Number sign (#)

Source: Number sign - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

There are some facts that we've never noticed before.

• It's also called "hash" sign (myself have just learned this from Twitter).
• It's not actually same as the "sharp" sign. And "C#", which is called "see sharp", actually uses # instead of real sharp sign for convenience.

Terra Nomad: Gmail tip for finding archived items with no label

To find them, search this: "-label:inbox -label:blog -label:comp ..."
You have to add a -label:tag for each tag, so it can take a while to write. But bookmark it and you never have to write it again!

A way to open 2 Google accounts simultaneously

In case that we have one personal account and another one company account -- for example.

We can use multiple web browsers to separate accounts. But if we want to use only one such as Firefox. This method can be a solution:

Personal-account set

• iGoogle: by this time it's not available to company account yet.
• Gmail Notifier

Company-account set

• Google Talk

Gmail Notifier and Google Talk call Gmail at different places despite of same "www.google.com/...", no matter company has set alias to another URL or not. And then from Gmail, each session links to within its own place for other services (Calendar, Docs, Sites).
