenshot below shows but one of the different configuration panels.

Undoubtedly, the interface will look too complicated and cluttered for many users, but you don’t need to use all this advanced functionality. If you want, you can just change the welcome screen background and be done with it. If you do decide to play a little with the application, and something goes south, just restore your computer to the default skin, or create a new one.

WWD Screencast: Toggl, a Time-Tracking App

I think the most important attributes of a time tracking app are that it should be incredibly simple to use and available everywhere. Fortunately, Toggl scores on both those counts. It’s very simple, although it has some powerful features, like tagging of tasks and collaboration with team members, that make it useful. It also has desktop clients available for Windows, Mac and Linux, and mobile apps for iPhone and Android, so you can track your time wherever you are. I made a quick screencast to show you how just fast and easy it is to use:

A basic Toggl account is free. Pro users get access to more features, including integration with other apps like Basecamp and tracking of billable hours. Pricing for Pro accounts ranges from $5 per month for a single user, up to $79 per month for 40 users.

Gmail Labs

Enable Labs features in Gmail
- Click on the Settings link in the top-right corner of your Gmail window.
- Click on the last tab titled Labs to see a listing of some of the things the Gmail team are working on and experimenting with.
Your account at a glance
Centered at the bottom of the Gmail window is a handy information pane. Here you can see:
- How much space your Gmail account is taking up and what percentage of your quota you're using
- Last account activity: This is a good way to make sure your account hasn't been compromised (i.e. someone else has your login and password). You'll see the IP address of the computer that last accessed your Gmail account along with how long ago it did so.
- Clicking on the Details link beside the Last account activity message gives a more detailed look at who's accessing your account. You can also see your own current IP address to see if it matches up with the activity log. You can check to see if you've forgotten to sign out of your account on another computer and if so, you can force that computer to sign out of the account.

7 Apps for Online Note-Taking – Say no to notepads

If you’re like most of us, you deal with piles of unstructured information every day: phone numbers, ideas for later consideration, snippets of information from the web, recipes, phone messages…the list is endless. For the web worker, moving this information into an online notebook can be an attractive proposition. Rather than tie yourself to one computer, or even one operating system, you can get at your notes from anywhere that has a web browser handy. Not surprisingly, there are a fair number of choices in this arena these days.

 

Google Notebook provides a relatively simple interface for storing snippets of text. You can have as many notebooks as you like; notebooks have sections; sections have notes. You can rearrange notes and comment on them, open up notebooks for editing by collaborators, and publish them on the web. There’s a FireFox extension that lets you clip text from a web page and store it in one of your notebooks as well. The best thing about Google Notebook is its integration with the rest of Google: you sign in with your Google account, and can export an entire notebook to Google Docs. But all in all, this is a pretty basic offering backed up by a big name.

mynoteIT is aimed at students. It requires you to organize your notes by classes (though you can name your classes anything you like, so there’s no reason that you couldn’t use GTD context names instead of course names), and entering a note is a relatively cumbersome process involving a rich text editor and more mouse clicks than most of the competition. mynoteIT includes a variety of other tools including a calendar for tracking assignments and group discussion functionality, but it’s probably too heavyweight if you just want some place to quickly jot notes.

Notefish, like many another Web 2.0 application, is still in beta. It lets you maintain a series of note pages, each of which can have many sections, each of which can have many color-coded notes. You can drag and drop notes around in 2D to rearrange them, edit them, and change their background color. There’s a browser extension to clip text and images from any page you’re viewing and stuff them in one of your Notefish pages. Notefish also lets you tag pages for easy searching. It’s simple to use and a bit more flexible than Google Notebook.

Notezz! is about as simple as you can possibly get in this space. You pick a username and password, and you get to maintain a list of notes. Each note has a title and text. You can view a list of titles, and you can add, edit, and delete notes. There are no browser extensions, fancy hierarchies, graphics, or any other frills here, just simple management for whatever you want to jot down and a single username and password to remember.

Stikkit is perfect for the developer who wants to tie their notes to other applications. Though you can treat it just as an attractive way to store yellow sticky notes online, there’s a whole sea of complexity lurking beneath that friendly surface. Stikkit understands dates and reminders and tagging and bookmarks and e-mail and sharing; it actually looks at the text of your notes and tries to act intelligently on them. There’s a whole API you can interact with as well. While the learning curve for Stikkit can be steep, if you’re the sort of user who digs applications like QuickSilver it’s worth a look.

