Bigger attachments for GMail

Now the message can have 20 MB in size, that means that your mail and the attachments can't jump that size (!?). Until now I had problems sending files that have 11-12 MB and my applications that are .exe or .js, now the firs problem transforms in: cannot send files of 21- 22 MB - but this is a smaller problem. I could use another mail client for bigger attachments or a free file hosting service.

From Chicago to London in 4,703 minutes suggests Google maps

You have to see this google idea of traveling. If you'll seek a way from Chicago to London, you'll find very interesting to swim over the ocean to get there.

Here you'll find the path that Google proposed. I thing it is a good exercise for travelers, 'cause getting there on plains and boats aren't so ecological like swimming.

GMail has about 3 GB - you could use it like a drive

You can use it on your computer by installing an application that will do to access the drive easier, or you could use it from the net.
The first method is very easy to use (too bad you can't see the drive in Total Commander, but the Windows Explorer will do). You just have to:
1. Download the GMail Drive shell extension 1.0.10 from here.
2. Extract he files from the archive and run setup.exe
3. Access the new drive in Windows Explorer - it will ask you to log in (you know that Windows Explorer is something like Internet Explorer but with some other default tools, so when you copy files on that drive you just upload a file into an email sent to you, and when you copy from it you just download that file, so don't expect extra speed).
Look at the tips on the download page that I gave you above. It is nice to put a filter to your uploaded files.
Here you can see a little illustration how it works:


The method number two:
But sometimes you want to access your files not only on your computer, but somewhere else, at school, where you have no time or will to install that application. You can use this page witch is user friendly, and uses the same GMail. It is xMailHardDrive page powerredby BlackBox.
I saw this site is in the beta version, and sometimes you need patience with it. This guy from the clip above say that is is ok. It wasn't for me...

If the second method doesn't work, try downloading files from your GMail inbox (that's kind of third method), that sure will work, it will be just harder to upload files, but for that you better use the first method from home, where you have the drive installed.

New on Google Earth: Panoramio and Wikipedia

In the morning, I was looking for a shorter path for my travels, and I sow these little white circles with an blue x on them on the map, and some gray ones. (You should see them too if you see a right part of the map - peek a city that may contain something interesting - and if in the layers panel the Geographic Web is checked).
So the x-circles are from Panoramio and the grey ones are from Wikipedia. (they are like the sites favicons - those that appears in the address bar before the site url).
Let's what the gray icons can do:
It retrieve informations from Wikipedia and show it in Google Earth, I found it nice.
The Panoramio little circles are nice too, you can see a picture of that place the circle is.
But the bes way to see it is in Google Earth. Find some time to watch it.
