Smart card project

Smart Card Project for Parking, fuel and other services related to one vehicle

Introduction:
This project looks into possibility of creating centralised IT system for parking places across UK. The purpose is to create unified card system by which users can pay for the parking slot they are using. Also this card expands beyond council owned parking slots. This project will enable usage of private car parks across country. This card is inspired by smart card implementations across the world. These smart cards are made up of RFID tag and can store data inside it. This card is also intended to use for multiple services related to the vehicle for example automated petrol station payment.

I started using GMAIL a long back. I was amazed not only due to its cool AJAX features but its other features such as quick search, Email tagging (you dont store emails in folders anymore).

One main feature I liked was to have synchronised with email client. Since I frequently travel or work from home, it is vital to have both synchronised all the time. Most of other providers thought to have POP3 access before , but it could only sync incoming emails, not outgoing.

Gmail offers two way synchronization. So if you are using your outlook to receive and send emails, they both can be synchronised with your gmail account. So you have two copies of emails at any given time (incoming & outgoing both).

I wanted to use this to my advantage, but I did not want to use gmail account as my corporate account. I wanted to keep my current email address vinayak@mycorporatedomain.com all the time. After going through all features of gmail, I figured out how to do it. Today I am going to explain how I did it.

I reckon high growth in Indic script content.

Due to lack of standardization, most of publishing was controlled by few entities and there was minimum integration or transportability between them.

On the web rare content is available in Indic scripts which includes Devnagri -Marathi, Hindi, Gujarati, gurumukhi (punjabi) and many other indian languages.

After introduction of Unicode and its support on all windows XP platform, it is vere much standardised now.
