No Blogging

      As I got engaged with a few personal activities, I would not be able to spend much time for blogging in the coming days. You can expect to see my blogs early next month by when I will be back from this vacation.

      Also do expect the Monthly Make-up of WOW to be right on time.

Fast Flip

WOW 56 - Fast Flip

     It is sometime in the previous weeks that Google had come up with a Google Lab feature called Fast Flip.

What Fast Flip Does?

     How many of you read Online Newspapers and Magazines and feel bored because it takes a hell lot of time to scroll through the pages? Well, most of them must feel this way. Google Fast Flip does this really really fast. You just have to visit this site.

     As of now, Google Fast Flip has sources from 39 different News Channels. Check out the list of all of Google's Fast Flip sources here.

     Google just amazes me everyday by giving so many many things. Way to go Google.

Taking a Break

         I'm taking a break today. No WOW articles and most probably no blogging/ tweeting too. Will return again on Monday.

True Education

    Something that I want to share in my blog reg. "True Education". Robert Frost is to be thanked for this.

Captcha

WOW 55 - Captcha

      Today we shall see what is meant by Captcha. If you have seen an image as shown below, it means that you know what a Captcha is.

      The purpose of Captcha is to avoid spam. In the picture above, the words "inget" is a captcha. The official definition of Captcha: "A CAPTCHA is a program that protects websites against bots by generating and grading tests that humans can pass but current computer programs cannot."

      The term "CAPTCHA" (based upon the word capture) was coined in 2000 by Luis von Ahn, Manuel Blum, Nicholas J. Hopper (all of Carnegie Mellon University), and John Langford (then of IBM). It is a contrived acronym for "Completely Automated Public Turing test to tell Computers and Humans Apart." 

      Hope this information helps. To visit CAPTCHA's official site, follow this link: http://tinyurl.com/3pkrd. Here you can learn how to add CAPTCHA to your own site.

Error - Excel 2000

       An error that I found in Excel 2000. Yup, I use it for Excel programming with VB6 DLL's. Damn compatibility issue with higher version of Excel. Check the screenshot which displays '%USERNAME%' instead of the actual username.
