simple HTML page redirection

 Create page index.html (or which ever is your server default page to be loaded when you access a folder)

type:

<meta http-equiv=”refresh” content=”0;URL=’http://domain.com/page-to-be-redirected-to'” />

this way when someone opens domain.com/old-location will be redirected to domain.com/page-to-be-redirected-to

With all the advertising on Facebook and Twitter this could be a breath of fresh air.

Gmail Backup

 It is great to be in the cloud

If you ever decide to cleanup your gmail and permanently delete messages from your trash maybe you will be interested to make backup of your emails first.

The free solution which worked the best for me is from mailstore.com
It is windows only but it worked great.
After making full backup of my mailbox I was able to delete any number of messages and then individually or bulk restore them back without any problem.
(it will place them in a restored folder in you gmail and then you can move them back to your inbox)

Other possible solutions for gmail backup are listed here: http://techsplurge.com/3250/5-ways-backup-gmail/

GOOGLE+

 Move to Google + or Not

to prepare make sure you have a backup 1. backup your pictures and save them from Facebook:
goto Account/ Account Settings
click on learn more next to Download your information (enter your FB password)
you will request the download and Facebook will notify you by email when it is ready
(This could take couple of hours depending on the number if pictures you have)
Once you receive the email notification you can click on the download link and save
your pictures to your computer.
(this will strip down any comments and custom names from your pictures)
