Everything I didn't tell you / ola osa den sou eipa - Melina Aslanidou
It’s better to go away before I see you going
Before I see you avoiding me without pity
Just before the end I want you to remember
A silent girl who was watching you sleeping
To tell you that I love you is too little
To tell you that I will die for you is like a joke
To tell you I don’t care is a lie
So, I say nothing... but I feel...
I have paid for my words without meaning
Caresses and bad names. Which word will kill?
Just before the end I want you to remember
A silent girl who was watching you sleeping
To tell you that I love you is too little
To tell you that I will die for you is like a joke
To tell you I don’t care is a lie
So, I say nothing... but I feel...
Πιο καλά να φ�γω π�ιν σε δω να φε�γεις
να με αποφε�γεις πάλι αλ�πητα
λίγο Ï€Ï�ιν το Ï„Îλος θÎλω να θυμάσαι
κάποια στη σιωπή που σε κοιτο�σε να κοιμάσαι
Î�α σου πω πως σ΄Î±Î³Î±Ï€Î¬Ï‰ θα΄Î½Î±Î¹ λίγο
να σου πω πως θα πεθάνω θα΄Î½Î±Î¹ αστείο
να σου πω πως δε με νοιάζει θα΄Î½Î±Î¹ ψÎμα

Introducing HTML Mail v2.0
A new version of the popular HTML Mail utility is now available at ctrlq.org/html-mail. →
You may use the tool to create and send rich-text emails to anyone with a click. It offers a WYSIWYG editor for writing emails visually but if you are comfortable with HTML, simply switch to the HTML mode and code messages in HTML and CSS directly.
What’s new then?
One, the email program now uses the HTML Boilerplate template and thus your messages should render alike across all popular email clients including Gmail, Yahoo Mail and Outlook.
Everything is wrapped inside a background table to prevent your email message body from stretching outside the available width of the email client. The boilerplate stylesheet also includes fixes to make your messages more readable on a mobile phone.
The HTML Mail program now requires you to sign-in using your Facebook or Google Account before send an email. This was necessary to prevent people from abusing the program and also, the email address provided by these services will appear as the FROM: address in the header of your outgoing messages.
The tool can also be used for designing HTML signatures for your email program. Social icons, like Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIn, can be added to the signature with a click.

How to Fake your Location in Google Chrome
Sometimes websites may request access to your location so that they can serve more relevant information. For instance, if you are looking for a gas station, a maps website may use your current geographic location to display stations that are near your place. →
How Browsers Determine your Location
Earlier, websites would use the IP address to determine your approximate location but with the HTML5 Geolocation API, web browsers can more accurately detect your location using data from GPS, Wi-Fi networks, cell towers, Bluetooth and the computer’s IP address. If you agree to share your location, the browser will send these details to Google Location Services for estimating your location which is then shared with the requesting website.
To give you an example, open the Where am I app in your browser, allow it to use your location information and the app should be able to display your latitude and longitude coordinates (it is more accurate on mobile browsers as those devices have built-in GPS).
Fake your Geolocation Coordinates
When you happen to visit a location-aware website, the browser will always ask for a confirmation before sharing your location. If you aren’t keen to share your geographic coordinates, you can always deny that request or, if you are using Google Chrome, you can even send a fake location to the website.
Here’s how. Press F12 (or Ctrl + Shift + I) in Google Chrome to open the Developer Tools. Click the Settings icon in the lower right corner and switch to the Overrides tab (see the next screenshot). Now you can specify the exact latitude and longitude coordinates* that you want to share with that website.
[*] You can use the Postal Address finder to know the latitude and location of a place.Make sure that the “Override Geolocation” setting is checked and then refresh the page to send that fake location. And this is obviously a useful feature for web developers who would like to test their geolocation-enabled apps from the same location.
Related tip: Geotag your Tweets with any Location

