Ultimate Google Way

Look for Appz in Parent Directory

intext:"parent directory" intext:"[EXE]"


intext:"parent directory" index of:"[EXE]"


intext:"parent directory" index of:"[RAR]"

This will look for any exe or optionaly for zip, rar, ace, iso, bin and etc.

Look for Moviez in Parent Directory

intext:"parent directory" intext:"[VID]"

Hack 3. Make a Desktop Icon to Create a New Document

You launch desktop programs from the desktop. Why not launch Google programs from the desktop, too?

If you want to open up Google Spreadsheets to create a new file, you can point your browser to http://www.google.com and choose "Documents" from the "more" menu on top, then click NewSpreadsheet. A quicker way to do this is to use a bookmark, but Motti Strom, Mobile Software Engineer at Google UK, suggests an even better way: create a desktop icon to launch Google documents, spreadsheets, or presentations.

Windows

Start by right-clicking any free spot on your Windows desktop and selecting NewShortcut from the context menu, as shown in Figure 1-12. Type the following address for the shortcut:

http://spreadsheets.google.com/ccc?new

Save your shortcut, and name it "New Google Spreadsheet."

Hack 2. Collaborate with Others Through Google Docs

With Google Docs, you can collaborate with others on the same document at the same time, and make documents accessible to the world within seconds by publishing them on the Web.

Online applications are born to be collaborative—the program and the data it works on are already potentially accessible from all over the world. Plus, every user will see the same version of that program without having to worry about whether they've installed all the latest patches, because the software runs on Google's servers, which automatically pick up the latest bug fixes and new features.

This collaborative approach requires you to do a bit of rethinking if you're used to desktop office tools. Instead of sending someone an attachment, invite them to a Google document. Instead of discussing a spreadsheet via the phone, email, or instant messenger, use the chat function that's built into Google Spreadsheets (see "Sharing a Spreadsheet," later in this hack). Instead of setting up third-party screen sharing software, you can invite others to your presentation URL and flip the slides for them.

Ironically, by being centralized, the data acts more as if it's decentralized; as the files are stored on Google's servers, which are already accessible to others who provide the needed credentials (their Google Account), Google ensures that you don't need to create a copy of a file to have someone else see it. So instead of dozens of Microsoft Word files scattered around your team's PCs (or in different folders on your intranet), the Google document exists only in that virtual "computing cloud." And Google Docs tracks who edits it, can alert you of changes, and allows you to compare document revisions.

Get Feedback on a Document You're Working On

One common use of collaboration is to ask for feedback on a document you're editing. Your friend, colleague, editor, or boss can add comments to your document, which you can work with in turn. All your collaborator needs for this is a Google Account, as discussed in the beginning of this chapter. (Without a Google Account, others can only view your documents—they cannot modify them.)

Let's start by creating a Google Docs document at http://docs.google.com. Name it "Thai Chicken Recipe." To get the initial recipe, you can go to Google Base at http://base.google.com and click the Recipes link; next, select the cuisine, main ingredient, and more from the drop-down menus, as pictured in Figure 1-6, and choose your preferred dish. You can highlight, copy, then paste the full page content directly into your empty Docs document as shown in Figure 1-7.

If you like to eat but you're no master cook, you can now invite your master cook friend to the document to proofread it. (None of your friends can cook Thai? Visit Google's social network at http://orkut.com and join the 6,500+ member-strong "Thai food lovers" community.) To invite your friend, click Share"Share with others" on top of the editor. Enter your friend's email address—preferably their Gmail address—into the invitation box. (And uncheck the "Invitations may be used by anyone" box, just in case someone else manages to get their hands on the invitation.) When you click the "Invite collaborators" button, your friend gets an email message, shown in Figure 1-8, and can start to edit along.

Google Apps Hacks

Google Docs (http://docs.google.com) is the title of Google's text, spreadsheet, and presentation editor, similar in style to Microsoft's Word, Excel, and PowerPoint programs, but with fewer features, and a stronger focus on collaboration. With Google Docs, you can write letters, recipes, tutorials, a diary, book chapters—I'm using it to write this book—or anything else.

