I am a big crazy fan of the emoticon sets given by Gmail (Google) . The smileys I am referring to can be seen when you Compose a new email, gives you a lot more options than the chat

I think these come by default, I am not sure since I use the Extra Emoji lab to display smileys I never use So out of all the smileys I have ever used (yahoo, msn, icq, digsby, facebook & so on).. Gmail's smileys definitely WIN! They are not only super cute but they are much more different than the standard set of emoticons used by all other instant messaging services.

I am going to add here my favorite smileys. Maybe you guys could share your favorite emoticons? Sadly our forums will not allow you to add GIF extension so using the image tool is futile.

• First Place Hat's off, this little smiley wins every smiley battle ever waged.. It is so cute.. Awwww .. Just looking at it cheers me up (maybe I'll go hug my cat now)
  
• Second Place Can you see the little fist waving angrily? Too cute
  
• Third Place Probably the most random smiley there is... as random as this topic perhaps?

While going through the daily news, I happened to come across this article about Google's Driver less car. Announced in 2010 after securing a patent, Google has been working on a car that could help automate further the process of traveling. The volunteer in question was Steve Mahan, a blind person who quite honestly seems to be loving every second of the ride

The Google team modified a Prius for the sake of this project and apparently the driver less driver uses different technologies as sensors ranging from lasers, radars and video cameras. If you are interested in reading about other autonomous cars and general information on autonomous cars, here is the wiki .

As many news websites have mentioned, the common advantages of having these bot cars is that it reduces the number of owned cars, parking hassles and possibly a lot of pollution. Though they have stressed this to be a solution for the blind, it could be a solution for a lot of people. Because if it is a solution for blind people, it obviously would mean that no sort of supervision is required to keep the journey safe and user friendly.

Handicapped or recently handicapped people, old people who aren't as alert but still need a car. Pregnant women, drunk people, deaf people, those who can't drive. Epileptic people or even pet owners. A lot of people in this world needing cars but are not allowed to or cannot drive would really benefit. I would not mind if my car dropped me off at work and went along to do the same for others only to return back in the evening to pick me up

Even though it is true that there are still a lot of hurdles that need to be crossed before this car is ever seen on the road, it is a nice dream to float on. I would only hope that existing rules for human drivers would get stricter if these cars are coming onto the road since even with the best of technology, no driver is more responsive than a human driver and we remove the reckless ones, driving can be fun for all once again. Anyone else has any thoughts on this new car?

Cloudflare in a sentence is a service that delivers your website's data much faster with enhanced security. Cloudflare's service comes with both free & paid services, many people are opting for the free version but configuration of Cloudflare onto one's web hosting account can be tricky for those unfamiliar to DNS

So I put together a tutorial to teach you on How to Add Cloudflare for Your Web Hosting Account. It is not generally ComputingHost specific and 90% of the steps are the same.This is a tutorial for Linux/Cpanel hosting. To get started, you need :-

• Your ComputingHost Cpanel Account & its username/password. (You can request your provider/ComputingHost for your details if you don't have them.
  
• Your Xidomains or Xisto Support Login Details, the control panel is needed for the last step (Change of Nameservers).

---

STEP 1 :- Create an Account with Cloudflare

• Pretty self explanatory but please make sure to keep the details to this panel very safe.
  
• Use the help of Strong Password Generator to create a strong password for the account.

---

STEP 2 :- Select a Website

• Once again, pretty self explanatory, add the domain you want to configure Cloudflare for.
  
• Note :- Domain has to be registered & hosted in order for the service to work.

---

STEP 3 :- Configure Records

• These records, the DNS records are crucial for the healthy working of your website. If any of your records is configured incorrectly, your website's performance could suffer majorly.
  
• It is best to add these records immediately to avoid any problems in the account.

Now comes the main question.. " How do I find my hosting account's DNS records? " . By default, any site's DNS record is visible in its Cpanel / Control Panel which is where the Cpanel details come to good use.

• Login to your Computing Host Cpanel account with the username & password, the login url is yoursite.com:2082 or yoursite.com/cpanel
  
• We will be using a very nifty tool called "Advanced DNS Zone Editor" provided by Computing Host Cpanel Hosting.

• Go to the Domains section and then click on Advanced Editor

• Use the Find tool on the left side of your Cpanel Home Page.
  
• Select the domain & wait for the DNS records to load.

You should see this kind of a page, I have hidden my domain name which is why you see white spaces, your page will show YOURSITE.COM. (notice the dot/period in the end of the site name?)



Note:- Your MX entries(mail server entries) can be found under Mail -> Mx Entry

• We can find a site's basic DNS details using an online site. A few good and easy to use sites are :-
  
  • Who.is
    
  • Network-tools
    
  • Ping.eu
• You will be using the DNS Records service to get the details you need.

---

Warning* :- If there you are unsure of ANYTHING, do not touch it. Change in any of the values could cause errors in your website or in the services. For any help with configuration, contact support with login details to both Cpanel and Cloudflare -> support(at)computinghost(dot)com

The first record we will add is the A record for your website. The A record is a DNS setting used to map / connect your site name to the webserver ip / your dedicated ip. It will do the job of making sure yoursite.com points to where you are currently hosted.

Select

Type "A"
Name = yoursite.com. (Add the dot/period at the end of the website.It is important).
Value = ip you see in Cpanel or in the online DNS record.
TTL = 1 day

---

Do the same for all your records EXCEPT for Nameserver records, these would be given by Cloudflare. And Don't forget the MX records. Your MX records will be based on your mail service


CPANEL / WEBMAIL / LOCAL MX SETTINGS

Type "MX"
Name = yoursite.com. (with dot in end)
mail handled by = yoursite.com. (with dot in end)
with Priority = 0

GOOGLE APPS MX SETTINGS (Logic Plan users)

Type = MX

name = yoursite.com. (Do not forget the dot at the end of name and for mail handled by)
mail handled by = ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. with Priority = 10
mail handled by =ALT1.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. with Priority = 20
mail handled by =ALT2.ASPMX.L.GOOGLE.COM. with Priority = 20
mail handled by =ASPMX2.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. with Priority = 30
mail handled by =ASPMX3.GOOGLEMAIL.COM. with Priority = 30



An example for CNAME & TXT just in case someone needs help adding these :-

CNAME RECORD

Type = Cname
Name = www / mail / ftp and so on
is an alias of yoursite.com.



TXT RECORD

Type = TXT
Name = service
Text Record value = "v=spf1 a -all" (with the " symbol)

---

STEP 4 :- Choose Initial Settings

• Once more self explanatory with the except of the 3 types of optimization they give you with their content delivery network service (CDN)

---

STEP 5 :- Update your DNS

• At this step, Cloudflare will have provided you a set of custom nameservers, you need to add these where your existing nameservers are.
  
• For this you need to login to your Xidomains / Xisto Support panel (Xisto Support is the same place you login to pay your invoices and check your mycents) OR You domain management panel provided by the company that has registered your domain.
  
• Find your domain and change the nameservers to the ones given by Cloudflare

And you are done The service should start working immediately but for complete propagation, please allow 24 hours. Clicking on Details will show you the above steps so if in case you want to add a missing DNS enty, login to your cloudflare account, go to websites and then click on "Details" of the account.

If I have missed some information or you'd like to see something more in here, please pm me the details
