Had "UTSARGA" Ceremony at School today; Got FAREWELL

In Indian Education system, you go to college after Class 12 often written as Class XII (in Roman form). Class XII, exams are conducted by the Education Board, you are studying in.

These were the basics.. Now.. I am in Class XII, and will be having board exams from March 4. Really worried!!!! :-s

After them, will have to leave school and go to college. We have already been, sent away from school, for self study at home. And an internet geek like me, doesn't study. (May God Bless me during EXAMS)...

Today, was our FAREWELL day at school. Our school is BIT (not BIT..but too much) traditional. So, they have named this.. "UTSARGA" ceremony keeping in view the age old tradition of Gurukul (ancient Indian Schools), where the teacher gives his blessing and friendly advice to the pupils,when they have completed their education in the Vidyalaya (school).

In short, the ceremony which used to take place in ancient Indian Gurukuls.. when the pupils.. completed their studies ; ).

We had a lot of BHAJAN sessions (spiritual songs) to relax our mind..

In short, BORED a LOT..

Many questions remain unanswered. To get the answers, saying in the words of the author at ToplessRobot, " I guess someone will have to pay $1.99 to find out."

Do u type fast enough?? Test it!

Who ever is reading this, has surely used the keyboard, at least for typing the URL. ;)

But everyone has different speeds of typing.. Test yours here: http://www.typingtest.com/

Mine was not bad I think.... 45wpm (words per minute).

This test doesn't take much time, it is a flash based test.. you need to type there. It also calculates the mistakes made by you and reduces the speed in ratio.

How to Access Blocked Websites??

Blocking access to undesirable Web sites through the use of Internet protocol filters has been a common government tactic since commercial Internet access first became available here in 1995. China and Saudi Arabia are believed to extend greater censorship over the net than any other country in the world under the pretext of information control.

Most of the blacklisted sites in Saudi Arabia are either sexually explicit or about religion, women, health, drugs and pop culture. They even block access to websites about bathing suits. So if you want to buy something to swim in, they seem to treat that as if it were pornographic in Saudi Arabia.

In China, webites containing sexually explicit content were among those blocked, but they also included sites on sensitive topics such as Tibet, Taiwan, and dissident activity. China also blocks access to Google News, Typepad and Blogger hosted blogs.

But what if an innocent website is accidentally blocked by your ISP or your government. There are always legitimate reasons to visit these blocked websites. We have listed a few methods to help you access blocked websites in school, college, office or at home.

Approach 1: There are websites Anonymizer who fetch the blocked site/ page from their servers and display it to you. As far as the service provider is concerned you are viewing a page from Anonymizer and not the blocked site.

Approach 2: To access the blocked Web site. type the IP number instead of the URL in the address bar. But if the ISP software maps the IP address to the web server (reverse DNS lookup), the website will remain blocked.

Approach 3: Use a URL redirection service like tinyurl.com or snipurl.com. These domain forward services sometimes work as the address in the the url box remain the redirect url and do not change to the banned site.

Approach 4: Use Google Mobile Search. Google display the normal HTML pages as if you are viewing them on a mobile phone. During the translation, Google removes the javascript content and CSS scripts and breaks a longer page into several smaller pages. [link] View this website in Google Mobile

Approach 5: Enter the URL in Google or Yahoo search and then visit the cached copy of the page. To retrieve the page more quickly from Google's cache, click "Cached Text Only" while the browser is loading the page from cache.

Approach 6: A recent Oreilly story on accessing blocked websites suggested an approach to access restricted web sites using Google language tools service as a proxy server. Basically, you have Google translate your page from English to English (or whatever language you like). Assuming that Google isn’t blacklisted in your country or school, you should be able to access any site with this method. Visit this site via Google Proxy

Approach 7: Anonymous Surfing Surf the internet via a proxy server. A proxy server (or proxies) is a normal computer that hides the identity of computers on its network from the Internet. Which means that only the address of the proxy server is visible to the world and not of those computers that are using it to browse the Internet. Just visit the proxy server website with your Web browser and enter a URL (website address) in the form provided.

Yahoo Go! Now available on Motorola handsets too.

Yahoo! has launched a beta version of Yahoo! Go for Mobile 2.0 at the Consumer Electronics Show (CES) 2007 in Las Vegas. Yahoo! Go 2.0 is an innovative new application that redefines the mobile Internet experience for consumers through a unique product design, ability to personalize with content from the entire Internet and a reinvention of mobile search. With this launch Yahoo! expands its mobile Internet leadership.

The Yahoo! Go 2.0 beta (http://go.yahoo.com) is available for consumers to download on Motorola's new MOTORAZR maxx V6 and MOTORAZR V3xx devices as part of the two companies' ongoing alliance to deliver an optimized Yahoo! experience on the world's coolest devices. Beginning in the first half of 2007, Yahoo! Go 2.0 will be pre-loaded on select new mobile devices from Motorola. Consumers can also download Yahoo! Go 2.0 on more than 70 other mobile devices from major manufacturers worldwide and use it on most wireless networks. Earlier Yahoo! Go was available only for Nokia handsets belonging to the N-Series.

Additionally, Yahoo! expects to distribute Yahoo! Go 2.0 through mobile operators worldwide including Bharti Airtel, DiGi Telecommunications (Malaysia), Globe Telecom, Hutchison India, Idea Cellular, Rogers Wireless, Smart Communications, Taiwan Mobile and 3 Group in the United Kingdom, Italy, Denmark, Ireland and Sweden.

Yahoo! has created this new version of Yahoo! Go from the ground up to bring the Internet to the mobile phone with a suite of services that are fast, easy to use and highly personalizable. The unique carousel design of Yahoo! Go 2.0 makes it simple for consumers to navigate the selection of Yahoo! Go widgets for e-mail, local information and maps, news, sports, finance, entertainment, weather, photo sharing and search. The new service also includes Yahoo! oneSearch - a completely new mobile search service designed to give consumers what they want on their mobile phone -- instant answers. Yahoo! Go 2.0 is the next generation of the service that launched for Symbian and Windows Mobile phones in 2006.

So, now the competition on Mobile has also started.
