It's almost three months since I started blogging at buzznol. In past three months I have posted many blog posts. Actually I wanted this blog to be about all the topics and news related to technology and its impact on our day to day life. But till now I've mainly blogged about various topics related to computer software. So in the future you will notice the change in this trend because I am planning to include blog posts on many topics such as robotics, space technology, solar power,wind energy etc. By writing on all the topics related to technology, I believe that buzznol will really become a technology blog and attract more readers interested in technology news and topics. But this does not mean that I'll stop blogging about computer software, as many of the visitors till now were mostly interested in the blog posts related to software. So, lets wait and see how the blog at buzznol develops.
Last week I wanted a program which could directly send email from my computer. Initially I tried the SMTP server that comes with windows XP but I was unable to configure it properly. Hence I googled to search for alternative SMTP server programs. While searching I found SMTP server program which is easy to install, it's called Free SMTP server. It's a small and sweet program. It is a smtp program that lets you send email messages directly from your computer. It is a very convenient for the people traveling around the world and connecting their computers to different ISPs all the time. Instead of using your ISP's SMTP server you can use free SMTP program to increase security and privacy.

Just type "localhost" instead of your ISP is SMTP server address and you are done.
Free SMTP server works on Windows 98/ME/NT/2000/XP/Vista.
