I have registered Dr Mani’s mailing list who blog at http://guydz.com/moneypowerwisdom/

His blogs and mailing list are a great source of wisdom and inspiration.

In one of his recent emails Dr. Mani suggested 5 questions we can ask ourselves when we feel low or frustrated. I tried them and it really worked. These are the 5 questions, hope it works for you too.

 * What do I want to achieve with my work?

 * How much money do I need for this?

 * Do I need big numbers to reach this target?

 * Is what I'm doing taking me towards my goal?

 * Am I happy doing what I now do?

My answers ..

1) that, that and that.. (its a secret)

2) not much.. a million will do.

3) I guess 1 followed by 3 zeros in the box which says readers at the top right.

4) am not sure of that yet

5) but ya am happy really happy. I think thats what matters most.

It's The Journey That's Important... By John McLeod

http://www.widgetbox.com/

This websites provides a framework to make and share widgets.

A widget is a small application which can be embedded in any html page.

In my earlier cricket madi website, i had used 2 widgets .. Yahoo’s cricket scores widgets and a chat widget.

Similarly combining more widgets like the we can make cool applications. Widgetbox has a large gallery of widgets for public use.

Once we have made a widget in widget box.. we can easily share it in social networking sites like facebook, orkut etc… or blogging sites blogger etc.

WidgetBox have also introduced a new term called blidget (or at least I haven’’t heard of it till now). Blidget are blog feeds as widgets. Another feature that they provide is building facebook application.

I will try these sometime later.

I don’t  have to say much about this. Looks like the world has gone crazy about it. Writing this post just for the sake of completeness.

Google Adsense is a Ad Service. A website publisher can register to this service and show ads in his website. If a visitor clicks on the ad the publisher get some money.

Google takes the burden of going through the website and showing relevant ads which the user is most likely to click.

GooglePages is a free Website Hosting service provided by Google…

One can easily create there websites using the Google Page Creator. Its a online tool and has lots of templates to choose from.

We can also upload other files to the googlepages server.

I created the CricketMadi.com files locally and uploaded them.

Apart from the ease of use I found some shortcoming in the site..  The website name the extra googlepages.com looks bad. I think I read somewhere that we can buy our own domain name and redirect it to this site but haven’t tried it myself.

Another issue is the upload feature. It allows for only one file to be uploaded at a time. I guess it is because of the fear of Spam. But google should think of making it better.

Blogging is addictive.. So Don’t start blogging if you are not planing to stay long.

Not much to write so thought of writing what i do best. making websites ha ha ha..

Next few post will be related to websites and Internet services I used to make my first serious website.. http://cricketmadi.googlepages.com/index.html

You might have seen that i am adding this link again and again. :-). I have a feeling that this might increase my page ranking in google.

If you start chasing it.. it will start chasing you.

The blogging market is really overcrowded these days. Tried hard but not able to do much. Its not my cup of Tea I guess. I will concentrate on what I know best.. Making websites :-).

Australia v India 2007/08 season

Played at Sydney Cricket Ground on 24 February 2008 - day/night (50-over match)

Result Australia won by 18 runs

Today we were watching this cricket match online. India tried hard but lost the match.

I remember when in college we used to watch the match in our hostel tv rooms. There used to be 100 guys in front of the a small tv. Every ball was scrutinized. Run rates analyzed, Expert comments given on all aspects of game. Event the umpire was not spared :-)

Thought of putting together a small webpage with a cricket widget and a chat widget to create the same atmosphere. 

you can check it out here.

I have created a chat room called college_ka_tv_room. Join me during the next match.

Next Match: India v Sri Lanka at Hobart - Feb 26, 2008
Match scheduled to begin at 10:00 local time (23:00 GMT)

Heard the story of Alladin and Gini. Now think.. think hard.

Think you are Alladin and you are rubbing the lamp.

Now find your princess. She will help you when the evil uncle captures your Gini.
