Get rid of Gmail Ads through awful keywords

drunklemur — Thu, 06 Aug 2009 11:36:10 +0000

Apparently through the use of some terrible keywords in your emails you can get rid of them. GoogleAds which reads your email and looks for keywords to generate ads from will not show ads with bad keywords as a matter of taste, a filter for taste as you would. However if you’re really adamant on getting rid of Ads, there are easier alternatives using firefox addons like AdBlock and such.

Deviantart – wallpaper source (also a design community)

drunklemur — Wed, 05 Aug 2009 10:54:03 +0000

, a touted design community is probably the oldest and largest design community based on the web. Deviantart is the place to scour and find new wallpaper, oh and also other art stuff too if you’re into posting and all that.

My wallpaper pick for this week:

Sweet.

Hunch – Decision making for the indecisive!

drunklemur — Tue, 16 Jun 2009 11:38:51 +0000

So i decided to try out hunch.com as I am bored as all hell @ work.

Hunch asks you some questions to get to know you, then based on your answers throws out a couple of responses to your original question. I found out that my ideal vacation spot is Tokyo, which isn’t too far from what I’ve originally planned, so good going Hunch!

So far it seems like the service has only certain topics that you can use hunch for but it will grow as the user base grows.

However it is interesting to think that something like this may be the future of consulting? (Not hunch specifically but the hive continues to grow and who knows how web based everything will become). Hunch itself is more than likely screwed if they don’t add some sort of twitter or facebook connect functionality to it.

Worth a visit if you’re bored.

RadioSure is surely the best radio application on the web

drunklemur — Tue, 19 May 2009 23:12:00 +0000

RadioSure combs the analog world for real radio stations from all over the world and easily listened to on your desktop from anywhere. Not only does it have 12000+ radio stations available for listening but it’s got a nifty feature to allow you record and it will automatically splice the songs between ads and label it accordingly. And lightweight as hell to boot.

SICK!

Check it out at www.radiosure.com

Wolfram Alpha is for Information Junkies

drunklemur — Mon, 18 May 2009 20:22:18 +0000

So Wolfram Alpha the hyped up computational knowledge machine (aka Skynet) released today and I was pretty impressed. Although I can’t find myself using it in any regularity as I don’t find myself asking myself what the height of Mount Everest is divided by the length of the Golden Gate Bridge very often. Unless I’m doing a pop quiz with a deadline I can find much the same information through the google tab on the top left of my browser, without having to type in the ridiculously long name wolframalpha! Until they allow you to upload your own data and have it graph it for you and do regression and other funky stuff, I’m just going to keep this on the backburner.

Definitely worth watching out for and checking out though – www.wolframalpha.com

Check out the screencast as well – http://www.wolframalpha.com/screencast/introducingwolframalpha.html

Talk to a Stranger @ Omegle.com

drunklemur — Fri, 15 May 2009 11:46:57 +0000

So last night bored as a bat I tried out Omegle.com, a web based chat service that randomly connects you a one on one chat with a stranger.

Surprisingly I haven’t seen this concept tried before and it’s quite good fun.

A couple of interesting highlights -
A male stranger who started off the conversation with “I need buttsex”.
A 31 year old swedish stranger who attempted to prank me as ‘Daphne the Armenian villager from Ptzuk’, a quick wiki search rendered her full of it very quickly and after a good conversation I got to pranking myself as Burunsi the Ethiopian gun smuggler.
A 20 year old brasilian girl who started off the conversation with “I need a husband” who I planned my future wedding with.

Firefox Addon Feedly is the Bomb!

drunklemur — Wed, 18 Feb 2009 17:11:37 +0000

I had this add on for literally more than one month and didn’t even bother to figure out how it worked, assuming it was just another social sharing addon, I just didn’t use it, until yesterday and DAMN, Feedly is my new startpage now and until yesterday that was Netvibes. Feedly takes all your RSS feeds and displays it to you in a magazine style format and has variations of the layout based on your preference, but it beats anything I’ve seen so far hands down.

Netvibes needs to take some pointers from Feedly, their readability is wayyy better. Feedly needs to take some pointers from Netvibes too if they wanna compete in start pages, add widgets, email and the like and IMO they will easily overtake Netvibes.

Download Feedly from here.
