I was searching in google map that how to display marker first. So i find out that google map display marker with help of latitude and longnitude. With help of that i have made one basic application for my customer. Now problem arise when customer asks me to make it working with address stored in database. Initially i thought it will be easy to make it but i was stuck when i found that with help of Address to get latitude and longnitude is not easy. So here is a brief tutorial what i have gone throught and make it working.

First Sign Up for the Google Maps API link

Now goto http://code.google.com/apis/maps/documentation/overlays.html and find Custom Icons in Markers section. Understand this example properly. This is example of creating markers at random place with Text on it.

Now we will use GClientGeocoder method of google to find address. First we add our addresses in one single dimension array and after that we call one function which get Latitude and Longnitude of those address and place marker in google map.

I have uploaded one file here. You can download it from here. This is working example with 2 different addresses of London. You have to just change your API key in this example.

This is how it looks.

I found out this video from one my friend. After watching this video i though that this video must be shared with everyone.

Here is brief description about inventor and technology

Pranav Mistry demos several tools that help the physical world interact with the world of data — including a deep look at his SixthSense device and a new, paradigm-shifting paper “laptop.” In an onstage Q&A, Mistry says he’ll open-source the software behind SixthSense, to open its possibilities to all.

Usually we share photos with our friends and relatives after some picnic or some special occasions. Currently i received lots of Picasa Web Album request to view photos. When i try to download it with picasa it was not allowed because Album was not set as downloadable by Album uploader. So i decided to find some plugin / software that download photos for me with original size. So if you don’t want to install the application (picasa software) or you use Mac or Linux, there are other ways to download a photo album also.

First you need Firefox browser. For Firefox, you can use plugin named DownThemAll, probably the best download manager add-on. After installing the extension and restarting the browser, go to the album you want to download, click on the “RSS” link from the sidebar and you’ll get the album’s feed. Right-click on the page, select DownThemAll/DownThemAll in the contextual menu, expand the Filters section and check “Images”. Don’t forget to enter the folder where you want to save the photos.

If you have anyother option also than please let us know so we can put it here which can benefit other users also.

I actually download lots of stuff through torrents, and i know some basic of how torrents work. Torrents work in a fashion very much similar to local network’s file and printer sharing.

The first stage is creating a torrent. This must be done the first time by someone. Most Bit Torrent clients allow you to create a torrent. Basically you should gather all your files in one folder (preferable) and create a torrent file out of it. You must specify a tracker for the same. Once the .torrent file is created you can upload this .torrent file to any torrent masters such as mininove, piratebay, etc.

The next step is to load this torrent file in the torrent client (e.g. Vuze) and it starts seeding.

Anyone looking for the specific file (inside the torrent) or the torrent itself will hit the torrent site through google search and download the .torrent file. He/she will then load the torrent in the client and the torrent starts downloading – with you being the peer/seed and the other person being the peer/leach.

The contents of the torrent are divided into many pieces of equal size (256KB to 1 MB being most common). Any seeding or downlaoding is done piece by piece. The torrent tracker keeps track of what piece is owned by who. This way, piece by piece, the torrent contents are downloaded until all the pieces are with you. Once done, the torrent client automatically shifts the mode from ‘downloading’ to ’seeding’.

Some Basic terms of .torent files are like follwing when you download files

Leeches - People who download files but do not share files on their own computer with others

Seed or seeder - A computer with a complete copy of a BitTorrent file (At least one seed computer is necessary for a BitTorrent download to operate.)
