Anant Shrivastava : Techno Enthusiast

NOTE : after change in technorati this method is not checked, so will not say that this is currently a working method.

Heres an interesting tip that you probably haven’t thought of yet. In fact, this will increase the number of links to your StumbleUpon blog, and will automatically increase the link juice to every page that you add, review, or Stumble using the StumbleUpon service.

First, you need to make sure that you have an account at Technorati. You’ll also want to make sure that you have an account at StumbleUpon.

Next, go here to start your claim. Enter your StumbleUpon home page, which will be something like anantshri.stumbleupon.com.

Once you enter the blog URL, you’ll get a confirmation screen. It will look like this:

Next, click on Use Post Claim » link on the left, the part in green. That will get you to another screen that looks like this:

open a new tab in your browser or a new window and go to your StumbleUpon profile (mine is anantshri.stumbleupon.com). Edit a recent review or click on the “post new blog” link. Copy the code that Technorati gave you (the a href link code) and paste into a new blog post at StumbleUpon.

Next, go back to Technorati and click on release the spiders. Once the Technorati spiders have confirmed that you’ve added the code to your StumbleUpon blog, then you an re-edit the review to remove the Technorati claim code or delete the blog post.

That’s it! You’ve now claimed your StumbleUpon blog with Technorati.

the new buzz of the town is that google is in OS development.

another proof that came in my sight today i favour of this argument is

a entry in http://www.google.com/robots.txt

The second last line says : Disallow: /gcc/

well gcc as to the best of my knowledge could only mean GCC the gnu compiler collection.

well it could be a false alarm also as Google could also be planing to launch a new service with abbreviation G.C.C.

but for now on gcc could be said to be associated with compiler and if google is working on gcc then there could be no better proof of its involvement in O.S. development.

disclaimer: – this is not a confirmed news its just the interpretation of robots.txt of google.com as per an outsider (anant shrivastava that’s me)

Protect your PC by executing a program on Sandboxie

If you execute a dangerous program which can have an virus or visit a site which can install a spy ware into your machine, use Sandboxie!

Programs (including browser) which is executed through Sandboxie reads data from hard disk.
But when programs write something on hard disk (or register), it is written on transient storage of Sandboxie. And the written data will be removed when Sandboxie is terminated.
(i.e. Sandboxie intercepts read operation and directs data to its temporary storage)

See the following figures, you can understand its mechanism.

* existing way *

* Sandbox’s way to protect your PC *

Sandboxie has simple user interface. You can launch any programs as below,

Sandboxie monitors processors which are crated through it. And “[#]” is added after/before the original caption of an application which is executed by Sandboxie. see as below,

It’s free and you can download it here.

I also think that it will be very useful
- when you test your application (e.g. windows application, FireFox extension, etc) for testing.
- when you get rid of all of your trace on a PC of your friend.

My views on this topic besides the above :

From the users point of view , small footprint makes it a good choice.

it install a startup application and then everything could be done write from it.

also right click menu has a new entry for application “RUN sandboxed”

This will bring security to new level. it could easily be implemented on cafe’s and other public place to avoid system hassles.

also its feature to start apps fro start menu opens a new menu containing a list of items available at desktop and all programs menu.

over all its a nice piece of application that should be installed prior to any other application in order to avoid any tension.