You can also create web pages, thanks to the export options that Google Docs provides. Google Spreadsheets, on the other hand, allows you to perform spreadsheet calculations; you can keep any numeric or textual data organized—from the prices of items in your antique collection to the age and address of your employees, and so on. Google Spreadsheets provides you with a variety of formulas to perform calculations within a spreadsheet. You can also create neat visualizations using the chart tool. Google Presentations, the last of the trio, is useful for creating presentation slides for online or offline use.

To sign up for this service, as is the case with most other Google services described throughout the book, you need a Google Account.

 

Hack 1. How to Get Your Google Account

You can create a Google Account through many of Google's services. The easiest way is to go to http://www.gmail.com and click the "Sign up for Gmail" link. (Note that if you already have Gmail, you also already have a Google Account.) During the sign-up process, you provide your first and last name and your preferred username, along with other information, as shown in Figure 1-1. Once you agree to the Terms of Service and complete the sign-up by clicking the "I accept" button, you'll see a Congratulations page. Now you can log in to most Google services using your email + password.

NOTE

100 Question Cisco

**************************************************************************

From: Question 1

Subject: What does ``cisco'' stand for?

cisco folklore time:

At one point in time, the first letter in cisco Systems was a lowercase ``c''. At present, various factions within the company have adopted a capital ``C'', while fierce traditionalists (as well as some others) continue to use the lowercase variant, as does the cisco Systems logo. This FAQ has chosen to use the lowercase variant throughout.

cisco is not C.I.S.C.O. but is short for San Francisco, so the story goes.  Back in the early days when the founders Len Bosack and Sandy Lerner and appropriate legal entities were trying to come up with a name they did many searches for non similar names, and always came up

with a name which was denied. Eventually someone suggested ``cisco'' and the name wasn't taken (although SYSCO may be confusingly similar sounding). There was an East Coast company which later was using the ``CISCO'' name (I think they sold in the IBM marketplace) they ended up having to not use the CISCO abberviation.  Today many people spell cisco with a capital ``C'', citing problems in getting the lowercase ``c'' right in publications, etc. This lead to at least one amusing article headlined ``Cisco grows up''. This winter we will celebrate our 10th year.

From: Question 2

Subject: How do I save the configuration of a cisco?

If you have a tftp server available, you can create a file on the server for your router to write to, and then use the write network command. From a typical unix system:

        mytftpserver$ touch /var/spool/tftpboot/myconfig

        mytftpserver$ chmod a+w /var/spool/tftpboot/myconfig

        myrouter#copy running-config tftp

        Remote host [10.7.0.63]? 10.7.0.2

        Name of configuration file to write [myrouter-confg]? myconfig

        Write file foobar on host 10.7.0.2? [confirm] y

**************************************************************************

From: Question 3

Subject: How can I get my cisco to talk to a third party router over a serial link?

You need to tell your cisco to use the same link-level protocol as the other router; by default, ciscos use a rather bare variant of HDLC (High-level Data Link Control) all link-level protocols use at some level/layer or another. To make your cisco operate with most other routers, you need to change the encapsulation from HDLC to PPP on the

relevant interfaces. For instance:

sewer-cgs#conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line.

Edit with DELETE, CTRL/W, and CTRL/U; end with CTRL/Z

interface serial 1

encapsulation ppp

^Z

sewer-cgs#sh int s 1

Serial 1 is administratively down, line protocol is down

Hardware is MCI Serial

MTU 1500 bytes, BW 1544 Kbit, DLY 20000 usec, rely 255/255, load 1/255

Encapsulation PPP, loopback not set, keepalive set (10 sec)

^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^^

[...]

If you're still having trouble, you might wish to turn on serial interface debugging:

sewer-cgs#ter mon

sewer-cgs#debug serial-interface

**************************************************************************

From: Question 4

Subject: How can I get my cisco to talk to a 3rd-party router over Frame Relay?

