Finally a google wave invite.

For those who don’t know, I have been hunting for a googlewave invite for the last two weeks. I tried to ask mukul, posted on life hacker thread, requested google, did this, that. Finally, today around 15 minutes ago, i got the invite.

Now for those wondering why google doesn’t make wave public, it is for good reason. The thing is definitely not ready for the world. Its got many flaws and could, in my opinion use an interface revamp

Google Wave looks like this

Here’s a screenshot of google wave. If you actually care about wave, you already know what it looks like. I won’t go into the finer details. It basically lets you have real time editable conversations. So you can edit stuff in real time. Like documents, text, anything pretty much. So you start a document, edit it, and your friends can see those edits. It has a lot of gadgets so you can make itenaries, maps, this and that all in real time

If you want an invite, register on my blog and leave a comment with your email.

Got a new phone

I got a new motorola Krzr K1 today. Its pretty cool. Decent on mp3, video, etc. The low-blo is that it doesn’t have fm radio.
With a two mp camera, I think I can ignore that.

Hiding files

This is a tutorial to hide files.

Things Required: Winrar(or compatible archiving software with rar support),  A dummy picture(JPEG) file, the required file(s) to be hidden

First of all, gather all the files you need to hide and make a rar archive(archive.rar).

Have the rar file and the dummy JPEG(pic.jpg) file in the same directory.

Open command prompt(Start>>run>>command for windows 98 and Start>>run>>cmd for XP, NT etc or open shell for linux)  and navigate to the directory with the archive.rar and pic.jpg using cd.

Now type: copy/b file.jpg+archive.rar hidden.jpg.

Hidden.jpg is the new file created in the same directory as the above two. When someone opens hidden.jpg, he will see the dummy picture you used. To unlock your previous files, rename the file to hidden.rar and open it using winrar and your original files should be there
