General Software Discussion / Re: Can't copy actual email addresses from Outlook.
« on: October 20, 2009, 12:52 AM »
...I'm trying to copy a bunch of email addresses to use in another program.  All the recipients are already on one of my Outlook emails.  .... there's no email address shown, only the name (since Outlook will process it later).  For the outsiders that are not in an addressbook, the full email is shown.  Now, I'm trying to copy all the email addresses to another program, so the name does me no good.  I need the actual flippin' email address.  Is there anyway to copy it easily using ctrl-c?  NO!!  I hate this shitty program.

I had the exact same problem, being a tinkerer i wrote a simple macro/vb to get that functionality. see below
/EDIT: I realized i've done this only for a distribution list.... i.e. when i wanted to export the distribution list to another program....etc. It could be modified with some research to work with the active email.

Code: Visual Basic [Select]
  1. Sub CopyCSVEmail()
  2. 'This puts a comma seperated email list for a distribution list on the clipboard
  3. Dim myDistList As DistListItem
  4. Dim j As Integer
  5. Dim iOutFormat As Integer
  6. Dim iPos As Integer
  7. Dim sOutput As String
  8.     'Check type of object in current view
  9.    If TypeName(Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem) <> "DistListItem" Then Exit Sub
  10.     'Assign it to a typed variable
  11.    Set myDistList = Application.ActiveInspector.CurrentItem
  12.     iOutFormat = 1
  13.     sOutput = InputBox("Please Choose a MODE: " & vbCrLf _
  14.     & "1 = Address,.." & vbCrLf _
  15.     & "2 = Name (Address),.." & vbCrLf _
  16.     & "3 = Name <Address>,..", "Mode", "1")
  17.     On Error Resume Next
  18.     iOutFormat = CInt(sOutput)
  19.     On Error GoTo 0
  20. '    If (MsgBox("Do you want the addersses with names?", vbQuestion + vbYesNo, "With names?") = vbYes) Then
  21. '        iOutFormat = 2
  22. '    End If
  23.    'do what you want
  24.    sOutput = ""
  25.     For j = 1 To myDistList.MemberCount
  26.         If iOutFormat = 1 Then
  27.             sOutput = sOutput & myDistList.GetMember(j).Address & ", "
  28.         ElseIf iOutFormat = 2 Then
  29.             sOutput = sOutput & myDistList.GetMember(j).Name & ", " '" <" & myDistList.GetMember(j).Address & ">, "
  30.        ElseIf iOutFormat = 3 Then
  31.             iPos = InStr(1, myDistList.GetMember(j).Name, "(") - 1
  32.             If iPos < 0 Then iPos = Len(myDistList.GetMember(j).Name)
  33.             sOutput = sOutput & Trim(Left(myDistList.GetMember(j).Name, iPos)) & " <" & myDistList.GetMember(j).Address & ">, "
  34.         Else
  35.             sOutput = "Error: Incorrect Mode specified"
  36.         End If
  37.     Next j
  38.     sOutput = Left(sOutput, Len(sOutput) - 2) 'Trim last two characters
  39.    'MsgBox sOutput
  40.    InputBox "Copy (Press Ctrl+C) the following line to wherever you want.", "Email Address(es)", sOutput
  41.     'PutOnClipboard (sOutput)
  42.    'reset vars
  43.    Set myDistList = Nothing
  44. End Sub

Google how to add macros in outlook to see where you can paste this.

General Software Discussion / Re: Organize desktop icons and more...
« on: September 14, 2009, 03:27 AM »
is it just me or does the latest fences app not allow you to drag icons into fences anymore? People have been complaining about it and it is disappointing.

But I must say fences is the app I have been thinking of all these years. The only thing missing now is auto-sorting and tagging by default (i.e. i don't want to bloody configure all the rules! Maybe some people do, but generally intelligent defaults is the way to go.)

did you see the youtube video about it? it's awesome. Posting some of those links here would drive more interest. I looked through their site but had a hard time understanding most of it and since I haven done that kind of programming in a while I gave up on it. I think for those starting from scratch the time commitment would be huge.

General Software Discussion / Re: Timeline Software

ampa, once you've chosen something let me know. I have been on a quest to do this as well, but never been satisfied. I used dandelife.com once but meh. It's a matter of laziness.

The objective i had with such a project was to give a summary of ones life and emotional state to a new person, to clarify the formation of core beliefs and behaviors.
Anyway so far I've just used paper and pencil for it. :P

What would also work would be to go through your memories and add photos/blog post/comment in a blog software and then use one of those MIT's exhibit/timeline tools to create a summary from those. This would require some programming and such, but it would work.

Regardless let me know when you have chose something. I don't know why but a particular class of users are interested in this application and there haven't been many providers.

Living Room / Re: Betamax (a VoIP company) — a large-scale fraud?
« on: August 06, 2009, 01:17 AM »
I have used VoipCheap FreeCall, VoipDiscount all from these betamaxx dudes.
I (and several friends) lost accounts on VoipCheap & VoipDiscount. Lost credits ranging from $10 - $50 per account. Further cannot create new accounts with those either! For some unknown reason. Same error code i  think 33.

Anway but we've been using FreeCall for a while, with auto-top up and no problems so far. We are using an VOIP Gateway device (Grandstream something) to integrate it with our PABX and use the phone to direct dial. Works great :)

I am keeping my fingers crossed to hope that it keeps working. I have never been able to contact customer support either. I've always suspected it's a scam as well, considering they have so many clones... and why? What's the need for all these clones? see