Yahoo! Notepad is on the simple side. You get a single note-taking area, which you can organize one level deep with folders. Inside of folders you store notes, which are just plain text entered through an old-fashioned web form. On the plus side, this application should run on just about any browser anywhere; on the minus side, you won’t find any advanced features, not even browser extensions or tagging.

Zoho Notebook is the most visually complex and impressive of the bunch. If you’re familiar with Microsoft OneNote, you’ve seen the basic Zoho Notebook interface: you can have multiple notebooks, each with pages, each with sections, each with notes that you can drag and position on a 2D canvas. Pages can be entire web pages or Zoho’s own online spreadsheets or documents as well as notebook pages. If you’re working on a notebook page, you can add text or HTML or RSS feeds or audio or video clips or images, among other things. You get versioning and sharing and commenting and publishing as well as a Firefox extension that can clip text and images from any page and shoot it over to an open notebook. The service has just left beta, and I’ve seen some reports of pages not being properly saved (though I’ve not experienced any trouble in my own limited testing). For building up a rich notebook of varied content, Zoho Notebook is currently to one to beat.

Overall, which direction you go depends on how highly you weight various factors. My own recommendations: Google Notebook for dependability, Stikkit for integration, Zoho Notebook for flexibility, or Notezz! for simplicity.

12 Expert Google Search Tips

 

1. Explicit Phrase:
   Lets say you are looking for content about internet marketing.  Instead of just typing internet marketing into the Google search box, you will likely be better off searching explicitly for the phrase.  To do this, simply enclose the search phrase within double quotes.

   Example: "internet marketing"

2. Exclude Words:
   Lets say you want to search for content about internet marketing, but you want to exclude any results that contain the term advertising.  To do this, simply use the "-" sign in front of the word you want to exclude.

   Example Search: internet marketing -advertising

3. Site Specific Search:
   Often, you want to search a specific website for content that matches a certain phrase.  Even if the site doesn’t support a built-in search feature, you can use Google to search the site for your term. Simply use the "site:somesite.com" modifier.

   Example: "internet marketing" site:www.smallbusinesshub.com

4. Similar Words and Synonyms:
   Let’s say you are want to include a word in your search, but want to include results that contain similar words or synonyms.  To do this, use the "~" in front of the word.

   Example: "internet marketing" ~professional

5. Specific Document Types:
   If you’re looking to find results that are of a specific type, you can use the modifier "filetype:".  For example, you might want to find only PowerPoint presentations related to internet marketing.

   Example: "internet marketing" filetype:ppt

6. This OR That:
   By default, when you do a search, Google will include all the terms specified in the search.  If you are looking for any one of one or more terms to match, then you can use the OR operator.  (Note:  The OR has to be capitalized).

   Example: internet marketing OR advertising

7. Phone Listing:
   Let’s say someone calls you on your mobile number and you don’t know how it is.  If all you have is a phone number, you can look it up on Google using the phonebook feature.

   Example: phonebook:617-555-1212 (note:  the provided number does not work – you’ll have to use a real number to get any results).

8. Area Code Lookup:
   If all you need to do is to look-up the area code for a phone number, just enter the 3-digit area code and Google will tell you where it’s from.

   Example: 617

9. Numeric Ranges:
   This is a rarely used, but highly useful tip.  Let’s say you want to find results that contain any of a range of numbers.  You can do this by using the X..Y modifier (in case this is hard to read, what’s between the X and Y are two periods.  This type of search is useful for years (as shown below), prices or anywhere where you want to provide a series of numbers.

   Example: president 1940..1950

10. Stock (Ticker Symbol):
    Just enter a valid ticker symbol as your search term and Google will give you the current financials and a quick thumb-nail chart for the stock.

    Example: GOOG

11. Calculator:
    The next time you need to do a quick calculation, instead of bringing up the Calculator applet, you can just type your expression in to Google.

    Example: 48512 * 1.02

12. Word Definitions:
    If you need to quickly look up the definition of a word or phrase, simply use the "define:" command.

    Example: define:plethora

It is Important to take BACKUP

 

FBackup4.5 has a simple interface and guides you through the process of defining a backup job using a friendly wizard that asks you:

• Where do you want to store the backup (the destination).
• What do you want to backup (the sources).
• How do you want to run the backup (using full backup that zips the files, or mirror backup that doesn't zip them).
• When do you want to run the backup (you can schedule it to run automatically or run it manually).

