Got this info from one of myanmar bloggers I visited last nite. (I’m sorry which blog exactly I seen it from)

A new google features in testing stage. You can sign up for the invitation. I don’t use spreadsheets often but I bet it’s useful for some of you.
You can check it out here: Google Spreadsheets. (updated the link*)

This is really something…I’m checking out mayvelous and a few other sites in graph format.
This “website as a graph” site (via: weblog tools collection) generates a graph format for your websites or blogs. You just have to type in your site url and it’ll create node based sitemap graph.

Check the formation effect as well, really cool one. Something like chemistry molecular structure of your website showing links, tags, images etc in different colors.

What do the colors mean?
Blue: for links (the A tag)
Red: for tables (TABLE, TR and TD tags)
Green: for the DIV tag
Violet: for images (the IMG tag)
Yellow: for forms (FORM, INPUT, TEXTAREA, SELECT and OPTION tags)
Orange: for linebreaks and blockquotes (BR, P, and BLOCKQUOTE tags)
Black: the HTML tag, the root node
Gray: all other tags

Check out the difference between my two sites, mayvelous vs 7ven.net. See there is no red dots in mayvelous. Yah cool isn’t it? Tableless. All thanks to the squible theme developers hehe. Well, I’m planning to revamp 7ven.net soon with proper webstandard.(when I feel like it, which probably never LOL)

I’ve checked out one of my favorite sites, Fijitimes.com and it generated some cool graph for it. My bro tried google.com and the results is as followed. I was hoping lots of nodes to be generated from google but to my dismay only few nodes there, my bad, I was mistakened by google search results as site structure. Google site by itself is a very small one.

Some of the cool graphs can be found here. It’s a flickr tag page which collects all the images tagged with “websiteasgraph” keyword.

So you can check out your own sites to see in graph format and upload it to flickr tag with “websiteasgraph”.

I don’t feel like blogging lately. Not that I don’t have anything to write about, actually I got lots to write about. Just that I’m lacking motivation to type up. My random thoughts are always roaming in my head but to put them in proper wording is the problem.

One of the reasons I’m lacking motivation these days is cos’ I’m disappointed with one of my current projects.
We’re using WSS(Windows Sharepoint Services) in intranet project that I’m doing and it’s giving me such a pain and messing up my good mood.

To start of, WSS is such a pain in the god damn unspoken part. It has such a crappy user interface and a documentation. The customization is too painful and lack of good sample resources online. (I still can’t find proper sample documentation for what I’m trying to do yet). I’m struggling with it for a few weeks already and still can’t figure out much from head to tail. The whole day I sit at my desk, read, research, test, scratch my head, pull hair, curse this and that, etc etc. Not only that, I go home, thinking about WSS, I watch TV thinking about WSS, I eat, sleep, go toilet, thinking about WSS. I can’t think of other things to do but think about WSS and have unsettle feeling about unresolved things on WSS. I’m starting to get scared to go to work, to face that damn project again. God damn WSS!!!

Another reason my lack of motivation is that, I’m pretty much disappointed with my whole life situation. (yah big thing haha) There are lots of things I want to do which cannot be done. For example,
I’m disappointed with my work,
I’m disappointed with my pay,
I’m disappointed about my mentor leaving the company,
I’m disappointed about my inability to do things,
I’m disappointed that I’m a terrible programmer,
I’m disappointed about me being a bad sister,
I’m disappointed about me being an unhelpful daughter,
I’m disappointed about me being an unfriendly friend,
I’m disappointed that I’m so lazy,
I’m disappointed that I lack motivation to do things,
I’m disappointed that I can never satisfy with things,
I’m disappointed about me talking about my disappointments here,
Damn I’m so disappointed in me.

Oh well enough about my gloomy life, I’ve decided to pull myself back on track and catch things up. Hope to update my blog regularly this month and months ahead.
Thanks you for visiting here and being an understandable reader.

With Sincere Appreciations,
Gloomy May.

I’m abit disappointed in Flickr. Don’t take me wrong. I love flickr and its amazing service. I’ve been trying to buy pro account since I got lots of photos up in my free account which like to organize them with proper photo sets.

What you get:

• 2 GB monthly upload limit
• Unlimited storage
• Unlimited bandwidth
• Unlimited photosets
• Permanent archiving of high-resolution original images
• Ad-free browsing and sharing *

Which account would you like?
– A 1 year account (US $24.95), or
– A 2 year account (US $47.99)

The problem is, when I try the payment processes, everything is fine except for the country part where there is no “Fiji” to choose from.
I could leave it as default “US” but my credit card address below would be “Fiji” and it’ll be confusing…

They do have an option to pay offline via cheque or money order I think, but it will take a while to process and I don’t like to send my money like that and wait. Well, abit of user unfriendliness in payment process which put me off from buying the pro account.

I don’t understand why they can’t add all countries in the country drop-down list. They’re thinking people from Fiji can’t buy or something? Well just a bit of disappointment to see the third world countries are not included. So sad!.

I’m confused.
To my knowledge gtalk doesn’t have conference feature yet. But lately this “mmchatroom” or something added me and they doing gtalk conference with multiple users in there. I have no idea who they are and how they do it. But it’s pretty annoying things keep poping up, so I removed it from my list but every now and then it poping up with their chat conversations. I see no other way to stop receiving their chat but to block that account.
So whoever you all are, no hard feelings please, just that I have no idea what you talking about and who all those people are.

Just wondering how they did that conference. It will be nice to have gtalk conference too, but for the moment I have no idea how to make one. If anybody know how to create conference in gtalk do let me know.
Wanna try it out sometimes.

Updated:
Mark forwarded me these links about gtalk conferencing and multiple messenger service through gtalk.

Google Talk: Conference Bot

The conference bot works runs as a normal google talk user that relays everything said to it to everyone on its contact list. It supports some simple commands (like )names), and has a basic admin interface to deal with abusers. The bot is written in python, and is tested under Linux, although apparently it works fine under Windows too.

I have no idea about all those python, linux and commands stuffs work, just for your reference if you interested to try out, you can check here: Google Talk: Conference Bot.

“Connect Google Talk to AIM, MSN, & Yahoo”

Google has opened up their Google Talk servers for federation with other Jabber servers, you can use Google Talk to connect to your friends on AIM, MSN, Yahoo or ICQ. Here’s how, step-by-step with screenshots.

You can also check out this “Connect Google Talk to AIM, MSN, & Yahoo” if you’re interested to play around.

Hey there is a new feature on gmail called “Gmail Pictures”.
Instead of seeing custom photos of your contacts on gtalk program, you can now see their photos and update your photos on gmail itself.
I think it’s kinda like small pop up showing when you rollover an email or on contact names.

To enable that you have to upload your photo in Settings » My Photos and follow the steps here: How do I select my own Gmail picture?.

What are Gmail pictures?
Gmail pictures allow you to put a face to a name, by showing user-selected pictures when you roll over a name in your inbox, Contacts, or Quick Contacts list. You can choose your own photo for yourself and for your contacts, suggest a photo for a contact to use, or see what your friends have selected for themselves.

Gmail pictures can be configured to show to all users who you email or who email you, or they can be limited to only those users who are able see when you’re online. You can see a full list of users who can see your online status from the All Contacts tab of your Contacts page – they’ll be listed with a colored ball next to their name.

They’re still in the process of rolling this feature out to all users, so keep an eye out for it in your account!

I haven’t seen “My Picture” option in my mail “Settings” yet, but I’m sure it’s only a matter of time…Looking forward to that.

Updated

Just now check my account and the feature is enabled, you can see the screen shot of it as followed.
