Microsoft student champs at our faculty had organized an introductory session on Microsoft .Net framework last Saturday(25th Nov). I conducted 2 sessions there, "Introduction to .Net Framework" and "Introduction to Windows Application Development with C#".
It was organized for the Level1 Semester1 students. Nearly 50 students participated for that event. Wajira (MS Student Ambassador) also conducted a session on "Introduction to ASP Web Development ". This was the first public technical session conducted by me. It was a wonderful experience to share what I know with other.
Some wonderful prices also given away to the students at that event. Those included CD pack containing Visual Studio 2005 Standard Edition and SQL Server 2005, 5 button optical mouse and few technical magazines...
You can download the presentation I did on "Introduction to .Net Framework" here.

Are you a Firefox lover? Like to use FF without using the mouse. Most of the power users hate mouse, they want to use keyboard for every thing. I've to admit that I'm not a power user. But knowing few shortcuts can save lot of your time. These are few shortcut that you can use in FF.

To use the keyboard shortcuts hold down CTRL and press one of the following:

T	Opens a new tab and takes the focus to the new tab
O	Open Local File. This is one of the biggest changes from IE where both Ctrl-O and Ctrl-L opened a dialogue box for a URL.
L	Changes focus to the Address bar
Tab	Scrolls through the tabs from current window towards the right. Loops back to the first tab when rightmost tab is reached
1..0	The numbers 1 to 0 takes the focus to Tab 1 to 10
N	Opens a new window like IE
W	a tab or if there are no tabs, close the window
B	Open bookmark sidepanel
D	Bookmark current page
H	Brings up the history dialogue box on the right. Useful if you closed a page accidentally and forgot the URL. Or to make sure your kids are not looking at pr0n
U	Show page source
Y	Open downloads window
K	Focus goes to search bar

R	Refresh current page
F	Find in page
G	Find Again (used in conjunction with Ctrl F)
J	Page Info (same as properties in IE)
-	Decrease font size
+	Increase font size
S	Save current page to disk
P	Print current page
A	Select All

Hey would you like to use the more 2GB storage in your gmail account as hard drive from your PC....



Then Gmail Drive is what you are looking for. This is a cool solution I found while I'm surfing the net.
It creates a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Gmail account, allowing you to use Gmail as a storage medium.
Sounds interesting.... Then check this out.. GMail Drive shell extension
You can also directly download the software from softpedia

Enjoy your new 2.7GB virtual HD.....
