Gmail’s Cool Attachment Reminder

Did you mean to attach files?

message popped up when I clicked on the send button. Gmail predicted that I suppose to add an attachment because I had written “is attached” in my text. I found this feature very cool although I was not suppose to attach any files, because it happens; you also probably received -if not sent- many email messages with missing attachments. Really cool ha :-)

So, I immediately googled this to see when this was introduced and what others say, and I learned that this service has been there for more than two years already. Here, I also would like to share some examples other than is attached phrase that triggers the Gmail attachment reminder. Sweet.

Wireless keyboard & mouse with Nexus 7 (no root, no bluetooth, no apps)

I also am having a blast using my Logitech Wave wireless kit (K350 Wireless keyboard and M510 wireless mouse) with my Nexus 7.
I plugged the Logitech USB receiver to the OTG adapter on my Nexus 7 and boom!
No Root, no apps, no Bluetooth requirement.
It just works.
Even the Quick Keys on the keyboard like calculator, email, www actually opens the corresponding applications !
The Volume Up and Down keys as well as music buttons work too.
“CTRL A” – “CTRL C” – “CTRL V” do their thing…

USB wireless keyboards and mice work great with the Nexus 7 right out of the box !

Totally agree.

PS1. original post here.

PS2. I bought my OTG cable for 0.99$ on eBay (from a US seller).

Tantuni vs Philly cheesesteak

I went to Philadelphia last Saturday to meet a good-old friend.
And he took me a restaurant for lunch and ordered our cheese steaks.
I have always been very attracted with this famous local-named sandwich and enjoyed it.
As soon as I saw on my tray that recalled me Mersin’s tantuni (so hereby I declare Mersin and Philly as sister cities :) )
Here is the google images of the two very similar sandwiches of originally very different cuisines: tantuni vs philly cheesesteak
Try to find the seven differences in the pictures :)
And now this comparison reminded me not-so-famous- song of Baris Manco: Lahburger

WordPress, PhPBB, MediaWiki, Ajaxplorer

I recently installed several systems on our servers.

Thanks God, it was very easy and painless :)

However, it sometimes takes so much time to find a solution to a system related issue, but then I forget it easily since this is not my main job and I face the problem very rare.

So, in this category I would like to share some notes to myself. Thus, may be I can help someone who googles the problem and finds my post :)

The Psychology of Man’s Possible Evolution

I am reading The Psychology of Man’s Possible Evolution by P.D. Ouspensky. In this book, he talks about some of the most important concepts about human: psychology, inner qualities, man’s evolution, man as an automaton, self observation, self awareness, functions of machine (i.e. man), levels of consciousness, essence, personality; lying, imaginations, expression of negative emotions, excessive talking; identification, considering; categories of men…

I would like to share my slides that I had prepared in Turkish.