Google Approves Responsive AdSense Ads
When AdSense launched about a decade ago, people mostly accessed websites from their desktop or laptop computers. Fast forward today and all sorts of devices – mobile phones, gaming consoles, ebook readers and even televisions – are being used to connect to the Internet. →
Web designers are therefore increasingly relying on a technique called Responsive Web Design where a single layout of the websites works across all devices, irrespective of the screen size or the resolution of the device.
Google AdSense ads are fixed-width but there’s a little workaround that can make your Google ads responsive. The idea is that if a visitor is reading your web page on a large desktop screen, they are served the large 728×60 or 336×280 units while if another visitor is viewing the same page on a smaller mobile screen, you can dynamically serve the 200×200 (or similar) ad unit.
I shared the relevant JavaScript snippet last year and, since then, its been a topic of debate in several online forum threads. The primary concern among web publishers was (and still is) that Responsive Google Ads could be against Google AdSense policies since they require modification in the default JavaScript code.
Michel Wester of WebSonic.nl, an AdSense publisher from Netherlands, contacted the Google AdSense team for a confirmation and here’s the official response (in Dutch):
The rough Dutch to English translation is:
AdSense Ads can be adapted to different screen sizes using a simple JavaScript snippet. To take advantage of responsive design, create multiple ad formats, such as 728×90, 468×60 and 300×250. Then you implement an “if-else’ fragment so that the right ad format is displayed based on the size of the device of the user.
The example website that you sent has the correct JavaScript code that you can use. Well I would like to emphasize that further change the AdSense code is not allowed. Advertisements may also not be hidden with CSS.
Thus you won’t violate any of the AdSense program policies for using responsive ads on your website. The JavaScript snippet isn’t modifying the AdSense code but is simply requesting a different ad unit based on the viewport width of the current visitor’s screen.

Add the Auto-Sweep Feature of Outlook to Gmail
Outlook has an interesting Auto-Sweep feature that automatically deletes older email messages from specific senders after a certain period of time. The Trash and the Spam folders in Gmail too have a similar auto-purge property and any mail in these folders that is older than 30 days is automatically deleted. →
Gmail Auto Purge – Delete Old Mails Automatically
Auto-purging can help keep your mailbox lean and tidy.
For instance, if you have created a rule in Gmail that archives all your newsletter subscriptions to a particular label, these unwanted messages will live forever until you manually purge them. With auto-purging enabled, the older mails of a label are automatically removed from your mailbox.
How to Enable Auto-Purging in Gmail
You can’t enable auto-purging in Gmail for any particular label but there’s a simple Google Script that will bring this missing functionality to your Gmail. The script will basically monitor messages belonging to a particular folder /label in Gmail and purge those that have exceed the retention time.
Here’s how you can get auto-purge to work inside your Gmail:
- Open Google Script and choose File -> Make a copy to copy it into your Google Drive.
- Set the value of GMAIL_LABEL to the label that you wish to auto-purge and PURGE_AFTER are the number of days for which you to retain a message in Gmail.
- Go to Run -> Initialize and grant the necessary permissions. This is your personal script and nobody else will ever have access to your data.
- Go to Run -> Install to install the auto-purge script.
That’s it. Exit the Google Script and it will continuously monitor that particular Gmail label in the background. If you need to disable auto-purging later, just open the same script in your Google Drive and choose Run -> Uninstall.

Get an Email Alert (with Picture) When Someone Tries to Log into your Computer
You have a feeling that someone else used your computer (or at least made an attempt to login) while you were out for a quick coffee break. Maybe that colleague with whom you share the cubicle knows your password or he made a few guesses before finally giving up. →
How do you get notified when such an attempt is made to intrude into your computer?

WebSonic.nl, an AdSense publisher from Netherlands, contacted the Google AdSense team for a confirmation and here’s the official response (in Dutch):
AdSense-advertenties kunnen samen met uw inhoud worden aangepast aan verschillende schermgrootten met behulp van een eenvoudig JavaScript-fragment. Om te kunnen profiteren van responsief ontwerp, maakt u eerst meerdere advertentieformaten, bijvoorbeeld 728×90, 468×60 en 300×250. Vervolgens implementeert u een ‘if-else’-fragment zodat het juiste advertentieformaat wordt weergegeven op basis van het formaat van het apparaat van de gebruiker.
De voorbeeld website die u stuurt geeft al de juiste javascript code die u kunt gebruiken. Wel wil ik nog even benadrukken dat verdere verandering van de AdSense code niet is toegestaan. Ook mogen advertenties niet worden verborgen met CSS.
The rough English translation is:

