We trust Google so much that if it’s not found after Googling around the net, then it does not exist! Sometimes when we are searching for something rare, we are bound to get very unusual search results in Google. This does not mean that what you are searching is non existent. What you need to do is just try another search engine and chances are that you will get a relevant site link within first search. Google is best, no doubt about that but this does not mean that if Google is not able to find you relevant site links, other search engines will also not work. So next time you are not satisfied with your search result, just try other search engines as well.

When you are doing a dynamic website project, it may need you to make forms to collect user information. Almost every website has contact us form which mostly consist of name, email, comment and phone number etc. These forms are easy to make and data can be sent to an email id or stored somewhere. If all you want is send data to an email id, then all you have to do is write few lines of code and use mail() function but if you need to store the data, story is different! Storing data means use of database and since you cannot read data directly from logging in database panel and reading tables, you will need to make an interface from where stored data can be read. This is where admin panel is needed. Making form and then connecting it to database, setting up admin panel to view stored data requires lot of coding. If you know coding well even then it takes some time to do this, otherwise you hire a programmer to do it for you.

Form tools make things easy for you. This free open source script is not only highly customizable but also works with variety of forms. All you have to do is make the form and then connect it to form tool (installed on your server) and that’s it! Form tool will collect data from the form, store in database and present you in clean tabular and printable format. Connect your form to Form tool is very easy and anyone without knowledge of coding can do it. I think Form tool is one of the best tool for every web developer. Download it free from formtools.org

I have always noticed this that people have tendency to keep only limited number of shoes and sandals and try hard to match them with their outfits and occasions. Every occasion needs different style of footwear. For example if you are going to beach, you can’t just wear your leather Comfort Shoes because they will not only get spoiled but also not look cool. Having many pairs of shoes means you not only have better match for your dress but also less wear and tear of your shoes. Less wear and tear means longer life as well.

Name Brands Shoes and you think of insane price tags, however this is not true for every popular brand. If you look around for shoes on online stores, then you will find good quality shoes at very tempting prices. I suggest making a list of your daily activities and then look for types of shoes you need. Never try to mix shoes for different occasions. Walking shoes will never be comfortable enough for jogging. Jogging shoes have special design which makes them perfect for jogging.

If you do lots of outdoor activities like visiting sites, trekking, rock climbing and other sports then you should consider more rugged shoes like Ugg Boots. These boots will protect your feet better than any other types of shoes. For rock climbing and other sports like these, there are special shoes available which provide more grip and hence additional safety. So from know wear right shoes on right occasion and look smart.

You cannot avoid spammers, while we exchange anti spam tips here, millions of spam mails will be sent. When you create a new email ID, you are not spammed at all but once you start using that email ID, you also start getting spam mails. So how these spammers come to know about you email ID? There are many places on internet from where these spammers gather emails but I am writing only those which are popular.

- You join a website whose administrator is an evil person and sell user email ID with his/her private information as well.

- You join a website whose administrator is non techcy and webmaster leaks email to his spammers friends.

- You post your email ID in forums and other portals where this email id is crawled by special software’s used by spammers to collect emails from web pages.

- Your email id is in contact list of your friend (which is obvious) and your friend’s computer is infected with spyware. All his contact emails are stolen with some private information as well and then personalized spam mails are sent. A real example I would like to give here, I met my old friend on social networking site and she was in Russia. Now she added me in her contact list and her laptop was infected in spyware. Since we were talking about Russia, how that place is which means word “Russia” was sent to spammers along with my email ID. Now these spammers send me those famous Russian Bride spam mails!

Even if we escape from first three possibilities, we cannot control what’s going on in our friend’s computer. Best thing to do is educate your friends about spywares, malwares, data miners and other bad stuff. You can also create an email ID only for signing up non serious websites and keep a private email ID for serious work.

Computer literate people know how much secure and powerful UNIX operating system is but we still use windows because it’s more useful to common man. However in times when you have to study UNIX, you have no choice but install some Linux flavor on your PC just for learning UNIX commands and scripts. However as the title of this post says, you can learn UNIX on your Windows system too! Telnet and free UNIX account provider like sdf.lonestar.org makes this possible. All you have to do is type: telnet sdf.lonestar.org in the run box and you will be connected to a UNIX system where you can create free UNIX account. This account remain active for 100 days but if you want it to be forever then you have to pay a tiny fee of 1$ (or 5$ via paypal). This service is best for students who want to learn UNIX without messing up with their existing operating system.
