So then I started spending a lot of time simply moving messages from the inbox to the archived folder. Also when I read a message and move it, it was not marked as read. I hated wasting those precious 2 seconds

So I googled something like “outlook 2010 archive plugin” and ended up at lifehacker:
http://lifehacker.com/5175347/add-a-gmail+like-archive-button-to-microsoft-outlook

The lifehacker example was for outlook 2007 and for an inbox with a single folder (one email address).

I created the certificate, I added the developer tools using this link:
http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee814736.aspx

I enabled Macros using this information:

http://answers.microsoft.com/en-us/office/forum/office_2010-outlook/how-to-enable-macros-in-outlook-2010/791d5b21-c3e9-4e09-89f9-ea53341d7cb0

and I used the following code (worked fine for one folder):

Sub Archive()
Set ArchiveFolder = Application.GetNamespace("MAPI").GetDefaultFolder(olFolderInbox).Folders("Archived")
For Each Msg In ActiveExplorer.Selection
Msg.Move ArchiveFolder
Next Msg
End Sub


Make sure you folder is named “Archived” or change the code.

Now what happened to me was, if I archived an email from my devry folder, it went into the sage/archived. That would not do.
Also the messages were still UnRead = true unless I clicked off of them and back on.

So I used this code for my situation:


Sub Archive()

For j = 1 To Folders.Count
If Folders(j).Name = "Jason.Huber@sage.com" Or Folders(j).Name = "jhuber@devry.edu" Then
If Folders(j).Name = ActiveExplorer.CurrentFolder.Parent Then
Set ArchiveFolder = Folders(j).Folders(2).Folders(1)
For Each Msg In ActiveExplorer.Selection
Msg.UnRead = False
Msg.Move ArchiveFolder
Next Msg
End If
End If
Next j
End Sub


Let me know if it works for you.

I was watching this video : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=81lBL_5xHno and had a thought.

Initially the thought was something like “Books are the original form of distance learning.”

And then I realized that when the press was developed that might not have been the purpose. Perhaps it was. You could read the Bible (and interpret the interpretation, in German I believe, by a Great man – Martin Luther) without the assistance of a member of the Church. If I remember correctly–from the dvds i watched–this was a reason the Church was so against the press.

Anyway. Watch your “p”s and “q”s.

So are books a form of distance learning? Does the average author of a book of learning intend an instructor to be present when the book us used for learning? I think not.

Certainly some books are meant to be used by an instructor in a classroom, but the vast majority of books going back many, many years are meant to be read by a person intellectually capable of grasping the content within. I do not mean to say that I would not have learned more by attending class under Master Luther rather than “reading” the New Testament on my iPod (yes iPod at the time–old school). I would hope that at least Mathew, Mark , Luke and John in their little nutshell would have written their pieces with the intention that a simple person such as myself could understand what they wrote.

To wrap this up. Books are the original form of distance and time spanning learning. No instructor needed. If you think I can only learn by attending a class where you speak to me you are mistaken.

I agree. Speak up, get involved, and be loud. This is not a one way street. If all I do is preach and you listen you are sure to learn less than if you question, challenge, and participate!

Finished five papers in as many days. I was a bit sick, but used my time effectively.

Anyway. Good book!

It not only allows me to share my screen and give control but also let students share their screens and I take control. Just great. It was fast and clear.

I recorded using camtasia since the mikogo recording was in a proprietary format, but I did that anyway.

The only drawback and it is MINOR is a lack of built in audio. I had skype, so we used that. No problem. Thanks Mikogo!

Jane wrote about this today and her list fails to mention join.me which I find to be an easy and outstanding service.

I use this for face-to-face class meetings! I have students in the classroom that I give the link to so that they can better see the screen. The projectors at my school are top of the line, but cannot adequately display a 1440X900 resolution so that a students 20 feet away can see my code. Their physical machine can easily. Also they can screenshot or record from their local machine if they want (and they do!).

I say get join.me. I might even pay for an account I use it so much.

Jane – add join.me to the TOP of your list. Most of the other services you have alphabetically listed are worthless.

I think this is a great point. A 2 minute response time is unreasonable when you are attending an 8-12 week course. What about a 3 day course packed full of information. You probably expect an answer immediately right?

Can we use that sort of thing in technical training? Sure! The grading rubric tells the student what is expected of the in the assignment. Lazy students will use it to figure out the minimum they can do to still get the grade they need, but this isn’t generally a problem with technical training. Our student are very motivated leathers.

So we create a final hands on project and a rubric and add that to the course. The hands on is probably going to be an analysis project. Why had an analysis project in a technical training course? I propose that after troubleshooting skills, analysis is the area where many developers could really use some help.

We shall see:)

I agree and at DeVry I wouldn’t teach something that was not used in the real world by programmers. We are making this same changes elsewhere too.

So I needed some iPhone software. For that I went to iCam. I was able to check to see if my cameras were supported before I picked up the app. It works great.

There is a piece of software you need to have running on a pc to publish the feed though, so I have that running on my home server. I actually have one instance per camera running as a service to autostart with the server. I just realized I rebooted it “the hard way” and the cameras are up, so cool!

So some iPhone software, an app running on the server and a server. So far so good. I used the same process to run these apps as services as I have for dropbox.

So when we went to vegas I had the cameras wirelessly watching the dog and now I have wired them (it is much faster) directly to the router. It was hot in the attic.

The iCam software can actually turn on and off motion sensing from the iPhones, so you can not only see the motion events that are captured along with a real time video, but also turn off the feature which can also send you push notifications if you want. It is pretty full featured. I only have 2 cameras and have room for 2 more. I will need a new router at that point! The motion events it captures are in jpg, so I have those saved to my dropbox on the homeserver that way my laptop and iPhone get the new pics when there is motion. So I can view the pics that way too.

It finally stopped locking so I had to replace it. $150 and I had it replaced. I had to drill out one rivet that was holding in the window rail at the bottom to get out the actuator. I went to ace and purchased a stainless steel replacement button screw with a locking nut.

The hard part was the heat. It was like 120 in the garage….

Anyway here are some pics:

I only have AT&T so I had to unlock the G1 first here: http://www.unlock-tmobileg1.com/. Within an hour I had my unlock code. I tried to call TMobile and although I was able to give them some story about the phone the email came back in the morning telling me I had to have my service for 60 days.

Then I have a problem with the speaker on the phone. I will probably end up replacing the earpiece, but for now I thought I could root it and patch the speaker volume settings. I needed root and I figured I would installed 2.1 at the same time since I was on 1.6.

I followed this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=Full_Update_Guide_-_HTC_Dream which also includes this: http://wiki.cyanogenmod.com/index.php?title=DangerSPL_%26_CyanogenMod_5/6.

So I can tell you it was a bit scary compared with jailbreaking, but if you follow the directions and be careful to check the antenna version you will be ok. I hope to upgrade to 2.2, but 2.1 is much better than 1.6 for sure.
