New warning from Symantec.

My routine stroll at pc world was somewaht peaceful for several days till today.

I noticed a new warning from none other than Symantec.
"Hackers are exploiting a new, unpatched vulnerability in Microsoft Word that could allow them to take control of a victim's computer, Symantec has warned.

The zero-day vulnerability is the fourth in Microsoft's widely-used Word 2000 software that has not yet been patched, the security company said in its Security Response Warning.

A zero-day vulnerability refers to a security hole for which exploits are already available when it was discovered. This latest one affects most versions of Windows running Word, Symantec's advisory said.

"Extremely Critical"
Danish security vender Secunia ApS also reported the vulnerability, and rated it as "extremely critical," its highest-level warning. Microsoft, however, said the attacks are "very limited."

The attack comes via an infected word document, a method increasingly used by hackers for targeted attacks. If the document is opened, it installs a Trojan horse program, called Trojan.Mdropper.W, onto the computer, Lau wrote. The Trojan also puts other files on a computer that enable a hacker to control it.

Have you tasted giri-choko?

Every festival in the world, irrespective of its origin has spread to various parts of the world, but celebrated in a slightly different manner based on their custom and belief.

For example on Valentine’s Day, in Japan and Korea, women, and less commonly men, give candy, chocolate or flowers to people they like. Here the chocolate is known as giri-choko in Japan, from the words giri (obligation) and choko, a common short version of chokorēto meaning chocolate.

This contrast with honmei-choko, which is given to a person someone loves or has a strong relationship with. Friends, especially girls, exchange chocolate that is referred to as tomo-choko; tomo means friend in Japanese.

In Chinese Culture, there is a similar counterpart of the Valentine's Day. It is called "The Night of Sevens", on the 7th day of the 7th month of the lunar calendar; the last one being August 30, 2006. A slightly different version of this day is celebrated in Japan as Tanabata, on July 7th on the solar calendar.

In Persian Culture (Iran) this popular date is discreetly celebrated by most lovers despite the disapproval of such occasion by the hard line Islamic government as a copycat of the West.

In parts of India, youth celebrate Valentine's day, possibly influenced by western media and corporations.

But however different it may be, one thing is common among all and that is giving some form of Valentines Baskets to the loved ones.

Valentine’s Day gift baskets are the perfect way to show your love or say “I’m thinking of you” on Valentine’s Day!

The wind and water.

Feng shui (pronounced "fung shway") is the ancient Chinese practice of placement and arrangement of space to achieve harmony with the environment. The literal translation is "wind and water".

Feng shui is a discrete Chinese belief system involving a mix of geographical, religious, philosophical, mathematical, aesthetic, and astrological ideas. It literally means "wind (feng) and water (shui)", and is not simply a decorating style, but a discipline with guidelines compatible with many different decorating styles.

The source of the term is purported to come from the Burial Book written by Guo Pu in the Jin Dynasty. Qi rides the wind and stops when it meets the boundary of water. The ancients manipulate Qi so that it did not dissipate, and directed it so that it was retained. For this reason this art is called Feng Shui.

Although people aren't usually described as having good or bad feng shui themselves, believers in feng shui say that certain people by force of personality or visual appearance are able to add or subtract from the feng shui of their surroundings.

What is Zoning?

Zoning is a North American term for a system of land-use regulation. The word is derived from the practice of designating permitted uses of land based on mapped zones which separate one part of a community from another. Zoning regulations fall under the police power rights governments may exercise over real property.

In practice, zoning is used as a permitting system to prevent new development from harming existing residents or businesses. Zoning is commonly controlled by local governments such as counties or municipalities.

Let me not bore you with more detailed legal procedures involving zoning and land use.

Very few law firms take up cases of zoning and land use. But the New York based top legal firm simmons jannace & stagg are considered to be experts in such matters.

The firm that began as a litigation firm focusing on commercial and general liability litigation, now have a full pledged team of lawyers who also practice in other legal areas that include labor and employment , securities law, zoning and land use, and environmental law to name a few.

Many Fortune 500 clients entrust their disputes to Simmons, Jannace & Stagg because of their expertise and experience, and also because they are widely recognized as a firm that thinks “outside the box.”

Fre fonts from urban fonts.

Yes, this website Urban Fonts offers free fonts of all sizes and shapes.

A big amazing collection of free fonts and free dingbats with over 8,000 freeware fonts are available.

