GMail reaches 4GB now

This is amazing. GMail was started with a 2GB email service, which was increasing as indicated day by day. And now, it has reached 4GB and I haven't got an email yet, regarding this update. Ridiculous !!!

This is another great achievement after Microsoft's Windows Live Hotmail had increased its per mail storage to 2GB recently. Even, another Indian mail provider company Rediffmail had increased to an unlimited storage.
Anyway, whatever sizes the other providers offer, Gmail and all other services associated with Gmail and Google users are knew no bound. This is a big leap and one of the best free services ever in the cyberspace.

Me, A Cat and Its SHIT on my BED

I was aware of such situations never before. Despite of a full day busy schedule, it happened today.

I was alone in my room. So, I came late tonight at around 8:30 after having my dinner somewhere else. All was fine until I found the packet of Gudpak (गुँदपाक) which I was supposed to take home the following day, was already tasted by a pussy (not PuSi).

This was also somehow tolerable. But, I just found myself insane, when I saw the SHIT of the cat on my bed, right along my pillow. Oh! Shit ! (yeah, that was truly a shit)

Thanks, God, I had atleast taken my meal. I had to wash all the clothes then, the bed sheet (shit again), the pillow, the quilt and mattress. I even had to cut the mattress, because it was impossible to wash that. So, I had taken a round cut piece of the mattress around the area where the cat had shit, away from it.

It took me 2 total hours, to clean up all the mesh and next half an hour to wash myself.

I do not know how did I manage all those smell, the shit, and how I made a courage to do that. Anyway, this also happens. Tomorrow, I am leaving for my home, and I must share this experience to all my friends out there.

Let, me see the responses.

Ha! Ha!

Sep 28, 2007 at 10:41 am

I know what it makes me feel being a fan of Hilary Duff. and the major thing is having the same birthday - septemer 28th., Hilary is exactly 2 years younger than me. and I know myself how happy I was when I first knew this.

I completed my 22nd and Hilary her 20th. At this moment I wanna make two wishes, first I want to wish a very happy birthday and many many returns to myself and Hilary. Secondly, I just wanna share all those wishes made to me by my relatives and friends to this beautiful lady. This is not anything to spam or make an issue here.

I had started to be fond of Hilary when I watched her movie Lizzie mcguire. After i got to knew we had a same birthday, this added up more, which made me to start a blog of Hilary http://fansofhilary.blogspot.com . I tried to make posts as recent as possible and my blog was getting more and more traffic. However, after one years, I had to stop updating, due to my academic routines.

Anyway,
It makes me feel proud to have a birthday on the same day with this lady, whom I die for. I wish to meet her but I am an Asian, and she American. Hope i will do that when she comes to India.

Happy Birthday to me and Hilary.

Prashant Tamang has been crowned with the Indian Idol Title

I had missed the Indian Idol final show, so I wake up early in the morning and went to a newspaper shop to see if the coverage has been made there. Amazing, the show after midnight had a coverage at most of the leading newspapers of Nepal. Then I sat down in front of my computer and started searching for Prashant Tamang.

These are the results.

Prashant crowned the new Indian Idol
After a long and sometimes bumpy ride, Indian Idol has found its winner—Prashant Tamang. The first Nepali to ever take part in the contest, he beat all odds (no formal training in music and coming from a police background that does not nurture a singer) to become the new Bharat ki Shaan. He has his fans—who were so enthusiastic in voting for him—and the negative comments from the judges—which spurred him on to do better—to thank for winning the title. Here’s wishing him all the luck for his future.


http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Prashant_Tamang



Prashant Tamang (Nepali: प्रशान्त तामाङ) is a Kolkata-based singer and winner of Indian Idol season 3.[2] He is the first contestant of Indian Nepalese origin to make it to the final rounds of Indian Idol and finaly win it. He is also the first person from the Indian police force to enter the final rounds. His father had breathed his last while serving for Indian police in an accident related to the same.

Partitioning the removable USB Drive-HOW TO

I had tried to create partitions in my USB Flash Drive. My drive was of 32MB as the manufactures rating. All was well when I started GParted to created the partions. What I did was,

* I first selected the device /dev/sdb1 from File->Devices.I was really excited to get the device
/dev/sdb there.

* I do not remember what was the size of my drive before I did all the works below. But I remember I used to store some around 29MB data or more previously. I only know that it was a 32MB USB Drive.

