Prevent spam in your Gmail account

Are you worried about spam in your precious gmail account ?

If yes, then you would like to consider making aliases of your gmail id to use when you’re not sure whether you’re signing up for something safe or not.

It is a very simple task to provide an alias of your gmail id. Whenever you sign up on the internet on some site that you think may not be safe (or a site which might send you spam),all you have to do is give out the email address as

username+insertanythingyouwanthere@gmail.com

For example if your email id is james@gmail.com,you can provide james+21@gmail.com or james+test@gmail.com .You can put anything after the + and all email sent will still go to your gmail account.

In the event that you did give your email to a spammer and you start receiving spam, don’t worry! Just create a filter, and make everything that is sent to username+whateveryouputhere@gmail.com go to the trash. This way all the spam that you might get will automatically be deleted.

List of google operators

We use Google in our daily life routine don’t we? But we often do not find the content we require and this is because of our poor searching techniques.

Here I shall be enlightening my readers with some Google advanced search operators that would help them in using Google search more efficiently and in a fast manner

5 Best Replacements For Windows Notepad

There are many applications in Microsoft Windows that do not come up to my taste and I find them quite boring and dull. Unfortunately the default Windows Notepad is one of them. Though it is one very simple and easy-to-use text editor but still it has very limited functions and is not at all recommended for hardcore users.

5 Best Replacements For Windows Notepad

I have a compiled a list of the 10 best alternatives to your Windows Notepad. These softwares just behave like Notepad in terms of function but all of them have unique extra added features that make them quite elite to Windows Notepad.

1. ProNotepad 2
ProNotepad 2 has some quick tools and tabbed browsing/editing feature.

2. Notepad++
Notepad++ is a free open source text editor that features syntax highlighting, multi-document view and you can even drag and drop files.

3. Notepad 2
Notepad 2 is another substitute for the legendary Windows Notepad. It makes itself unique as it runs out of box without any installation and does not touch your system registry. It also has syntax highlighting.

4. Metapad
Metapad is a sweet Windows Notepad replacement that is small and fast. It has all the features of Microsoft Notepad plus some extra added features.

Convert youtube videos

Its been really long since I introduced any useful web 2.0 service to my readers. Usually I introduce only those web 2.0 services that bring new ideas and concepts but this time I have a web 2.0 site for you that redefines an original concept and brings a service for your benefit and ease.

Convert YouTube Videos Online To any Format

Vconvert brings an amazing web 2.0 service for everyone of us who is a big YouTube fan and likes downloading and watching stuff on YouTube. This service makes our YouTube lives more healthy and easy to manage. Obviously by now you would have got your hands on at least one of those softwares or online services that help you download YouTube videos. This new service works much similar to all those online services except that it also lets you convert YouTube videos online to any possible format.

Download YouTube Videos in .wmv .mov .mp4 etc Formats

This service is brilliant and very easy to use. It lets you convert your YouTube videos to 6 different formats before downloading them to your computer. This way you don’t have to waste your time using those stupid file converters and you can just convert and download videos online without any problem. The 6 different formats allowed are:

Windows (.wmv)
Mac (.mov)
iPod/PSP/iPhone (.mp4)
Mobile (.3gp)
Audio (.mp3)
Flash (.flv)

The audio conversion feature helps you extract audio from your YouTube videos and download it. This way you can consider YouTube as your free source of unlimited online audio music as it has virtually every music video hosted on it.

How To Use This Service

This is also one of those (which I call) Plug and Play online services in which all you need to do is enter the URL and they do the job for you. In this case all you need to enter is the URL of your YouTube Video and it will download the video to the server, convert it and make it available for you to download in your desired format (You may have to wait a minute or two)
I think this service will definitely spice up your YouTube experience. Don’t forget to try it out and share your comments and thoughts

Firefox tricks

You really don’t need to tweak your browser in case you are using Firefox because it is a browser which has been specially designed for optimized and fast browsing but if you can make it even a little more fast that would certainly be a treat for you. Likewise there is a trick to make Internet Explorer 6 fast too. Browsers are designed to work with fast connections but with this trick even dial-up users can experience fast and smooth browsing.

Optimize Firefox and IE Browsing Speed

I shall be teaching you two tricks which work separately on Firefox and Internet Explorer. It doesn’t require you to be some expert rather all you have to do is change some registry values and you are done. I have also included a video tutorial for those who want to see it step by step visually. This is perhaps one of the oldest tricks to optimize Firefox and IE but it still works great.

Trick to Increase Firefox Speed

• Open firefox and in the address bar write about:config and press enter


• Double click network.http.pipelining and set it to True


• Double click network.http.pipelining.maxrequests and set value to 10 from 4


• Right click and create a new string nglayout.initialpaint.delay and set its value to 0

You are done. Enjoy lightning fast Firefox browsing and now for IE.

Trick to Increase Internet Explorer Speed

• Go to Start –> Run and type regedit


• Select HKEY_CURRENT_USER –> Software –> Microsoft –> Windows –> Current Version –> Internet Settings


• Increase the values (DECIMAL) from default to a higher value e.g. 10

See the difference in speed of IE

Don’t forget to apply this tweak and share your thoughts if the magics work and don’t forget to bookmark this post too.

Use Gmail Space as a Hard Drive

Gmail is really famous among users of all the email clients available on the web and that is not because it has a cool interface rather it is famous for its reliability and huge space (3GB now thats something). Google doesn’t stop here and recently Google announced that users can now buy more online storage for Google services just by paying a little amount. So why not use this online storage space and use it externally (Probably as a network drive or one of your own computer hard drives).

Use Google Storage Space as Google Drive

Here I have some great little utilities (3 softwares and 2 web scripts) that you can try to use your Gmail account space as your external hard drive. You will be able to download (or should I say copy) attachments from your Gmail account to your computer just as you would do from a drive on your computer. You can also use this space to upload content direct from your computer and save it online in your Gmail account.

1. GMail Drive

GMail Drive is third party addon for Windows that lets you use your Gmail account space as an extra drive on your computer. It allows a user to access a virtual drive stored in a Gmail e-mail account by causing the contents of the Gmail account to appear as a new network share on the user’s workstation. In order to use this add-on, the user needs a Gmail e-mail account. The add-on enables the user to use the standard Windows desktop file copy and paste commands to transfer files to and from the Gmail account as if it was a drive on the user’s computer.

Download GMail Drive

2. GSpace

GSpace is a firefox extension that turns your 3GB of your Gmail account into free online storage. With Gspace you can manage unlimited Gmail accounts to store all type of files within its simple, user friendly interface. You can also listen your favourite stored music directly from your Gspace, view your collections of pictures and manage your Gdrive files as well.

Download GSpace

3. GmailFS

GmailFS or Gmail File System is a virtual file system developed by Richard Jones which allows users to mount and use their Gmail email account’s storage as a local disk drive. GmailFS is written for Linux, but Windows and Mac OS X ports do exist. Using GmailFS will provide the user with roughly three gigabytes of online storage. The speed of this filesystem is limited by the speed of the user’s Internet connection, and the upload/download speed of the Gmail server. Files can be any size, and are stored as (segmented) attachments.

Download GmailFS

4. G-Share

G-Share is a PHP script that allows you to share your gmail attachments in a webpage, it is a download center with files stored in your Gmail account. You need a MySQL database to store data such as download counters, visitors, etc

Download G-Share

5. PHP Gmail Drive

PhpGmailDrive, also known as PGD, is an open source software program written in PHP to share Gmail file attachments on the web. PGD is based on GmailFS, a Gmail attachment file system that uses email subjects for organization.
