I’ve created/hacked together this little VBA macro for Outlook to add an “Archive” button that automatically moves the e-mail to monthly archive folders. This, at least, makes it fairly easy to archive my important messages and get them into my PST file (which I need to do because space on our Exchange server is limited). Finding them later is just a “simple” matter of searching.

To install, press CTRL+F11 in Outlook to bring up VBA. Add a new module (Insert > Module) and paste in the code below.

Add a menu item to the Outlook toolbar by right-clicking and choosing “Customize”. Drag “MoveToArchive” from the “Macros” folder to the desired location in the toolbar.

This seemed like a good opportunity to learn how to add a new syntax definition to my editor of choice, Vim. I’ve posted it here as a rough starting point for someone having to do something similar.

The format is very basic. Each entity is wrapped in BEGIN and END blocks with the lines in-between being a “FIELD,value”. Comments are defined by lines that start with “#COMMENT,”.

To fix it I used AutoHotkey and the following script:

Movie aficionados who have a passion for watching films—whether Hollywood releases or independent ones—do not have to spend tons of money to watch their favourite flicks since they can watch them for free. That’s right! Sci-fi, horror, thriller, action, and drama films, among others can be watched without shelling out any amount.

Watching movies for free is very easy and hassle free, most especially with the high-speed Internet connection and state-of- the-art computer units.

How to watch free movies

The first thing that should be remembered by those who want to watch movies (including those that have been recently shown in theatres) without spending is the fact that many of them can be easily downloaded from torrent websites.

However, those who will choose the mentioned option should remember that the said websites are not regulated which means that they may download computer virus and spyware in the process.

The said problem can be counteracted with the use of sophisticated anti-virus and anti-spyware software that are able protect from various computer threats. They should be updated on a regular basis to make sure that one’s computer will be free from unwanted programs no matter what happens.

In addition to torrent websites, freebie websites are other options that can be picked by individuals who want to watch free movies. Also called incentive websites, some freebie websites may require their users to perform a straightforward task; that is to pay a couple of dollars as sign up fees. Afterwards, they can download as many movies as they want without paying extra.

Countless individuals across the globe have obtained free movies from freebie websites without any hassle. The good thing about this option is the probability of downloading computer virus and software is quite low.

Conclusion

These are the primary sources of free movies. They are ideal for those who want to watch current and old movies but have tight monthly budgets. The good thing about these options is they do not require expert skills and they can be downloaded by simply typing the title of the flick or a couple of keywords.

On the other hand, since downloading free movies have become a fad nowadays there are many torrent websites and freebie websites that are involved in deceptive activities. For this reason, it would be best to check user reviews before signing up or downloading anything. This is a simple task that comes with a myriad of benefits.

Parts (per-kid):

• 1 x LED
• 1 x 3 AA Battery holder
• 1 x 68 ohm resistor
• 1 x Piece of 1/4″ plywood (yxy) with appropriate 1/4″ holes drilled
• 3 x 1/2″ long 1/4×20 hex head bolts
• 3 x 1/4×20 nuts
• 5 x 1/4 flat washers
• 1 x 1″ section of plumbers strapping
• Glob of hotglue or double sided tape

Instructions:

I pre-soldered the resistor to the negative lead on the battery pack and covered the joint with heat shrink. This was done so that it was impossible to create a potentially dangerous dead short.

After that, the kids assembled everything themselves (with some help from the leaders).
See this PDF handout for the adult helpers.

In my CacheberryPi software my average query time for a large database went from 1.6-2 seconds down to 0.8-1 seconds with just the configuration change.

This works on Raspian derived images such as Occidentalis (which CacheberryPi .

We’ve been doing a lot of work to understand the impact of voltage and temperature on lifetime, and are now able to offer a “turbo mode”, which dynamically enables overclock and overvolt under the control of a cpufreq driver, without affecting your warranty. We are happy that the combination of only applying turbo when busy, and limiting turbo when the BCM2835?s internal temperature reaches 85°C, means there will be no measurable reduction in the lifetime of your Raspberry Pi.

 

You can now choose from one of five overclock presets in raspi-config, the highest of which runs the ARM at 1GHz. The level of stable overclock you can achieve will depend on your specific Pi and on the quality of your power supply; we suggest that Quake 3 is a good stress test for checking if a particular level is completely stable. If you choose too high an overclock, your Pi may fail to boot, in which case holding down the shift key during boot up will disable the overclock for that boot, allowing you to select a lower level.

 

What does this mean? Comparing the new image with 1GHz turbo enabled, against the previous image at 700MHz, nbench reports 52% faster on integer, 64% faster on floating point and 55% faster on memory.

• Tracklog completely rewritten.  Tracklog only taken when the GPS accuracy is good.  Tracklog format is now CSV (compatible with GPSbabel) and much smaller than the raw NMEA.  Tracklog files are automatically moved to USB stick during sync.
• New search algorithm searches rectangle in front of you instead of pie shaped slice.  This makes behaviour nicer when nearest cache is a long ways away.  You don’t end up with it picking up caches 2km off the road and then having them disappear when you get closer.
• Automatic updates.  The CBP software will automatically update itself from the GIT repository if the CBP is booted with Ethernet connectivity.
• A bunch of bug fixes

Downloads:

cacheberrypi.img.20120921.bz2 (1GB) – Requires a 4GB SD card.  Write this image out to your SD card using dd or Win32ImageWriter, wire up the above, attach your USB GPS, and reboot. Note: Make sure to boot it up the first time with network connectivity so that the software auto-updates. There are a few bugs in the version in the image.
