Free SMS on Gmail

Dear Reader,

I just found a new feature of gmail via notification. The pop up says that Gmail now introduce a SMS feature on the web. I’d like to share about free SMS on gmail Account. Gmail had a feature to send SMS to your Gmail contact list. Thanks Google, to makes life easier. To try the feature we can do the step as follow :

1. add contact to your contact list
2. type the name of your contact person on Chat and SMS textfield
3. on chat box type messages then Enter. Viola

There is a rule for this kind of SMS feature. There is a credit message for each contact person. When you send a message, the credit (Messages remaining) would be decrase by 1. But if you receive a messege from your contact person, your credit would be increase. In case your SMS credit goes down to zero at any point, it will increase back up to one 24 hours later. So, you won’t ever be locked out of the system.

Enjoy the feature

FLV to MP3 an easy way on Ubuntu

Dear readers,
I’ve got a good news from a community/forums on how easy to convert flv to mp3 on Ubuntu. Let me shout step by step as follows :

1. Grab a ffmpeg from repositories. Open terminal and type code below.
   sudo apt-get install ecasound mpg123 lame ffmpeg
2. Prepare your flv file for example your file at /home/[username]/video. At this example ‘/desu’ is my username.
   ffmpeg -i /home/desu/video/video.flv -ac 2 -ar 44100 -ab 320 /home/desu/music/audio.mp3
3. Then you got the .mp3 file automagically. Well Done!
