IE Bookmarking Tip

There is a mode to quickly hit frequently accessed pages in IE. Mostly everyone bookmarks links that they visit often. When saving the bookmark, use mnemonic name (abbreviated letters) and merely entering bookmark name in address bar would direct to that page. As in picture below, I have saved Java Documentation as "jdocs" and I can just enter "jdocs" to visit it.


Smartly IE first looks up bookmarks for addressed text and shows it up.

Gmail Tip - Add attachments First

I love Gmail because of many of its brilliant features. Gmail uses AJAX technology and does its processing asynchronously allowing us to continue our work. I feel that AJAX itself gained  momentous popularity after its usher in with Gmail. Adding attachments first would make Gmail to do uploading aynchronously while we compose our mail and that saves time.
