A Quantum Immortal

I tend to write short stories from time to time, when I get the muse.
I opened a short page that I will use to host some of those stories.
Here is the first one, Reading Dracula.

BTW, you can use Google Page Creator for creating & hosting short webpages like this one and even hosting files up to 100mb.

Not functioning yet in Israel (at least on my cell phone), but looks cool.

Passing the time I entered this search query into Google Trends. I compared the number of times people search for Sex & Mp3s, and I got these weird peaks at the end of every year.

A cool feature I wanted for some time – I started typing in my Google search box in Firefox, but it was in the wrong language. Google knows my mistake:

BTW, the thing I was looking for for “gmail attachment problem”. For some time now whenever I click on an attachment in Gmail I get the attachment, but the current tab goes blank. If you have the same issue here is the solution – just disable/uninstall TabMix.

I’m seriously thinking of switching to Google Reader (from Feedreader).

Pros:

• Ability to check feeds on other computers, instead of pile up a large chunk of feeds to check at night.
• Ability to quickly mark favorite posts so my readers (you) can get them, instead of having to write a separate post for every post I like.

Cons: Not having a popup on a new item (which can be a boon during movies).

I think I’m switching 🙂

In the meantime, here’s the crappy graph of the day:

Google made a video representing how an email message gets around the world. The video is made up of bits and pieces filmed by people all around the world.

Amusing watch.

I just accidently discovered this recently – you can get your email messages on Gmail as an RSS feed.

In an effort to free up some Gmail space after running out of it, I searched for “.ppt” and “.pps” to find all powerpoint slides in my box. ALL “.pps” files and almost all “.ppt” were indeed well-intended spam. Deleting some of them helped me get down to only 91% full, and then I encountered the following message. It would have been amusing under different circumstances.
