How To Use Google Search As An Online Timer

How To Use Google Search As An Online Timer
Learn about a simple search command that will let you use Google as an online timer to help you remind of any upcoming tasks. Use Google as an Online Timer Do you need a simple timer to remind you of upcoming tasks like picking up the laundary, making that phone call to your client or for sticking to the Pomodoro technique. There are good web apps, e.ggtimer.com for example, that let you create countdown timers in the browser quickly but you probably don’t need them anymore. That’s because you can now setup online timers inside Google itself by entering the timer command in the search box in the following format (the word “set” is optional): timer for <time> OR set timer for <time> The <time> can use a combination of hours, minutes and seconds. One more thing. This tip is courtesy Lifehacker.

Search Google Anonymously While Logged Into Google In Firefox One of the things that keeps some users from using Google Search is the certainty that everything that is done on the site is being logged and analyzed by Google. While it is possible to overcome this, for instance by launching searches only in the browser's private browsing mode, or using search engines such as Startpage that use Google search results but do not track you, you may prefer an automated solution that just works in the background without you doing anything. You could try and use Google while you are not signed in to your Google Account, but that too means some form of tracking as there are other means besides tracking a user by account. Plus, it means that you cannot use other Google Services such as Gmail properly without signing in first again. Another option would be to use two different web browsers, one for Google searches, the other for all other activities. The new Firefox add-on Searchonymous introduces a solution that resolves this issue.

Noeuds et surfaces de Seifert Le noeud le plus simple que l'on puisse imaginer est la "demi clé", et si l'on rejoint les deux bouts de la ficelle nouée, on obtient le "trêfle" ci-contre, un être mathématique étudié par la théorie des noeuds, une branche de la topologie aussi intéressante qu'esthétique. Le logiciel KnotPlot permet d'explorer ce monde étonnant et de représenter en 3D des noeuds très complexes, comme celui ci-contre. KnotPlot est cependant complexe à utiliser, aussi son auteur Rob Scharein a-t-il créé également KnotZoo, un catalogue de noeuds "simples" que l'on peut visualiser en 3D de manière interactive. L'applet Java de KnotZoo permet aussi de visualiser des noeuds plus complexes et de télécharger les modèles 3D des noeuds au format .OBJ Pour certains noeuds comme notre "demi clé", on peut créer une surface délimitée par la corde, un peu comme si on la trempait amidonnée dans de l'eau savonneuse pour créer une pellicule. Dans certains cas cette surface n'a qu'une face, comme un ruban de Moebius.
