Outlook Rule : Only at Specific Times

Lets say you want to have a rule in outlook send to you only between specific times in the day.

  • Only after 6pm and before 8am
  • Only on your lunch hour
  • When you are not at work

I will explain this by having emails forward to my cell phone, only when I am normally not at the office. (From 6pm-8am) This way, I will be able to receive important emails that may require special outside assistance.

What I do is:

  • Create a special category called FWD
  • Use other rules to set messages into the FWD category if I want them forwarded. (Explained Below)
  • Then, create a rule to run last in the rules list called FWD Rule
  • *Important Part* This will check the time on the messages, if it’s within the specified hours, it will forward the email (Explained Below)

Creating a Rule to set the FWD Category:
Your Rule Description should look something like this. The important part is that it is assigning it to the FWD Category:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
with 'Emergency from client' in the subject
    and marked as 'high importance'
    and assigned to 'FWD' Category

The Rule that will email header* for UTC times. Make sure it’s assigned to the FWD category. And then FWD it:

Apply this rule after the message arrives
with '2011 23:' or '2011 02:' or ... '2011 10:' in the message header
    and assigned to 'FWD' category
forward it to '[email protected]'

* This should work on most emails, but if you want to look at the email header Right-click on the message in the Inbox and select Message Options.
* I included the 2011 and the colon to make it more specific.

UTC Time for 6pm – 8am:
Email Header contained:
X-OriginalArrivalTime: 18 Feb 2011 03:23:52.0368 (UTC)
So I searched for:

2011 23:,2011 01:,2011 02:,2011 03:,2011 04:,2011 05:,2011 06:,2011 07:,2011 08:,2011 09:,2011 10:,2011 11:

jQuery – Ajax – Extra Parameters – GET, success

Here is the standard jQuery Ajax call with success handler as well as the ability to pass another parameter to an external function:

	$.ajax({
			type: "GET",
			url: Humancurl,
			dataType: "xml",
			success: function(data){
				NameOfFunctionToParseReturnedData(data,ExtraParameter);
			}
		});

Here is the standard jquery ajax call with success handler:

$.ajax({
  url: 'ajax/test.html',
  success: function(data) {
    $('.result').html(data);
    alert('Load was performed.'+data);
  }
});

Ubuntu Samba – Read-Write-FSTAB-Cifs-Mount


This is my current setup for my two Ubuntu 10.10 (Maverick Meerkat) boxes. One shares a read/write folder to the other. This is my setup. I think the key to this is having the same username on both computers having access to the files.

You might have to run this on the the folder:
sudo chmod -R 777 /path/to/files
sudo chown -R usernameonbothcomputers:usernameonbothcomputers /path/to/files

I installed samba by doing: sudo apt-get install samba

/etc/samba/smb.conf : (on the computer serving the files)

[global]
	workgroup = WORKGROUP
	server string = %h server (Samba, Ubuntu)
	dns proxy = no
 
	interfaces = 127.0.0.0/8 eth0
	bind interfaces only = yes
 
	log file = /var/log/samba/log.%m
	max log size = 1000
	syslog = 0
 
	panic action = /usr/share/samba/panic-action %d
	encrypt passwords = true
	passdb backend = tdbsam
	obey pam restrictions = yes
	unix password sync = yes
	passwd program = /usr/bin/passwd %u
	passwd chat = *Enter\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *Retype\snew\s*\spassword:* %n\n *password\supdated\ssuccessfully* .
	pam password change = yes
 
	guest account = nobody
	invalid users = root
	usershare allow guests = yes
 
[MyFiles]
	path = /path/to/share
	writable = yes
	read only = no
	valid users = usernameonbothcomputers

sudo /etc/init.d/smbd reload

/etc/fstab : (on the computer accessing the files)

//SAMBASHAREsSERVERNAME/MyFiles /path/to/mount cifs users,,noatime,username=usernameonbothcomputers,password=theuserspassword 0 0

You should be able to run this to mount all things in your fstab:
sudo mount -a

.Net – Sending Email with In Memory Attachment

This VB.Net code takes the FileUpload control’s PostedFile and without saving it to the filesystem attaches it to an MailMessage and sends an email.

Advantages:

  • No threading, read/write permissions needed.
  • One line of code.

Front End:

<asp:FileUpload ID="fileUpload" runat="server" />

Code:

Dim m As New MailMessage()
m.Attachments.Add(New Attachment(fileUpload.PostedFile.InputStream, fileUpload.FileName))

Pitchfork 'Best New Albums' Torrent Search

Pitchfork_Best_new_Music_BTJunkie_Search

Ok so this might be slightly illegal, but I am really just generating some links.

I wrote some code that will take the RSS feed from this page: http://pitchfork.com/reviews/best/albums/ and searches BTJunkie for torrents.

Here it is in action:

PHP Base64_Encode – Intentionally screwing up pictures

A screwed up base64 image. Replaced all of the 'da' with 'ha'
A screwed up base64 image. Replaced all of the 'da' with 'ha'

So, I was a little bored so I made some PHP code.

This is what it does:

  • Takes query string values
  • Pulls an image from the web
  • base64_encodes it.
  • Distorts the image.
  • Replaces some of the base64 string data with other string data.
  • Outputs the image in an img tag.

Hope this helps someone, let me know if it does IN THE COMMENTS

This should be able to help someone out there in internet land.
