Thank you Flickr Customer Care

December 28th, 2008 by Sunil

Last couple of weeks I was in trouble because i could not login to my flickr account. I forgot the login id. 

It was a long time since I tried for my flickr account.

I contacted Flickr customer care(http://www.flickr.com/help/contact/) . They asked to send mail from my alternate email address. I sent mail from my alternate gmail account and I got a favourable reply from them. I retrieved my yahoo username and password.

Thank you Flickr customer care

YSlow ignores IE conditional comment

December 22nd, 2008 by Sunil

When I was checking through some site, I noticed that YSlow will not check style sheets inside the IE conditional comment. If Yslow is not considering the style sheet inside the conditional comment how we can say that site is fully optimized through YSlow. So performance grade is not reliable in this regard.
What do you think?

html-ipsum.com – a good tool for html developers

December 17th, 2008 by Sunil

Web developers know about the Lorem Ipsum. We can generate dummy texts from this site. And Firefox plug-in is available for that also. Now a new site called html ipsum, generates html snippets.

It is a nice tool for web developers. If you want dummy html, you can simply copy from the snippet. While clicking the html code, it will automatically copy the html to your clip board. Hope we will get a firefox plug-in for html-ipsum soon.

December 16th, 2008 by Sunil

WordPress  published new version of blog. I just check it today for my blog. It is called “Coltrane”.

It is great. Nice look and feel. The old horizontal top menu changed to vertical and a lot of new features.

Those who are interested to install wordpress 2.7,  don’t forget to delete old files except wp-config.php file, wp-content folder, wp-images folder, wp-includes/languages/ folder–if you are using a language file,. htaccess file.

Google SMS services – amazing service from Google

December 1st, 2008 by Sunil

Today I have seen Google’s new service called Google SMS. You can now search anything from your mobile phone through SMS (Short Message Service) with free of cost. (You have to pay to your service provider for sending SMS – don’t forget that).

You can get the ticket status of train, schedules of train, restaurant information and more… Just try it out. All you need is send an sms to 9-77-33-00000 (without “-“). Eg: Get the PNR status of Indian Railway. Then send sms to PNR <number> to 9773300000.

I think it is country depended. So you have to check the customized (country wise) domain name of Google. Eg: For India,http://labs.google.co.in/smschannels