Once a backup job is defined, you can run it manually by pressing the Backup button (or F6), or if you add a scheduler it will run automatically. FBackup can easily back up sources from local drives (including USB connected drives) to destinations such as USB/Firewire connected devices or mapped network locations. It creates either standard zip files (when using "full backup"), or exact copies of the original sources without any compression (using "mirror backup"). The best thing about this freeware backup software is that it protects your data for free.

Main Features

It’s free for personal and commercial purposes.
FBackup is a backup software free for both commercial and personal use. This means that you can save some money by not having to buy another backup program.

Automatic backups.
You define a backup job, set it to run automatically, and forget about it. FBackup will automatically run the backup at the scheduled date, so you have the benefits not only of having your data protected, but you'll also save precious time.

Backup with standard zip compression.
When using "full backup", the sources will be archived using standard zip compression. FBackup uses ZIP64 compression, which means that it can create zip files over 2GB in size. Also, you can password protect your backup zip files.

Exact copies of files.
If you don't want to have the files stored in one zip file, FBackup can make exact copies of the backup sources using "mirror backup". Since FBackup will also back up empty folders, you can use this backup type to create in the destination a "mirror" copy of the original files. So it's not only a file backup software.

Run actions before/after backup.
For each backup job, you can define an action to execute before or after the backup. For example, you can select "Clear backup" before the backup runs, so that all the previous backed up files will be cleared before loading the new ones. As an after-backup action, you can set it to stand by, log off, hibernate or even shut down the computer once the backup has successfully finished.

Easy to use.
The two main functions of a backup program are the backup and restore operations. FBackup makes them easy for you by offering friendly wizards. You start a new backup wizard, select "what," "where," "how," and "when" to backup, and the backup is ready to run. If you have to restore files, you'll open a restore wizard and it will ask you "where" you want the files to be restored.

Automatic updates.
FBackup automatically checks for updates weekly, so you'll know when a new version is released. The option to check for updates can be disabled, but we recommend that it is enabled so that FBackup will be up-to-date.

Multiple backup destinations. By default, your backups will be stored on the local Windows partition. To be sure you have a secure backup, we highly recommend you to store the backups on other destinations supported by FBackup (such as an external USB/Firewire drive, or on a mapped network drive). This way, if your computer suffers a hardware failure, you'll have your data safe on an external location.

Backup plugins.
You can load plugins for backing up or restoring specific program settings or other custom data (like game saves, email data, etc.). Once loaded in FBackup, these plugins will list the sources needed to be backed up for that particular program in "Predefined Backups." You can see a list of all the available backup plugins here: Free Backup Plugins.

Backup open files.
If a file is in use by another program at the time of the backup, FBackup will still be able to back up that file, because it uses the Volume Shadow Service that Windows provides. So, as long as you're using Windows XP, Windows Vista, Windows 2003 Server, Windows 2008 Server or Windows 7, FBackup will back up those open files. As an example, you will be able to back up your Outlook emails and settings without closing the program first.

Multi-language.
You can choose a language for the user interface from the languages currently supported. If you want to help us translate the website or its interface into another language, you can do so by visiting theLanguages page.

FBackup is a free data backup software, it is not recommended for full system backup (disk image backups).

Twitter ! What is on top……..

Twitter is a website, owned and operated by Twitter Inc., which offers a social networking and micro blogging  service, enabling its users to send and read other users' messages called tweets. Tweets are text-based posts of up to 140 characters displayed on the user's profile page. Tweets are publicly visible by default, however senders can restrict message delivery to their friends list. Users may subscribe to other author tweets—this is known as following and subscribers are known as followers. As of late 2009, users can follow lists of authors instead of just following individual authors.

All users can send and receive tweets via the Twitter website, compatible external applications (such as for smartphones), or by Short Message Service (SMS) available in certain countries. While the service is free, accessing it through SMS may incur phone service provider fees. The website is based in San Bruno, California near San Francisco (where the website was first based). Twitter also has servers and offices in San Antonio, Texas and Boston, Massachusetts.

Start synchronizing and have same data everywhere !

 

File synchronization (or 'syncing') in computing is the process of making sure that files in two or more locations are updated through certain rules.

In one-way file synchronization, also called mirroring, updated files are copied from a 'source' location to one or more 'target' locations, but no files are copied back to the source location. In two-way file synchronization, updated files are copied in both directions, usually with the purpose of keeping the two locations identical to each other. In this article, the term synchronization refers exclusively to two-way file synchronization.

