Time Lookup ( Search by Country,city,State or Abbrev)
Posted by: ITions on: August 29, 2010
It’s been long time since my last Post. But today I am not going to review or write anything new.
It’s going to be about a small product that I developed for one of my friend who is working as a sales person in a company near Melbourne. One day I met him and he was telling me that he was looking for a desktop tool that can tell him the time of any countries state or city. I suggested him to look in web where he can find something . He then told me that he couldn’t find any desktop tool and most of them he found were web based.
He further added he was looking simple tool which could tell him time when he type in the city name. I just thought for a while and I told him that I can make him one ( if it’s just for personal use ) . It just took me less than 30 mins to write this tool. I linked the Google timer with my VC++ app and that’s it.

Google Chrome official Themes – worse than anything
Posted by: ITions on: August 5, 2009
The Very first time when i clicked on one of the google chrome theme it crashed …
Chrome Themes
Its always good to have themes and personalise your browser according to your mood and environment ,but google themes makes your eyes blind. I was wondering why they released themes like “Baseball” , which make seeing tabs almost impossible and 1 out of 10 crashes .
I think google is short of QA members for which they released it and asked the Users to test it .[Beta ??? ]
Special Note : Nice QA google
Atlast GMail goes offline
Posted by: ITions on: January 29, 2009
Google yesterday has rolled out its offline support for gmail which is exactly the same way gmail already works on mobile phones such as android.For this you need to install Google Gears plug-in. After installing the Google Gears plug-in to your browser, Gmail detects when you are offline. It caches your e-mail so that you can read it, respond to it, search it, star it, or label it. When you are connected to the Internet again, it sends all the messages. You can even open attachments.
whereas the disappointing thing here is,Google which is known for giving multiple features( GMail labs ) for its product , were overtaken by their successor ” Zohomail ” who offered offline support late last year.At this time i thought its worth comparing both giants “googlemail and zohomail”.
Like Gmail, zohomail also supports Labels ,in addition to that it also supports folders which has its own advantage. The interface of Zoho mail is pretty good and loading fast but it doesn’t have option of switching to Basic HTML view like gmail .But the feature that i like most is conversations, where responses are listed hierarchically so that you can look at a conversation and visually see who responded to whom. I thought this is very useful and its not available in any webmail. It also has an integrated chat which is almost same like gmail which is integerated with other zoho Apps like zoho writer etc. It also offers features like Configuring multiple mail accounts from a single mail client, Mail preview at the bottom , Mail conversations using Conversation View and also Import Contacts from your Gmail and Yahoo accounts.Its also has tabbed interface which is quite similar to Yahoo Mail. After seeing all this features from zoho, in my opinion zoho stands ahead of gmail in features but not in market.