You should tell your cisco to use ``encapsulation frame-relay ietf'' (instead of ``encapsulation frame-relay'') on your serial interface that's running frame relay if your frame relay network contains a diverse set of manufacturers' routers. The keyword ``ietf'' specifies that your cisco will use RFC1294-compliant encapsulation, rather than the default, RFC1490-compliant encapsulation (other products, notably Novell MPR 2.11, use a practice sanctioned by 1294 but deemed verbotten by 1490, namely padding of the nlpid).  If only a few routers in your frame relay cloud require this, then you can use the default encapsulation on everything and specify the exceptions with the frame-relay map command:

        frame-relay map ip 10.1.2.3 56 broadcast ietf

                                                 ^^^^

(ietf stands for Internet Engineering Task Force, the body which evaluates Standards-track RFCs; this keyword is a misnomer as both RFC1294 and RFC1490 are ietf-approved, however 1490 is most recent and is a Draft Standard (DS), whereas 1294 is a Proposed Standard (one step beneath a DS), and is effectively obsolete).

**************************************************************************

From: Question 5

Subject: How can I use debugging?

The ``terminal monitor'' command directs your cisco to send debugging output to the current session. It's necessary to turn this on each time you telnet to your router to view debugging information. After that, you must specify the specific types of debugging you wish to turn on; please note that these stay on or off until changed, or until the router reboots, so remember to turn them off when you're done.

Debugging messages are also logged to a host if you have trap logging enabled on your cisco. You can check this like so:

sl-panix-1>sh logging

Syslog logging: enabled (0 messages dropped, 0 flushes, 0 overruns)

Console logging: level debugging, 66 messages logged

Monitor logging: level debugging, 0 messages logged

Trap logging: level debugging, 69 message lines logged

Logging to 198.7.0.2, 69 message lines logged

sl-panix-1>

If you have syslog going to a host somewhere and you then set about a nice long debug session from a term your box is doing double work and sending every debug message to your syslog server. Additionally, if you turn on something that provides copious debugging output, be careful that you don't overflow your disk (``debug ip-rip'' is notorious for this).

One solution to this is to only log severity ``info'' and higher:

sl-panix-1#conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

        logging trap info

The other solution is to just be careful and remember to turn off debugging. This is easy enough with:

sl-panix-1#undebug all

If you have a heavily loaded box, you should be aware that debugging can load your router.  The console has a higher priority than a vty so don't debug from the console; instead, disable console logging:

cix-west.cix.net#conf t

Enter configuration commands, one per line.  End with CNTL/Z.

no logging console

Then always debug from a vty.  If the box is busy and you are a little too vigorous with debugging and the box is starting to sink, quickly run, don't walk to your console and kill the session on the vty.  If you are on the console your debugging has top prioority and then the only way out is the power switch.  This of course makes remote debugging a real sweaty palms adventure especially on a crowded box.

Use the command

No ip domain-lookup

Windows Registry Guide

 
What is the Registry?
The Registry is a database used to store settings and options for the 32 bit versions of Microsoft Windows including Windows 95, 98, ME and NT/2000. It contains information and settings for all the hardware, software, users, and preferences of the PC. Whenever a user makes changes to a Control Panel settings, or File Associations, System Policies, or installed software, the changes are reflected and stored in the Registry.
The physical files that make up the registry are stored differently depending on your version of Windows; under Windows 95 & 98 it is contained in two hidden files in your Windows directory, called USER.DAT and SYSTEM.DAT, for Windows Me there is an additional CLASSES.DAT file, while under Windows NT/2000 the files are contained seperately in the %SystemRoot%\System32\Config directory. You can not edit these files directly, you must use a tool commonly known as a "Registry Editor" to make any changes (using registry editors will be discussed later in the article).
The Structure of the Registry
The Registry has a hierarchal structure, although it looks complicated the structure is similar to the directory structure on your hard disk, with Regedit being similar to Windows Explorer.
