Dapper... interesting mashup service
I
don't remember how i landed here, but Dapper.net looks interesting...
watched a video on how it works and believe me its interesting!!
Edit: I was finally able to do some work with dapper.. created a widget from DPChallenge Favorite existing dapper itself..dpchallenge Version 2
I also managed to create a igoogle widget and even post it to google directory..
Interesting things.
complaint: The Dapp Factory is taking AGES to analyze the pages i give
myself so could not create "my own" ones from scratch yet... hope to be
soon.
There was a problem with my settings.. for the
Dapper to create a Dapp, you need to turn off the Add Block
extensions!! I did that (thanks to help from Ilan from Dapper) and
created some of my own Dapps, gadgets, RSS feeds and Image Loops...
very exciting. Here are some of my experiments on Dapper.
BTW, i cannot stop from comparing this with Yahoo Pipes... similar in many ways and different in many!!
Sanskrit and Marathi Online Dictionary
Found this great resource... works great if you install unicode fonts.. you can actually see words in Sanskrit and the meanings in English.
Also found Marathi Dictionary on the same site (infact two of them)
If you have unicode fonts installed, it actually shows you the "मरठी" names and their english meanings... Fundu...

There are dictionaries for lots of other languages available on the same site.

ScribeFire 2.3: Power-up your blogging
I have been using ScribeFire for more than 6 months now to post things to my blog.I am not a person who likes to write a lot and use my blog as a personal reference of good things i like on web and things which may be useful to my friends... so content-drag-drop is just what i need and that's exactly what i get from ScribeFire.
Overall, i just love this firefox extension, and believe me, without this my blog updates would have reduced to 10-15%... its too much of a pain to go to blogger, sign-in, click new post, then create the content :( Also there is no pane-view available to easily reference links / content / images!! just love it.
The latest feature "Live-Preview" is very cool.. I keep changing the color schemes of my blog so its pretty useful to check before i publish!!
One thing i am still to resolve is to setup the image upload settings for blogger, hopefully i will crack it soon :P
Happy Blogging....
