Search Specific Type of Files [filetype:extension search]

2006-01-01T01:03:00.000-08:00

You might all be familiar with google phrase search. Yes, queries enclosed between quotes is a phrase. example is "how to use the ipod". Recently google allows users to enter the same query in how-to-use-the-ipod form too.
Thus latest "BSNL broadband tariff" and latest BSNL-broadband-tariff are same.
( NOTE: no space between hyphens in a phrase search )

That being said, let us combine a phrase with google filetype queries.
The filetype query is one in which we specify the search to required filetype we want. Usually we know pdf has lot more data powerpoint files with pps filename extension is fun etc.
Try the interactive search Click Google Search. Do come back here to search if u hate entering filetypes etc. Happy Clicking!

This can be quite useful sometimes, say

* when u are searching for information on a latest topic for your seminar or presentation.
* if you're interested to know what people are doing with ASP.NET, you can use filetype:aspx". E.g. [ filetype:aspx users directory ]
* to get source code of program in c or c++. E.g. [ filetype:cpp quicksort ]
* to get funny ppt slides or flash files etc

Common Google filetypes are
PowerPoint (.ppt) filetype:ppt
PowerPoint Show (.pps) filetype:pps
Excel (.xls) filetype:xls
Word documents (.doc) filetype:doc
Adobe Acrobat (.pdf) filetype:pdf
Adobe Postscript (.ps) filetype:ps
Rich Text Format (.rtf) filetype:rtf
Text Files (.txt) filetype:txt
C Program files (.c) filetype:c
C++ Source Codes (.cpp) filetype:cpp
Shockwave Flash filetype:swf

We can also combine filetype searches like
"social-bookmarking" filetype:pdf OR filetype:doc

Unable to get IP in gmail from emails from gmail

2005-12-30T03:31:00.000-08:00

In gmail to view the time or date a message was sent, or to view the email address of the person who sent you a message, click 'More options' and then click 'Show original.' This displays the full header of a message.

Learn to read full email headers

Email headers determine where a message is sent, and records the specific path the message follows as it passes through each mail server. To follow the path of a message chronologically, read from the bottom of the header, and work your way up.
Gmail Help Page

I have noticed a strange behavior in this. If I am getting mail from a gmail id , I am unable to get the IP address of the sender as documented.
Example

X-Gmail-Received: 2bba1a28b5627a1cb6bb4638c70a2d9ee53c7c52
Received: by 10.64.193.18 with HTTP; Fri, 30 Dec 2005 02:56:44 -0800 (PST)

Date: Fri, 30 Dec 2005 16:26:44 +0530

10.64.193.18 refers to some internal google ip ( not the ip of sender.

Google Themed Ads for Christmas

2005-12-21T22:00:00.000-08:00

Whenever themed ad units are available, google adsense display them only to users in the appropriate locations, as determined by user IP address. For example, Fourth of July-themed ads would be visible only to users located in the U.S., while users throughout the world might see ads with a New Year's Eve theme.

You can enable or disable themed ad units by following these steps:
>Log in to your account at www.google.com/adsense.
>Go to the My Account tab.
>On the Account Settings page, scroll down to the 'Ad Type Preferences' section and click 'Edit.'
>Depending on your preference, check or uncheck the box next to 'Enable themed ad units when available.'
>Click 'Save changes.' Your selection will apply to all your AdSense ad units.
