Search function in GMail

We all know the search bar in our Gmail accounts that lets us keep track of the e-mails we sent and received over time. Also we all know the advanced menu that helps us find that important e-mail you’re looking for 30 minutes. If you combine the two mentioned above you get the following:

Here are some standard tags to find e-mails, their function can be easily deduced:
- from:
- to:
- subject:
- label:

All you have to do is type it in the search box like so:
from:co_worker@domain.com
or maybe
to:beloved_wife@gmail.com

Another interesting search criteria is ‘filename:’ after it you can add the name of a file attached to a e-mail and better yet you can put there only the extension and it will find all the files with the given extension.

A interesting combination is “in:” and “is:”. It tells Google where to look ( inbox, spam, anywhere but it does not work with the ’sent’ folder) and is: has several values (starred, unread, read). You can use them separately or you can come up with expressions like:
in:inbox is:unread

There are also several searches I think you will find easy to understand:
before:date (yyyy/mm/dd)
after:date
cc:
bcc:

Now that you know this basic syntax you can evolve using combined searches like:
to:etherfast subject:(hardware OR playstation)
from:etherfast before:2006/01/23 subject:games “WoW” price

There you have it, the possibilities are practically infinite, that’s what I like about Google, it just provides the tools for you to enjoy.

鱈魚的故事

魚夫有日經過個湖
唔小心跌咗條鱈魚落水
魚夫好傷心啦

跟住湖神出現
問佢: 你頭先跌落水嘅係金鱈魚、銀鱈魚定係普通鱈魚呀?

魚夫一時貪心
答: 金雪魚!!!

湖神心諗
吖你個x樣咁貪心吖嗱
俾條普通鱈魚你拎返屋企先

結果漁夫冇事
反而湖神當晚就痾到九彩

Ps. 噢, 原來個漁夫姓李的

PS2換PS3


由於北美地區的PS3滯銷,一直以「高級餐廳」高姿態掛帥的SONY,終於降格為快餐店豐富晚餐的級數,開始PS3的促銷活動,推出以PS2換PS3的機換機計劃,企圖「自己打自己」,攻佔PS2市場。

SONY表示,機換機計劃即將於全美國數千家遊戲連鎖店舉行,玩家可以用舊的PS2當成$100美元,加錢換購PS3的60GB和20GB版本,而 且只能機換機,在PS3缺貨的店舖是不能當成訂金的。另外,所謂的舊PS2,雖不限型號,但必須能正常運作,還要連帶一個原裝手掣和AV線等,而活動結束 日期亦只到2月18日為止。

PS3的60GB版本原價$599美元,20GB本版則為例499美元,而一台舊PS2已佔$100美元,佔PS3售價的五分之一到六分之一左右。如果能機換機,PS3亦算抵玩,說不定活動開始時會造成一陣短暫的換機熱。

Aroma: Coffee Pot Alarm Clock


There is nothing like sleeping in a little on the weekend, and waking up to the smell of bubbling hot coffee...fragrance.

The tough part is when stretch, realize that your "girlfriend" didn't make you breakfast, and discover that she stole your wallet on the way out.

We have no idea how it actually smelled because the unit was out of fluid. But the top was kind of sticky and nasty.

《MONSTER HUNTER》


作為PSP及PS2的大作之一,由CAPCOM開發的《MONSTER HUNTER》已經開始了封測人員招募,由1月12日開始至25日,招募人數為5000名,不過僅限日本地區申請,正式遊戲測試時間則為2月1日至2月 15日。據目前遊戲公司所公開的消息,PC版的內容將承襲PS2上的《MONSTER HUNTER 2》再增加新要素的強化版本,以LOBBY型式展開遊戲,玩家可以透過收集魔物所掉落的素材,來製造或強化各式的武器道具,同時需要不斷狩獵強大的魔物及 進行冒險,玩法上有點像之前推出的日本遊戲《夢幻之星ONLINE(PSO)》。

R2D2 DVD Projector

R2D2 DVD Projector

Possibly the least-justifiable purchase ever conceived , this $2000 heap of conspicuous consumption is based on a throwaway sight gag in the original Star Wars, in which the little 'droid projects a holographic image of Princess Leia's desperate plea for help. Only your version of it won't be projecting a youthful Carrie Fisher's attempt to rally a Jedi to fight the good fight—rather, it will be projecting your 26th viewing of the Lord of the Rings Special Edition DVD Extras onto your bedroom wall (as your life slowly ebbs away).

Ambient Umbrella

This magical device will keep you dry in even the most frightful of downpours! Along with other recent advances, such as the automotocar and vulcanized rubber, it almost guarantees victory in the war against the Kaiser. Also, the handle contains an advanced chip technology that pings accuweather.com and blinks if it's going to rain.

