Tweet Search with Topsy

For all those Twitter™ people here is something useful. Topsy is a search engine powered by tweets. It means that U can search tweets through this site.
This is great Bcause when U search on Twitter™, U get results on the basis of names, email ids & brands. But in Topsy U can get D actual tweets that U want 2 find. I have used it & it is quite something. It is still in it's BETA stage, so it'll get better by time.

11 Rules U don't learn in schools

Rule 1: Life is not fair - get used to it!

Rule 2: The world won't care about your self-esteem. The world will expect you to accomplish something BEFORE you feel good about yourself.

Rule 3: You will NOT make $60,000 a year right out of high school. You won't be a vice president with a car phone until you earn both.

Rule 4: If you think your teacher is tough, wait till you get a boss.

Rule 5: Flipping burgers is not beneath your dignity. Your grandparents had a different word for burger flipping: they called it opportunity.

Rule 6: If you mess up, it's not your parents' fault; so don't whine about your mistakes, learn from them.

Rule 7: Before you were born, your parents weren't as boring as they are now. They got that way from paying your bills, cleaning your clothes and listening to you talk about how cool you thought you were. So before you save the rain forest from the parasites of your parent's generation, try delousing the closet in your own room.

Rule 8: Your school may have done away with winners and losers, but life HAS NOT. In some schools, they have abolished failing grades and they'll give you as MANY TIMES as you want to get the right answer. This doesn't bear the slightest resemblance to ANYTHING in real life.

Rule 9: Life is not divided into semesters. You don't get summers off and very few employers are interested in helping you "FIND YOURSELF". Do that on your own time.

Rule 10: Television and video games are NOT real life. In real life people actually have to leave the coffee shop and go to jobs.

Rule 11: Be nice to nerds. Chances are you'll end up working for one.

Name Google

If U want 2 make a site with your own domain name 4 free then here is something that is not D real deal but is some fun. http://namegoogle.com/ is a site powered by Google Custom Search, that allows U 2 not only create a  page with your name in D Google style but also lets U save them with D url of your choice 4 free.

But it works by editing your host file so it wont work on other computers, but it is still fun right?

Sued for using Facebook

Yeah U read it. A dude is being sued for creating a Facebook Group. Dude's name is
Christopher Thomas Aldred (or Thomas Aldred) a student of St Columbia College and D name of his group is St Columba College Is a Shit Hole!. So not guessing who R sued him :D.
Now he is scrambling 2 close his group B 4 he gets in jail. He is requesting all 63 members to leave D group, so that he can close it. Not things like this shows us that we may use D internet 2 say all that we want, but we must always think B 4 as you might not know who is reading it.
Now if U wanna C this Facebook Group than I suggest U do it soon. As it will B closed.

Creating Special Characters in Plain Text

We use special characters like © & ™ & ® on our sites & blogs, but it is easy 2 put them via HTML codes like &copy; for ©, &reg; for ® & &trade; for ™.
But when it comes to plain text it is quite difficult. MS Word automatically changes (c) to ©, but U cannot do that in say Notepad. So what can U do?
Well D solution is simple & all U need is a computer with a keyboard.
Just Hold D ALT key on your keyboard & type 0169 on your Numpad (not the numbers on D top of your alphabetic keys). You'll get a © symbol in Notepad, not only that but it works on any plain text editor, even here.
There R lots of special characters linked 2 key combinations, but here is a list of few of those important symbols that U might need,
Alt 0169 © (copyright)
Alt 0153 ™ (Trade Mark)
Alt 0174 ® (Registered)
Alt 0167 § (Section)
Alt 0178 ² (squared)
Alt 0162 ¢ (cents)
Alt 0128 € (Euro)
Alt 0163 £ (Pound)
Alt 0165 ¥ (Yen)
Alt 0161 ¡ (inverted exclamation)
Alt 0191 ¿ (inverted question mark)
Alt 0172 ¬ (boolean 'not')
Alt 0176 ° (the degree sign)

If U want then U can also create special symbols just 4 U, like a logo of your company or your initials or digital signature that U can place anywhere without any hustle. All U have 2 do is,
In D Run Command, Type eudcedit > Hit OK.
Private Character Editor will B launched, you'll see a Select Code dialog box > Hit OK.
U will see something like Paint, just create a symbol that U want and select Save Character from
Edit menu.
Your symbol is made.
To add that symbol just open Run Command, Type charmap > Hit OK.
When Character Map opens, select the Font drop-down list and select All Fonts (Private
Characters).
Select your character, click the Select button, and then click the Copy button.
You can now paste your font character in any document that you want.