I used to wonder how to make use of these free fonts in our PC. Urban fonts solves this for us.
Here is their step by step instructions:
How do I install a font for Windows?
Before you install any fonts, make sure that all your applications are closed.

• Go to Start > Control Panel
• Double-click the Fonts folder.
• Browse in your hard drive for the fonts you wish to install.
• Select the fonts that you want to install and drag them into your fonts folder.

One can download lot of Dingbats too. (By the way what are dingbats?)

I looked up in wikipedia and it says, "Dingbat is the name of a board game that was devised by Paul Sellers and is currently manufactured by Ravensburger. The game, for two or more people, involves solving rebuses (puzzles in which a common word or saying is hidden in a cryptic or otherwise unique arrangement of symbols).

Why the best tourist places are always on the beach?

Palm Beach, Hawaii, Cancun, Caribbean Islands, the list goes on.

Every other travel site features enchanting seaside pictures and sunny little islands.

I could not figure out why such importance is given to seaside resorts and vacation rentals. However, I do like all those water sports and night games that are available in those exotic places.

Another advantage of taking an all inclusive vacation like cancun all inclusive offered by vacations.net is the deal includes everything such as luxurious accommodation, great views, water sports, exciting night activities etc.

To lure maximum number of tourists, vacation.net is promising its customers that they can save up to 50% on all their expenses-that is a hefty one.

Their latest website is loaded with great search facility which they call it as ‘customized booking engine’. Yes, I too tested it and it was really fun and fast.

For savvy travelers, paradise is always just a click away.

Declining flower sales in North America.

Don’t get alarmed by the title though it is true that since 1998, traditional bouquet selling shops have lost much of their sales (20%) to online florists.

One can attribute several reasons for this but to me, the major reason being information on different flowers for different occasions that are published in online flower shops. This shows a genuine concern for customers and not merely selling their products.

Flowers have various different meanings in different cultures. The holidays and events for which flowers are used vary. For example Poppies are used to remember fallen soldiers only in England and the Commonwealth countries.

The cultural meaning of colors also strongly affects the choice and use of flowers. People often prefer flowers that are associated with their ethnic group or country, and various colors may have special meanings of luck or death or love or other basic human traits.

A flower such as a red rose might to some mean love, but to others it might be considered indecent or simply puzzling. The vastly divergent views on the color white can lead to major flower issues.

White is viewed as standing for death in many Asian cultures but is considered a symbol of purity and innocence in many European and American cultures. Such differences can lead to difficult issues when a bouquet of white lilies, for example, is delivered.

In this aspect alone, online florists like Teleflora score over typical flower selling shops.

FlowerShop.com is a family-owned floral company with almost 35 years of experience in the flower industry.

Teleflora’s much sought after gift baskets, gourmet baskets, corporate gifts are invariably delivered on the same day.

Want to know the present contests in the internet?

It may not be for every one for certainly for habitual contestants who are always interested in entering every type of free online contests.

This site blogs about various contests being held across several sites.

The author says, "Let me know if you are organizing a contest or if you have come across such a site and I’ll blog about it here".

Though there are plenty of posts in the past, but of late not much updating is taking place.
It may be due to the fact that the blog owner's notice of his intention to sell his blog.

On the road frequently? Travelers can enter their travel information and find matches anywhere they go. No more sitting in a lonely hotel room in a strange city, get out and meet the locals or fellow travelers.

Probably I am not alone in asking that question.

A little bit of Marine Electronics information.

For a lay man, marine electronics means radar, digital compass, binoculars and some other bits and pieces of gadgets.

But there are more to it gentleman! I suppose you can learn more about a few other gadgets such as ‘Depth Finder’ and ‘Fish Finder’.

A fish finder is essentially a sonar device that is used to measure the amount of fish at various depths in the ocean bed. It also helps the fisher man to identify the species of a caught fish, so it is also known as a fish identifier.

A fish finder is a type of fathometer, both being specialized types of echo sounding systems, a type of Active SONAR. The fish finder uses active sonar to detect fish and 'the bottom' and displays them on a graphical display device, generally a LCD or CRT screen.

See the picture.

Raymarine Fish Finder

The technology:

In a generalized sense, an electrical impulse from a transmitter is converted into a sound wave by the transducer, called a hydrophone, and sent into the water. When the wave strikes something such as a fish, it is reflected back and displays size, composition, and shape of the object. The exact extent of what can be discerned depends on the frequency and power of the pulse transmitted.

