Top 10 steps in writing an effective e-mail

Top 10 steps in writing an effective e-mail


Below is a listing of our top 10 tips for writing an effective e-mail. Following these suggestions will get you a better response from your e-mails and make e-mailing more enjoyable for you and your recipients.

Keep your e-mails short
Less is more. The shorter you can keep your e-mail while still relaying your message or question the better. At most we suggest no more than three paragraphs of text.

Make the subject line clear and easy to read
The subject of the e-mail should contain enough information to let the recipient know the contents of an e-mail.

Make the e-mail personal
Always include the name or alias of the e-mail recipient. If you want the e-mail to be even more personal include your real name in the e-mail as well.

Watch your spelling and grammar
E-mail with spelling and other grammatical errors tells the reader it's not that important. Always spell check, keep the below suggestions in mind, and proof read the e-mail before sending it out.

Always use proper punctuation and capitalization.
Never use shorthand or acronyms people don't understand.
Do not WRITE IN ALL CAPS; it gives the impression you're YELLING.
Don't forward jokes and other e-mails
While you may find a joke funny or find an e-mail interesting or disturbing most people don't enjoy getting forwarded e-mails. Never forward e-mails to all your friends' and family.

Remember e-mail isn't private
Realize that e-mail is not encrypted and can be forwarded to other people. Never send personal or company confidential data in e-mail.

Reply to e-mails effectively
When replying to e-mails keep the below suggestions in mind.

Try to reply to e-mails as quickly as possible.
Use the "Reply to all" option cautiously. Really make sure if there are multiple recipients in the CC that everyone really needs to see your reply.
Keep the e-mail thread (previous messages) in the body of the message and your response at the top. Keeping the previous message helps the reader remember the e-mail discussion.

Do not over use e-mail program options such as "high-priority", "automatic replies", "read receipts", etc.

Keep the CC and BCC to a minimum
When using CC to send to e-mail to multiple recipients try to keep the list to a minimum. Often when someone sees more than four in the list they will disregard it as not important or think one of the other recipients are going to take care of the e-mail.

Also, use BCC instead of CC when it's not important for the e-mail recipients to see whom the e-mail was sent to and to help keep everyone's e-mail addresses private.

Use plaintext instead of HTML
Always send your e-mails as plaintext. It may not be as pretty but it does allow the e-mail to be read easier and is often less distracting.

Use a clean signature
Signatures can be an effective method of displaying your contact information at the bottom of e-mails. However, follow e-mail signature etiquette when creating a signature.

How to View two windows side-by-side using Smart Window

View two windows side-by-side using Smart Window

Smart Window, or Snap, allows the user to view two windows side-by-side in Windows 7 without having to manually re-size either window. Smart Window is also useful if you don't want to use Alt-Tab to switch between 2 windows. If you are running an earlier version of Windows, such as Windows XP or Windows Vista, see the Split and arrange open windows tip for suggestions.

Click and Drag on the top title bar of the first window so your mouse pointer hits either the left or right side of your screen. Let go of the window when you see the outline of the window re-size to ½ of the screen.


Choose the other window you want to view on the side of the first window. Click and Drag the 2nd window to the opposite side of the screen until the mouse pointer hits the side of the screen and resizes to the other ½ of the screen.
These steps can also be done using the Windows key and the right and left arrow keys by doing the steps below.

While pressing the Windows key on your keyboard, press either the Right or Left arrow to move the open window to either the left or right portion of the screen.
Choose the other window you want to view to the side of the window in step one. When using the Windows key for this step, as described in step one above, use the opposite (right or left) arrow button that you used in step one.
There are three different ways to get out of this view. Below are some of the different methods to do so.

Click and drag the window so the mouse pointer hits the top of the screen and let go to put the window back to regular size.

If you just want to view a single window, click a blank spot at the top, and while holding the mouse button down, shake the window you want to view. 

The shaking action will minimize all other windows to the Taskbar. To reopen windows that were minimized, click and shake the window you are using again.
Press the Windows key on your keyboard, and at the same time, press either the up arrow or the down arrow. The up arrow will maximize the window and the down arrow will minimize the window.

High-level language

High-level language

Sometimes abbreviated as HLL, a high-level language is a computer programming language that isn't limited by the computer, designed for a specific job, and is easier to understand. It is more like human language and less like machine language. However, for a computer to understand and run a program created with a high-level language, it must be compiled into machine language.

The first high-level languages were introduced in the 1950's. Today, high-level languages are in widespread use. These include BASIC, C, C++, Cobol, FORTRAN, Java, Pascal, Perl, PHP, Python, Ruby, and Visual Basic.

How do I create a computer program?

How do I create a computer program?

Note: Creating a computer program requires knowledge of one or more programming languages, as well as other considerations. This page does not provide step by step instructions for creating a program, as the steps differ depending on the type of program being created and the programming language.

Anyone interested in developing software, such as a program, game, or online service, must start by learning a programming language. There are many programming languages and creating a new software program requires more training and more time than one page can provide. Therefore, this page is meant as a general overview to help point you in the direction to get started. An important beginning step is to have a plan for what program you want to develop. For instance, a plan would include the purpose of the program, game, or service, and the features you want to include. Be thinking of what your plan is as you continue reading.

Picking the Language
As we noted above, there are many different programming languages. Deciding which language to learn can be a challenge by itself. Creating a program with many features and functions often requires you to be fairly proficient in one or more programming languages.

