Stolen phones to be blacklisted

Well, everyone around the world will know that cellphone theft is a huge problem all over. I think that most people in South Africa has experienced cellphone theft first hand.

At last someone is doing something to try and stop this problem. I really hope that this will prevent criminals from stealing cellphones.

Microsoft.Win32.SystemEvents Class

Most of you might have known this for some time now, but this is my first time working with it.

This is so cool and could be very usefull in the future. The SysemEvents class basicly provides a set of global system events to it's callers. You can find a list of SystemEvents Members here

"System events are things such as shutdown notifications and changes to user preferences. When a system event is raised calls back the corresponding delegate from a different thread. Therefore, you should make the call thread-safe. If you need to call a system event that is not exposed as a member of this class, you can use the InvokeOnEventsThread method.

Note   Do not perform time-consuming processing in a system event notification because it might prevent other applications from functioning."

GMail diskspace grew to 2056mb over the weekend.

Well, after reading Kevin's post on Gmail giving away more storage space, I checked it out myself and yes, my storage has doubled over the weekend.

Guess, this wasn't just an April Fool's joke afterall.
