    Gmail for domain

    Google launched Gmail for your domain a few months ago. It lets your member of the website/blog to have email accounts powered by Google Gmail with a whooping 2GB storage.

    Finally, Google invite me for this service. No longer need to care about my e-mail hosting disk space anymore (my current email disk space setting is 100MB, its pretty low when you receive a lot of spam. Ok, now I am currently configuring Mail Exchange (MX) DNS Records.

    Here is some of screen shot :

        Aging could be Curable – Aubrey de Grey

        Aging could be CurableBritish (department of genetics at Cambridge University) scientist Aubrey de Grey, Ph.D., is interviewed by Bloomberg news correspondent Janet Street-Porter. A brief overview on how aging could be curable and extreme life extension could be available in as little as 25 years and the scientific debate surrounding such a proposition.

        I know it’s quite an old story from 2005, but the Bloomberg interview, which is just posted on video.google.com, is quite interesting. Although it does not say much how Aubrey de Grey’s research is conducted, I hope he or others make a breakthrough. In short it still strikes me as a nice scientific fairytale :-)

                  World Cup RSS

                  rssI have been looking a little bit around and probably it can be found somewhere, but why is it so hard: An RSS feed that ONLY gives instant World Cup results. I was hoping the official site would have a feed, but on the same feed comes the gossip and newsstories too. DOH.

                  OK, Microsoft has something, but can I get those feeds in my feedreader or without M$ licence? E-link looks promising too but can’t I get those scores outside the software framework? Is rss so unpopular? I want scores per country only. Nothing more, nothing less.

                  Anyone?

                              Flock Beta is out

                              flock Flock Beta is out.

                              Forgot about it?

                              Its a bit like Opera I guess, first nobody cares then later it gets better.
                              For everyone? With Firefox slowly growing maybe a little bit, but far from large crowds.
                              But who knows…

                              At this moment I wouldn’t know, try it!

                                              We feel fine

                                              jkj

                                              We feel fine is a collection of feelings and expressions of internet community one year back. On top of that it is totally optimized so you can tap on the feelings for date, gender, weather, kind of feeling (!). Funny way to check if one year back you can trace a similar feeling as you’re having today! (ie it’s different from The Dumpster where “romantic breakups are displayed”)
