Notebook

I am trying to look for a notebook that could expand and collapse inside the notebook...too much to ask?

AM-notebook is not bad.

Yahoo Email Plus in Outlook

I tried to setup Yahoo Email into outlook 2007, easy, right?
Here is the link for the detail

But then I realized that I also want to sync my Yahoo folders (other than inbox) too, and I am stuck. That's the point I realize the different between pop3 and imap4. And Yahoo only provides pop service, that's why I could not get my Yahoo folders. But I know I could get all my Yahoo folders in my HTC EVO, then I go ahead to check the settings, I realized that in my HTC EVO, the setting are the followings:
IMAP Server: android.imap.mail.yahoo.com
Security Type: SSL
Server port: 993
android.smtp.mail.yahoo.com
SSL
465

I also know Dovetail Email could also download folders, wondering what the setup?

Avery

I got this avery add-in for Word (in my google docs), it's great to print label.

After installation, you'll find "Avery" at the top of menus (after add-ins). Click it, it will show icon for "Avery Wizard", it will show you

For my printer, I put the label paper at where I put photo paper, it's working great!

Eclipse conflicts with ClipMagic

I like ClipMagic, which gives me total control on ClipBoard, plus some additional perks.

But Eclipse is my bread, which I make a living on it.

Now, one of my favorite thing that I do quite often in Eclipse: alt + up/down to copy lines are not working, I then found it has something to do with ClipMagic, as I close ClipMagic, alt = up/down works....

Now I need find out how to let these two work together....

I have decided scrapping ClipMagic using Ditto....

Total Commander

Why I want to use Total Commander?

1. multiple windows operations.
2. multiple files/folder renaming.
3. save your selections into a file.
4. synchronizations: they will check the differences. ask your which way to sync.
5. Powerful search: full text search. (might need enable unicode)
6. Copy multiple files' name, path, detail into clipboard.



todo.txt

This is todo tool for cygwin (not just for cygwin).

couple of things to set up:

export PATH=$PATH:"C:\cygwin\home\hliu\working_dir\todo.txt_cli-2.7"
chmod +x todo.sh
mv todo.cfg ~/.
(make some changes on todo.cfg, like define location of todo.txt and colors)
in .bashrc
alias t='todo.sh -d C:/cygwin/home/hliu/todo.cfg'

some commands
t add "go to drug store"
t do 1
t pri 1 A
t depri 1 A
t ls

Console2

This almost drove me crazy.

I am using Console2, but there is one problem really bother me: I could display previous commands. When I hit Up arrow key, it always scroll the screen up. Finally, I found how to fix this: Settings->Hotkeys, uncheck "Use scroll lock for scrolling".

Now, I am happy.

Command Line vs Runas

In the last post, I have listed a lot of run as commands, well, it's great, but the problem is I need invoke run as first by hitting START + R, then type in the commands. What I really want is I could invoke everything from command line.

Well, windows' default cmd utility sucks, but I found an alternative: Console2. It's pretty nice.

To invoke run as commands in Console2, you need type START first. For example, to invoke excel, you need type like

start excel
