send free sms

I was searching for methods to send free sms for a long time...At last I found two sites.
1.cellebrum
I was actually tricked by a friend of mine.This is how it happened

One day i got an sms from a site called cellebrum saying jobinmartin your password is *******. I was amazed as I had not sent any request.After a few minutes,my friend came and said that is my password I accidently sent it to you.

So i gave him that password.
I grew suspicious of this incident,and went to the site to see that my friend had tricked me.
Now he could send messages to any mobile in my identity so that if he did any mischief I would be caught for it...

I had to find a way to get out of this tangle....how???

Internet Explorer tips PART I

Internet Explorer is the most widely used net browser in our place(some may disagree).Yet most people don't know to use IE keyboard shortcuts effectievly or don't use them.Some of the shortcuts that prove valuable in net surfing are described below.

1.Alt+Enter
If we want to type a domain name eg: www.yahoo.com it is easy.But if we want to type in so many domain names per day it will be a difficult job.
An easy way to do it is to use the Alt+Enter shortcut.Just type in the domain name as it is eg:www.yahoo.com is written as yahoo followed by Alt+enter.

yahoo+Alt+Enter=www.yahoo.com

2.Ctrl+A
If we have to select whole of the contents given in a webpage,just type in Ctrl+A.

3.F5
If we want to refresh/reload a page just press F5.

4.Esc

To stop the current job press Esc.

5.Backspace
If we want to go back to the previous page,press Backspace.It is same as the button BACK.

6.Ctrl+F
Opens a dialogue box,"Find on this page"...whatever you have to find type in there...If the desired word or number is in the page,IE will take you to that spot.

7.F11
Pressing F11 takes the IE browser window to full screen mode.On pressing F11 once more,the browser window returns to its original size.

These tips are frequently used by me...Using these shortcuts have greatly increased my browsing speed,may help you also.

More IE tips in the next post.

introduction

I discovered(learned how to use)the net when i was in 10th grade ie in the year 2000.
I began my net life by learning how to create an email id from our instructor(yahoo!!).I was very much afraid even to click the back button at that time.I showed my email id to my friends with great pride.Eventhough it was not a big feat to them,to me it was.....Next i visited our school site and was astonished.
In 2001 we took a computer at home.It was the turning point in my net life.I was desperate to learn new things from the net...At last it paid off and now i share with a little( it is a small little)pride what i learned from the net.As learning is an ongoing process I think this will be a never ending blog packed with varying ideas and concepts.
Share a part of your knowledge with by filling the comments and i will be a happy man.
