Best Websites Of 2005

Filed Under (Needlessly Messianic) by Ankur on 31-12-2005

Ah, the run-up to the new year. Let’s start off with reviewing the best websites of 2005. Yahoo! Picks brings you some pretty unusual gems, apart from the usual fare. My personal favorite, Science magazine’s list of 125 questions in science that still vex us. For all the wildlife fans, there are the amazing videos on National Geographic’s WildCam Africa. And if you are in the mood for some music, that is, testing your own (non-existent) talent in it, don’t miss Mr. Fastfinger: Guitar Shred Show.

Talking about my other favorites, do check out 10 X 10, WordCount (quiz comes in at 10745; the winner - ‘the’) and Yahoo! Netrospective. Can’t understand, visit and find out.

Happy Surfing 2005!

Some "cheat-codes" for NOKIA phones

Filed Under (Needlessly Messianic) by Ankur on 30-12-2005

I am providing you with some so called “cheat-codes” for your Nokia mobile phones. Try them, as they are really a nice time-pass.

*#06# -> IMEI Number
*#0000# -> Manufacturing Date
*3370# -> Restart your phone

If anyone knows more of them, I’d like to hear from you.

Changes in BlogThis! button editor

Filed Under (Google-y, Tech Takes) by Ankur on 30-12-2005

Thankfully, for a change, Blogger (Google) has gone in for a redesign of the BlogThis! button editor page of Google Toolbar. Though it is cosmetic, it is much more lively than the staid one which existed earlier. It makes the interface more Blogger and less of some downmarket company. Check the page out yourself.
