G-Space Vs. Gmail Drive

I got 2 extensions or plug ins which enables to use the Gmail space to store our files.Basically both of them uploads the files into the mail account as mails which has attachments.Those attachments are the files we are uploading.Ok the idea is pretty simple.We can forward them to others also.

But which one is the better solution ???
  1. G-Space - This extension allows you to use your Gmail Space (2.8 GB and growing) for file storage. It acts as an online drive, so you can upload files from your hard drive and access them from every Internet capable system.This is what the Firefox site says about this but my idea is we should have the Firefox to use this.



  2. GMail Drive - GMail Drive creates a virtual filesystem on top of your Google Gmail account and enables you to save and retrieve files stored on your Gmail account directly from inside Windows Explorer. GMail Drive literally adds a new drive to your computer under the My Computer folder, where you can create new folders, copy and drag'n'drop files to.This is what they say about their product and I agree this works fine and it acts as an another hard disk on the machine.This only needs IE 5 or better.

Google API v3 with PHP using Blogger service

It was really hard for me to understand how the Google APIs are working at the first point and took few days for me to figure out. But after a successful working prototype it seems very easy. And also when I am searching for a simple example I was unable to find a good one that I can understand. So let me list down step by step what I have done with URLs and as simple as I can. Create a Google app location -  https://code.google.com/apis/console Switch on the "Blogger API v3" Get the latest APIs client library for PHP location -  https://code.google.com/p/google-api-php-client/downloads/list Upload the files to your host location on on localhost Extract the files to folder  named "GoogleClientApi" Create your php file outside of the folder  Copy paste following code into the file and do the changes as needed  By changing the scope and the service object you can access all the services that is given by Google APIs through the PHP API l...

My two cents on new year resolution

What is the plan for the new year ? - need to think on what are we trying achieve during next year 2018 - basically the life goals - may be personal or professional - and also it should be realistic (not something like going to Mars ;)) Why we need a plan for the new year ? - basically a goal without a plan is a DREAM - And also should be able to measure (what you cannot measure, you cannot manage) How to prepare a new Year resolution/plan ? - Leave some buffer time - Make changes during the year (life is changing/evolving) - Plan is only for you (do not share it) - When a milestone is achieved, celebrate - Try to stick to the plan - otherwise no point of planing

Assets and Liabilities as Rich Dad, Poor Dad explains

I was reading "The rich dad poor dad by Robert Kiyosaki" here is a one point that he mentions on that. Basically Asset as he says is little bit different than on books. If something puts money in your pocket it is a asset. And Liabilities are the ones that takes money out of your pocket. OK for example a house or a car may seems like an Asset but it takes money out of you pocket to maintain them. But if you rent them or make them to make money at the end of the day you can convert it to a asset. Basically that what rich people do. They buy assets. Middle class buy liabilities (thinking those are assets) and stuff (a lot of them that not used or that not needed). Lower class buy to consume (basic needs like foods).
