Adding a Google Wave to Blogger blog

Google wave is out now and people are trying it. I am one of them and I came across a useful robot which help us to publish a wave to blogger. Its name is Madoqua Wave Bot(blog-bot@appspot.com). Add it to your wave account and follow these simple steps:

1. Create a new wave or add Madoqua to an existing wave. It will give you the javascript code which will be in two parts.
2. use the first part as an element or embed that in your blog post by editing HTML, like I have.
3. For the second part, go to layout tab and choose edit HTML, paste that code inside your blogger template. But where to paste it? Search for /body in your template and paste the second part just before that.
4. Looks like all is done

How to access twitter from google wave

There's a cool little google wave Twitter client(plugin) I know of is called Tweety the Twitbot. Today, I’ve also seen it called Twave, though the application itself still doesn’t seem to use that name.

I used Tweety in the Google Wave sandbox preview and completely forgot how I added it back then. So I did some searching and came across a tweet from @oplura explaining that getting Tweety going is as easy as adding a contact. So let’s do it, with pictures.

Go to your contacts window and click the + sign at the bottom to add a new contact:

Enter this address:

tweety-wave@appspot.com

Now make a new wave. Click the + symbol to add a new participant to it. Add Tweety:
Next you’ll get an authenticating message:
A new window will open to connect Wave to your Twitter account:
After you sign in successfully, you’ll get a message confirming this, and then the window will close.

Back in your wave, push the “Done” button if you’re still seeing the authentication message.

When to use Google Wave

There are tons of ways to use Google Wave--here are just a few examples to get you thinking and an overview video that shows Google Wave in action.


Organizing events

Keep a single copy of ideas, suggested itinerary, menu and RSVPs, rather than using many different tools. Use gadgets to add weather, maps and more to the event.




Meeting notes

Prepare a meeting agenda together, share the burden of taking notes and record decisions so you all leave on the same page (we call it being on the same wave). Team members can follow the minutes in real time, or review the history using Playback. The conversation can continue in the wave long after the meeting is over.




Group reports and writing projects

Collaboratively work in real time to draft content, discuss and solicit feedback all in one place rather than sending email attachments and creating multiple copies that get out of sync.



Brainstorming

Bring lots of people into a wave to brainstorm - live concurrent editing makes the quantity of ideas grow quickly! It is easy to add rich content like videos, images, URLs or even links to other waves. Discussion ensues. Etiquettes form. Then work together to distill down to the good ideas.




Photo sharing

Drag and drop photos from your desktop into a wave. Share with others. Use the slideshow viewer. Everyone on the wave can add their photos, too. It is easy to make a group photo album in Google Wave.

5 Ways to get google wave invite

Google wave is a new buzzword and lots of people are looking for an invite. There are couple of ways by which one can get google wave invite. Google Wave is "a personal communication and collaboration tool" announced by Google at the Google I/O conference on May 27, 2009.[ is a web-based service, computing platform, and communications protocol designed to merge e-mail, instant messaging, wikis, and social networking. It has a strong collaborative and real-time[4] focus supported by extensions that can provide, for example, robust spelling/grammar checking, automated translation between 40 languages, and numerous other extensions. Initially released only to developers, a "preview release" of Google Wave has been extended to about 100,000 users on September 30, 2009. I'm going to discuss few of them in my blog:

1. Signup at Google : Yes, they are still open. But, the problem here is that you will get the invite in next slot.And it may take time.
2. Register At googlewaveinvites : They are working as medium to distribute invites evenly. I've signed up there but still I'm waiting for an invite. So I'm not sure how long it takes.
3. Ask someone who has google wave account.I got my wave account by this way.
   
4. Search twitter
5. Kidnap Larry Page and ask an account in ransom :D

If you still want to know more about google wave then here's a video for you

How to give a wave fill effect in AS3

This is just a hint not a tutorial.... I was just given an assignment to get this thing done as a preloader.... so I used a animated mask which I created as movieclip in flash and used it as mask for the inner fill of the object. I just tweened the mask and was getting a liquid fill effect in the swf file.

Peel effect using css

This is a neat little script to get a peel effect on your site. Its something like this.
Have jquery on the server installed.

