Embed an Image to Gmail Message

I have been trying to find a solution to how to add an image straight onto my Gmail message without it been a message attachment. I have found out a solution and I will share it with you.

First you have to make your image availabe on the internet by uploading it somewhere. Try http://www.imageshack.us for instance, but I uploaded my image to my blog.

Once you have uploaded the image you need to find the direct link address of the image that you uploaded. I uploaded this image http://pandroe.files.wordpress.com/2009/11/facebook.png which is a userbar which I created. You can practice on my image.

Go to your image address (or my sample address) and once its loaded in your browser, drag your mouse across the image so the whole image gets selected or highlighted (it should turn dark to indicate that it is successfully highlighted/selected). This part is very important so don’t miss it. Then while it is selected, right-click it and select COPY from the drop down window.

Go to your Gmail account, then COMPOSE MAIL. use RICH FORMATTING instead of PLAIN TEXT, and press CTRL-V to paste the copied image in your message. The image will then show and appear embedded.

Post your results as a comment to show that it really works.

Great Man – Nick Vujicic

On Wednesday the 1st of October 2009, I witnessed a video on a man who had no limbs. His name was Nick Vujicic. I watched at school a video about the life of Nick and how he handles new challeges.

He is so inspirational and by watching his videos and going to his website, he is a man with never ending faith in God. He spreads his joy and faith with others.

He has been on many tours spreading the faith in the lord and telling of his experience with no limbs.

Please watch this inspirational video that touched me and many others:

Thank you. If you are really inspired then you may want to Donate Money.

Crysis – Windows 7 Vs. XP – Frame Rate Comparison

Today I have done some research on the frame rates in Crysis.
I did I comparison with Crysis on Windows XP and Windows 7 to see how the frame rate differs.

Download the PDF file with all of my results.
It includes graphs and tables.

This link is the savegame file I used while I was testing the frame rates with: r_displayinfo = 1 command in the ingame console window. I was standing in the exact same postion without even moving the aimer to a different postion throughout the whole of the frame rate measurements.

Changing from Yahoo to Gmail.

Finally, I chnaged my email address to Gmail.
I have to admit it was such a pain, first I had to remember that I had an account on Gmail, I first tried the tools provided by Google Gmail themselves. The importing tools didn’t work and after looking over the internet (oh wonderful internet) I found a solution, -it didn’t work. The mail and contact importer kept asking me for my correct password. I entered it in about 30 times it just continued prompting me that the POP3 server didn’t find a match to my email and password.

I then manually exported my contacts and imported them into Gmail, that worked. But the mail bit I was still very stuck in. I have (had) 177 messages but I painfully had to minimise the number to 5. ‘Woo’, just think about it: 177 to 5 messages… anyways, I ended up just forwarding my most valuable messages to the new email address.

I recieved them and opened them so that Gmail didn’t keep thinking that I still have 5 unread messages left in my Inbox!

At last I finished and customized my iGoogle home page. I’m using the ‘World of Warcraft’ theme. lol!
