When you are working on project that involves multiple regions, you will run into situation that you want to be define what is  your working days for every single one team member that are coming from various countries. The reason of doing that is each country would have different public holidays and working hours. If you do not cater for this, your project schedule would be inaccurate by missing out the public holidays of each team member from various countries when you estimate your completion date of each task. Of course, you can manually adjust every single team member of the task end date to factor in holidays or theirs. But it is not neat for one, then if you want to make adjustment to your task, your entire schedule would be off. You should only focus on estimating the effort required. The annual leave, public holidays and etc should not be part of your task completion date that you manually adjust yourself. Let the system do the work for you instead. So, Ms Project allows

The Samsung Galaxy S series will be getting firmware update push from Samsung very often. Probably one in few months or more. However, there are always skepticism whether should I upgrade the firmware since the phone is working fine. One fine day, I pressed the Update firmware that has been appearing in the notification panel for very long time. The update progresses well with no major hiccup.

Also, let it run itself by not doing anything with the phone, the phone is doing something in the background even though it is not telli

I encountered an annoying issue on Samsung Galaxy S series hand phone that the screen wakes up by itself on and off for no good reason.  It drains up my battery really fast. This sort of problem you may engage a hand phone shop to help but not all technical personnel will have time to trial and error to troubleshoot for you. They might suggest something drastic like upgrade your firmware or changing your phone battery and etc. Here are ways for me to resolve it in chronological order. It is not hard really if you have a little time to spare and do some research yourself. I compiled all these together for your easy reference. 1. Check in battery usage in Settings / Smart Manager to see which application use up the most without me notice. (It is best to start here. Make sure the the "stay await" time is not long for any app. If it is, then you might want to uninstall that application. If the stay await comes from Android System, Android OS or Screen. Any system app,

I get version mismatched error with my Pidgin lately. I tried GTK+ update, Pidgin update, Proxy setting changing and tweaking the setting. Nothing works. Finally, I ran into this article http://crashcarr.com/110/getting-pidgin-configured-to-connect-to-sametime#comment-22231 The key things to make it to work is to add these 2 lines into Pidgin setting. (Prior before this, you should add Sametime account to your Pidgin first, set your Server address and you login and password etc. Then only, the basic settings and Settings tag will be available in your account.xml)   These 2 settings are not available in UI of the Pidgin account configuration.Only one of it is available, the fake_client_id. Also, since it is a XML, make sure all the character used in XML tag are valid ASCII character like your single quote ' and bracket are ASCII. The setting file can be found here - C:\Users\[username]\AppData\Roaming\.purple\accounts.xml Close the Pidgin program, edit the fil

However, such functions are not straightforward when I am in Lotus iNotes, a completely web based client application. Writing Email Common Functions 1. Checking for user id (Windows Logon ID) for the email address. There is no check for user detail in web based version. In the PC client version, you can do this by right clicking on the email address in the "To" textbox. However, there is another solution in web based verion.
