Browsing affects Mind and Body!

"In doing daily activities our body works a lot, and then takes rest during sleep. We use our mind to think and then act. Usually we think only for a few seconds at a time, but act for a longer time putting our body to work more than the mind. But we should not put our body to work sparingly, and go on thinking for a long time: it is against our human nature. Even if you do so at any time, you must let your mind to stop its thinking, relax and take rest - by sleeping. Otherwise the mind itself may stop its working! So, do not load unnecessarily your mind. Divert yourself in other activities and take rest or sleep to relax both the mind and body to make them to be healthy at all times." - from the blog, Kindling Thoughts.
Does this content has any relevance here in this blog? Yes it does have: in Web browsing and Computer work we mostly use our mind to think, and use our body sparingly! Sparingly used body may make it susceptible for Diabetes mellitus, and a heavily taxed mind may also be a factor to cause Hypertension - in the long run! Be aware of this. Be active bodily and take rest often as said above to avoid these and stay healthy!

Phishing in Secondary Mail Account!

Email providers communicate with us through our alternate email account (another email account with secondary email id that you had given for communication), in case there is a problem, for example, Signing in difficulty, etc. Recently I received an email in my alternate account that my Web mail account (Primary) will be deactivated if I failed to send my email identity for confirmation. There was also a list of particulars in that mail that I had to send. As the time limit given in it was already over, I checked up my Web mail account immediately and found it to be intact and live! It is actually a tactic to get my personal information - Phishing! Beware of such phishing mails in your Secondary (alternate) email account Inbox. Do not respond to them in any form - email, phone or postal letter. First check your main Web mail account whether it is live or not, as I did. Give to the main Web mail provider a different User id for your Secondary (alternate) mail account that is not the same as that of your main Web mail account. Do not display the Secondary user id openly. Change often the Secondary user id for a given Web mail account. Delete the phishing mail both in the Inbox and the Trash forthwith.

Read the following exact copy of the contents of the Phishing Mail!

Video Chat through Orkut!


As technology improves and advances, every easier approach to facilities is found out and used/provided. Many facilities are integrated into one package and offered to the customers in the wake of competition, to survive in the field. One such integration is the video chatting facility that has been started in Orkut, the social community website. While you are signed in the Orkut account and viewing messages sent or replying for them, you can find your Orkut friend or relative as 'on online' and have a video chat or talk (voice chat) with him/her! It is just like video chatting through GMail account. You can activate this chatting facility in your Orkut account (if you have a web-cam and a microphone) through this --> Video Chat on Orkut!

Snag in Google Docs to Blog Posting!


As one meets with a problem, he/she wants it to be solved earlier as far as possible. Whenever there is difficulty in publishing my Blogger blog posts through Google Docs, I try to find out other ways to remove it. One such instant: whenever I typed a text in Google Docs' Document page with a different font and font size (other than the default), inserted an image in it and published my post (article) in the blog, I found that there were always more than one alteration in the font sizes in the post making it look bizarre. Later I noted during such difficult blogging that whenever I highlighted the first paragraph, there was an underlining of the first few lines of it! I tried then different ways to remove it. One that clicked lastly was: selecting the whole typed text present in the document (including the image) and changing the font size first to that with lower numbers one by one, and then increasing the size to that wanted one, again one by one! When I published this document then, I did not get any alteration in size and the blog post was neat.