Like fish finder, there is another device called Chart Plotters. Now with the advent of computer interfaced multipurpose fish finders combining GPS technology, digital chart-plotting, perhaps radar and electronic compass displays in the same affordable sporting unit.

One browse through all these type of marine electronics devices in the web site of North Eastern Marine Electronics that also sells for camping, hiking, hunting, fishing boating, and driving.

A more curious person can also see a large collection of Standard Horizon electronics and Raymarine and fish finders, high-tech GPS chart plotters and Garmin Marine Electronics and electronic fishing tools like Furuno Fish Finders and Garmin Marine Electronics.

Ask a gadget lover and he will tell you quite a lot more North Eastern Marine Electronics.

Play pre-recorded videos on instant messengers.

While reviewing the submissions to my web directory today, this website caught my attention because of the above title. If you are reading this blog post, then I assume you are also attracted by the subject line.

The site says:
" Webcam Simulator simulates a virtual software webcam in your PC and allows you to use it as a real webcam. Without even having a physical webcam, you can play pre-recorded video, in your favorite IM or video chat software. It can even broadcast one single to all the messengers at the same time".

It enables you to:

• Play pre-recorded videos without even having a physical webcam.

• Shared your video clips with family and firends through your instant messengers.

I have a webcam so I did not try out this.

They have some more products also such screen recorder and video converter.

I am not a technically savvy person. If you are, then you can try these.

Business Process Outsourcing.

Based now in Madras, India, I have been watching with great interest about the growth of BPO companies in India and especially those who offer SEO services and link building services.

I am somewhat sad to notice that most of the companies are not located in Madras. Please ignore my feeling as childish. I am proud to be an Indian always.

As a web directory owner, I come across several submission from SEO companies in India to get listed in my directory free of cost.

Today I happen to review Consystentinfo, a Bangalore based company that is offering offshore data entry, document management and financial services outsourcing services.

They say they are well versed in finance, engineering design & CAD solutions, virtual staffing & payroll, medical transcription, quantitative & market research, and data/document management.

I wonder what is meant by 'quantitative & market research'!

It seems they are capable of delivering with a very good strength of 60 employees and 150 consultants.

Belisi Necktie Club offers 90% off.

The Palm Beach’s proud man Peter Belisi has launched his Necktie Club and on this occasion, he is offering 90% off plus a free gift.

Not only that gentleman, as an additional bonus, you can enjoy his designer’s fashion or choose your necktie pattern every month which will be home delivered to you.

I don’t think Belisi Fashions doesn’t require any elaborate introductions. Belisi—a name already synonymous with beauty—has earned a loyal following for its high-end, quality ties, and most recently scarves and handbags.

The Belisi Brand was founded to enhance luxury wardrobes, while making the world a little brighter for everyone.

Put simply, Belisi stands for good living: great style, quality accessories and giving back to the community.

Sophisticated shoppers, show world celebrities and diplomats of America present a polished picture to the world by wearing hand made silk ties of Belisi’s brand.

Why don’t you join Belisi’s Necktie Club and enjoy his special invitation to try luxurious Belisi hand-made silk neckties at a fraction of the regular retail price?

My impressions on Loudlaunch.

Please get me straight. Though I did not expect a big bang like other players in this field, I truly thought it would create some ripples in the blog advertisers world.

But all I was able to do was to complete two assignments. I agree I did not log in for a few days because of other commitments. When I logged in today, I saw an increase of offerings but when I was about to click on one of them that suited me, I saw notice that posting has been stalled due to limited budget.

But the comparing nature of human got the better of me and here I am writing my opinion.
May be I should give more time for loudlaunch.com but one thing I must appreciate is their customer service. I get replied always within 24 hours.

I pray for their success because their success means my happiness.

Free maths worksheets.

I hit a jackpot today.

I stumbled on to a web site that is going to be very helpful to me.
The maths teacher in me never failed to appreciate free services that are helpful to students.

I went over several worksheets and was pleased to note that they are fun and interactive too.

Sign up to receive gold and silver market news.

I am not exaggerating mates; as a small time investor, I have subscribed to several investment newsletter but the one I receive from Monex on the price of gold and silver with highlights of the "what, where, why and how much" on the precious metals market is simple astounding.