* I deleted the partition, tried to create partiotions,etc and there were errors due to the drive being a 32MB one, coz fat32 required minimum 32MB disk space for creating a partion. I accepted that.

* The major problem that I had is after I tried to resolve the errors. What I did was - I deleted all the partitions and created just one .To my surprise, I found only 23MB space remained, and I could not create a FAT32 Partion.

*** WHAT THE HELL OUT WAS GOING THERE, I COULD NOT UNDERSTAND *****

But I am sure that the size initially was 32MB because it was the minimum requirement for FAT32 partion. Could not believe what was going there. I mounted the 23MB anyway, and viewed the properties from the GUI browser. Again, the same thing repeated.

Then I did this again...

* I started the command-line partion manipulation program "parted" which is the command-line tool for GParted.
* I selected the device /dev/sdb1 as
(parted) select /dev/sdb
* I printed the disk information
(parted) print
To my surprise, the output was ...
Disk geometry for /dev/sdb: 0kB - 32 MB

***** What is this again ? *****

* I created a partition as below ...

(parted) mkpart /dev/sda1
Partition type? primary/extended? primary
File system type? [ext2]?
Start?
Start?
Start? 1
End? 32
* Again I printed the partiotions as ...

(parted) print
Disk geometry for /dev/sdb: 0kB - 32MB
Disk label type: msdos
Number Start End Size Type File system Flags
1 1kB 32MB 32MB primary fat16

But again I could not create a FAT32 partion

(parted) mkfs
Partition number? 1
File system? [ext2]? fat32
Error: Partition too big/small for a fat32 file system.

Directional Sound (What is ?)

Yesterday, I got to watch 'BOYS TOYS' show on the History Channel. The programme talked several topics and was majorly focused on the the arms and ammunitions. Something that I had not known , and was told there was the Directional Sound.

  • What is the Directional Sound?
    The term Directional here means , something that is focused in a particular direction. This very concept is best implemented in the LASER beam technology, which focuses a red (generally) beam at a point.

    The concept of Directional beam of light has now been implemented in the acoustic systems, which has lead to invention of Directional Sound.

  • History !
    ...
  • To be continued ...

Google Gadget API

Hey Guys, I had recently gone through the Google Gadget API documentation and the HOW To Guides. I really found Google Gadgets are not so tedious to programme as productive and useful as they are.

What Are Google Gadgets

  1. Google Gadgets are simple XML files that are used to embed in websites,Google Personalized Homepage and so on.

After reading the API Documentation something more struck in my mind. Then there arose some sort of inspiration, to create One Gadget Per Week (OGPW), if I can.I will try to create the Gadgets which will really be hepful, funny, entertaining and much more... Lets see how far I can go...

iGoogle and my Subscription

This is my iGoogle.... Do not have a one. Read the article to create one...http://acpmasquerade.blogspot.com/2007/05/google-and-igoogle.html

Google and the iGoogle

Google! how was it started,everyone knows that. Yesterday,when I was talking to my friend about the establishment of Google, they all talked that Google was a failure when it was just started. This was because Google was started only as a search engine, however there had been many search engines which provide more than a mere search engine at that contemporary time. But what is Google now? Is it just a mere search engine? The leap of Google from Google to iGoogle has defined what has Google turned out to be.

I do not know the exact sequences of the development of Google, but i remember some of them. From just the mere search engine to Gmail and progressively we can see the list at Google services and the developments inside the Google Labs which is among one of the Google services.

The Beauty of Google starts right from the Classic Google Homepage and then its plain design. Only the text ads that get displayed in the Gmail with the remarkable use of the Intelligence in filters, Spam Protection, Forwarding and much more. Not only Gmail the screenshot alongside shows what has google provided to the world.

Just yesterday ,I got to see the iGoogle link at the top right corner of the Google Classic Homepage.And found that Google has rebranded the Personal
Homepage to iGoogle. Hats Off! Why
not to say it iGoogle. Google already
had a plan to do that,because it had
already created a link to the personalised homepage as
http://google.con/ig where the ig represents iGoogle. Now its to see what has google maintained to be the iGoogle.

  • Theme which changes with the day light changes of the location
  • Customised Gadgets
  • Make your own Gadgete and share them
  • Gmail (I prefer to say it iMail)
  • and much more... because the list is endless.
I am pretty much sure and have already seen the world and rule of Google in the near future, why in the near future ,had already done in many aspects. Never forget to see the Search Engine Rankings and the position of Google there.