施永青: 我為何「淪落」做地產代理

26/10/06

中原地產有高層因涉及廉署調查而辭職,有記者問我,是否也會辭職?聽到這樣的問題,心裡當然不舒服,但想到今次調查的對象的確很多都是我的直系下屬,我真是難辭其咎,記者有這樣的問題是很自然的事,怪不得記者。

但我當時心裡確酸了一酸,臉上雖然還保持笑容,內心卻眼淚也流了出來。我有得選擇嗎?人生在世怎可能不受時空的限制?我最多只能趁命運之神打瞌睡的時候踢祂一腳,但我一樣逃不出祂的五指山。

想當年我初入行的時候,亦因給人恥笑而考慮過轉行。記得有一次在路上碰見一個朋友,他問我近況如何,我告訴他我剛與朋友一起創辦了一間地產代理公司,誰知他竟驚訝地說:「嘩!地產經紀你也做?這行跟扯皮條差不多的喎!」我心中真不是滋味。

我 之前曾在發展商處打了兩年工,因感到在大機構裡找不到自主的空間,又覺得報酬與貢獻不相稱,於是決定與朋友一起搞間地產代理公司博一博。我們手上只有幾萬 塊錢,難道可以學舊老細那樣去做發展商?我可以做的,是把從發展商那裡學來的地產知識與市場脈絡,去搞一間小型地產代理公司。

我沒有機會讀 大學,也沒有其他專業資格,在商界只對地產行業比較熟;剛把所有的積蓄答應與朋友一起創業,我還可以有其他選擇嗎?所以,明知自己的性格不適合做地產代 理,仍只好逼上梁山。我想,既然無可選擇,怨天怨地也沒有意思,只會令自己的情緒更加低落,不如接受現實,在實際的處境裡尋空間。行行出狀元,我如果能在 這一行做出成績,或許可以逐漸令朋友改變睇法。

我想,要改善別人的睇法,先要改變自己的睇法,如果自己也覺得自己的行業是低檔的,沒有前景 的,怎可能做出成績,怎可能贏得別人的尊重。我必須先了解這個行業在社會裡所扮演的角色,盡量發揮它的功能,從本質上去發掘自己行業存在的價值。我很快發 覺,表面上這個行業好像唯利是圖,但正因為這行的人重利,才肯硬著頭皮四處為買家搜羅「筍盤」,為賣家刮客;掌握了足夠的買賣方的資訊後,才可以有效地進 行配對。有時配準了,也不一定可以立即成交,因為雙方願意付出的代價可能離天萬丈,談判過程真是波折重重,沒有足夠的EQ與韌力,休想促成交易。

這類工作並非一般人可以勝任,沒有地產代理,市場的效率必然下降,社會資源要落入最需要的人裡就有困難,地產代理在社會上有其不可或缺的功能。了解到這一點後,我才安心在這個行業幹下去。

2007 Top 10 weirdest USB drives!

10. The USB Puppet Bags

The USB Puppet Bags

Ok, I admit - this isn’t a complete USB drive - it’s only a masquerade costume for your boring typical, standard USB drive. Quite weird design, ey?

9. The Altoids USB mod

8. The USB mince pie

The USB mince pie

Check out this incredible detailed and accurate mince pie reproduction. I wonder why they placed that little LED on top, as I think it would be even cooler without it.

7. Wooden memory sticks

Wooden memory sticks

I really like these wooden USB drives from the dutch company oooms. They are quite expensive (about $90 for the 1GB version) but they are all made out of real wooden pieces by hand.

6. The Holy bible drive

The Holy bible drive

This USB drive comes with the bible on it. The connector is hidden inside the bible so you have to use a little sliding switch before you can use it. I wonder if you’ll go to hell if you store prOn on the holy bible?

5. Crazy rabbit usb drive

This freaky little rabbit USB drive is designed by Micah Laaker, the design manager for Yahoo!’s personalization, RSS and membership teams. Cool one, right?

4. The Bowling ball USB drive

The Bowling ball USB drive

Ok, now things are really getting weird. How would you like to drag around on a full weigh (16 pounds / 7 kg) ten-pin bowling ball? This one is actually a fully functional USB drive that is capable of breaking your little laptop into pieces. It’s designed by Chris Spurgeon.

3. Chewbacca drive

The Chewbacca drive

Jeremy Harrington is the man behind this really nice Star Wars Chewbacca USB drive. It’s not a geeky little Chewiw mimobot - this is the real thing! Yeah! Hear me roar!

2. The Humping dog USB memory

The Humping dog USB memory

Yes! We’re finally getting closer to the number one position, only one mor to go. Here’s a really weird little USB drive that has one thing that is really unique - it features moving parts. As soon as you plug the humping dog into your computer it starts humping it. Check out this video clip to see it in action! Who! Who! Who let the dogs out!

1. The Teddy USB memory

The Teddy USB memory

Drumroll please! Tada, here’s the final winner. It’s a bit different than the last winner (the USB Barbie drive) but it’s still a really cool and weird USB drive. You just rip the head off and plug it in! It’s designed by Sergio de Ana and as it doesn’t look like a typical USB drive, it’s probably quite safe to store data in it as long as you keep it’s head on! I bet you have to be careful with this one to not scare the kids, hehe.

女性發脾氣 易心肌梗塞 (明報) 01月 24日 星期三 05:10AM

【明報專訊】研究發現,喜歡發脾氣的女性容易出現心肌梗塞。《女性健康期刊》發表研究,指憤怒與女性心臟健康有非常複雜的關係,特別是年老、患糖尿病或膽固醇過高的女性,但抑壓憤怒與冠心病無關。

領導這項研究的美國馬里蘭軍事醫療大學教授克蘭茨表示,憤怒可能是最有害的敵意情緒,雖然現時仍未能確定憤怒會引致心臟病,但研究發現,經常懷有極 其憤怒情緒的女性,無論發泄與否,都較易出現嚴重的心臟病徵。研究顯示,因沮喪而感到胸痛或出現其他徵狀的女性,通常都沒有即時求診。
