How To Print The E-Mail from Gmail – Tip

April 11th, 2011 joy

To print the mail we don’t need to copy the content to doc/notepad and print them. Gmail makes it easy to print the email message with an option.

To print the whole email message,open the email and click on the “Reply” button in the top right corner of the email.This opens a drop down with links, click on Print in it.


A new window/tab will open in the browser with the Gmail logo and the email message content. The print dialog box will also open immediately from which we can print the email.

Twitter has become the top happening place of social media.Twitter is becoming better and better.Recently twitter has also released the New twitter design and features which sounds good.But Still there are few good features missing.

One important feature which I would consider is to see people whom I follow are following me back.This feature is still missing in Twitter.But friendorfollow fills that gap.Using friendorfollow  we can find the friends who are not following us back.

FriendFollow

There is one indirect way to check if someone is following us back through New twitter layout.If the Message button is visible in the profile page of your friend than he is following you back or else he is not your mutual friend.

How to override the DNS locally ?

March 21st, 2010 Kathirvel KG

Problem:

I was wondering how to override the DNS locally. There is a server in my network having static IP and has a registered Domain name. My local network doesn’t allow me to connect to internet and the server is part of my network, so how do I connect to this server using the same domain name instead of LAN IP or system name.

Solution:

  1. Goto ‘Drivers’ folder inside the system32 folder. “C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers“
  2. Open ‘etc’ folder “C:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc“
  3. Open the ‘hosts’ file in wordpad
  4. At the end of this file you will find this  “127.0.0.1       localhost“
  5. Now enter the LAN IP of the server and the domain name of the server separated by ‘TAB’ eg., 10.35.68.8          www.yourserver.com
  6. Now you can ping and test the connectivity.

When you do this you are just bypassing the DNS.
