How to search blocked job sites using Google

Filed under: Personal, Technology

I was experimenting today and found that you can use Google and search job sites especially blocked ones.

Step 1 : Open Google and put in your search string and append it with site:www.THE JOB SITE YOU WANT.com

Say you want to search for job openings for engineers in Mumbai on Naukri.com

Then type

   engineer mumbai site:www.naukri.com

Step 2:
When you get the results page don’t click on the link. Click on ‘cached’ pages link.

This way even if someone checks your proxy log it wouldn’t show that you visited any job sites.

Check this image

I have tried it only with Naukri.

You can try this not only for job sites but for other sites too provided they have got static content and you dont have to log in.

Digital Inspiration has got a lots of tricks for trying sites anonymously.

Read this good news that the government is starting an Indian Institute of Space Science and Technology.

I hope Mr. Arjun Singh and his tribe doesn’t fiddle with this one and we have more proud moments like these.

Life improvement

Filed under: Personal, GTD

I have decided to start using GTD in trying (its still trying) to help me out with procrastination.

I’m sure that Im the uncrowned king of procrastinators, I dont have a crown since the coronation was always kept off (thats a good line and I made it myself … I do have creative skills !!!).

Have read a lot about GTD lets see whether it works for me.

I’m using Thinking Rock to help me with GTD.

The problem with me is that I would start things with tons of enthu but somehow it gets drained off mid way.

It has always happened with me whether its karate, swimming, typing , JEE, HAM, CAT classes, gym, jogging…….. the list goes on.

I would take an interest in something and start doing it, things would move smoothly for couple of months (2 years in case of karate) and suddenly all interest is lost or something more interesting comes up.

Somehow its not reflected in my professional career might be theres a Damocles sword hanging around always, naukri nahi hai to kya hoga  !!!

Today has been good let me hope that things would change after all the king has to give off the crown and kingdom someday.

Filed under: Personal

This link shows live pictures from  a high resolution camera placed on Times Square. I saw that they have a middle lane reserved for fire engines, thats what I guess it is.

Why cant we have something similar in Mumbai?
