I was reading an article on Read/WriteWeb about OpenID which aroused my curiosity. After an initial research about OpenID, I wanted to use my own domain name as the OpenID URL and was fortunate to find this by Simmon Willson. You need to just follow the instructions and add the Code in the header.php of your Theme. MyOpenID is a OpenID Server, which provides you the the Service. They even have an affiliate programme which will help you have people logon to your website using OpenID. I intend to submit my affiliate request for verification with them.
OpenID is gaining tremendous momentum as AOL , Microsoft and Digg announced their support recently.

Yaplet is a nice Ajax browser side application created by some Techie students. Yaplet allows you to chat with others that are viewing the same Web page.
There are three ways to activate chat on a website:
I am sure that most of you who use a computer have run into a file that you cannot delete [Cannot delete file: Access is denied, There has been a sharing violation,
The source or destination file may be in use,
The file is in use by another program or user, Make sure the disk is not full or write-protected and that the file is not currently in use.] Simply put you get the dialog box shown below or similar. This normally happens when there is a process that remains in the background and is still accessing the file you wish to delete. Sometimes you have to restart your computer in order to get rid of the file, other times you can't get rid of the file at all. There is a solution to this problem, Unlocker.
"Unlocker is an Windows Explorer extension allowing you with a simple right-click on a file or folder to get rid of error message such as error deleting file or folder, cannot delete folder: it's being used by another person or program."
Comments/suggestions are welcome. :)

This would be good news to a whole lotta people who store a lot of data online, like me :)

Google has removed the invite-only part of Gmail, after almost 3 years (it launched April 2004). The 'beta' tag is still there though!
Check this out.. These are real civil engineering wonders!!
"Dancing House"
Two talented architects from the Czech Republic and Canada designed The Dancing House in the early 90's, which soon became one of the most talked about buildings in Prague. It featured a structure that seemed to melt during a hot summers day, and is habited by multinational firms and a French restaurant.
"Robot Building"
The great Bank of Asia is a famous building in Bangkok which was built back in the mid 80's. Its robotic appearance symbolizes banking in the modernize world, and has the ability to transform into a spectacular robot. So, if Godzilla ever decided to show his green face in the land of Bangkok, they would have to fight to the death!
"Ripley's Building"
If you saw this building for the first time you probably thought it was hit by lighting. But it wasn't. So in true fashion of the Ripley Legacy, it was built to reflect the odd 1812 earthquake that measured 8.0 on the rickter scale. The building has now become one of the most photographed in the world because of it.
"The Wilson Hall"
This modern-day building was built between 1971 and 1974. Its unique design gave the Wilson Hall a great sense of architecture, and a prominent landmark for the skyline. The building provides big laboratories, hundreds of offices and support space for over 1,500 scientists. It also houses experiments that deal in Dark Matter.
"135 Degree Angle"
This bizarre house doesn't have an official name, but it does have a 135 degree angle. So that's what we're going to call it. Unfortunately, the only information we have on the house is that it was built by Japan. And that it has a silly pink roof in which, if you look real close, you'll notice that there's someone living inside the damn thing.
"Hotel Sofitel"
The traditional temples in Japan inspired this hotel's unique design. The Tokyo Sofitel has over 72 rooms, 11 suites with 3 non-smoking floors and 5 meeting rooms that include super high-tech boardrooms that would make Spock proud. But please realize that you have to sell your soul in order to step foot inside this beautiful hotel.
"Triangle Building"
We wonder what type of work goes on inside a strange building like this. The unofficial Triangle Building is a wonder to look at and to ponder over. But can this be one of the many evil offices for Scientologists or those Starbuck-ists? Does this building have triangle bathrooms or stairs? There's so many damn questions!
"The Astra Haus"
This strange building is an actual brewery in Hamburg, Germany, in which the floors could move up and down on its skinny column core. Unfortunately, they destroyed this unique building after a big refreshment corporation bought one of its more famous beer brands. The building soon turned into a large parking lot for that company.
"Upside Downer"
Take a journey into the unknown with a building called WonderWorks. It's central Florida’s only upside down attraction, and an amusement park for your mind. This odd building has over 100 wacky interactive displays for your entire family to experience. But make sure to free your mind before coming, or it will explode.
"Crooked House"
You know that your looking at a real building right? The Crooked House, built in 2004, is an addition to a popular shopping center, and is a major tourist attraction in Sopot, Poland. We just wonder what happens when someone, who's under a controlled substance, sees this building for the first time in their lives.

