Using Rules To Block Sender in Outlook 2002

I’ve had a few clients ask me about blocking unwanted messages from specific senders in Outlook 2002, so I thought I’d post it here to benefit as many as possible.  As with many simple tasks in I.T., it’s much easier to show than to explain. Note that this rule will run only for NEW MESSAGES.  You’ll have to manually delete any unwanted messages that are already in your inbox. … Read entire article »

Black & Decker Pocket Power

Via Viddler Check it out!  A portable powerhouse of a battery that charges any USB 5v device in the field!  But wait.. there’s more!  (I love saying that!) it also has an inverter onboard to supply up to 15 Watts of simulated 120 volts AC to charge your wall wart dependent devices as well.  This was a lifesaver at a recent Podcamp I attended.  Kept my Blackberry going all day long with full data use! … Read entire article »

So.. You Want To Be A Programmer?

With the way the job market is I’m sure there are many young folks out there that are starting to think about what kind of career track they should follow.  So it occured to me that I should put together a post about a position I was familiar with.. or should I say, became familiar with.

Outlook 2003 Can’t Send Outside Domain with No Errors – Help!

Okay, once again I’m baffled with an issue that I’m hoping one of you can help me solve.  Here’s the deal… Configuration: Microsoft Office XP (Outlook 2003) on a Windows XP (SP3) system connected to a POP3 email host. Sympton: Sending an email to anyone@mydomain.com works as expected.  Sending email to another domain (MSN, HOTMAIL, GMAIL etc.) never arrives at its destination. Why I’m Stumped (workflow): Email can be created with or without Word as my default email editor. Clicking Send/Receive produces the familiar “1 of 1 email being sent” and the process completes 100% without any error message. Prior to the Send/Receive process the email does sit in the outbound queue (Outbox) After a Send/Receive the email is moved to the … Read entire article »

T-Mobile Finds Some Unprofitable

T-Mobile Finds Some Customers Unprofitable This video based on an actual event depicts a T-Mobile customer on a national calling plan being having their service terminated because they spend too much time roaming on a partner network. So much for national calling plans. I used to be a T-Mobile customer and like the character in this video was very happy and enthusiastic. My reasons for leaving was different. (Caught in an endless loop of phone replacements instead of admitting that I simply exceeded the limitations of their network/devices). Seeing this just makes me feel better about being a happy Sprint customer now! … Read entire article »

Net Neutrality, Let’s not get complacent.

Net Neutrality, Let’s not get complacent.

If you follow Sever Purkiss you’ll know he’s not a fan of Virgin Media at all, often linking to this well done video opposing Virgins “Ballocks” attitude toward new neutrality. As a result I’ve been linking to the video as well from several of my sites. For the vast majority of my readers I know you don’t have Virgin as … Read entire article »
