you would have seen the flickr photos as 3D wall. the new website called taggalaxy.de shows the photos of flickr as galaxy theme. all the photos are categorized according to their tag name. you select a tag or type new one, it will fetch and will show you that tag's globe as the main central big planet and all the other related categories as small planets around that big one. so you can choose further sub categories tags.


example: you choose "HOUSE" as the initial category, and then it will show HOUSE as a big globe and around it there will be small planets named BUILDING, SKY, TREES, BLUE, LIGHT, ARCHITECTURE, HOME, WINDOW...etc. then you select ARCHITECTURE so it will become HOUSE+ARCHITECTURE. and then so on...


when you reach to your final choice of tag. then click on the main central big globe. it will come in front of your screen and then the site will fetch all the photos for the related tag from the flickr and they will start to land and stick on the globe group wise.


you can turn the globe right-left, up-down with your mouse. and can zoom it with your mouse wheel. click on the photo. it will come in front and further click will so it's detail provided by flickr. and it will show the link of the flickr page also, where it is situated.

Multi-user aspects of the Standard Version

The version of TypeFaster Typing Tutor that is installed can be set when the installer is run.

Single-user This is for one user on one computer.

Multi-user This is for several users on one computer. For example, each of your family members can have their own login. The settings and progress of each user is stored.

Multi-user with teacher support This version is designed for use in a school. It must be installed in one place only, for example in a shared, writable network folder. Ideally in its own fairly small partition but with some space for new users. In this version there are two types of users: ordinary users and users with teacher privileges.

When ordinary users (pupils) login, they must select a teacher. The pupil will then get the lesson files that that teacher specified. So there should be a teacher's name for each different set of lesson files. An example of a teacher's login name is:
'Mr Smith'
If Mr Smith teaches typing to two different grades then he should create a different login for each grade, so for example, he could then create two users with teacher privileges:
'Mr Smith's Grade 8s' and
'Mr Smith's Grade 9s'
and give them different lesson files.

About the Accessible Version

The accessible version is for visually impaired or blind users. It uses the excellent, free, text-to-speech engine: Flite, to provide continuous voice support. Currently, only the US-English keyboard layout is supported.

yahoo mail provides a service Yahoo! AddressGuard, to create and use many of the free Disposable email. it's not fake email kind of thing. you can actually use the same email address for receiving the mails.

How to create?

Go to Mail options -> Spam -> Set up a disposable
or in Yahoo Mail Classic Options -> Mail -> AddressGuard

format: Basename-keyword@yahoo.com

The Basename is the unique ID other different from your Yahoo ID. which should be available for you to use. Basename will be the same in all of your disposable email address which you will create.
keyword will be differ for every new disposable mail address. For instance, if you are creating an address to receive an email newsletter from Widget Designs, your keyword could be "widget" or "widgetdesigns". and then you can set the folder where those mail should be delivered. you can also send mails using this new mail address by checking on "Allow messages to be sent from this address".

when ever you start getting spam through any of your disposable addresses, just delete the address. and can say bye to spam.

How it is more meaning full then using gmail plus sign for filtering spam?

in gmail you have to use your running gmail id and then you concatenate a new keyword with "+" sign. the spammers can split up it easily and can use your running gmail address easily. but in case of yahoo disposable mail address, they can not remove the remaining word after "-" in your mail address. they have to use it full. otherwise you can't receive the mail. so it is much meaning full.
