My First Google Chrome Extension

yesterday i have uploaded my first Google chrome extension to the official extension gallery that was opened for public few days ago.
say hello to Chrome MineSweeper :D

i know that some will say that mine sweeper is not some thing that you will use every day.. and i agree to some extent with but if you really understood this game you will find it really addicting .. i remember the first time i played it i finished the advanced board in 9 min !!!! but after some time my speed increased dramatically and i finished with this scores.

• Small Board : 6 seconds
• Medium Board : 41 seconds
• Large Board :  135 seconds

which aren't a world class records :) but still makes me proud :D


any way ,
hope you like the extension ...
and please don't hesitate to leave your feedbacks and/or comments here.

get your hotmail emails in gmail

Hotmail finally after a very long time have enabled pop3 for free so you can get your emails in any mail client that support pop3 protocol..
However , i wanted to forward my emails to my Gmail account so here is how u can do it ( don't worry you don't have to know what is pop3 to follow this tutorial :D )

• open settings >> account tab
• select "add email account you own"
• enter ur hotmail accout email address and click next step
• fill the data in the form that will appear as following

user name : yor complete email address
password : your password
pop server : pop3.live.com
port : 995

you have the option to leave a copy in hotmail account or delete it.....it is better to use ssl when retrieving mail as it is more secure...
gmail also enables you to create a label for the incoming mail and you can also achieve it..
click on add account and you are done :) .
gmail will also give u the option to send mail from your account , you can follow the instructions to do such thing...

after that you might found a new 300 emails in ur inbox ...dont panic !!! gmail have just download your whole hotmail inbox..you can then delete or achieve this messages.

it is worth mentioning that the main drawback for using this way that u might not recieve your emails at the same instant they were sent to your hotmail inbox as Gmail checks new messages at different rates, depending on previous mail fetch attempts and you cant control this rates...

Search Google in 2001 !!!

the Giant Company Google is Celebrating it's 10th Birthday, and in the honor of this occasion Google will give you a one month chance to search entries found in their old index (January 2001) where

"ipod" didn't refer to a music player, and "youtube" didn't refer to much of anything. !!!

the search page is found here.

Another thing is that it's not 100% like that of 2001 results as they have removed some sites also you will not find ads in search pages.

also when you search for a page you can see it's old archived version by clicking "View old version on the Internet Archive ", for more information see this FAQ page.
