Google calendar is now available for your phone. It's easy to keep track of your events in Google calendar. Have you tried it yet? You can keep multiple layers of calendars. Add your friends birthdays, anniversaries, events and get notified at your phone. The reminders will be send to you as a SMS TEXT messages. I personally found it more meaninful because e-mail reminders can't remind you because most of us doesn't use e-mail 24/7. Setting it up is fairly simple. Of course you will need to have a google account to use the popular services like gmail, picasa, gtalk, google documents and so on. Once you login to your Google calendar account just goto settings and setup your mobile phone number. It requires you to verify your number by inserting a verification code. Look at the images below.

So you can have free SMS Text reminders for all your events.

Life is Moving on the fast lane. I'm happy, a bit worried, a bit scared and a bit curious of all the upcoming changes. Life is not a destiny, it's a journey. There will be ups and downs in life as usual but the fun part is to enjoy it and live it accordingly. Thanks to visulogik for the excellent photo. Here are some important quotes to remember:

"Life must be understood backwards; but… it must be lived forward."- Soren Kierkegaard
"There is only one success – to be able to spend your life in your own way." – Christopher Morley
I don't know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." – Bill Cosby
Life is half spent before we know what it is." – George Herbert

Sometimes staying young in body and mind is not possible by doing diet or whatsoever. It can be achieved by having a great time and enjoy the moments of the life. Maybe these 10 points can help to you to stay young in body and soul. In order to stay young it requires both mental and physical health. Remember a body can't live without a mind.

Get rid of non essential numbers which includes age, blood pressure levels, sugar levels, weight and height. Let the doctors worry about them. That is why you pay them.

Keep only cheerful friends. The grouches pull you down.

Keep learning. Learn more about the computer, crafts, gardening, astronomy, history or whatsoever. Never let the brain idle. " An idle mind is the devil's workshop."

Enjoy the simple things in life.

Laugh often, long and loud. Laugh until you gasp for breath.

The tears happen. Endure, grieve, and move on. The only person who is with us our entire life, is ourselves.
Be ALIVE while you are alive.

Surround yourself with what you love, whether it's family, friends, pets, keepsakes, music, plants, hobbies, whatever.

Cherish your health: If it is good, preserve it. If it is unstable, improve it. If it is beyond what you can improve, get help.

Don't take guilt trips. Take a trip to the mall, to the next county, to a foreign country, but NOT to where the guilt is.

Tell the people you love that you love them, at every opportunity.

Sometimes at office or even at home i don't want certain part of my hard drive not accessible by anyone. Well you can hide your folders but is it giving you the optimal protection, i don't think so. TrueCrypt is a open source software comes with a highly secured protection systems. The algorithms are so difficult to break that it might take a few billion years to break the password. TrueCrypt can be used on windows xp/vista or linux platforms. Actually what it do is to create a physical file on a hard disk and encrypt it with very strong protection and mount that file as a virtual drive. Once the drive mounted you can see all your private files inside just like a regular hard disk. TrueCrypt also can be used to protect your USB or Flash disks. Bare in mind TrueCrypt is designed for advanced users. Here are the main features of TrueCrypt.

Creates a virtual encrypted disk within a file and mounts it as a real disk.
Encrypts an entire hard disk partition or a storage device such as USB flash drive.
Encryption is automatic, real-time (on-the-fly) and transparent.
Provides two levels of plausible deniability, in case an adversary forces you to reveal the password:
1) Hidden volume (steganography – more information may be found here).
2) No TrueCrypt volume can be identified (volumes cannot be distinguished from random data).
Encryption algorithms: AES-256, Serpent, and Twofish. Mode of operation: LRW.
