Using free yahoo mail in outlook express or other email software

In one of my previous post, I had explained on how to configure free Gmail with your outlook express. But I never thought that free yahoo mail can also be used with outlook express. This cool tip is explained very well by Heinz Tschabitscher, an author at about.com.

Anyway, configuring yahoo mail in outlook express, is not exactly as direct as Gmail. We need to use some tools such as IzyMail and YPOPs.

I think there is no point for me to elaborate on the step by step here, as Heinz Tschabitscher had even provided a step by step screenshot walkthrough on how to use yahoo mail in outlook express by Ypop.

I really want to shake this guy`s hand if I am ever able to see him.

Get your friends to know about this cool tip too .

Japanese language online dictionary

I studied in Japan in 1994 up to 1998. When I was there, I met lots of foreign students from all over the world. There must be lots of people who is capable to communicate in Japanese like me. But as Japanese language is not our mother tongue, we surely need to refer to a dictionary sometime. Looking up a conventional dictionary will be quite troublesome. There are lots of online dictionary nowadays, but it is too simple to be used.

I found an online Japanese dictionary, established by Jim Breen from Monash University. It is good for advance user. (People who actually knows Japanese language). It`s not like those translation tools provided by google or yahoo.

Some of the features are such as :

1. ability to find words translation from both english and Japanese


2. you can type your Japanese word in romaji


3. you can find kanji if you know it`s radical count, just like using the conventional dictionary


4. you can also see examples on how certain word is being used


5. and a lot more that I had never tried yet

This online dictionary had help me so much in my daily work. May god bless all the people involved in the development of the site.

Generating income through internet

All these while, I had been talking about softwares, gadgets and internet tips. But do you know that we can generate income by a computer connected to the internet ? No, I`m not saying about big big giant companies which are using internet as their advertisement medium, I`m talking about how ordinary people like you and me can generate income from the internet. We`ll lots of people had probably knew about this, but since I had just recently heard about it, then there are probably other people who still had never heard about it. So read on.

My first encounter on how to generate income through internet was when one day, I read an advertisement which sounded something like this - Learn how to generate income with free blogs by google adsense. Working from home and generating income through internet had been my dream from long ago, so I bought the e-book guidance, and started my adsense effort. But as I started my journey, it seems there are a lot more that I need to learn. Not only that, there are a lot more things that I need to spend, in order to make my adsense effort works !

Of course I had not give up on the adsense, but I started to search for something which is more simpler. While browsing through the internet, I stumble upon something call Pay Per Post or abbreviated as PPP. The concept is, you write a post on your blog, about something featured in the PPP, and if your blog post is accepted, you will get paid. We`ll this seems more simpler. I had been writing and reviewing products, softwares, cool websites. And if I can be paid for that, why not ? I can also use those incomes, to fund my efforts on my adsense. I can buy more guidance e-book, or I can purchase softwares that can help me to improve my SEO, such as Nichebot, wordtracker and many others.

But the key here is to be honest. Be sure to read the blog ethics. We should only make a post on a product or service which we believe in. Our posting will influence lots of people, and we surely do not want our post to mislead people right ? There will never be a way through life with dishonesty !

To my fellow bloggers friends, check this thing out. Even if you don`t make lots of money, although there are actually people who make a fortune out of it, at least may be it can cover your hosting cost.

FREE MIND - Freeware for digital mind mapping

Mind map is a tool that I use largely in my work.
It helps me to clarify my thinking and convey ideas to my colleagues.
Looking carefully, there are lots of industrial tools, which are based on mind map.
Ishikawa diagram, ask yourself 5 times why are all tools which have mind map concept in it.

I had been wondering whether there is any software that can enable mind map to be used on the computer. I finally found one. The best thing is, it is a free software.
It needs to be a free software, as I don’t think I can sell the idea of buying a software for mind mapping to my boss.
This freeware is an open source software from sourceforge.net, which is called free mind. It is a Java written software, and saying that you must have a java application installed to run it.

For me, this freeware is very helpful. I use it for brainstorming with my team, or I use it to convey my concepts to my boss. Previously, I do mind map on a white board, and editing was not very convenient. By this freeware, changing nodes had been very easy. There are also lots of icons to be used, and you can leave notes or remarks at the bottom of the page for any nodes you choose.

For those who uses mind mapping a lot, I hope that this freeware will help your works.

Oh yes, for your info, I had scanned this freeware by windows defender.
It is free from spywares. Just to be safe as, it is known that some freewares might have spywares bundled with it.

Variations Of Software Programs

I started to learn about something called open source software recently, and here is an article by : James Brown which explains on it. I found this article in Artice City.com


Consumers are enthralled by the software installed in electronic devices because these programs allow them to be more productive and provide them with a source of entertainment that is suitable for every member of the family. Some electronic devices will not work at all without the software installed, and others work better because the software programs have been added since the device was bought.

People are more familiar with the software programs that run their personal computers, but other digital devices are equipped with software. The operating system software is the controlling force behind all computer operations, This software allows the user to perform independent tasks using word processing software programs, or includes software that will allow the user to complete complex mathematical calculations using formulas in spreadsheet formats.

The operation of this type of software is independent of any other type of custom software that has been installed on the computer. Many computer users must install software that allows them to view videos and graphics. These software programs are easy to download but will require update to be installed from time to time to keep the software program running smoothly.

The software updates are written with scripting software that simplifies updates by creating screens that are presented in an easy to understand language that requires the user to click a few buttons and step back while the software does the rest of the installation on its own. Other software is embedded into the installation program that will notify the computer user that the installation is complete. In most cases, the computer software will require that the user restart the system for the changes to go into effect.

Some customized software programs will be created for businesses to track inventory or provide a certain service to a client or the public at large. Some computer operating systems work on the Windows platform and other software program are open source and can be edited by users who know the coding used in the software programs. These programs can be modified by each user and uploaded to the site where it was obtained so that other users can benefit from the changes that were made.

People prefer to use open source software because it is available for download through internet websites. The open source software is considered freeware and is the product of computer users who have a talent for creating programs that enhance productive tasks found in other software or the software could be scripts that make mundane tasks tolerable and easier to complete. Some programming artists create freeware to establish a web presence and build a business from software popularity.

The software programs installed on electronic devices allow people to connect to the internet and the user will have all the tools and storage space required to download files from a computer at work. The PDA devices contain software that will also allow users to check email and store it for future reference. Some personal digital assistants are equipped with software that allows people to access maps and obtain directions to a desired destination.