I have heard many investors agree with me on one point; that is the general news we see every day is not exactly feeding sufficient investment advice.

Have you done a click auditing?

My first pay per click advertisement campaign was big flop.

My second such campaign landed me in financial turmoil.

My third was taken up after I read several articles on PPC management but again I managed to lose money.

I was at my bitter most and just could not fathom what else I could do.

At this time I stumbled upon a term called ‘Click Auditing’.

Click Auditor monitors the activity on your ppc accounts and provides you with detailed reports on all suspicious activity.

When Click Auditor catches any fraud activity, you will be notified by email. You will be able to download detailed logs to provide to the ppc engines as part of your campaign to stop the fraud on you.

KeywordMax who is offering this service says with Click Auditor you will see:

Suspicious IP's:

If someone is clicking on your words over and over again, you will see it with the suspicious IP report.

Geographic Activity:

If all of your sales are from North America, but you are getting high click volume from Uganda - you'll see it in the Geographic report.

Click Spikes:

Words with unusual click activity or words with declining conversion rates can be good indicators of fraud.

Competitor Tracking:

Tell us your competitor's IP address and we'll track each time that pesky competitor clicks on your ad!

They threw me a surprise when I contacted them to explain my plight. I was warned that competitors and even search engine affiliates may be clicking on your links - driving up your click costs, but not your sales. I really got the shock of my life when read that.

KeywordMax a division of Direct Response Technologies, Inc. is an affordable service that is designed specifically for keyword tracking, click auditing, and keyword bid management.

At present, I am raising funds to engage their precious services.

A freewares terminal.

I love gaining knowledge about freewares and this is one blog I very frequently visit.

Click on Best Freeware Blog and you will know its importance and usefulness.

The blogger blogs in various categories such as:
* Plug ins - Extensions
Firefox
Internet Explorer
WinAmp
* Software
Adware Removers
Anti Virus
Business
Accounting & Stock
Organizer
Database Tools
Desktop
Developer Tools

The list is quite big; I have only give a few here.

The blog was introduced to me by sister who maintains her own blog on computer and internet.

All the posts are simple and made straight without much preliminaries.
A very good blog for you to share it too.

The Red Ferret Journal.

It is my favorite pastime browsing through websites that talks about cool web sites and services.

In fact that is my inspiration to start this blog on those lines.
I have catalogued my such web sites like my blog and today I have added one more to my growing library.

The Red Ferret Journal is a weblog (or online magazine, your call) which looks at gadgets, software, web sites and trivia in what is hopefully a fun and offbeat way. You won’t find coverage of every single MP3 player or mobile phone launch listed here - for that type of comprehensive reporting you need to visit the excellent Gizmodo or Engadget sites - but you will be able to read about important, unusual or downright bizarre technologies, products and events from around the world and beyond.

They take pride on two things:
a) giving early warning on potentially important new technologies and trends and
b) on digging out the weirdest, silliest and most arcane news from around the world.

I found an interesting title that made me curious. It is about the food that heals.

Bookmark this website if you like.

Of Teens and Trucks.

What invaluable information provided by GEICO for concerned parents when their teenager son takes their first test drive of the truck.

Apart from giving all of us free online car insurance quote, carinsurnace.com is pleased to bring to your attention the brochure developed by GEICO with American Moving and Storage Association, that imparts valuable information for teens on how to safely share the highway with large trucks.

For an in depth information on teen safe driving, please pay a visit to grico.com/auto/safety

I give below some of the salient points.

* Stay out of a truck's blind spots or "No Zones."

* Be careful when attempting to pass a truck.

* Do not swerve in front of a truck or cause the driver to come to a sudden stop.

* Avoid "Squeeze Play" when a large truck needs to make a wide turn.

* Do not cut off a large truck or passenger bus.

Of course, these tips are applicable to all ages and GEICO provides the materials at no cost to families, driving classes, law enforcement officials and state agencies.

The role played by CarInsurance.com is laudable. CarInsurance.com's online insurance marketplace gives an opportunity to consumers the ability to shop for car insurance online.

If paradise had an address this would be it.

I just received a lengthy email from my sister-in-law living in Virginia.

This is an unusual email in the sense it was sending off fragrances of happiness and joy and pride.

She narrated her experience of her Hawaii vacation. She started the email with subject “If paradise had an address this would be it”

She also sent several photos exhibiting some of the finest looking beaches and the Hawaii Condo, where she stayed.

