With cricket fever kind of ended with IPL, or rather a momentary pause, its time to switch over to yet another craze. EURO’08 is about to start from June 7th and all the football fans will be tied to their television sets to watch the same. This time its being jointly hosted by Austria and Switzerland; so guys who are in European countries these days might have the chance of a lifetime! J

Apart from letting you guys know about this major event; my other idea was to share the beautiful site which these guys have come up with. Specially check the page: http://en.euro2008.uefa.com/tournament/

There is a 4-way navigation wherein:
--> you can choose your individual participating COUNTRY and check the venue, dates, the group and the matches.
--> you can choose the GROUP and check all the matches for that group, dates and venues
--> you can choose the DATE and check all the matches between the groups at different venues
--> you can choose the VENUE and check all the matches that gonna take place there.

It’s amazing to see so much of information on one single screen. The data is well placed; screen doesn’t look cumbersome. In fact it’s soothing to the eyes. The four navigators on the sides act as the selection criterion and the centre screen for the details.

Flash is definitely the order of the day in website development.

Have fun….

FEATURE_ERROR_USER_OPEN_NO_ACCESS

Like millions of users all the across the globe, I tried logging into my yahoo mailbox this morning. but hey whats going on, the application is not accepting my user id and password. I quickly did a sanity check for the CAPS lock. Has my account hacked or something? Noooo :-((

Then the next thing i tired was to change my password. But the application gave me the following error: "FEATURE_ERROR_USER_OPEN_NO_ACCESS". Now what is this? I started feeling a bit of shock and tried to google this message. I found lot many people are facing this issue and are worried. But i was now relaxed since i'm not the only one in the apin and i was sure Yahoo will surely look into this soon.

On googling I found that the error "FEATURE_ERROR_USER_OPEN_NO_AC mean:
FEATURE_ERROR - the feature from Yahoo! which you are trying to use for that particular ID is unavailable
USER_OPEN - the user ID which you are trying to reset the password cannot be opened for recovery
NO_ACCESS - currently you are not allowed to access the specified user ID

With so many important information packed in our yahoo (or for that matter any mailbox), have we ever thought what will happen if suddenly all these mailboxes stop working or the services are discontinued??

Keep yourself ready........

pss.... yahoo mailbox services are restored!!! :)) YAHOOOOOOOOO!!
