How to upload and share big files with ifile.it?

If we want to send file using email such as gmail and yahoo, we get maximum file limit to 25MB. If we want to send big files, we can use alternative way such as file sharing services. One system is IFILE dot IT.

Use following steps:

First, open the web: http://www.ifile.it

You will find the above page. Click "select files" button. You will see like this:


Choose a file you want to share, then click "Open" button. You will see something like this:


Please click "upload files" button.
---------------------------------------------------------
You will see:


Click text field to the right of "short link", then the link like
http://ifile.it/42fa9p8
will be selected (highlighted). Copy the highlighted link with right click and copy or with CTRL+C keyboard combination.

You can also use full link text field, like:
http://ifile.it/42fa9p8/test-share.txt

Either link is ok for sharing purposes.




After you get the link (either short or full), include (Paste) the link to your email message. Then when your friend get your email, he/she will be able to download the file using the link you've given.

Right keyboard is broken (doesn’t work), how to “replace” it using software?

My another laptop has another broken keyboard for right. Therefore I cannot manouver my text to the right.

How to overcome this using software? I now can do this using Autohotkey. Just download the software. If you cannot find the URL, just ask Miss Google by yourself. After that, add this line to your autohotkey script. Detailed instruction on how to do this, I will not give it to you, I left it for you as an exercise. Just add this line to your *.ahk script, and activate your autohotkey and the script, and then you will have a keyboard combination to replace right movement.

In my case I use “win left” combination. So if I want to move my cursor to the right, then I just press both “Window” and “left”.

One line script to add is:

#Left::Right

In this case, my Left keyboard is still functional. # is a symbol for “Window” keyboard, a key with Window logo/icon.

My code above reads as a combination of window and left keys equal to right key.

Webmail Interfaces: Why Google is always better than Yahoo! up to now?

As a many year user of webmail interfaces of many email providers, I compare two among big free mail providers, Google Mail and Yahoo Mail.

As of this writing, I still prefer and give highest grade to Google compared to Yahoo because of many reasons. These are the reasons:

  1. I can easily search or check unread mail in my Inbox, either by using basic search interface or advanced search interface. You cannot do this in Yahoo. As a user of email, this feature is very important. Not every unread emails need to be opened and read. Most often, by seeng the subject I can decide what to do next with the email. Mostly I just need to check/mark these emails fast (in one click) and with checked mails I can do the next action: either trash/delete or archive them.
  2. I can label each of my email based on my need. Each mail can be given more than one labels. In Yahoo, you cannot do this, you only can move email to different folder.
  3. Google archiving facility make our inbox free of unneeded and distracting old emails. Mail archiving idea with one button is the original idea of webmail interface invented by Google. Later, I found Microsoft (hotmail) also adopt this but the interface is not as good as Google’s.
  4. You can pop your free google emails and you cannot do this in free yahoo email.
  5. Google undo facility. Each of my last action in Google mail can be undone (just in one click). Yahoo doesn’t have this.

But why I still use Yahoo? This is because my friends still use them for Chatting.
