Internet Connection Speedometer (How fast is your internet connection?)

Internet connection speed refers to the data transfer rate from the Internet to your computer. Basically that means the amount of time it takes your computer to download a given amount of data. Internet connection speeds are usually measured in Kbps (kilobits per second, or thousands of bits per second) or KBps (kilobytes per second). Nowadays with the technological improvements in data transfer speeds, Internet connection speeds can also be measured in Mbps (megabits per second, or millions of bits per second) or MBps (megabytes per second). For example, if you had a 28.8K (28,800 bps) modem, then it would take at least 4 - 5 minutes to download a 1MB file. If you had digital subscriber line (DSL), the same 1MB file would take approximately 10 - 20 seconds.

More Upcoming Features For Orkut !!!!!!

Ionut over on the Google Operating System points towards some more upcoming features within Orkut.

orkut SMS

With orkut SMS you can send and receive scraps with your mobile phone as well as other cool stuff. But first you need to register your mobile phone to use orkut.

Photo Tagging

You can tag your friends in photos. To create a photo tag, click and drag the mouse to select a friend.

The send scraps via mobile phone sounds like a great idea, although some fear this could be abused by spammers (doubtful as Google could simply ban your phone from its network).

The photo tag also seems to be very interesting, although isn't that wandering into Picasa territory?

Linkin Park( Not Techies' Park :) ) In the end Lyrics !

In The End Lyrics
Artist(Band):Linkin Park
(Chester)
It starts with one
(Miske)
One thing,
I don't know why,
It doesn't even matter how hard you try,
Keep that in mind,
I designed this rhyme,
To explain in due time,
(Chester)
All I know…
(Mike)

Time is a valuable thing,
Watch it fly by as the pendulum swings,
Watch it count down 'till the end of the day,
The clock ticks life away,
It's so unreal…
You didn't look out below,
Watch the time go right out the window,
Tryin to hold on,
Didn't even know, I wasted it all just to
(Chester)
watch you go…
(Mike)
I kept everything inside,
And even though I tried,
It all fell apart,
What it meant to me
Will eventually be,
A memory of a time when
(Chester)
I tried so hard and got so far,
but in the end,
It doesn't even matter,
I had to fall,
to lose it all,
but in the end,
It doesn't even matter,

One thing, I don't know why,
It doesn't even matter how hard you try,
Keep that in mind,
I designed this rhyme,
To remind myself how
I tried so hard...
In spite of the way you were mocking me,
Acting like I was part of your property,
Remembering all the times wherein you fought with me,
I'm surprised it
got so(far)…
Things aren't the way they were before,
You wouldn't even recognize me anymore,
Not that you knew me back then,
But it all comes back to me,
(Chester)
In the end...
(Mike)
You kept everything inside,
And even though I tried it all fell apart,
What it meant to me
Will eventually,
Be a memory of a time when
(Chester)
I tried so hard and got so far,
But in the end,
It doesn't even matter,
I had to fall,
to lose it all,
But in the end,
It doesn't even matter,
(chestear)
I've put my trust in you,
Pushed as far as I can go,
For all this,
There's only one thing you should know,
I've put my trust in you,
Pushed as far as I can go,
For all this,
There's only one thing you should know,
(Reapeat this 2 times!)
(Chester)
I tried so hard and got so far,
but in the end,
it doesn't even matter,
I had to fall,
to lose it all,
in the end,
it doesn't even matter.

REMINDER: The names in () are the names of the people singing that part of the song!

	Playback Singers : Vishal Dadlani
	Lyricist : Sameer
	Music Director : Pritam

Dhoom again and run away with me
On a rollercoaster ride
Dhoom again and see your wildest
Dreams
Slowly come alive
Dhoom again we gotta break the
Rules
And party all the time
Dhoom again we gotta steal the
Show
You know that ain’t no crime
So steal all that you can
The magic you began
Let’s shout, break out
Come on once again lets hear it
Dhoom machale…
Once more come on you people
Dhoom machale…

Dhoom again and feel the beat of
The rhythm
Rhythm of the night
Dhoom again and hear the voices
Calling
Creatures of the night
Dhoom again and see the shadows
Dancing
In the pale moonlight
Dhoom again feel your
Heartbeat pumping
Now the time is right
So go walk out the door
Get down… get on the floor
Let’s shout, break out
Come on once again lets hear it
Dhoom machale…

And when love comes your way
You’ll know it’s here to stay
You’ll steal the chance ‘coz you’re
The thief of hearts yeah
You’ll win with just a glance
Walk away with your romance
There’s no more there’s no backing
Out now

Dhoom again and make the whole
World crazy
Set the spirit free
Dhoom again and take a break right
Now
Come celebrate with me
Dhoom again ‘coz all i wanna do
Is steal the show somehow
Dhoom again ‘coz all i wanna say
Is hey the time is now
Let nothing get you down
Go out and paint the town
Let’s shout, break out
Come on once again lets hear it
Dhoom machale…

How to automatically delete the folders that are more than 'n' days old?

How to automatically delete the folders that are more than 2 days old? I have the following directory structure, to store certain reports for each day:

* D:\Reports\20051102
* D:\Reports\20051103
* D:\Reports\20051104
* D:\Reports\20051105
* D:\Reports\20051106

I want a script that'll delete the folders that are more than 2 days old from now. I should be able to schedule this script to run daily, as well.
Scripting - DeleteFolder method

Here is a simple script that'll accomplish what you need. Copy this to a Notepad, and save as "DelFolder.VBS" with quotes, and then run it.

'DelFolder.vbs - jan 7 2007
Devesh Mankar

Dim i, fso, f, f1, sf, BasePath, CalcResult, fNameArray()
BasePath = "D:\Reports"
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set f = fso.GetFolder(BasePath)
Set sf = f.SubFolders
For Each f1 in sf
CalcResult = DateDiff("d",f1.DateCreated,Now)
if CalcResult > 2 then
ReDim preserve fNameArray(i)
fNameArray(i) = f1.Name
i = i + 1
end if
Next

For Each fName in fNameArray
FSO.DeleteFolder(BasePath & "\" & fName)
Next

Connect Orkut from your Mobile

Hi,

It is observed many times that when we try to connect to orkut.com from a mobile , only the half page displays(which contains some photos with text "who do u know") but you r not able to view the login page at all! Hence to login in orkut from your mobile all you have to do is to change the URL u type in your mobile. So Instead of www.orkut.com the URL to be typed is

https://www.google.com/accounts/ServiceLoginBox?service=orkut&nui=2&uilel=1&skipvpage=true&continue=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.orkut.com%2FRedirLogin.aspx%3Fmsg%3D0%26page%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fwww.orkut.com%252F&followup=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.orkut.com%2FGLogin.aspx&hl=en-US

This URL is the frame of login page. You can also use this URL in your PC to connect to orkut faster as the downloading of waste part is avoided!

Happy Orkutting!!!!!!
