Well, this is not an offer! I am not finished yet! I have many things to write about and I am lovin’ it!

But this nice widget by technorati.com is cool way to boast about the value of your site!

News on 27 March 2007 announced the unlimited storage capacity of Yahoo. Today I was welcomed by the following screen when I was logging in it.

Well, it seems it is happening for sure. Despite this big upgrade, the attachment sizes are still limited to 10MB for free accounts. I am wondering if it will bother a general user? 10MB is somewhat small when you talk about unlimited storage space. If you are compled to make maximum use of it there are software like HJsplit , a small and free software that allows you to cut a big file into small parts which can be sent as attachments in separate emails. But one needs to take considerable amount of time to send gigabytes of data with a free account.

One biggest disadvantage these email services have is that you have to log in frequently. They erase all of the emails if you fail to log in for some specified time depending upon the provider. In the long run, it’s nice that “unlimited space” is available, but common users like myself wouldn’t be able to make much use of the available space. I’ve had gmail for well over a year and have barely scratched the surface of my available space and I’ve made strides to fill it up. I have all sorts of backed up data in there. I don’t know what I will do with the unlimited space!

If you want to compare different offers other email providers have visit thisnice comparision of web based emails in wikipedia website.

If you think Yahoo is the only one to offer unlimited space and create all these hypes then you are wrong. rediff one of India’s largest email service provider has started offering unlimited storage some time back and aol is offering such service since August 2006 (Please comment if there are any others too).

I had a really big text file and I didn’t know how to open it. Then I found this small software developed by David Pye. It helped me to divide the file into smaller pieces so I can keep open them and play around with. Apart from splitting files it can do lot of other useful things with text files.

It is a simple interface with all options squezed in one small GUI. It looks like the following screenshot without much menus and toolbars.

This software can be used to edit text files the easy way. Join or split files while adding, deleting or replacing text, change to upper or lower case, capitalise all words or the start of all lines, add text to the start or end of lines, remove leading or trailing spaces, add or remove blank lines, remove text blocks, alphabetise lines in file(s), split files at specified lines or text or into a specified number of files, works on multiple files and on files of unlimited size. I wrote this for my own use after I couldn’t find a program to do what I wanted, it’s extremely easy to use with a simple interface.

Some of the tasks it can do are listed as follows:

1. Remove leading spaces and tabs.
2. Remove trailing spaces.
3. Remove all blank lines.
4. Add a blank line after each line.
5. Capitalize the first letter of each line.
6. Capitalize the first letter of each word.
7. Capitalize all text.
8. Make all text lower case.
9. Sort the lines in the file(s) alphabetically.
10. Remove text from the start of each line.
11. Remove text from the end of each line.
12. Remove text from everywhere in the file(s).
13. Add text to the start of each line.
14. Add text to the end of each line.
15. Add text in a new line after each line.
16. Remove a block of text.
17. Replace text everywhere.
18. Join multiple files and include dividers.

You can also split a file in the following ways:-

1. Into a specified number of files.
2. Every X number of lines.
3. Split at the end of specified text.
4. The first 17 editing functions can also be included when splitting a file.

The software can be downloaded from the developer’s site.

Don’t know if they are viewed by many people or not but they sure do exist. Just to test their effectiveness, I have posted in one of the free press release website. Well, it was not well-prepared and I was just testing I have created a release statement like this.

With these sites around you can release a press-release on your first love or a break-up or even a statement that your can refused to eat your most expensive pet food.

I would appreciate comments on the reader’s comment on their experience with similar sites.

I found some 23 such press release sites in this blog. Some costing as much as $2850 (that sounds promising!).
