Gibraltar runway and the road

I wanted to write about this unique thing in Gibraltar from a long time. The Run way. The small run way is also used as a road connecting Gibraltar to Spain. For the flights to land and takeoff the road is closed.

Pictures speak better

Car


Plane




People


And then you watch flight accident investigation on tele and those small things causing the accidents etc. Little scary but unique.

Unsecured Content - wave.google.com

Google Chrome has this cool Omnibar with https in Green font along with padlock to inform if the website is secure or not.

Remember all those HTTP links included in the HTTPS pages throwing a lot of warnings if you are not careful with the web site design.

Looks like wave is not an exception

Itz Virus time

Had mail from a couple of people related to two different viruses. Looks like something happening out there.

One regarding the virus attacking NASA and google servers. Spent a couple of minutes on google and looks it it is a new virus.

Another friend sent me regarding a POST CARD virus from Hallmark.

I appreciate people sending these mails. Ofcourse it is better to be safe than sorry. However it might be worth checking if the alert was genuine and not spam.

Itz Monday, Itz Virus day and Itz a busy day.

google adSence and Gaming

Was thinking of putting google ads on my blog. When I went through Google AdSense Program Policies, there was something interesting.

Under the 'Content Guidelines' it mentions that the content should not include "Gambling or casino-related content"

That's my job, how can I avoid content related to Casinos. I have been working in gaming for more then 6 years now.

We don't call it Gambling, we call it as Gaming.


One thing to be happy was the 6th bullet item in the list. I was expecting it to be 2nd item after pornography.

No ads on the blog for some more time :)

New priority inbox from gmail

First thing I do in the morning is to check the mails and flag the mails according to importance and actions needed.

Google introduced priority inbox, which sorts the mail according to priority based on different criteria.

Thatz lovely isn't it.

I am already using the conversation view, which is very useful at times. Now need to find a way how to do this for my outlook.

Looks great