<script src="js/jquery.js" type="text/javascript"></script>
<title>untitled</title>
<script>
$(document).ready(function(){
$("#pageflip").hover(function() { //On hover...
$("#pageflip img , .msg_block").stop()
.animate({ //Animate and expand the image and the msg_block (Width + height)
width: '307px',
height: '319px'
}, 500);
} , function() {
$("#pageflip img").stop() //On hover out, go back to original size 50x52
.animate({
width: '50px',
height: '52px'
}, 220);
$(".msg_block").stop() //On hover out, go back to original size 50x50
.animate({
width: '50px',
height: '50px'
}, 200); //Note this one retracts a bit faster (to prevent glitching in IE)
});
});
</script>
<style>
#pageflip {
position: relative;
}
#pageflip img {
width: 50px; height: 52px;
z-index: 99;
position: absolute;

width: 50px; height: 50px;
position: absolute;
z-index: 50;
right: 0; top: 0;
background: url(images/logo.png) no-repeat right top;

}
</style>

Browse the Web Using Proxy Server

In computer networks, a proxy server is a server (a computer system or
an application program) that acts as a go-between for requests from
clients seeking resources from other servers. A client connects to the
proxy server, requesting some service, such as a file, connection, web
page, or other resource, available from a different server. The proxy
server evaluates the request according to its filtering rules. For
example, it may filter traffic by IP address or protocol. If the
request is validated by the filter, the proxy provides the resource by
connecting to the relevant server and requesting the service on behalf
of the client. A proxy server may optionally alter the client's
request or the server's response, and sometimes it may serve the
request without contacting the specified server. In this case, it
'caches' responses from the remote server, and returns subsequent
requests for the same content directly.

A proxy server has two purposes:

* To keep machines behind it anonymous (mainly for security).[1]
* To speed up access to a resource (via caching). It is commonly
used to cache web pages from a web server.[2]

Indian Student

It was the first day of a school in USA and a new Indian student named Chandrasekhar Subramanian entered the fourth grade.

The teacher said, "Let's begin by reviewing some American History. Who said 'Give me Liberty , or give me Death'?"

She saw a sea of blank faces, except for Chandrasekhar, who had his hand up: 'Patrick Henry, 1775' he said.

'Very good!'

Who said 'Government of the People, by the People, for the People, shall not perish from the Earth?'

Again, no response except from chandrasekhar. 'Abraham Lincoln, 1863' said Chandrasekhar.

The teacher snapped at the class, 'Class, you should be ashamed. Chandrasekhar, who is new to our country, knows more about its history than you do.'

She heard a loud whisper: 'F*ck the Indians,'
'Who said that?' she demanded.

Chandrasekhar put his hand up.
'General Custer, 1862.'

At that point, a student in the back said, 'I'm
gonna puke.'
The teacher glares around and asks 'All right! Now, who said that?'
Again, Chandrasekhar says, 'George Bush to the Japanese Prime Minister, 1991.'

Now furious, another student yells, 'Oh yeah? Suck this!'
Chandrasekhar jumps out of his chair waving his hand and shouts to the teacher, Bill Clinton, to Monica Lewinsky,1997!'

Now with almost mob hysteria someone said 'You little shit. If you say anything else, I'll kill you.'
Chandrasekhar frantically yells at the top of his voice,
'Michael Jackson to the child witnesses testifying against him- 2004.'
The teacher fainted.

And as the class gathered around the teacher on the floor,
someone said, 'Oh shit, we're screwed!'
And Chandrasekhar said quietly, "I think it was the Republican Party, November 4, 2008."

Vista-Boot Process

The Windows Vista" boot process differs from Windows® XP in the way
the operating system is located and initialized. Start-up begins with
the BIOS loading the Master Boot Record (MBR) on the bootable disk.
The MBR in turn loads the Partition Boot Record (PBR) on the active
partition. So far, Windows Vista remains relatively unchanged.

Windows Vista is different from XP starting by the fact the PBR code
written by Windows Vista no longer looks for Ntldr. The new boot
loader in Windows Vista is Bootmgr. This component loads the Boot
Configuration Database (BCD), which in turn loads an OS loader boot
application (Winload.exe, in the case of Windows Vista). Finally, the
OS loader application is responsible for initializing the kernel. This
process is illustrated below.

You can think of this change in two elements:

1. The two key actions performed by Ntldr in previous Windows versions
have been divided between two components:

2. Bootmgr reads the boot configuration, including device and path locations.

WindowsSystem32Winload.exe initializes the kernel.

The boot configuration stored by Boot.ini in previous Windows versions
is now stored in an extensible database, BootBCD, the Boot
Configuration Database (BCD).

These changes are significant because of the impact they have:

The boot process can be extended to support other applications, such
as other operating systems or other versions of the OS.

Only nonversion-specific components are stored in the root of the
active partition. This means that theoretically Windows Vista could be
installed on a machine running some future Windows version with the
same boot structure, and it would not break the boot process for that
future version. With legacy Windows, installing an older Windows
version last causes the newer version to fail on start-up. This is due
to version-specific code improvements in Ntldr.

