map a drive letter to Google Drive in Windows

Google Drive's shortcut in Windows 7/Vista shows up in your Favorites folder, while in Windows XP, it shows up in your My Documents folder. The shortcuts are easy enough to use, but if you find using a specific drive letter to be more convenient, there's an easy way to map one to your Google Drive account.
If you're comfortable using the command prompt, you can use the DOS command: subst. A better and easier way to create the drive association is using a small program called Visual Subst. It's basically a GUI front-end to the subst command.
Here's how to use Visual Subst to associate a drive letter to your Google Drive account:
Step 1: Download and install Visual Subst.
Step 2: Select the drive letter you want to associate, then type in the path of your Google Drive account, or browse to the path. In Windows 7/Vista, it should be C:\Users\Username\Google Drive, where Username is your Windows username.

 

Step 3: Make sure to check the box next to "Apply virtual drives on Windows startup," then hit the green plus button to add the association.
Step 4: After the association has been added, the virtual drive will appear in the Visual Subst list.

 

That's it. You should now see your Google Drive account as a drive letter in Windows Explorer. If you want to delete the association, just highlight it in Visual Subst and click on the red X button.

Google Apps is changing

You've probably heard that Google is about to make more of its services available to organizations with Google Apps accounts. We're ready for early adopters who accept the current feature limitations to transition to our new infrastructure for Google Apps accounts. Here is what this means for you:
• In addition to the core suite of messaging and collaboration applications, your users may now access many more Google services with their Google Apps accounts. Learn more
• Currently you will not have the ability to disable additional services as you can today with the core Google Apps suite, but this capability will be added soon. If you need the ability to disable any of the additional services please do not transition at this time.
• Important materials and notices for your users are currently only available in the English versions of Google products. If you have users who may be using non-English versions of Google products, do not transition at this time.
This update is free, and Google will automatically make the transition for you this Fall. In most cases, though, we think you'll want to step through the transition wizard yourself and actively communicate the forthcoming changes to your users. You can move everyone to the new infrastructure today, or you can try out the new account services with selected pilot users. Learn more

If you bored using javascript alery(myVar); function for debugging you may use console.log(myVar); like console on most development tools.
Also firbug helps you to inspect each every corner of DOM using your mouse.

Debugging PHP using Firebug, FirePHP


First you need to install firebug add-on then firePHP add-on. Then download FirePHPCore from http://www.firephp.org/  and add FirePHPCore in your PHP 'include' or root or somewhere you like. Include it in you PHP file.
using
require('FirePHPCore/fb.php');
and call fb() function passing a single argument that you need to pass in to Console

try{
        echo "hello";
       }
   (Exception $e) {
    fb($e);
    fb("Error in data ".$foo);

FirePHP writes this to console using  HTTP headers – in particular, X-FirePHP-Data headers in the response.

Undo Send option in Gmail- Will help us to re-think whether to undo a send mail

Sometimes I regret sending a message the morning after. Other times I send a message and then immediately notice a mistake. I forget to attach a file or email the birthday girl that I can't make her surprise party. I can rush to close my browser or unplug the Internet — but Gmail almost always wins that race.

An email to the wrong Larry pushed me over the edge. I could undo just about any other action in Gmail — why couldn’t I undo send? Many people agreed, including Yuzo Fujishima, an engineer in the Tokyo office. My theory (which others shared) was that even just five seconds would be enough time to catch most of those regrettable emails.

And now you can do just that. Turn on Undo Send in Gmail Labs under Settings, and you’ll see a new “Undo” link on every sent mail confirmation. Click “Undo,” and we’ll grab the message before it’s sent and take you right back to compose.



This feature can't pull back an email that's already gone; it just holds your message for five seconds so you have a chance to hit the panic button. And don't worry – if you close Gmail or your browser crashes in those few seconds, we'll still send your message.

I've had Undo Send turned on for a while and it's saved me several times. Let us know if it saves you too.

Features

Status Window

Whenever you enable our IME for an application either through a shortcut or through language bar, its status window will be visible on the screen. By default it will be placed at the bottom right corner of your desktop which can also be moved around. It is used for more configuration and controlling various features of our IME. It has three to five icons (depending on the language and features available) with leftmost being the application icon. Next to it are IME language indicator button, keyboard button (not present for Amharic and Tigrinya), canonical mode button (This button will be present if you have anycanonical schemes associated with the IME) and menu button in that order.

Edit Window

When the IME is enabled for an application like notepad and you start typing, IME displays the edit window with the typed text and the corresponding word choices in IME language. In the below example, user has typed 'googl' and the IME has displayed five choices numbered 1 to 5.

Navigation and Selection

By default the leftmost choice will be highlighted indicating active choice. Active choice can be changed by navigating other choices through BOTTOM-ARROW or TAB key - which moves the selection to the right; or through UP-ARROW or SHIFT+TAB keys - which moves the selection to left. To select one of the choices as the new word for your application, use ENTER key which inserts the active choice to the application at its current cursor position. Using SPACE or any other PUNCTUATION CHARACTER also inserts the active choice to the application along with the typed punctuation character. Exception will be when IME thinks that there is a better choice of word containing the punctuation character as part of the word itself. All the above controls only insert the active choice (highlighted) into the application. Another way to insert any choice even if it is not active is using its position number as: CTRL+.

