Playing with my Mobile to Blog.
by Sukhdev Singh 16 May '07

16 May '07

Well these days I am simply sitting at home and doing nothing. I have taken leave for three weeks for some family reason. While playing with my mobile, I thought of using it to blog. Blogger.com does offer such a facility and my blog http://sukhdev.blogspot.com is fortunately on it. To get started I had to sent an empty email to go(a)blogger.com from the phone itself. Sending email from a web based service won't work. So using Opera Mini or GMail "App" from a GPRS enabled phone won't work. My Sony Ericsson K750i does allows to send and receive mails through its own in-built client placed under its SMS menu. But it needs to be configured to a working POP / SMPT account. GMail does offers such a facility of POP account. All I wanted was the proper GMail POP setting to use it from my phone. I got these setting after Googling from my phone's Opera Mini. Once these setting was entered an email was sent to go(a)blogger.com. Within minutes I got an email providing me an URL of a new blog and a six digit code. I was supposed to enter this code at http://go.blogger.com and claim the new mobile blog created for me. I tried without success to claim the blog with the Mini Opera from my Phone. The problem was that I had to enter another verification code displayed in form of an image. My phone's browser was sending data without allowing me to enter the code. I gave up from the phone. Ultimately I could claim my mobile blog from a PC. As soon as my code was accepted, I was prompted to enter my gmail account. I entered the same and got a choice to redirect emails sent from my phone to my existing blog i.e. http://sukhdev.blogspot.com . I was ready to test my mobile blogging. I wrote an email in my phone (very similier to this) and sent it to go(a)blogger.com . The content of the email were on my blog with few seconds. --Sukhdev Singh, NIC. -- This message has been scanned for viruses and dangerous content by MailScanner, and is believed to be clean.

Libray can create Website with Google Page Creator
by Rajan 16 May '07

16 May '07

Dear All, When we think of bringing in information technology applications to the field of library services, it seems that we should begin with easiest things that can be accomplished soon without much hassles. Creation of a Website for library users with Google Page Creator can be a good proposition. Page creator allows uploading of documents upto 100MB. The site should contain materials useful for the patrons of the library and should not be a mere personal promotion attempt, if it should make any impact. You can even create site for special purposes, for short span even. A site recently created by me for Urban Local Governance is available at www.kilalibrary.net.tc and another site being developed for Distance Training on Digital Archiving is available at www.rajankila.net.tc W can make available a self - instructional guide for creation of website with google page creator, to those who require it. What we require for this useful attempt is an element of vision, readiness to work on a computer for a few hours and an internet connection, preferably broad band. Our library science schools should not refrain from focusing on such things too in their academic activities.
