Google Docs

Posted by greg on Jan 27, 2009 in Internet, Organization, Productivity

picture-21I think Google is a great company. I mean really. Where would be today with out Google. Left at Yahoo or AltaVista for that sake.

I’ve been using Google’s Docs, and I’m loving it. For my work, I have to share a lot of Spreadsheets, Word Docs and sometimes Powerpoint Presentations. Versioning becomes an issue. Google Docs is great because it allows you to either upload an existing document or create a new one online and share it out other people that have a Google Doc account. You both can be logged in to your account and access the same doc from separate computers and literally see the changes being made live online.  Its sick. More recently, I tried hitting Google Docs from my iPhone and Google has a special site created just for mobile devices. I love it. I know Apple is attempting to compete with this product with their iWork solution, and I tested that too, but to be honest, its not at the same level of service Google offers. For one, its very iWork centric (Pages, Numbers, Keynote). Looks like they are going to $$ for it also. Google is free. There are limitations to Google, for instance they can only accept Word, Excell, Powerpoint, StarOffice, and a few other types of Docs. And two, there is a limitation on the size of document than can be uploaded. If they had a service that will allow me to buy more storage for my ‘documents’. I will gladly pay.

Great Service. You should try it out.

Fix Office 2008 Registration Problems on the Mac

Posted by greg on Jan 27, 2009 in Microsoft

office2004logoIf you run into problems with registering MS Project 2008, or for some strange reason it puts you into a product registration loop and you can not actually launch the application, this tip might help you. You will need your serial number ready. First, quit all Microsoft Applications. Then, look for the following file: Applications –> Microsoft Office 2008 –> Office –> OfficePID.plist and throw it in the trash. Next Open: Your Home Folder –> Library –> Preferences –> Microsoft and look for the Office 2008 folder. Throw the Office 2008 folder in the trash. Restart Office and you will be prompted to re-enter your registration information. Your all set.

 apple-iphone-hereHere is a list of the Secret Numbers you can use on your iPhone. 

*3001#12345#*and then tap Call. This enters you into field mode. Field mode reveals many of the inner settings of your iPhone, specifically up-to-date network and cell information.

*#06# Displays your IMEI. No need to tap Call. IMEI is the unique identifier for your cell phone hardware. Together with your SIM information it identifies you to the provider network.

*777# and tap Call. Account balance for prepaid iPhone.

*225# and tap Call. Bill Balance. (Postpaid only)

*646# and tap Call. Check minutes. (Postpaid only)

*#21# and tap Call. Discover the settings for your call forwarding. You’ll see whether you have voice, data, fax, sms, sync, async, packet access, and pad access call forwarding enabled or disabled.

*#30# and tap Call. This displays whether you have enabled or disabled the presentation of the calling line, presumably the number of the party placing the call.

*#76# and tap Call. Check whether the connected line presentation is enabled or not. State whether the connected line presentation is enabled or disabled. Presumably similar to the calling line presentation.

*#43# and tap Call. Determine if call waiting is enabled. Displays call waiting status for voice, data, fax, sms, sync data, async data, packet access and pad access. Each item is either enabled or disabled.

*#61# and tap Call. Check the number for unanswered calls. Show the number for voice call forwarding when a call is unanswered. Also show the options for data, fax, sms, sync, async, packet access and pad access.

*#62# and tap Call. Check the number for call forwarding if no service is available. Just like the previous, except for no-service rather than no-answer situations.

*#67# and tap Call. Check the number for call forwarding when the iPhone is busy.

img_0099Hit by a 87 Year old lady at the Park Meadows mall. This was a lot of fun. She was pulling out of the garage and ran into me. No one was hurt. And I just washed my car. Ugh.
