How To keep your MS Outlook Exchange 2010 Mail Box clutter-free during vacation?
Most of us use Outlook at work for exchanging mail. Outlook is only a client side application which connects to Outlook Exchange server and downloads emails from the server. Any mail sent from Outlook will be sent to the email server and the server takes care of delivering the same.
It is quite common in projects we work on to set alert mails, which will keep sending hundreds of mails in a day. If Outlook on the desktop is open, we will have all rules set up and all alert mails will be moved to personal folders as soon as they are received.
How to Activate or Deactivate Partial DND?
My yesterday’s blog post on what is National Do Not Disturb and how to register/deregister received a good response and I decided to do a follow up post of Partial-DND.

How to add Google +1 share button to your website or blog – Buddy Tuts
It’s been only a few hours since Google released its relatively new feature +1 (plus one) for the entire web. Where most people are calling it an answer to the Facebook LIKE button but whether Google will be able to beat Facebook in this war is a question we will leave it for the future.
As of now what matters most is how you can add a Google +1 button to your blog/website. And its pretty simple actually, you just need 2 lines of code. Yes, it does require you to dig into your website code and make some changes but its quite a straight forward job.
First paste the below code right before your closing body tag which looks like </body>
<!– Place this tag in your head or just before your close body tag –>
<script type=”text/javascript” src=”http://apis.google.com/js/plusone.js”></script>
After this is done all you have to do is paste the below code wherever you would like the +1 button to be displayed.
<!– Place this tag where you want the +1 button to render –>
<g:plusone size=”small”></g:plusone>
That’s it. You are done. Now this will help you generate a lot of new traffic and help promoting your website better. Though the best way is still the hard way but this will surely add a little to your daily traffic quota.
There are 4 different sizes of buttons that you can use. You can create the same by clicking on this link. Google has already integrated +1 in its host of servcies like YouTube, Reader, Search, Profile, etc. Sites like Mashable, RottenTomatoes, Bloomberg have already integrated the button as well.

Type Rupee Symbol with your Keyboard – Buddy Tuts
On 16th July’2010, Indian Rupee joined the elite group of currencies which have their own symbol. This symbol has been designed by Bombay IIT Post-Graduate B. Udaya Kumar. Though the symbol has already had many explanations, everyone has accepted it with open arms.
Now that the symbol is out and you can start using it, the trouble comes as to how you can type it? Where all other currencies have this fixed, it will take a while for the Indian Currency to come with a dedicated key with the symbol on keyboards. But does not mean you cannot use it.
Steps to install Rupee Font
A new font designed by Foradian Technologies has been released which can be used to get this font. The steps to install the font are:
- Download the Rupee font.
- Copy the .ttf file to your fonts folder under control panel.
- Go to a text editor like MS Word.
- Select the Rupee font from your fonts list.
- The ‘~’ key next to numerical ’1′ key is the one that will help you achieve the symbol.
That’s all it takes. Use the symbol where-ever you want, its just a key away.
