iPoke !

iPoke application caught my attention immediately, when apps where introduced in orkut.

You have to add the application to your profile first.

Now you can poke your friends now.

You smash birthday cakes, throw flowers, bowl googly or smash tomatoes etc :)

If your friend has this app in his profile, int he top 3 order, then his profile will show the pokes he received from you and others.

You can also view the pokes that you sent through your history, from My History tab in iPoke tab.

GPG

Today Ashok, a friend who caught me online through this blog of mine, experimented with a encrypted mail conversation.

I have been signing mails.But honestly the first time i tried encryption today.I abandoned evolution, so i had to depend on FireGPG plugin for my IceWeasel to do the encryption for me.

Backed up my keys and the revocation certificates.

Abusive Attitude !

People criticised me about not having manner on the list.

For my previous blog post i received lots of comments, with abusive content!

Some hiding their identiy. Why ? I guess its because there is no mailing list ettiquette here !Dont expect a rule to be put up every where.

I think i am way better than them. I have not mentioned any name, on my mails neither used any abusive content.

Regarding an off topic, i dont know why people fumed and replied to it .I was provoked similarly !

Got it world?

When some one post irrelevant things, he is spared, because he is a senior member.Treat people with dignity whomsoever it may concern on public forums atleast.

I am out of ILUGC.Let me prove, i beleive in contributing rather than asking others to learn.

Gmail Labels

Today i went through the information architecture of gmail to know more about labels etc.All these days i was only little aware that u can filter mails more effectively using Gmail’s label and filter options.Folder vs Label comparison immediately made me sit and configure ILUGC,Ubuntu,bluez-devel mailing list to my Gmail :)

we just have to create a new filter, as a first step specify a filtering criteria in the next step u can decide what to do with the filtered mail.
I apply a label and archive it by skipping the inbox so that my inbox is not cluttered with mails.
