I hate these junks
Here are some simple techniques to remove your temporary files from your hard drive. These temporary files if not cleared frequently, could take up a lot of space. But, if you are working with internet regularly or didn’t care much about your temporary files, you can keep them. Oh, btw, these temporary files makes your webpage loads faster and makes programs runs much faster, no doubt.
1. Start > Run > Type %temp% in the text field (including %). You can delete all the files from that folder. In case, a file is currently used by a running program, you will not be able to delete it. Do it at a later time, or when you stop every program that is running.
And just press the Up button from this folder and you will see a folder named “Temporary Internet Files”. Guess, you know what to do.
2. Start > Run > Prefetch : You can delete all the files from this folder.
3. Start > Run > Temp : Same as prefetch.
4. You can search for a temporary files yourself by typing *.tmp in the Find files or folders. But this is risky.
To clear history, cache, cookies..etc.etc… you can do it easily from the browser itself. One recommendation, do defrag your hard drives frequently, at least once a week. Do Disk Cleanup. And you can have certain software for junk file removal and registry cleaner.

Can you read this text?
¿ʇxǝʇ sıɥʇ pɐǝɹ noʎ uɐɔ
There is nothing special but... I like the way how David Faden can create this small tool which you can use to flip the text you typed. You can type anything you want and this tool will invert them.The flip text generator is a single page, single click service that flips or, in other words, inverts the text you type in as input. Also, since the encoding of the flipped text is UTF-8, it would display properly in most places. That is to say, there would not be any errors as in the case of the Japanese or Chinese language.

How to find the IP address of the sender in Gmail
When you receive an email, you receive more than just the message. The email comes with headers that carry important information that can tell where the email was sent from and possibly who sent it. For that, you would need to find the IP address of the sender. The tutorial below can help you find the IP address of the sender. Note that this will not work if the sender uses anonymous proxy servers.
Finding IP address in Gmail:
1.Log into your Gmail account with your username and password.
2. Open the mail.
3. To display the headers,* Click on More options corresponding to that thread. You should get a bunch of links.* Click on Show original.
4. You should get headers like this:Gmail headers : nameLook for Received: from followed by a few hostnames and an IP address between square brackets. In this case, it is65.119.112.245.That is be the IP address of the sender!
5. Track the IP address of the sender.

Rename at a time
You have a lots of photos in some folder on your computer, all have numbers-names, and you want to name them like Holliday1.jpg, Holliday2.jpg, ... Don't need to do that one by one. You can do that automatically with this little trick.
Open that folder and chose View - Thumbnails
Left click on any picture and CTRL + A. That way you will select all files in that folder.
Right click on first pic and chose "Rename" from drop-down menu.
renaming files tip
Windows XP will highlight name of that file and you will be able to name it. After filling the name, click somewhere outside, in white space. You're done. If you named firs file "Anything" all selected files will get names "Anything1", "Anything2", "Anything3", and so on.

Clean out the PREFETCH folder
Windows XP uses a system called 'prefetch' to organize and preload some of the data necessary for commonly used applications and files. A folder called prefetch is used to store the information the operating system needs to carry out this operation.
After several months of use, the prefetch folder may become quite overloaded with older references to software and files that may no longer be in use.It's a good idea to manually empty the older files out of the prefetch folder every few months or so.
To do this: Navigate to 'c:\windows\prefetch' and delete all .
PF files that are older than a week or two.

A new way to drive traffic to your site
If you haven’t already noticed, I added a new widget to my side bar on the left hand side called Blog Rush. Blog Rush is a totally new way to drive traffic to your site and it is 100% free to sign up. The way it works is a widget is displayed on your site showing five links to other blogs at any given time. At the same time, while you are hosting those five outgoing links, somewhere, someone else is hosting your link. The best part is the blogs shown are all blogs related to your niche base on the category you choose to describe your blog as during the sign up process amongst other thing such as their constantly improving crawling technology.
Here is where it gets better, for ever pageview (refresh) on your site, that counts as one credit towards your site being shown on someone else’s blog through the Blog Rush widget। If you get 100 pageviews a day, your site will appear 100 times that day on other people’s sites। To make it even better, for every person who signs up directly as a result of your referral, their pageviews count as credits towards your site being displayed as well, and everyone they refer, down ten levels। Of course everything is free .
So what are you waiting for, sign up here
