How to write in various Indian regional languages ?

There are various way to type in various Indian languages, either via installing some software or do it directly online.

For a long time I am using the second method on windows and Linux as well, recently I found a better and free method to do the same offline via Google labs product transliterate and thought it will be nice if I document it somewhere.

1. This first way is via online, http://quillpad.in/ and its as easy as typing in English. Just give a try.
2. The second way is also online via http://www.google.com/transliterate/

you can also download the offline software from Google from the link here.

Personally I like the Google one (both online and offline).

I will shortly put a video covering the topic :)

Posted the video as promised :)

Worried about an email with virus attachment ?

All of us nowadays are getting more and more dependent on internet for various reasons, be it study, fun, knowledge, time pass or business and everyday we are getting loads of emails also from various sources.

 

Some of those emails are very very dangerous in terms of containing viruses, worms, Trojans and so on. That's why we should always have a good antivirus software running on our computer otherwise we might loose valuable information from our system. My previous post on Safe Internet Browsing was one such step to keep us safe from such harmful entities.

 

Recently I came across another such site which helps us just when you received an email and you think that it might contain virus. Will you open it thinking that your antivirus will catch it before it does any harm to you ? not always that helps as most of us does not have a good updated antivirus.

 

Therefore whenever you get such email what you can do is forward the mail to scan@virustotal.com to confirm whether that email is containing any virus or not.
