Alto is coming!

Alto, provided by AOL comes online. This is a new webmail client. The users can receive, read and filter mails from their multiple email accounts at AOL (of course), Gmail, Yahoo and more.

To the part of filtering. So called "stack", looks alike a Gmail-tab
- can be created, edited or removed by user themselves, to get the overview of their inbox.
- can also be connected with the content of receiving emails, like photos or another attachment.


just tested, I could even check my google calander and get into my google drive. Interesting!
And I am interested in seeing what will happen with Alto and what will the other providers do...

Spam Sucks

I found such an Email in my Gmail spam







Trust me, I never signed up...
I was just about wondering, since when Government starts spamming?
And I was shocked by my found



"Hello CheetahMail, hello former colleague in NK!"

I can't understand why the UK Government allows his Mailings to be sent from US.
But I can totally understand, why an (ex-) colleague got so angry once he received (spam-) emails from clients at his personal email address.
I am not angry, but I know pretty much: Spam Sucks!

Excel survive

sit at my office desk, worked 3 hours for an excel file and i forgot to save it, before i closed it... Stupid stupid!

But i found a way to survive. Allow me to share it with you :)

1. open a (new) excel file and click "file"











2. try to find this file under Recently Used Documents




3. if it's not there, calm down, everything's fine.
Click the "Option" button.



4. here you can see the excel options, click "save"




5. you will find the link leads to the folder, in which your file has been saved automatically.







Although not 100% as the same as the latest status I worked out
better than spending 3 more hours on it again
