Create GMail Mailing List Filter

znx — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 20:39:54 +0000

One of my friends was having trouble filtering a mailing list today with GMail. Turns out he didn’t know that GMail makes it simple:

Open on of the mailing list e-mail
Expand the “Show Details” link.
Click on the “Filter messages from this mailing list” link

That’s it instant filter, then you setup the label you wish and the actions. Just one more reason why I really love using GMail!

Internet WIN

Sometimes you come across something striking on the internet. An excellent thread on MetaFi is one of those.

Two Russian girls were dead set on going to NYC for a very suspicious job offer. A worried friend of theirs posted a question, the rest you can read for yourself.

Updates

So it has been a while since I posted last and I felt like updating and cleaning stuff up. The tags and categories have been improved and reduced to help with clarity. I have switched to a new theme, although it is still created by the previous designer.

I have also added a Google CSE to assist with searching for a particular post, although I don’t exactly have too many.

I am very impressed with how WordPress has improved over recent times. The automatic upgrade is impressive and will surely ensure that less WP installs are hacked. The theme/plug-in search is quick and very easy to use, thus insuring that people will not be stuck with one design, or missing a vital plug-in. These two can be upgraded on the fly. Overall a real improvement proving that WP is a mature and stable piece of software.

There is only one minor annoyance and that is the speed at which pages are served, I do feel it could be slightly quicker.

Hope you all enjoy the updates that I applied!

Microsoft Business Productivity Racism?

I was recently pointed to the English and Polish pages for the MS Business Productivity. The most striking thing about the difference between the pages is that one depicts a white individual in place of a black individual. What could be the purpose of altering the image, surely it isn’t racism, after all the Chinese individual is still in place.

Strange what goes through the brain of MS Business Productivity.

Funny Farm

So I came across a great game a few days ago. It is one of those puzzles that turn up now and then that make your brain pop. Fantastically simple but frustratingly tough. Finishing this on your own would be nearly impossible. Fortunately the creator of this puzzle added the ability to merge puzzles with your friends, genius!

I highly suggest that you give it a go first on your own and see how far you get. I was completely stumped on some of the stuff and others quickly sliced through them.

Have a go at the Funny Farm puzzle.

For those of you that enjoy spoilers, here is the completed puzzle:

So I have got access to the new look Gmail. I have to say that I am impressed, it is an obvious improvement in the overall look and feel of using Gmail.

This is the new minimalistic theme, Wonderful! Good job Google.
