MarkMail is a free service for searching mailing list archives, with huge advantages over traditional search engines. It is powered by MarkLogic Server: Each email is stored internally as an XML document, and accessed using XQuery. All searches, faceted navigation, analytic calculations, and HTML page renderings are performed by a small MarkLogic Server cluster running against millions of messages.
Use it first and share your experience. http://markmail.org/
I found this wonderful web tool that provides service of converting the blogs to podcast. Now readers of my blog have an option to listen to my blog.
Odiogo (http://www.odiogo.com/) is compatible with all blog engines that publish RSS feeds such as Typepad, Blogger, WordPress or Overblog. The generated MP3 files are stored on their servers. Weblog owner does not need to worry about technical integration tasks or bandwidth.
Not only is Odiogo free, it may be able to generate advertising revenues. Once your listenership reaches a significant level, you may qualify for a share of ad income!
Use this grievance forum and educate others who don't know about this facility. This way we can at least raise our concerns instead of just talking about the 'System ' in India.
I found an interesting website today, it is Guerrillamail.com - the self proclaimed anti-spam solution.
Steps to use it:
1. Get an antispam temporary email address on their website.
2. Use this email address to signup for a service you only planning to use once
3. Receive the confirmation e-mail(s) in your temporary antispam inbox
4. After 15 minutes your temporary emailaddress will expire and all mail send to this address will get caught by our antispam filter!
“Unfortunately, the orkut.com server has acted out in an unexpected way. Hopefully, it will return to its helpful self if you try again in a few minutes.” This message is nothing sort of new for the users of the Orkut services.
Orkut has become victim of its own success. It has such a large user base that we (the users of orkut) keep seeing these kind of messages too often. They need to work of scaling the solution to minimize (if not eliminate) such issues of service disturbance.
Récemment, j'ai décidé que j'avais commencer un blog, parce que je voulais être en mesure de partager les choses que je trouve sur Internet avec d'autres ... I know it sounds creepy, but just bare with it. Have fun! Je sais, cela est creepy, mais tout nu avec elle. Amusez-vous!

All I did was to configure my blogger account for emails. Now, I can blog by sending email to my email ID created by them. This is awesome!
People keep getting confused while using terms “Performance” and “Scalability”. Here’s the difference:
Performance measures the speed with which a single request can be executed. Example: My website’s home page loads completely in 2 seconds, this is performance.
Scalability measures the ability of a request to maintain its performance under increasing load. Example: My website’s home page should load completely in 2 seconds even with more users requesting for it. Means same performance with more users using the resource.
This is a beautiful story that helps put into perspective what should be important in our short life!
RED MARBLES
I was at the corner grocery store buying some early potatoes. I noticed a small boy, delicate of bone and feature, ragged but clean, hungrily apprising a basket of freshly picked green peas.
I paid for my potatoes but was also drawn to the display of fresh green peas. I am a pushover for creamed peas and new potatoes.
Pondering the peas, I couldn't help overhearing the conversation
between Mr Miller (the store owner) and the ragged boy next to me.
"Hello Barry, how are you today?"
"H'lo, Mr Miller. Fine, thank ya. Jus' admirin' them peas. They sure
look good."
"They are good, Barry. How's your Ma?"
"Fine. Gittin' stronger alla' time."
"Good. Anything I can help you with?"
"No, Sir. Jus' admirin' them peas."
"Would you like to take some home?" asked Mr Miller.
"No, Sir. Got nuthin' to pay for 'em with."
"Well, what have you to trade me for some of those peas?"
"All I got's my prize marble here."
"Is that right? Let me see it" said Mr Miller.
"Here 'tis. She's a dandy."
"I can see that. Hmmmmm, only thing is this one is blue and I sort of go for red. Do you have a red one like this at home?" the store owner asked.
"Not zackley but almost."
"Tell you what. Take this sack of peas home with you and next trip this way let me look at that red marble" Mr Miller told the boy.
"Sure will. Thanks Mr Miller."
Mrs Miller, who had been standing nearby, came over to help me.