Tool-oriented boot entries can be supported to offer maintenance
options on boot when a previous start-up failed. In the past, Windows
supported an menu provided by a target operating system. This new
structure can make tools available earlier during the boot process,
meaning that they are available even if all OS-specific boot entries
are damaged. The Windows Memory Diagnostic tool is provided in the
boot menu in this way.

BCD Store

The Boot Configuration Data (BCD) store contains boot configuration
parameters and controls how the operating system is started in
Microsoft Windows Vista operating system. These parameters were
previously in the Boot.ini file in BIOS-based operating systems or in
the nonvolatile RAM (NVRAM) entries in Extensible Firmware
Interface-based operating systems. You can use the Bcdedit.exe command
line tool to affect the Windows code which runs in the pre-operating
system environment by adding, deleting, editing, and appending entries
in the BCD store. Bcdedit.exe is located in the WindowsSystem32
directory of the Windows Vista partition.

The BCD is a database used by Bootmgr. It contains the functions of
Boot.ini and is located in the {ActivePartition}boot folder

Bcdedit.exe

You can use Bcdedit.exe to modify the Windows code which runs in the
pre-operating system environment by adding, deleting, editing, and
appending entries in the BCD store. Bcdedit.exe is located in the
WindowsSystem32 directory of the Windows Vista partition.

Boot.ini Compared to BCD

BCD eliminates the need for Boot.ini in Windows Vista, although
Boot.ini is still present on dual-boot systems for backwards
compatibility. Because the BCD boots to the boot environment first
instead of Ntldr, the location of Ntldr is not verified unless a
legacy operating system is chosen.

Configuration Tools

The BCD store can be modified or repaired using several tools:

System Properties in Control Panel

SystemPropertiesAdvanced.exe

Msconfig

Windows Recovery Environment (WinRE) Startup Repair

Bcdedit.exe

Bootrec.exe

Most of these tools enable you to perform simple tasks, such as
setting a boot menu timeout, setting a default operating system, or
configuring boot options such as /SOS and /SAFEBOOT. Others are
repair-oriented tools; Startup Repair and Bootrec.exe, in particular,
provide automated mechanisms for fixing problems in the BCD.

Bcdedit.exe is the main tool for detailed BCD store modifications. You
can use Bcdedit to change Bootmgr options; add boot, delete, and edit
boot entries; import and export the BCD store; and create a new store
if it becomes significantly damaged. Bcdedit.exe is located in the
WindowsSystem32 directory of the Windows Vista partition and is also
available in WinRE.

BCD Store Location

The BCD store is a registry hive, stored as BootBCD on the active
partition. This hive is loaded but hidden from view in Regedit.exe
within Windows Vista. The store is loaded to the following registry
location: HKLMBCD00000000.

You can also view the store manually in WinRE by loading the hive from
the Boot folder. To obtain a copy of the hive on a running system, use
the Bcdedit /export filename command to export a hive file for offline
examination. This command exports the BCD store to a file called
filename in the current directory.

Related Components

Msconfig

Msconfig is the preferred PSS UI tool for managing boot settings. The
tool supports BCD and allows the user to enumerate all BCD objects in
the system store. It allows certain elements to be altered for each OS
object, including debug settings, safe mode settings, and other
popular PSS options. It cannot be used with the WinRE console; Bcdedit
needs to be used in these cases.

Bcdedit.exe

Bcdedit.exe is a command line tool that can be used to manage BCD
settings. In summary, Bcdedit.exe is a replacement for Bootcfg.exe.
However, it is enhanced for better scripting and to expose some of the
more powerful features of BCD that bootcfg.exe did not expose for
manipulating Boot.ini. Bcdedit.exe is designed to work on previous
operating systems and in recovery environments.

KB-Windows System Assessment Tool

Knowledge Byte

The Windows System Assessment Tool (WinSAT) is a module of Microsoft Windows Vista which measures various performance characteristics and capabilities of the hardware it is running on and reports them as a Windows Experience Index (WEI) score, a number between 1.0 and 5.9 for Windows Vista and Windows Vista SP1 and between 1.0 and 7.9 for Windows 7 (build 7000). The WEI is due to increase its maximum score with future updates. The WEI includes five subscores: processor, memory, 2D graphics, 3D graphics, and disk; the basescore is equal to the lowest of the subscores.

The current version of Windows Vista (Build 6001) version of WinSAT performs the following tests:

·       Aero Assessment

·       Direct3D Alpha Blending Assessment

·       Direct3D Texture Load Assessment

·       Direct3D ALU Assessment

·       Windows Media Playback

·       CPU Performance

·       Memory Performance
