I use Google Calendar because it sends me SMS alerts for upcoming events, and also is pretty easy to use, on the other hand most of my work and other useful tasks are stored on Outlook, which include official calendar events, meeting reminders and more.

Taking photographs on your camera is quite a fun thing to do, but having to resize each and every image so that you can easily share them with your friends and family is definitely quite a pain.

Camera Images can be of pretty high resolutions which in turn shoots up the size of images to 2 or 3 megabytes each, sometime even more, now if you have taken 100 photographs imagine the amount of time you would spend to resize those images to a sharable resolution and size.

Quite sometime back we had introduced you to a online service that would help you watermark your images for free, this included adding a custom copyright to any images that you may own and want to upload on the Internet.

The WordPress team announced the availability of WordPress 2.7 beta 1, and I was pretty excited to give it a whirl, so I installed it on my local PC and was more than amazed at what is in store for users with WordPress 2.7.

Here are my impressions on WordPress 2.7, remember this is just a beta version, so do not install it on your main blog yet.

Improvised Dashboard

The first thing I noticed after logging in was a improvised dashboard which was way much better than any earlier versions of WordPress.

The new dashboard has easy navigation links in the left hand side, which is a change from the regular top menu navigation the earlier versions had. The dashboard widgets have been rearranged and look pretty in WordPress 2.7.

Failures vs Strengths

  • In Appraisal meetings, they will speak only about your weakness, errors and failures.
  • In Resignation meetings, they will speak only about your strengths, achievements and success.
