Gmail shows "Who's Boss"

I was surprised to see when checking my GMail account. Is this another April Fool joke. No this isn't, as it wasn't when google launched Gmail on 1st April last year providing 1 GB of email space, virtually unthinkable at that time. Today, Gmail has increased its storage to more than double.
While other email providers are still fighting over the storage, with yahoo recently announcing to increase its free email storage space to 1 GB (don't remember the link to the article :( ),Gmail has made it such a trivial thing.
Gmail adheres to its philosophy of unlimited storage and proves it yet again. No wonder I am a fan.

Update: Here's the link to Yahoo's Announcement.

"Sanjay Goel" On Google

Well, nothing much to be crazy about, but now I can tell my friends to search my name in google to get to my blog ;-).
Due to some unknown reason, google doesn't cache the individual links on this blog and sometimes even this main page is not cached.
Hence if the search results change later, I have atleast one proof ;-)

Tweaking Firefox

Just came across this link to the mozilla forum which discusses about various firefox tweaks for improving its performance.
If you find it too long and bloated to read, you are not alone, so did I. But hey, here is this really handy utility Firetune, that would do all this for you.
I just ran it and selected the "Fast Computer, Fast Connection" option for my office pc and my firefox is now noticeably faster.
I always like this line "Your favourite application just got better ;)"

Jab main chota bachcha tha

This picture was taken during my first year house day function. Besides me, gullu, singla, sandy, suchit, bansal, nirjhar, makhmoor and dasa are part of it.
I wasn't the smartest of guys at that time, but what's the big deal, neither am I now :D .
Finally I have been able to scan all the college time pictures of which I have been the sole owner till now.

Boy who topped NASA

Just can't stop laughing on this ... it certainly happens only in India ;-) ... The amazing part is that even an Italian newspaper Repubblica.it published this.
btw, this guy anil writes well :-).

Tapestry working now

The Dilbert rss feed is working again ... thank goodness ... Looks like I reached on a conclusion a bit too early, though I thought that 5 days of downtime should be enough for that.

There are a lot of feeds offered by tapestry, but the ones I read are
Dilbert
Peanuts
Wizard of Id
B.C.

All these links will open in a rss aggregator. If you don't have one, try Abilon.

Update: Looks like the above link to abilon is broken right now. This one is working and has better description.

Dilbert RSS Feed not working

There used to be a tapestry which looks like this. It provided rss feeds to various comics, most notable being Dilbert. But the link is broken since Feb 20. Some google search reveals a Feb 15 post in Boing Boing

In a moment of mindboggling, unreasonable blinkered pig-ignorance, United Syndicate has decided that this somehow constitutes an infringement of its copyright -- that's right, reading an RSS feed of their stuff, using Internet Explorer, violates their copyright. They've nastygrammed the creator of Comics for Media Center and he's shut his project down

Here's another post by Chris

RSS supporters, watch out. The feed you are reading might be next.

Looks like tapestry has also fallen victim to United Media. I am not a happy man today.

Update: this blockquote thing is not working as expected. Will fix it later.