Word Completions

When you type a word, the choices displayed in edit window will be either in BLACK or BLUE color. Intuitive partial word choices for the typed content are displayed in BLACK color which will always be grouped on the left side. If there are any better dictionary-based word completions for the typed content, they are displayed in BLUE color and grouped on the right side.

Paging

In the example being discussed, IME displays only 5 choices in the edit window which is the page size setting of the edit window. It can be configured through the menu button of the status window. If there are more choices than the page size set, then it will be displayed in the next page. Page navigation can be done through the small arrow buttons at the right bottom corner of the edit window or through PageUPand PageDown keys. Even when you navigate the choices with arrow or tab keys, the control moves to the next or previous page from either end of the edit window.

Search

At anytime while typing in edit window, if you click the Google image on top right corner of the edit window, it triggers a web search for the active/highlighted choice in google.com. Search can also be triggered for non-active choice by right-clicking on any choice and then clicking the Search... drop-down button.

User Cache

There will be scenarios where the leftmost choice is not the one you are looking for and you select some other choice (second choice in the below example for typed word 'program') which will be inserted into the application.

IME remembers this selection for the current user and when the user next types 'program' again, the last selected choice will now be displayed as the leftmost choice. To share this information across all applications for a user, this is persisted at user level even after closing the application. But this persisting behavior can be disabled through the 'Disable User Cache' option from menu button of status window. Note that caching doesn't apply if you select word completions. It is only for word choices shown in BLACK color.

Switch to English

If you want to add both roman alphabet (typically English) content and IME language content to any application, there is an easy way to switch between the two. In one mode IME gives you choices in its language and in another mode it just emits what you have typed. Toggling can be done by clicking the IME language button in status window or through shortcuts: CTRL+G or F12.

Keyboard

When you don't get some words as expected choices for any rare complex words; you can use the flexible keyboard to input any possible word. You can open the keyboard by clicking the keyboard button on status window or through the shortcut CTRL+K. Mouse is used to enter characters from the IME keyboard which also triggers word completions in the edit window. Keyboard can be closed by clicking the keyboard button again on status window or through shortcut keys: CTRL+K or ESC. There is also option to enter Zero Width Joiner (ZWJ) and Zero Width Non Joiner (ZWNJ) characters.

Customization

You can customize many features through IME's menu. Options available through the menu popup in status window are:

• Change or activate one of the available canonical schemes (Option available only if there is atleast one scheme in the Schemes directory).
• Select the font and size to be used to display the choices in IME language inside edit window (Suggestion Font).
• Select the font and size to be used to display the English/Roman characters inside edit window.
• Set the page size for edit window to restrict its size through number of choices.
• Enable or disable the persistence of user cache.
• Add/Edit or Delete macros using Manage Macros option.
• Information about the IME like version.
• Help, linking to this page.

Special Cases

There are some special cases in how IME behaves for some characters in some languages:

• Example in Arabic for special case of SPACE where it is part of the typed word.
  
• Example in Arabic for special case of PUNCTUATION where it is part of the typed word.
  
• Example in Greek for special case of CAPITALIZATION where only first character being in uppercase in input retains its casing.
  
• Example in Greek for special case of CAPITALIZATION where all uppercase word in input retains its casing.
  
• Example in Greek for special case of DIGITS where number is converted digit wise instead of its whole value.
  

User Defined Macros

IME supports adding custom user defined macros. Macros are short character sequences mapped to a word of your choice. When you type a character sequence, if there is a word corresponding to that sequence in the user-defined macros collection then it will be shown as the first choice in the Edit Window. You can manage the macros by choosing the 'Manage Macros...' option from the IME's menu.

When you select this option the 'Manage Macros' dialog opens, allowing you to add, modify and delete the set of macros.

Adding a Macro entry

Click on the 'Add' button. This will add an empty row to the Macros List. You can double click (or select the cell and press F2) on the cell to add the new Macro entry.

• Macro Text should consist of only alpha-numeric characters and the length should not exceed 100 characters. Macro Text is case-sensitive.
• Macro Target should not contain any spaces and the length should not exceed 50 characters.

Removing a Macro entry

Select the cells you want to delete (Use Shift+Click to select a range or Ctrl+Click to select multiple disconnnected cells) and click on the 'Delete' button. Note that you cannot delete single cells. If you delete a cell, the full row will be deleted.

Modifying and Saving Macro Entries

• You can edit any cell by double clicking it (or selecting the cell and pressing F2 key).
• You can cancel the edit anytime by pressing the 'Esc' key or clicking outside the cell. Press the 'Enter' key to complete the edit.
• After all edits are completed you need to click on the 'Save' button to save your changes.
• You can click on the 'Discard' button anytime to discard all the changes made so far (after the previous save action).

Once you have the Macros in place you can use them while typing. For example if 'Mon' is mapped to in the Macros, then when you type 'Mon' you will see as the first option.