Michael Jackson's success was beyond translation
From Sydney to Hong Kong, China to Los Angeles, fans, officials and fellow entertainers spoke of their shock and sadness. His music echoed from cafes and car speakers, and everyone from national leaders on down seemed to weigh in.
President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela called the star’s death “lamentable news,” though he criticized the media for giving it so much attention. The former president of South Korea Kim Dae-jung, who had met Mr. Jackson, said: “We lost a hero of the world.”
In Paris, fans held a ceremony in his honor in front of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame Friday night and planned a memorial moonwalk at the Eiffel Tower for Sunday.
Huge crowds gathered in the shadow of Notre-Dame, linking hands and chanting Mr. Jackson’s name, cheering and sometimes breaking into song. Some held flags adorned with images of Mr. Jackson, and others held up signs.

To tell you that I love you is too little
To tell you that I will die for you is like a joke
To tell you I don’t care is a lie
So, I say nothing... but I feel...
I have paid for my words without meaning
Caresses and bad names. Which word will kill?
Just before the end I want you to remember
A silent girl who was watching you sleeping
To tell you that I love you is too little
To tell you that I will die for you is like a joke
To tell you I don’t care is a lie
So, I say nothing... but I feel...
Πιο καλά να φ�γω π�ιν σε δω να φε�γεις
να με αποφε�γεις πάλι αλ�πητα
λίγο Ï€Ï�ιν το Ï„Îλος θÎλω να θυμάσαι
κάποια στη σιωπή που σε κοιτο�σε να κοιμάσαι
Î�α σου πω πως σ΄Î±Î³Î±Ï€Î¬Ï‰ θα΄Î½Î±Î¹ λίγο
να σου πω πως θα πεθάνω θα΄Î½Î±Î¹ αστείο
να σου πω πως δε με νοιάζει θα΄Î½Î±Î¹ ψÎμα
δε λÎω τίποτα μα νιώθω...
Τα άσκοπά μου λόγια τα΄Ï‡Ï‰ πια πληÏ�ώσει
χάδια και βÏ�ισιÎÏ‚ ποια λÎξη θα σκοτώσει
λίγο Ï€Ï�ιν το Ï„Îλος θÎλω να θυμάσαι
κάποια στη σιωπή που σε κοιτο�σε να κοιμάσαι
Î�α σου πω πως σ΄Î±Î³Î±Ï€Î¬Ï‰ θα΄Î½Î±Î¹ λίγο
να σου πω πως θα πεθάνω θα΄Î½Î±Î¹ αστείο
να σου πω πως δε με νοιάζει θα΄Î½Î±Î¹ ψÎμα
δε λÎω τίποτα μα νιώθω...

Everything I didn't tell you / ola osa den sou eipa - Melina Aslanidou
It’s better to go away before I see you going
Before I see you avoiding me without pity
Just before the end I want you to remember
A silent girl who was watching you sleeping
To tell you that I love you is too little
To tell you that I will die for you is like a joke
To tell you I don’t care is a lie
So, I say nothing... but I feel...
I have paid for my words without meaning
Caresses and bad names. Which word will kill?
Just before the end I want you to remember
A silent girl who was watching you sleeping
To tell you that I love you is too little
To tell you that I will die for you is like a joke
To tell you I don’t care is a lie
So, I say nothing... but I feel...
Πιο καλά να φ�γω π�ιν σε δω να φε�γεις

Michael Jackson's success was beyond translation
From Sydney to Hong Kong, China to Los Angeles, fans, officials and fellow entertainers spoke of their shock and sadness. His music echoed from cafes and car speakers, and everyone from national leaders on down seemed to weigh in.
President Hugo Chávez of Venezuela called the star’s death “lamentable news,” though he criticized the media for giving it so much attention. The former president of South Korea Kim Dae-jung, who had met Mr. Jackson, said: “We lost a hero of the world.”
In Paris, fans held a ceremony in his honor in front of the Cathedral of Notre-Dame Friday night and planned a memorial moonwalk at the Eiffel Tower for Sunday.
Huge crowds gathered in the shadow of Notre-Dame, linking hands and chanting Mr. Jackson’s name, cheering and sometimes breaking into song. Some held flags adorned with images of Mr. Jackson, and others held up signs.
