Gmail has your back

admin — Sat, 08 May 2010 16:46:00 +0000

Gmail gets better and better, you can feel safe knowing that Gmail has your back; I was surprised while I was writing an email and when hitting “Send” a warning came up telling me that I mentioned in the email about an attachment but nothing is attached And gave me the option to stop the sending in case I have to attach some files and I forgot. How cool is that ?!

This is a very common mistake that people do, if you write many emails it must have happen to you few times, you are saying that you attached some files but you forgot to attach them Or on the other hand you might not be very happy to get an email with missing attachments.

Here is a screen of this feature:

admin — Sat, 14 Feb 2009 00:15:47 +0000

On 13 February 2009 (Friday) at 23:31:30 GMT the Unix date will be showing exactly: 1234567890.

For the ones that are not familiar with servers… the date on Unix/Linux machines is stored as a number that represents the number of seconds since 1960, on 13 February this number will be 1234567890. This Unix timestamp format is the most common way of storing an accurate date on servers, developers are more familiar with this, because users see the dates formatted in a more user friendly manner like "13 February, 23:31" rather than "1234567890".

I bought this phone at the beginning of April 2008. My intention was to use this phone solely for home use since I have broadband at home. So far I have been satisfied. But not totally! Here’s my review after using it for about three weeks.

I have connected to an unsecured, WEP, and WPA2-PSK access points.
Yes, it does take some time to connect from 5 - 20 mins. Frustrating at times. At home it takes about ten minutes. The best thing to do is fully charge the phone and then turn it on. I have a DLINK DIR-625 router and use WPA2-PSK encryption.
