Goggle to stop drunken e-mails

Internet giant Google have come up with an application to block people from sending drunken e-mails to their bosses or ex-lovers. Mail Goggles can be programmed to turn on late at night and at weekend, when users are most likely to be drinking.

Before sending a message, e-mailers must answer a series of short maths questions that must be completed in a limited amount of time. Gmail engineer Jon Perlow believes the idea will help those too tired to foresee the consequences of their actions.

Bulk Upload users into LDAP Directory

In this post I am not going to talk about setting up your LDAP using OpenLDAP. There are lots of websites explaining that.

In short I can say that today I had the best dominos pizza. I was extremely excited and decided to blog about the same in my free time. After finishing the Pizzas I fed my dog took her out for a walk. I then got a call from the Dominos customer support team asking about my experience and any suggestions I had. Man! I was surprised and felt like a king. This does not happen to Indian customers every day. There is a company out there which really cares about its customers. I don't know if they called me out of the blue or if this is a new practice but any way it felt good. I am currently reading Jeff Jarvis' book "What Would Google Do?" ...