With a smile she said, "There are two other boys like him in our
community, all three are in very poor circumstances. Jim just loves to bargain with them for peas, apples, tomatoes, or whatever. When they come back with their red marbles, and they always do, he decides he doesn't like red after all and he sends them home with a bag of produce for a green marble or an orange one, when they come on their next trip to the store."
I left the store smiling to myself, impressed with this man. A short
time later I moved to Colorado , but I never forgot the story of this man, the boys, and their bartering for marbles.
Several years went by, each more rapid than the previous one. Just recently I had occasion to visit some old friends in that Idaho community and while I was there learned that Mr Miller had died. They were having his visitation that evening and knowing my friends wanted to go, I agreed to accompany them. Upon arrival at the mortuary we fell into line to meet the relatives of the deceased and to offer whatever words of comfort we could.
Ahead of us in line were three young men. One was in an army uniform and the other two wore nice haircuts, dark suits and white shirts...all very professional looking. They approached Mrs Miller, standing composed and smiling by her husband's casket. Each of the young men hugged her, kissed her on the cheek, spoke briefly with her and moved on to the casket.
Her misty light blue eyes followed them as, one by one, each young man stopped briefly and placed his own warm hand over the cold pale hand in the casket. Each left the mortuary awkwardly, wiping his eyes.
Our turn came to meet Mrs Miller. I told her who I was and reminded her of the story from those many years ago and what she had told me about her husband's bartering for marbles. With her eyes glistening, she took my hand and led me to the casket.
"Those three young men who just left were the boys I told you about. They just told me how they appreciated the things Jim "traded" them. Now, at last, when Jim could not change his mind about color or size... they came to pay their debt."
"We've never had a great deal of the wealth of this world," she
confided, "but right now, Jim would consider himself the richest man in Idaho ."
With loving gentleness she lifted the lifeless fingers of her deceased husband. Resting underneath were three exquisitely shined red marbles.
The Moral : We will not be remembered by our words, but by our kind deeds. Life is not measured by the breaths we take, but by the moments that take our breath.
Today I wish you a day of ordinary miracles. IT'S NOT WHAT YOU GATHER, BUT WHAT YOU SCATTER THAT TELLS WHAT KIND OF LIFE YOU HAVE LIVED!
Yesterday my team member asked me (after spending 2hrs) for logic for presentation of table with alternate row background colors. I felt that it may be simple to people who know it and difficult to others, hence I am blogging about the solution.
This solution works with Java, .NET, Ruby, every other language. I’ll use HTML example for simplicity and focus on solution rather than technology syntax.
First, declare two style classes (or something you need to set the font/background/etc that needs to be altered):
<style>
.rowstyle1 {background-color:white;}
.rowstyle0 {background-color:lightyellow;}
</style>
Second, declare a numeric (int) variable to count (running number of) the table rows:
int rowNumber = 0;
Third, increment the running number before rendering the table row:
rowNumber++;
Fourth, use the running number to assign the style class to each row:
class='rowstyle<%=(rowNumber % 2)%>'
Post me if you need help with logic building in any situation. I’ll try to help.
This is my old posting posted at planetsourcecode.com which I am re-posting on my own blog...
I am fascinated by the free email websites coming up every since Hotmail was bought by Microsoft. I am ready with my own free web email website solution for someone to buy or hire me to create for them. Let me give an overview of what and how I created.
Tools and Technologies: Microsoft Exchange Server, COM components, , SQL server 6.5 and site server
Microsoft Exchange Server will be used to send and receive the mails.
We’ll deploy the COM components in transaction server to use cluster of servers to scale for high number of users expected on a free web email website.
SQL server 6.5 to store the emails. Exchange has its limitation with number of users and size of data.
Site server to authenticate the users.
We’ll create COM components for:
1. User registration and Login using site server
2. Inbox view using SQL server
3. Compose and send mail using exchange. Save mails in SQL
4. Read mails (anything@mydomain.com) and save into the user’s account.
I am also working to create this solution in CGI or Java based technologies. Send your comments, it will help me.