Here's what you need to do to make Google go crazy (this supposedly works for other websites too, though I only got it to work with Google):
1. Go to Google.com
2. Remove everything from the address bar, then copy & paste the following into it:
javascript:R=0; x1=.1; y1=.05; x2=.25; y2=.24; x3=1.6; y3=.24; x4=300; y4=200; x5=300; y5=200; DI=document.images; DIL=DI.length; function A(){for(i=0; i-DIL; i++){DIS=DI[ i ].style; DIS.position='absolute'; DIS.left=Math.sin(R*x1+i*x2+x3)*x4+x5; DIS.top=Math.cos(R*y1+i*y2+y3)*y4+y5}R++}setInterval('A()',5); void(0);
3. Hit enter. Enjoy.
There are plenty of software which lock your folders, some are free, other costs a lot of money. Why you’ll waste time and money when you could do it with your notepad.
* Consider you want to lock a folder named PICS in your D:\, whose path is D:\PICS
* Now open the Notepad and type the following
ren pics pics.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D}
* Where pics is your folder name. Save the text file as loc.bat in the same drive.
* Open another new notepad text file and type the following
ren pics.{21EC2020-3AEA-1069-A2DD-08002B30309D} pics
* Save the text file as key.bat in the same drive.
Usage:
* To lock the pics folder, simply click the loc.bat and it will transform into control panel icon which is inaccessible.
* To unlock the folder click the key.bat file. Thus the folder will be unlocked and the contents are accessible.
That’s all!
Even the hardcore Firefox users like me need to use Internet Explorer once in a while. There are two reasons for that:
1. Sometimes you need to perform cross-browser testing to make sure that your website is being displayed correctly in both browsers
2. Certain sites, like the Microsoft Windows Update homepage, require the user to be using Internet Explorer
3. MS Sharepoint is not compatible with Firefox.
In order to avoid having to switch between browsers you can use a Firefox extension called IE View. The extension allow the user to load pages under Internet Explorer with a single right-click, and it also makes possible to make some sites load under IE by default.
Only this time, it is a woman. Esther Reed seems to have impersonated quite a lot of ppl, registered at Harvard and Columbia and so on.. Read more here...
When you give your email address to a website, you hope that they don't sell or trade your address to a bunch of spammers. Well if they do, here is a simple way to see what sites are responsible for what particular piece of email. This requires you have a Gmail account.
If your Gmail login name was username@gmail.com and you went to samplesite.com to fill out a registration form, instead of just entering username@gmail.com as your email, enter it as username+samplesitecom@gmail.com instead. When Gmail sees a "+" in an email address, it uses all the characters to the left of the plus sign to know who to send it to. In this example it would still send it to username@gmail.com.
Now whats cool is if you search Gmail for username+samplesitecom, you will see all massages that were sent to that email address.
To see who is responsible for sending a specific message click the Show Details link and you will see the complete address.
Tim Blixseth, timber and real estate baron has just upped the ante. He is planning to build and sell a 53,000-square-foot stone and wood mansion at the Yellowstone Club, the members-only, Blixseth-developed residential ski and golf resort near Bozeman, Mont.
Price tag: $155 million. Woho!

10. Bic ad:
Apparently located in England. However, this is the only one of the ten that I can’t independantly confirm as being real (if you’ve seen it, let me know where). Picture via
9. Moving and storage ad:
I saw a few of these in New York last time I was there. At the time, I thought it would have been much funnier if the adjacent billboard read: “Why store your doll collection? There’s plenty of freaky people on eBay!” Picture via Billboardom
8. Max Factor mascara:
This cool billboard changes from an attractive model to a make-up nightmare when it rains. Not sure how this is supposed to help sell more mascara though. Picture via Frederik Samuel
7. Sign from God:
Funny and a clever play on words - definitely more amusing than the other dozen or so “Billboards from God” dotting our highways. Picture via
6. Ikea - The page cannot be displayed:
This electronic billboard was supposed to be showing a real advertisement, but it looks like Microsoft Windows pooped out. While almost certainly not intentional, something tells me this would make a great ad for a Microsoft competitor. Picture via
5. Gain - Irresistible Scent:
3d billboard ads are popping up everywhere, particularly in big cities. This is one of my favorites, probably because it’s the first laundry detergent ad that was both effective and made me laugh. Picture via
4. Ford Mustang Blurred Motion:
This simple Ford Mustang billboard isn’t painted - it was actually created using a special type of semi-transparent material that blurs the scene behind it to make it look like you’re moving really fast, regardless of weather. Picture via Ian Hart
3. Nike 10k in Buenos Aires, Argentina
Another new trend is interactive billboards. In this ground level billboard, passersby can walk or run on the enclosed treadmill. For every kilometer run, Nike will donate a certain amount to UNICEF. Picture via Briefblog
2. Massive 3d Adidas goalkeeper:
To make sure they weren’t upstaged by Nike or other rivals, Adidas constructed this massive 3d advertisement at the Munich airport for the 2006 World Cup. Defining this as a billboard may be a stretch, but it was too cool not to include. Picture via
1. Summer 2006 Cartoon Network:
You can tell a lot about a person by looking at their shoes, and likewise, by looking at their credit card's first digit. This represents the Major Industry Identifier, which is to say, the type of institution that issued the card. Here's the breakdown.
1,2: Airlines
3: Travel/Entertainment
4,5: Banking/Financial
6: Merchandising/Financial
7: Petroleum
8: Telecommunications
0,9: Other
Changed the template, layout and shifted to the new blogger after some amount of self persuasion... :)
