The Domain Name System (DNS) translates human-friendly computer hostnames into IP addresses. For example, the hostname ‘prashanthpai.com’ is translated into the IP address ’173.192.205.230′.

How to change your DNS
Changing DNS server settings
I always wanted to know the prices of latest computer hardware components in India. The hardware manufacturers wouldn’t put the MRP (including bill and warranty) of their products on their site. If I find it on their site, it would be in USD($). Converting $ into Rs can’t be effective translation of the cost that an end user has to pay as there will be local taxes and import duties etc. I had to look in shopping sites like eBay.in, Sify, Rediff, Indiatimes etc to know the prices which is quite a lot cumbersome.
Tip:
Sometimes, the hardware dealers in your locality might be having some old stock and they would be selling them at higher prices. Always remember the general rule regarding almost all computer related electronic components – The prices always slash down. So do not buy anything in advance – just wait for it. Some months back, I bought a 19″ widescreen TFT for Rs.9k. After about just a month, its price slashed down to Rs. 7.6k. Then I got the feeling that – what if I waited for a month ? I could have saved some bucks 
Take the case of flash drives. A couple of years back, I got complimentary pen drive – a 1 GB one. Back then it was Rs. 1500 ! Now its hardly Rs 300 !!! Flash drive rates have slashed too much and some day will lose popularity. I would dream of the day when sellers would yell in footpath – “Dus ka teen”

What is Lynx ?
Lynx is a free open-source, text-only Web browser. Many search engines like Google recommend you to look at your site using Lynx browser as the search engine crawlers and bots ‘see’ your pages the way Lynx sees.
Browsing in Lynx consists of highlighting the chosen link using cursor keys, or having all links on a page numbered and entering the chosen link’s number. Lynx cannot display various types of non-text content on the web, such as images and video, but it can launch external programs to handle it, like an image viewer or video player. The speed benefits of text-only browsing are most apparent when using low bandwidth internet connections, or older computer hardware that may be slow to render image-heavy content.
Why use Lynx now ?
Most search engine spiders see your site much as Lynx would. If fancy features such as JavaScript, cookies, session IDs, frames, DHTML, or Flash keep you from seeing all of your site in a text browser, then search engine spiders may have trouble crawling your site. Read more…

In this post, I am going to explain one of the two simple ways to redirect a webpage to another webpage.
Client Side Redirect (carried out by your browser)
You can create a webpage that instructs the browser to redirect a webpage to another after certain time delay. The time delay is purely optional.
This is achieved using the meta refresh command which is to be placed within the head tags. Here’s the general syntax :
<head>
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="N; URL=destination_webpage_address">
</head>
The browser redirects the user from the current page to the destination webpage address specified in the “URL” attribute of the meta tag after a time delay of N seconds. Read more…
