<p>Today someone stopped me in public and said he saw me on facebook. I asked him if he wanted an autograph. He said no. I felt famous anyway.</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RaminHossaini/~4/agxLKiH4TLY" height="1" width="1"/> 0 http://blog.ramin-hossaini.com/2009/07/15/090715/ Ramin Hossaini http://www.ramin-hossaini.com http://blog.ramin-hossaini.com/?p=370 2009-07-13T16:21:54Z 2009-07-13T16:21:54Z

<p>Listened to &#8220;Carl Orff &#8211; O fortuna&#8221; ( http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=KyGz_17_0lk ) today. I felt like something dramatic would happen. Nothing did.</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RaminHossaini/~4/JnefkxWcV-Q" height="1" width="1"/> 0 http://blog.ramin-hossaini.com/2009/07/13/090713/ Ramin Hossaini http://www.ramin-hossaini.com http://blog.ramin-hossaini.com/?p=368 2009-07-13T12:47:52Z 2009-07-13T12:47:52Z

<p>I realise there&#8217;s a lot of strange and amusing things that happen to me daily. I&#8217;ve already been posting them to my facebook profile for a while, but I&#8217;m going to post them here too.</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RaminHossaini/~4/23AQxRyMaCw" height="1" width="1"/> 0 http://blog.ramin-hossaini.com/2009/07/13/a-day-in-the-life/ Ramin Hossaini http://www.ramin-hossaini.com http://blog.ramin-hossaini.com/?p=366 2009-07-13T12:29:06Z 2009-07-13T12:29:06Z

<p>As of today, I&#8217;ll be annoying less people by publishing the full-text of my blog entries (as opposed to publishing only the summary)</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RaminHossaini/~4/Qyz_-Q-HtQs" height="1" width="1"/> 2 http://blog.ramin-hossaini.com/2009/07/13/rss-config-feed-change/ Ramin Hossaini http://www.ramin-hossaini.com http://blog.ramin-hossaini.com/?p=361 2009-07-05T18:13:32Z 2009-07-05T18:13:32Z

<p>How many times have you sent an email message and immediately wished you didn&#8217;t?</p> <p>Gmail has added a feature that people have been requesting for ages. If you enable the feature (in labs), it adds a 5 second delay to your emails being sent. During the delay, you have the option to undo the email being sent (Awesomeness).</p> <p><img src="http://blog.ramin-hossaini.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/03/undo_send.png" alt="undo_send" title="undo_send" width="530" height="100" class="alignnone size-full wp-image-358" /></p> <p>I have to wonder how long it&#8217;s going to be before other webmail services copy this feature.</p> <img src="http://feeds.feedburner.com/~r/RaminHossaini/~4/AQbeDQVpKDw" height="1" width="1"/> 0 http://blog.ramin-hossaini.com/2009/03/20/gmail-adds-undo-send-email-in-labs/ Ramin Hossaini http://www.ramin-hossaini.com http://blog.ramin-hossaini.com/?p=353 2009-03-18T08:23:31Z 2009-03-18T08:23:31Z
