Google calendar quick add

Often in Google Calendar, quick add can prove to be very helpful and more importantly - fast. With intelligent keyword and context matching it'll make things faster when we're to add a bulk of events spread over a range of dates. The best part comes with recurring events - we dont' have to click on 'edit event details', check the 'repeats' check box and select how the event repeats! With 'quick add' we can simply schedule a repeating event as:

Birthday Manu 7 May repeats yearly

 or

have medicine 9pm repeat daily for 2 weeks

Google calendar will intelligently parse the above comments and schedule the event/reminders accordingly.
A list of possible 'quick adds' can be found here:

Quick add can also be seamlessly integrated into your application using the calendar API. Instructions can be found here:

~ Happy holidays, and have a great time scheduling..

Private sidewiki?

I was wondering if there's something like a private 'google sidewiki' in which the entries are not actually published but are synced with your account and the notes/anecdotes are shown the next time 'you' visit that page. Some Firefox/Chrome plugins do give that support but the problem is localization of your information. All your notes etc. on webpages are visible only on the browser and not available elsewhere.

C:/Windows/Installer directory overflowing bug?

DISCLAIMER: I accept no liability for the content of this post, or for the consequences of any actions taken on the basis of the information provided. Use this solution at your own risk. This is a solution which worked on my system and may / may not work on others.

Hi all. Recently was bugged by the problem of my C: getting used up erratically. Everyday i'd remove some application and free space and lo! Next morning again <20MB space left on this drive.
I used the following tool to figure out the problem:
Free Disk Analyzer from http://www.extensoft.com/
Saw that the folder C:/Windows/Installer took up almost 80% of the space!

Initially thought of deleting several files at random but then read in forums that this approach is definitely not advisable. In many forums I was redirected to this page: http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-us;290301 but as it says, they've removed the installer from here.  This utility, however, can still be download from http://majorgeeks.com/Windows_Installer_CleanUp_Utility_d4459.html. INSTALL IT. Do not go and run this utility from its GUI since it doesn't give the option of removing only 'orphaned' installer packages - which is what we want to do. So, fire your command prompt, cd to C:\Program Files\Windows Installer Clean Up and run : msizap g!


PS: Cleaned up 16GB of space in 10 sec!
