Automatically delete emails in the trash (or any) folder - Outlook 2003

Filed under: Random Act, Technology — Victor @ 7:50 am

I was searching google for a way to automatically delete email from folders in Outlook 2003, but could not find it anywhere, so for the benefit of the greater good, I’ll publish the “how to.” It’s actually quite easy…

In outlook, right click on the folder you want to auto delete emails and select Properties.
Click Folder Properties

Click the AutoArchive tab, and select the “Archive this folder using these settings:,” select how frequently you want to auto delete the contents of the folder. Next, select the “Permanently delete old items” radio button. Click Apply and Ok out.
Auto Archive This Folder

That’s it! I told you it’s easy.

I use these settings on “Deleted Items” and “Sent Items”. One of my professors in College told me to delete old messages regularly, that way you can’t be blamed for purposly deleting email to cover yourself, etc.

DirectX3d 9

Filed under: Technology — Victor @ 3:07 pm

I am trying to learn how to program in DirectX for managed code. Anyone out there willing to help, please don’t be bashful. At first I felt overwhelmed about learning it. I would take on look at an example and shun away. However, lately I am becomming more and more comfortable with it. I have come to a point where I will have to brush up on some of my triganometry skills. I will have to go to my bookshelf and dust off my trig book. I have not played alpha bleeding which is one of the reasons I wanted to start learning DirectX.

Can anyone offer any help? Thanks.

The Department of Defense said Thursday it intends to move forward on plans to use active radio frequency identification (RFID) technology to support collaborative military coalition operations with 24 countries. The partner list was made final late last month. read more.

As complicated as technology can be, the reality is that the technology is the easy part. Getting people to work together to achieve a common goal is much more difficult than making the technology sing and dance. The most successful IT professionals not only master the technology, but the also master the ability to influence others when you don’t carry the same big stick as Wal-Mart to achieve their goals. Influencing others when they don’t work for the same organization and when there are both language and cultural barriers can me a real challenge. Don’t underestimate the value of strong people skills as you work to become an IT professional. -Mart Doyle
