What are you working on?

[HawkinsPC]

Replacing DC jack. Last tech had a thing for hot glue and scotch tape. What a mess.

 

[PBComputer]

At the moment,

Building and setting up a new pc
Replacing a laptop screen
Transferring Data back to a PC after recovery
Sorting two refurbished Systems
Quoting for 2 more refrubs
I’m sure there is more I just can’t work out a direction to go first.

Right now I'm...

• doing a standard tune-up on a laptop
• stripping usable parts from a discarded desktop
• testing out a new to do list/project organizer system
• drinking a coffee for the first time in a few weeks
• fielding vague complaints from my stomach regarding the preceding item.

Excellent. I think I'm going to chow on some egg rolls before the pick-ups arrive.

Just finished swapping out a PSU and cleaning up a laptop after the customer had a scammer run-in.

Text messaging a lady friend about going to a comedy club tomorrow night.
Yeah, not tech related, but still.... that's what I was doing when I opened this thread.

I said "lady friend", I am, after all, a gentlemen.


Plus, she's a client of mine. So I guess you could say "I'm working on a client".

At work today:

Customer Machines to work on:

Things I did cause I had nothing to do:
Vacuumed
Rearranged out computer display and a couple wall shelves
Picked up old products sitting on the floor along the wall

At home:
Meh

1. Acer laptop waiting for two new USB sockets which had to be ordered from the US.
2. Two separate laptops with bad hard drives to be replaced.
3. Desktop with missing Windows Live Mail folders and messages.
4. Desktop in for malware cleanup.
5. Desktop in for bluescreening problems.
6. Laptop in for cutting off problems. That one's a bit of a mystery as it's not overheating or cutting off here since it came in.

Working on a project for a customer that I think is becoming the norm for a lot of them.
She wants to collect all her email, calendar and contacts from both of her jobs and personal life all into one place.
For example: She has MS Outlook at work on an Exchange server, she has Google Apps on her other job and of
course her personal life resides on Yahoo.
She wants a way to use one program that will be the client for all three simultaneously. Interesting challenge I thought.
Found this program called eM Client that I've just begun been testing. Looks promising, I just have to play with it some more.
Anyone ever play with this or ran into such a situation that you had a better solution for?

Hmmm. Why not Outlook?

 

[GEGeek]

Can I download the respective calendars from each service all into Outlook? I know from personal experience I can look at other calendars of people within the organization, but not outside. Have you done this? Very interested please.

[GEGeek]

I looked under the Outlook account setting settings and it does say I can import Internet Calendars. I think I remember this from a while back. I guess I will have to look deeper into this option as well. Outlook is more expensive, but whatever works I guess. Thank you for the suggestion.
