Attitude Matters

An old man lived alone in Minnesota. He wanted to spade his potato

garden, but it was very hard work. His only son, who would have helped him,
was in prison. The old man wrote a letter to his son and mentioned his
situation:




Dear Son,

I am feeling pretty bad because it looks like I won't be able to plant my
potato garden this year. I hate to miss doing the garden because your
mother always loved planting time. I'm just getting too old to be digging
up a garden plot. If you were here, all my troubles would be over.
I know you would dig the plot for me, if you weren't in prison.

Love,
Dad




Shortly, the old man received this telegram: "For Heaven's sake, Dad, don't
dig up the garden!! That's where I buried the GUNS!!"

At 4 a.m. the next morning, a dozen FBI agents and local police officers
showed up and dug up the entire garden without finding any guns.

Confused, the old man wrote another note to his son telling him what
happened, and asked him what to do next.

His son's reply was: " Go ahead and
plant your potatoes, Dad. It's the best I could do for you from here."

2: I'm not really out of the office. I'm just ignoring you.

3: You are receiving this automatic notification because I am out of the office. If I was in, chances are you wouldn't have received anything at all.

Multiple Yahoo Address for the Same account

Yahoo mail beta and the original Yahoo mail is now available with professional looking 'dot' addresses. Each existing Yahoo address can have another address as an alternate e-mail ID, which shall share the same Inbox as the primary ID. This is best, since we can now have a professional 'firstname.lastname@yahoo.com' address without having to worry about maintaining another mail account all-together. Mails sent to or from either mail ID shall come to the same inbox and you can use either ID as the sender ID.
Get your new alternate email ID at :
Just Click on this link

You can create an account with dot with same password. This ID will have mails going into the inbox of existing account. You can login or send or receive mails on either ID. You can also create another dot ID by creating totally new account from signing from mail.yahoo.com.
Log in anywhere on the Yahoo! network (Mail, Photos, Messenger with BT Communicator — the list goes on and on…)

NotePad Tips and Tricks

If you press F5 in notepad, it will insert current date and time in the file. I think most of us know about this notepad trick. It is also mentioned in the Edit menu of the notepad. I am going to talk about a trick, which is related to this,
Sometimes we want to insert current data and time, whenever we open the file in the notepad. If you are a lazy person like me, who don't like to press F5 whenever you open a notepad. Then here is a trick to avoid this. Just add a .LOG  in the first line of your text file and close it.
Whenever you open the file with that text in the first line in the notepad, it will insert the current date and time at the end of the file. You can start entering your text after that.
