How to : Synch Gmail With Outlook
My father is a creature of habit. Former Blackberry
user gone HTC Evo,
and a recovering Netzero addict, now using Gmail ( although he doesnt like it because the interface is a little cluttered lol) .
And of course his love for Microsoft Outlook.He wanted to somehow synch his Outlook with his gmail account.
By default , when you purchase an Android phone , you have to create a Gmail account , which allows you to synch your contacts , your notes , calendars , etc. My dad is an old school kind of guy , and is not impressed with the Google Calendar , and wanted to stick with his Outlook. Here is a quick guide on how to make your Gmail and Outlook Calendar play nice with one another .
To set up Google Calendar Sync:
- Make sure you're using a supported operating system and Outlook version.
- Download Google Calendar Sync (version 0.9.3.6) at http://dl.google.com/googlecalendarsync/GoogleCalendarSync_Installer.exe
- Once a dialog box appears, click Save File. The downloaded file should open automatically. If it doesn't, manually open it from your browser's download window.
- Click OK to confirm that you're aware this is an executable file.
- Read through the Google Calendar Sync Terms of Service, and click I Agree.
- Follow through the Installation Options and click Install to finish the set-up process.
Once Google Calendar Sync is installed on your computer, the Google Calendar Sync Settings window will appear:
In the Settings window, enter your email address and password and select the Sync Option you prefer. Read about each Sync Option.
You'll also be able to set the time interval for syncing to occur. Please keep in mind that 10 minutes is the minimum time interval allowed.
After the initial set-up, you can access the Google Calendar Sync Settings window again by double-clicking the calendar icon in your Windows System Tray.
Icon Status
To access the Google Calendar Sync Settings window, just right-click the calendar icon in your Windows System Tray and select Options.
When your events are actively syncing between Google Calendar and Microsoft Outlook Calendar, you'll see arrows in the Google Calendar Sync icon:
When events aren't actively syncing, your calendar icon will look like this:

Removing an infected DLL file can be a little tricky , especially if it attaches itself , or replaces one of the core dll files used. Removing Infected DLL is also much more difficult since most of the time this DLL’s gets loaded into system as soon as you reboot. Here are two utilities that can hep you out which suppose to help you in such situations.

Spy DLL Remover is the standalone tool to effectively detect and delete spywares from the system. It comes with advanced spyware scanner which quickly discovers hidden Rootkit processes as well suspicious/injected DLLs within all running processes. It not only performs sophisticated auto analysis on process DLLs but also displays them with various threat levels, which greatly helps in quick identification of malicious DLLs. The DLL search feature helps in finding DLL within all running processes using just partial or full name. Then user can choose to remove the dll from single process or from all loaded processes with just one click.

What is Rss ?
What is RSS?
RSS stands for Really Simple Syndication. The RSS icon on the toolbar at the bottom of this page is the site feed for this website ChristianMartell.com
Sometimes websites tend ot have their Rss feeds in different places . If you come to a website , and would like to subscribe to the feed, the easiest thing to do would be ( the screenshot below was taken using the Firefox Browser ) is to look the address bar in your browser.
If the site has a feed you will see the following : ( note the red circle )
There’s a lot of techno babble about Rss that I could write about , but I won't. All you need to know is that RSS allows you to track your favorite blogs and websites in one location – an RSS Reader.
An RSS Reader like Google Reader allows you to add various websites and blogs that offer their RSS Feed for you to track by category.
There are many RSS Readers out there to choose from. I currently use Google Reader. Here’s just a few RSS Readers which include Windows versions as well as Apple versions and online web-based:
- Google Reader – Web-Based/Free
- FeedReader – Windows/Free
- BlogBridge – Windows/Free
- Omea Reader – Windows/Free
- Bloglines – Web-Based/Free
- FeedDemon – Windows/Free
- NewsCrawler – Windows/$24.95
- Schrook – Mac/Free
- NetNewsWire – Mac/Free
- Cyndicate – Mac/$29.95
- NewsFire – Mac/$25.00
- RSSOwl – Many Platforms including Linus/Free
There are a quite a few RSS Readers and a Google search on RSS Readers will provide you with more to choose from.
If this RSS thing doesn’t sound right for you and you want to make it even easier to receive content from your favorite blogs and websites, then subscribe by email if the website or blog offers that service. If you hang out in your email reader then that is an excellent way to keep your favorite content centralized.
You should be on your way now to being an Rss rockstar, Now , click here to subscribe to this blog 
Another Installation in Progress Windows Error Message
So I was working on a clients site and I needed to edit some pdf's. The editor I use ( Nitro PDF Proffesional ) Had an update available , so I thought I would go ahead and help myself to the free update. I downloaded the program and went to run the install.
However the installer gave me this error message "Another Installation in Progress error 1500".
I have had this headache before and I thought I would share a quick fix for it.
Right-click on the Computer icon, wherever it exists on your system, and select Manage. This opens the Computer Management utility.
Select Services, right click on Windows Installer in the list and select Properties. If you’re having the problem, the Windows Installer service is started, and the Stop button is disabled. Simply rebooting doesn’t stop the service. Here’s how you stop it.
In the Properties dialog, change Startup type to “Disabled”, click OK, and reboot your computer. This stops the service. After your computer reboots, again open Computer Management (right-click on Computer and select Manage), open Windows Installer Properties, and change the Startup type back to Manual. Now you’re good to go and can start a new installation.
Tada
