Tip: Save Windows Activation Files Before Reinstall – Aviran’s Place

Nice tip from Aviran. I have read this before too but have never used it myself. But should work I think.

Slawesome!

I checked out Slawesome today. It’s cool for now and I am sure it will get much more better as time goes by. You can send email to people and record your voice along with it.

Nice idea, why hasn’t anybody tried this yet? Email providers are giving ample of space these days. I can see my Gmail inbox growing each minute! So why not have an email service where you can record your voice along with the email and the voice note either travels along with the email or the reciever gets a notification that there is a voice message attached to the email which can then be downloaded. Won’t that be cool? Communication at it’s best!

GeekDinner.com

Phillip emailed me a link to Mick Splatt’s blog post.. Just comes handy when I am arranging a geek dinner. It is a good idea Mick I have registered my own event as well ;). I think event organisers should get more control of managing their events, what do you think ?

Talking of Geek Dinner event, IT Pro Australia of which I am a member and mentor has listed our event on their events page as well. Thanks to Sibylle. They have an official launch coming soon, more about that in a separate post.

 

Microsoft Windows Vista

I am not sure how long ago Microsoft changed the home page of Windows Vista. But I like the new home page of Windows Vista, I can definately says it shows confidence, clarity and is connecting! (It has RSS feeds 🙂 ).

Daily Times – Site Edition

Nokia alone sold around 1 billion mobile phones this summer since it began producing devices in 1980s.

Munjal, when can we see Ojos (or whatever name you keep)? I am just getting impatient as I find it frustrating to dig a specific photo of a person from my little collection of photos. May be I can use your photo recognising service and than what I have to do is just search!

MemeFlow – Your GoTo Page&

Robert Scoble links me to yet another cool and simple service called MemeFlow. He He, I am also one of the founding members of this service (can I say that because I am 46th member of this site!).

OK, so to me it looks like a site where we can make quick list of bookmarks under various tags or blocks as Steve Lacey calls them. Why will I use the service if I use it? I will use it because it is not yet another web based aggregator like Google Home Page, Start.com, or even Netvibes. It is a service where I can quicky bookmark sites and take it anywhere I go.

Based on my browsing patterns in last few weeks, I can use this service to bookmark/sitemark  blogs and sites that I visit on regular basis under proper tags and can visit them from here. Steve did you have other uses of this site too? Please enlighten us. One other feature I will like to see on this is a webnote taking feature like we have on Netvibes, it really comes handy. Well if I use more I am sure I will be able to figure out more uses of this site.

OK, finally I finalised the venue for the October 7th Geek Dinner. More details about Geek dinner can be found here in my previous posts. The venue is in the city on Swanston Street. Below are the details:-

Gopal’s Vegeterian Restaurant
139 Swanston St
Melbourne
VIC, 3000
Australia

Ph: (03) 9650 1578
MAP

Time is 6:30 PM.

Sorry guys, if this is not what you like, but nobody gave me any better suggestions and I don’t know a lot about Melbourne City Restaurants.

But it should be fun. Let me know if you can come and as I said before, bring your geek friend along.

Microsoft on how it changes the way it builds the software. Nice article by Robert Guth.

Ollie’s Weblog » Blog Archive » Google Needs a Certification

Ah, here’s something to think about. Google can have a certification now. It’s becoming a really big platform that people need to specialise in using Google as well and one who can use Google at it’s best can get better rewards too.
