Favourite one time email services 2007-09-02 10:39:00 Last month I posted about how to avoid spammer by using 10minute mail. Even though 10minute mail service is great, some websites already start blocking their addresses.So, here are my favourite one time email services. They are really helpful if you want to sign up for stranger websites.Getonemail : This service is very similar to 10minute mail and no one can accidentally get your email as it randomly assign from server.Mailinator : You can use autogenerated address and record it, use whenever you need again. The cons is that whoever know that email address can access your mailbox too.OneOffMail : Same as mailinator services.Enjoy these services and keep your real email address from spammer.

Google celebrate their 9th birthday 2007-09-26 23:14:42 I have been wondering when Google
will celebrate 9th birthday since the beginning of this month. But today, as in their homepage Google officially celebrate now. Why Google birthday is varying from year to year? In September 1998, Google Inc. opened its door in Menlo Park, California. The door came with a remote control, as it was attached to the garage of a friend who sublet space to the new corporation's staff of three. The office offered several big advantages, including a washer and dryer and a hot tub. It also provided a parking space for the first employee hired by the new company: Craig Silverstein, now Google's director of technology.Already Google.com, still in beta, was answering 10,000 search queries each day. The press began to take notice of the upstart website with the relevant search results, and articles extolling Google appeared in USA TODAY and Le Monde. That December, PC Magazine named Google one of its Top 100 Web Sites and Search Engines for 1998. Google was movi
