Where’s George? – Track USD Bills

So, coming back to the point, “how does Where’s George? track your money?” is the question. If you already clicked the above link and glanced through the website, you might have got an idea of how it works.

The core idea is simple. You enter the zip code of your state and the serial number of the note/bill you have. This is registered in their database. When someone else registers the note/bill with same serial number, then a “hit” has happened. The user who registers enters a some information regarding where he got and the status of the bill (whether new, old or wrinkled etc.) and the place is tracked through the Zip code. Thus, you can keep track of the bills you registered.

Bills of all denominations like 2, 5, 10, 50 and 100 USD can be tracked using this service. The website is pretty active and gets real time hits every second or two. You would have a fun time tracking your bills. You need to register with this website before you start registering the bills.  Go ahead and try this service, if you are a US resident! You can also check out this Wikipedia article on Where’s George? for more information.

Track Gandhi – Track Indian Currency Notes

This is completely similar to the Where’s George? concept. You need to enter the location and the serial number of the note you have. Then, wait for the hit. Compared to the Where’s George?, the Indian version is pretty lame and not so active. The hits, according to the map is mostly near Karnataka (3056) and other South Indian areas (I wonder how?!). The next popular place where hits have been registered is near the Indian capital New Delhi (1974).

Come on, lets make the Indian version popular too. Go ahead and register. Share it with your friends too.

Copy the following script into a notepad. Then save that file with an extension “.vbs”. Now click on the new file with a script like icon. You see the magic! I am sure you will enjoy seeing them. Here are the codes you need to paste:

This code makes the LEDs to dance randomly.

Set wshShell =wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")

do
wscript.sleep 100
wshshell.sendkeys "{CAPSLOCK}"
wshshell.sendkeys "{NUMLOCK}"
wshshell.sendkeys "{SCROLLLOCK}"
loop

This code makes the LEDs to dance in a regular manner.

Set wshShell =wscript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
do
wscript.sleep 200
wshshell.sendkeys "{CAPSLOCK}"
wscript.sleep 100
wshshell.sendkeys "{NUMLOCK}"
wscript.sleep 50
wshshell.sendkeys "{SCROLLLOCK}"
loop

To end this disco, you need to end a process called “wscript.exe”. For best results, keep all the LEDs “Off” before starting the script.

Don’t forget to share this with your friends on Twitter and other sites!

Auto-Follow Is Abandoned

This was one of the positive points for Google Buzz. People could easily get started with Google Buzz. When I started with Google Buzz, I was following about 35+ people.  But, for people who are getting Google Buzz feature now, will not have the auto-follow feature. Instead they will be asked to follow people whom they know. Like the following image. Now, that’s a good change!

Auto-Integration Of Picasa And Google Reader

Yes, even this is removed. When I joined the Buzz, two sites were already connected – Picasa and Google Reader. This surely invades the privacy of a person. Even this has been removed in order to protect the privacy of its users. This can also be seen in the above picture itself.

This is clear contradiction to the Google’s speed theory.

The father of India, Mahatma Gandhi’s words, “There is more to life than increasing its Speed” definitely puts the chrome banner beside it, to shame.
