Chrome is all about speed and user friendliness , from the point chrome is released , it`s been a rage. 

Here are some tricks and keyboard shortcuts that i found useful for chrome

1.  Control + Shift + N opens an ‘incognito’ window - This mode helps you to visit sites which will not appear on browser history or search history.

2. Alt + Home opens your Chrome home page, Which contains the thumbnails of your most visited sites shown in the active tabbed window.

3. Control + T opens you a new tab. Tabs can be drag around to change their order just like good old Firefox.

4. Control + Shift + T opens most recently closed tab. Press same key combination again to open the tab closed before that one.

5. Change your focus with Control + 1, Control + 2,……… Control + 9 takes you to the last tab.

Enjoy these small tricks,…. Have fun

It`s been nearly 10-12 hours that i have been using Google chrome browser and i surely going to make this my default browser for sure.

There are some tips and tricks which every power user should understand about google chrome:-

1. Incognito mode

On clicking the control icon in the upper right corner of the browser there comes options of opening a new tab, a new window, or a new incognito window. Incognito window opens up and let you browse without leaving tracemarks in your browser history or appearing search history, Also it will  not leave cookies or any other traces of your activity, However files you’ve downloaded or bookmarks will be untouched.

2. Chrome Task manager

Chrome task manager is a small cousin of windows task manager, It displays the process (aka websites ) seperately along with the information which website is taking how much memory and using how much cpu cycles is used by which website. Now this comes out to be a very handy tool as some websites tend to accumulate a lot of memory due to bad backend programming over time, Finally we can close the particular website without crashing the browser. In short this means we can run our browser for eternity without crashing.

Google is today one of the most important website in world wide web, Google search result has become one of the most important services for world wide web users.

A full fledged SEO industry is running on the google pagerank algorithm decided by Google Inc

I have seen a lot of developers asking the method of getting google pageranks and baclinks with the help of php.

The Google search results are ranked by page rank.

We are going to use Php class “Google PR” from Phpclasses.org

Download the Class file from here

<?php

//Include and initiate the class this line tutorial assumes that this code and class are situated in same folder

include_once(“class.googlepr.php”);


//initate a  new object

$rank = new GooglePR();


//Query the pagerank of website

echo “PageRank : ” .$gpr->GetPR(“http://www.mrdbs.com/”) .“\n”;

?>

The trend is moving fast , the free paragidm of web is now changing to pay structure, obivously the advertisement pie of internet business is so large that now companies are paying for searching and reading mail.

Such two services that i have recently joined for fun , And according me this extra money is not bad, As it don`t waste my time in any way.

First service which i am using daily is scour , It`s a aggregated search engine, Now this is a nice idea aggreagating all search results from search engines and displaying them on the order of requirements, Second thing is that it`s ajax based so search results come quickly . So join scour and start making money

Second service which i recently join is rupeemail.in, A simple service to get money for reading mails on your mailbox, Plain and simple. Try it join rupeemail.in

I was always very vocal about the ill-effects of BPO industry on Indian Youth, But the trend seems worsening and the worst of all the belief of Young minds is strengthening on drugs taking culture of BPO sector. In these series of article i will be trying to present a mindset of a very different part of generation -X

On one hand BPO sector helped India inc. to reach it`s shining phase were it stands . Putting some positive inputs regarding BPO sector:-

Outsourcing mania which boomed Indian IT sector was mainly driven by BPO`s , driven by low cost of ownwership of indian workers

BPO sector really depleted the language bareers existing earlier in our country, A generation has been awakened who can communicate with the world without any hiccup

On another hand let me put major issues that i am trying to highlight, adverse effects of Indian BPO sector:-

Irregular Nature work , Process based  professionals, and lack of skillset and innovation is hampering the  whole  bpo generation.

Attrition rate in india is increasing, This will not live long and sooner the bpo sector will see a major downfall , What will happen of current sea of employees.

In Short i suggest all young grads to have a better look at their career, Career never means money, it means money by the way you want

$pattern .= ‘+([^"\'>\\s]+)/is’;

if(preg_match($pattern,$subject,$match))
{
echo $match[0];

Most of my readers know that i started my career as a web hosting guy, Selling hosting and domain names. Hosting and domain flipping still remains my favorite past time, And i research a lot, Lately i was not able to answer all my friend queries for hosting queries so trying to sum up , What i think is best and have used personally or used for some of clients some or other time.

Small usage :-

Usually we don`t get good enough hosting companies when we need small hosting space and quick support.

This is the space that i started to fill once i started my career as a hosting provider, We all don`t need 100 or 1000 GB space, Most of the time we need few 100 mb space.

For this my all time recommendation is www.hostcurry.com , For some obvious reasons.

1. I owned the servers , so you can bug me anytime on any problem.

2. We are not oversized as we are very limited to people whom we give hosting.

Medium usage:-

This usage comes under once you need few Gb`s and a shared hosting plan , i.e your usage doesn`t cross 50 thousand users per day. Go for hostgator

Large Usage:-

Usually we all get very greedy while making our url structure using .htaccess

For example, This will not work as you think

RewriteRule ^(.*)/$ category/categories.php?cat=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^(.*)/(.*)/$ category/categories.php?cat=$1&name=$2 [L,QSA]

This will not work as after first rewrite will write , the current url structure will change to www.mydomain.com/<something>, Which will result to the last rewrite rule to be implemented after current url structure , i.e www.mydomain.com/<something>/ , Which is different from origianl structure www.mydomain.com. This can also result in loss of images as they are on relative path

RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/$ category/categories.php?region=$1 [L,QSA]
RewriteRule ^([^/]+)/([^/]+)/$ category/categories.php?cat=$1&name=$2 [L,QSA]

My two cents

Alone in the dark, A boy was standing

looking at the world, Trying to understand.

What they mean, Why i am like this. But…

No replies, No hands, No faces.

Sometimes you wake up.
Sometimes the fall kills you.
And sometimes, when you fall, you fly.

I’ll take my chances.

This weekend me with my roomies spend a nice night discussing about truth of ramayana , Mahabharata and several other hindu mythologies and astonishingly some nice facts came out all from knowledge of mine and my roomies and from “God Google”.

The most interesting part was finding of rama setu which looks like only solid fact of originality of Ramayana,

Here is the satellite image of Rama setu on National Gegraphic website.

For complete information on Rama setu have a look at Wikipedia entry of Rama setu (incorrectly written as adam`s bridge).