She also mentioned about the Hale Nani Loa Maka Penthouse of the gebhartproperties.com which is most sought after vacation rental place because of the most panoramic view it offered.

She was very vivid in her description of Anaehoomalu Bay (locals call it A-Bay) on the Kohala Coast in the North, as the most striking places in Hawaii, with inviting gold sandy beaches and ancient fish ponds surrounded by a majestic grove of palm trees.

The penthouse has three bedrooms, each with private bath, private elevator access and is located a short three minute walk from the beautiful Kolea Ocean Club and only five minutes’ walk from fabulous Anaeho’ omalu Beach.

She also had unforgettable experience of seeing the turtle-cleaning station.

Finally she advised to browse their website and go over the Hawaii residential real estate and see for myself why their Hawaii vacation homes are incomparable to others.

Yahoo’s new acquisition.

So what if yahoo has added one more Web 2.0 application to its growing collection?

Does it affect in anyway the bloggers like me? Probably not but a news is still a news!

Social network MyBlogLog has been bought by Yahoo for an estimated $10-12M. This adds to Yahoo's collection of trendy Web 2.0 apps - they can pop the MyBlogLog folks in with Flickr and del.icio.us.

For bloggers, MyBlogLog lets you literally see your readers - and it's amazing how much of a difference putting a face (or icon or avatar) to a reader is. It actually makes it a real community, because you begin to recognize and know people.

As of now, MyBlogLog is mainly used by techie bloggers - but that's because it's such a new product and only early adopters have jumped on it.

In mybloglog.com readers can become friends with other people who read your favorite blogs. See what else they're reading. Check out their MySpace and Friendster profiles and view their Flickr photostreams. Authors can learn more about their readers individually and as a group. What do they like and what are they ignoring? What are they reading elsewhere on the Web?

MyBlogLog enables you to take advantage of your existing presence on the Web and ties it into communities of like-minded readers and authors to add context to the conversations in which you take part.

My blog has been approved by Loud Launch.

Do you remember my earlier post about the new paid to blog opportunity offered by loudlaunch.com?

I am very happy today to notice that my submitted blog was approved by them and I completed one assignment already.

I foresee many advertisers will utilize loudlaunch’s link building campaign because advertisers' with can create campaign's starting at just $50. Of course they should be aware of the fact that the reach of a campaign is determined by the campaigns budget. Obviously a higher budget allows more bloggers to distribute the news.

Also this opportunity offered by LoudLaunch is a great boon for bloggers to earn extra a few bucks for their blogging skill.

The website is neatly laid out with pleasing colors and the script is somewhat different when compared to other players in the same field but definitely user friendly.

I understand they approve the blog post in 24 hours and the payment is through paypal only.

I will continue to update about my experience with them.

I earned the wrath of my sister.

We are separated only by 3 years. In terms of time, there it may not mean much but it mattered when she saw many young men at my back when we were studying in college.

I meant to say that my slim physique attracted second glances but I was sad for my rather bulky sister. Not that she was obese but her bust was really bothersome at the young age.

I recently asked to her visit the web site of Eris Apparel which displays clothes that are made specifically for large busted, but not full figured women.

My sister was furious at me when she read that it is for those with an unusually large breast (D-G cup sizes). She insisted she never required those sizes. She demanded an unconditional apology from me but all in good spirit only.

Eris, LLC / Eris Apparel was founded by Mandy Farrow.

Wonderful gift generator.

Everyone faces this problem on occasions and events-what gift to buy?

I used to spend a lot of time going over my head all sorts of goodies considering the person and the occasion.

I stumbled on to this unique web site that generates gift ideas after asking you to choose the type of person to whom you want to present a gift, his/her age, your budget and the gender.

Then it lists out myriad gift ideas, where you can get each, where you can compare its price and so on. There are over 2,300 suggestions that include such varied choices as 'Print your own free novelty voucher', 'hot air balloon ride with champagne' and 'sponsor a goat for a 3rd world family'.

I tested the software and found it very interesting and pretty useful too.

GiftGen.com is the creation of 2 college friends both now in their mid-thirties. The site has been over 18 months in development, which has involved much researching of gifts, web-sites and stores.

GiftGen was featured in the 'Best new websites' section of 'Web User' magazine (Dec 2006).

Share it friends.