File synchronization is commonly used for home backups on external hard drives or updating for transport on USB flash drives. The automatic process prevents copying already identical files and thus can save considerable time from a manual copy, also being faster and less error prone.^[1] However this suffers from the limitation that the synchronized files have to physically fit in the portable drive. Synchronization software that only keeps a list of files and the changed files circumvents this problem (e.g. the "snapshot" feature in Beyond Compare or the "package" feature in Synchronize It!). It is particularly useful for mobile workers, or others that work on multiple computers. It is possible to synchronize multiple locations by synchronizing them a pair at a time.

Make your Powerpoint Presentation Portable

 

Packaging your PowerPoint 2007 presentation to a CD makes your presentation ready to view on any computer. Often the available computer does not have PowerPoint 2007 installed. Packaging for CD includes the PowerPoint Viewer so that your presentation can be played on any computer, even those that do not have PowerPoint 2007 installed.

Package for CD is the name used to describe the procedure to make your presentation portable in PowerPoint versions 2003 and 2007. In PowerPoint 2000 and earlier versions it is known as Pack and Go, and the steps are slightly different.

Start the Package for CD Feature

1. Click on the Office button at the top left of the PowerPoint 2007 screen.
2. Select Publish > Package for CD

Use a Short Name for the CD
The Package for CD dialog box shows several options.

1. Name the CD with a short name. It is preferable to use no spaces in the name.
2. By default, the current presentation will be added to the CD package. However, at times you may have more than one presentation that is linked to this first presentation. You will need to add those other presentations to the file list for this CD package. Click the Add Files... button.

More Presentation Files

Locate the other presentation(s) on your computer. Once you click on those file names, they are added in the playlist.

• The added PowerPoint files will play in the order listed.
• To re-order the files in the list, use the up or down arrows.

Note - Other file types may also be added to this CD package. However, they will not play in the PowerPoint Viewer

Package for CD Options

The PowerPoint Viewer is a small add-in program that is included by default when you use the Package for CD feature. The PowerPoint Viewer allows your presentation to be played on any computer, even those that do not have PowerPoint 2007 installed.

From the drop down list of options under the Package type section, select how you want your presentation(s) to play, using the PowerPoint Viewer.

• Play all presentations automatically in the specified order.
  • This is the default selection. In the event that you have several presentations linked to play one after the other, this is the correct selection. You will be prompted for the order of the playlist.
• Play only the first presentation automatically.
  • No other presentations on the CD will play until the user intervenes.
• Let the user select which presentation to view.
  • The user will be prompted to choose a presentation from a list.
• Don't play the CD automatically.
  • The user will need to search the CD for the correct presentation and start it manually.

In most cases, you will leave the default selection as your choice.

More Package for CD Options

By default, the option for Linked files is checked. If there are any files, such as a chart created in Microsoft Excel, that have been linked to from your presentation, PowerPoint 2007 will also include these files when packaging for CD.

Be sure to check the box Embedded True Type fonts. Embedding true type fonts will ensure that all fonts you have used in your presentation will show properly on screen, even if the presenting computer does not have that font installed.

Note - Any True Type fonts used in your presentation that have a built-in copyright protection, cannot be packaged.

Create the Package

Although the feature is called Package for CD, that name is a little misleading. You are not limited to creating this package on a CD. You may choose to copy all the necessary files for this package to a folder on your computer or network. This folder can then be copied to a CD at a later time, or simply to a USB flash drive to transport your presentation and all the linked files to another computer for viewing.

Don't waste time in searching your file - Tag It !

tag2find helps you to find everything on your desktop by simply using tags. Directories & folders were the structure of the 20th century. Now it's time for something new - TAG IT!

Organize files your way

• Create your own world of information.
• Tag files to be easily and quickly accesible.
• Forget about the traditional structures.
• tag2find keeps track of files that are important for you.
• Save time when you look for specific information.
• Avoid problems to remember the specific structure of your desktop.

In many ways, this 'clipping' aspect is like Clipmarks, however, Diigo also integrates annotation and social bookmarking. Text which you bookmarked is underlined, and if you click on it, you can add a "sticky note" annotation. Query multiple search engines for selected text, or 'simply' bookmark a page, much like how you would in a social bookmark manager like del.icio.us.
