Companies give training to the freshers on various tools and technologies. In my opinion companies should also include the following skills in their training program.

Skills Duration Content
Orkut 2 hours Scrapping, Searching, Navigation through profiles
Gmail Chat 1 hour Chatting!, Group chat, Setting Status Messages, Invisible Mode
Keyboard Shortcuts 2 hours Shifting between Windows in a fraction of a sec, Hiding all Windows at once (very important), Closing Windows etc
Proxy 2 hours Knowledge of various tools to change your IP Address, Anonymous Proxy list
Must have Tools 4 hours Pidgin(Chat on different networks), VLC player (for playing everything), Mibbit (online IRC), Web based FTP/SSH, RapidShare, Torrent
Google (Most Important) 4 hours Different type of Query Strings, Domain Search, File Search, MP3 Search, Code Search

With Proper training of these skills companies can increase their productivity.

Delhi Emergency Number - 1077

Submitted by ravisagar on Wed, 06/25/2008 - 07:17

Capital Delhi now has a 24-hour toll free emergency help line number - 1077. Delhi Chief Minister Sheila Dikshit Tuesday inaugurated a Disaster Management Emergency Operation Centre. The centre has been set up as per the provisions of the Disaster Management Act, 2005.

The call centre is setup in North Delhi and is operative round-the-clock. It will act as a centralized helpline number accessible to all landline as well as mobile numbers.

I hope this would help people in need.

Today I came across this site http://www.mibbit.com/ for login into IRC channels from your browser. It is great for people who don't have administrative rights on their Workstation or offices where IRC ports are blocked.

Just open the link http://www.mibbit.com/ in your browser, select the channel and you are in.

Try it.
