how to filter the unread emails from outlook

 “ Hey - that's an interesting request - something I could use as well...I just did it in my outlook.

 

If you'll click on the "arranged by: date" at the top of your e-mail and then scroll down to 'custom'.

 

Click on Filter on the new menu and then click on 'more choices' then click on the top item that says 'Only items that are unread' and you should be set!

 

Hope this helps...let us know...” Source: http://forums.techguy.org/business-applications/538271-sorting-messages-outlook-2003-a.html

Ms Publisher

Picture snapshot can be easily editable via Ms Publisher.  First, print screen and paste on Ms Publisher.  Then it can be quickly saved as images as easy as Right Click>Save As.

Easy edit (border, crop, recolor, resize) can be done via Ms Publisher too.

Revert the display of Ms Visual Basic's display

 

I am used to the default layout, whereby the project explorer is at the left panel and codes are on the right.  I accidently close one of them and when I reopen it again, it is all displayed as cascade view.

 

This can be solved by clicking Tool> Options and choose the Docking Tab.  Check on the Project Exporer checkbox and you will find your visual Basic’s project explorer appeared as dockable state.

 

 

 

Never trust odd emails/calls especially from bankers

Source

KUALA LUMPUR: Accounts manager Chua Ming Choo opened a message in her e-mail informing her that there was some irregular activity occurring in her account.

The e-mail told her to click a link to her bank’s website to update her particulars for safer online banking.

Less than five minutes later, the simple mouse click cost her RM4,200

Another victim, Chong Wen Shan, 24, from Teluk Intan, Perak, said he received an e-mail on May 1 informing him that his online services account was about to expire due to a database update on the bank’s system.

Chong said he was asked to update his particulars and being new to e-banking, he thought it was a normal procedure and clicked on the link.

He also keyed in his TAC number when asked and discovered that RM5,000 had gone missing from his account a few hours later.

 

 

In my point of view, these are the safest things to do :

1. For online bank transaction – always go to the website instead of clicking the links in the email.  Links can be bogus and may looks exactly the same in users’ eyes, but actually, it can be linked to other bogus sites that gather all your pins and password info.
2. Random calls from bankers – always verify the identity of banker – check if they know your IC’s address or current correspondence address or other personal info they ought to know.  Never commit any purchases via calls.  If you are really interested, you can go visit to the nearest bank for these.  It isn’t safe to disclose your card info via calls.

 

 

Create Blogger Post via Email

Here’s an easy way to post your post to blogspot. This is helpful especially for bloggers who has multiple blogs to be updated at the same time and also ease a lot when you have multiple pictures to be uploaded.

Furthermore, this method is less obvious if you have prying eyes behind you – that is without the need to log to blogger.com at all.

As shown in the picture above, you just need to assign the password in between your username and the domain and when you send the post contain, you will need to email it to the email address that you had configured inside your blogger account. Ie. Amandayno.*****@blogger.com

Any pictures can be attached in your email like normal attachment. If you want your attachments to be displayed in a required sequence, you have to rename the files in sequential order, ie. Pic1, Pic2, Pic3.jpg, etc.

This only works if you send email using HTML format instead of the Richtext.

Interesting News: New Viagra alternative discovered by Malaysian Pest Controller

Here’s a very interesting discovery from a Malaysian.  He swallow the queen alive? I wonder if there are any side effects. I really wonder how did he discovered it in the first place.  And the worm like queen does looks like it contains lots of FATTY ingredient.  If all men seeking for termites queen, I can see that this bug will soon become extinct and it will be a commit suicide for termite control business.

 

“Queen termites can make men king in bed, says man.

A MAN involved in the pest control business has claimed eating queen termites can boost the sexual prowess for men. Metro Ahad reported Abdul Rahim Abu Bakar as saying queen termites had special properties similar to that of viagra. He said the bug must be swallowed alive 15 minutes before the start of sexual activity for it to be effective.” Source: http://thestar.com.my/news/story.asp?file=/2011/5/9/nation/8643640&sec=nation

Reduce PDF File Size

PDF is the commonly used file type used.  For cases when there's photos embedded in the PDF, file size can grow up to few hundred megabytes.  Zip will not work on images, meaning to say that, it will not help to compress the images.  Small sized PDF is beneficial if we need to have the file emailed.

I have a solution which is to use the Adobe Acrobat Professional Software.  The current version i have is 9.0.  Thi s is also PDF writer and editor.  The pictures below shows how we achieve the compression that we need.

Absolute and Relative Paths

ABSOLUTE VS RELATIVE PATH

 

I often get confused with these 2 terms but I knew that there’s a difference between them.

 

“Absolute path eg. http://webdesign.about.com/od/beginningtutorials/a/aa040502a.htm

Relative path eg. http://webdesign.about.com/library/beginning/bl_begin.htm  If I were to link to this URL from another page on my site, I could link to it in this way: <a href="/library/beginning/bl_begin.htm">...</a> “ (Source: clickhere)

  

The advantages of Relative path over the absolute is that we do not need to quote the whole domain URL when we do the linking.  This makes web maintenance job a lot easier especially when we are thinking of migrating the domain.

 

 

MASKING YOUR ABSOLUTE PATH

 

To protect your site being directly hacked, you can actually mask/hide the absolute path.  This site explains it all.
