site123 test with Drupal

I received my regular update from codelobster this morning.  It was on their details page where I saw ‘Drupal” and decided to know what it really was all about.

Anyway, I just fell in love with Drupal. I think its a cool tool though, easy installation, not much to graple with on the technical side. I just set it up on my local XAMPP development machine, which I have been using for target practice. I have been actually looking for a tool I could use in setting up a website, a forum and a weblog all in one pack, and with the few things I have seen on Drupal, it seems it might be possible after all.

I have also been thinking of promoting this weblog. Anyway, I set up 3 user accounts, and made a post with each username.

howto send and forward emails as attachments

Problem:
- emails are flying back and forth and here you are, using MS Outlook. (I am using MS Outlook 2003 as of this writing)
- as replies to a particular email XYZ are flying back and forth, everyone is just pressing Reply, and by now when you open the email, the scroll bar getting thinner and thinner. Besides, who wants to be scrolling through emails sent over a month ago.

Solution:
- make your reply look as if all the previous mails were a large attachment, so you could get a full scroll bar to yourself (left Pic).

 

 

How to:
1) Open your outlook email client and click the TOOLS menu

2) Select OPTIONS 

 

3) The options window pops up. Under the Preferences menu, click EMAIL-OPTIONS the first option beside ‘Junk E-mail’.

 

 

 

 

 

 

4) The E-mail Options window now pops up. It has two sections: message handling and on replies and forwards. In the ‘On replies and forwards’ section, pull down the menu’s ‘when replying a message’ and ‘when forwarding a message‘.  This is where you can make changes to ‘Attach original Message’ when replying to a message and when forwarding a message.

Select “ATTACH ORIGINAL MESSAGE’ .

You might want to try out each option and see how the cap fits.

At the end of the day, what you wanted to achieve is achieved: below.

Windows Process monitoring with Windows Process Monitor

I was looking for a tool I could use to prevent installation of software on a Windows XP Professional PC, and on an Administrator account.

Anyway, I found something else: Windows Process Monitor

Process Monitor is an advanced monitoring tool for Windows that shows real-time file system, Registry and process/thread activity. It combines the features of two legacy Sysinternals utilities, Filemon and Regmon, and adds an extensive list of enhancements including rich and non-destructive filtering, comprehensive event properties such session IDs and user names, reliable process information, full thread stacks with integrated symbol support for each operation, simultaneous logging to a file, and much more. Its uniquely powerful features will make Process Monitor a core utility in your system troubleshooting and malware hunting toolkit.

Process Monitor runs on Windows 2000 SP4 with Update Rollup 1, Windows XP SP2, Windows Server 2003 SP1, and Windows Vista as well as x64 versions of Windows XP, Windows Server 2003 SP1 and Windows Vista.

The tool is too cool to be true. Click here to read more and download. What on earth have I been missing hey!!!

heres a quick one:

1) So you want to know what process is consuming resources on your PC / server, click tools >> process activity summary.

2) I just did a process count of my download software: flashget.

Tools >> Count occurrences >> click ‘filter’ >>
- under the first pull-down menu, select Process-name
- under the second, leave as ‘is’
- under the third, select the (.exe) executable. I selected flashget.exe
- then click ‘Add’. A (green) icon then appears under the 4-column / table display
- lastly, click on ‘Apply

There are 2,369 occurrences.

 

p.s: don’t forget to read the help file.