That being said, basic understanding of the concepts of pretty much any programming language can help to get you started. Our listing of programming languages includes examples of the various types of software each language can create. Here are a few of our recommendations.

Learn Computer Recommendations

Deciding on your programming language depends on what type of program or script you would like to create. For example, Java and Visual Basic are both popular because of their relative ease and because both are a good way to learn programming fundamentals. Other popular languages include C, C++, and C#, which are used to create games, apps, drivers, operating systems, as well as many of the software programs that run on a computer.

If you are interested in developing scripts and programs, like online forums and services, Perl, PHP, and Python are all popular choices, in addition to HTML.

Deciding on an editor
An editor is any program that allows you to write computer code. They range from simple, like a basic text editor, to advanced software, such as Adobe Dreamweaver, Eclipse, JDeveloper, or Microsoft Visual Studio. Fortunately, any program can be written in a text editor, which means you can get started for free. As you get more comfortable with a programming language, using a more advanced editor is recommended, as it can make coding and testing the code more efficient.

Learn Computer Recommendations

For Windows users, we suggest an editor such as Notepad ++ because it is free and supports syntax highlighting. If you're on a Mac, you can use their free editor named TextEdit. Also, it is good to keep in mind that visual programming languages, like Visual Basic, include the editor and compiler in the same tool used to create programs.

Compiler
Most computer programming languages are high-level programming languages, meaning they are easy for you to understand, but impossible for a computer to understand. For the computer to "read" your program, it must be compiled or have an interpreter. Your programming language is the deciding factor on whether or not you'll need a third-party program to compile or interpret it.

For example, Eclipse is an interpreter that takes a program written in Java and "translates" it into code that can be run on and understood by a computer. Other languages, like Perl, are interpreted, meaning they do not need to be compiled. These languages only require that they are installed on the computer or the server that is running the script.

Learning the language
After you have decided on a programming language, editor, and compiler, you are ready to program. For most users, the easiest way to start is with the infamous Hello World! program. After you have been able to run your program that prints "Hello World!" to the screen, the next step is to learn the language's syntax. To do so, you need to understand the following concepts:

Understand how to declare variables
Create conditional statements (e.g., if, elsif, and else)
Perform loops (e.g., do, for, foreach, goto, and while)
Understand escape sequences
How to make comments or temporarily disable parts of the code
Understand regular expressions
As you run into questions, an Internet search can answer most of them. Books written for your programming language or programming courses are great ways to develop your skills further.

How to buy the best Power Supply Unit (PSU) for your PC?

How to buy the best Power Supply Unit (PSU) for your PC?


The most underrated component in your personal computer is perhaps the power supply unit. Many users only consider the wattage factor alone to buy a power supply with the misconception that higher wattage means better power supply. Other users don’t even think anything before purchasing a power supply.

Little do they know that power supply unit affects the stability and the reliability of your computer. Though only a little bit of attention is given to power supply unit, it cannot be denied that it is one of the essential components. In this post, we will tell you how to buy the best power supply unit for your personal computer.

Buy a branded power supply unit
It is advised that you buy the PSU from a branded manufacturer. Also, even when buying from a reputable manufacturer, don't forget to check its reviews. The best thing about buying a branded PSU is that it is of good quality and it comes with a warranty.

Check the power output of your PSU
Usually, you can check the output of a PSU in its information section. The output information is mostly provided in watts. Most of the brochures, tell the users about the peak power output. The catch is that we don't need a peak power output but a good continuous power. So, when checking the power output, instead of checking it in the peak efficiency level, have a look at the power output for a longer time to have a clear idea about it.

Choose an efficient PSU
Choosing an efficient PSU has the following advantages:

•    Better components

•    Less power wastage

•    Less heat generation

•    Less fan noise

Check the efficiency rating while buying a PSU. An efficiency rating of 80 percent means that it will provide 80 percent of the rated wattage to your computer system and it will lose the remaining 20 percent as heat. Try buying the PSU that comes with an efficiency rating of '80 Plus'.

Single rail or multi rail?
Honestly, both the single-rail and the multi-rail will deliver the same performance. Both of them are good and are safe. However, if you are looking for an extra layer of protection, go for multi-rail OCP which can secure your device and its components from short circuits.

Hard-wired cables or fully-modular cabling?
Technically, hard-wired cables are better because it eliminates the need for an additional connection between the PCB and the connector. Modular cabling might look better, but the hard-wired cabling does the job for you.

Wrap Up

Next time, when you go to buy a PSU, keep all these factors in your mind.

How to make a network cable

How to make a network cable

To create a network cable, you will first need the equipment listed below.

Cat5, Cat5e, Cat6, or Cat7 cable - This cabling can be purchased in large spindles at stores that specialize in cabling. Cat5 cabling is the most commonly used cable used today for networks.
RJ-45 connectors - These connectors can be purchased at most electronic stores and computer stores and usually come in bulk packages. It is always a good idea to get more than you think you need.

Crimping tool - These tools are often purchased at electronic stores such as radio shack. To create a network cable you need a crimper that is capable of crimping a RJ-45 cable (not just a RJ-11 cable, which looks similar to a RJ-45).

Wire stripper or Knife - If you plan on making several network cables you should also consider getting a wire stripper cable of stripping Cat5, Cat6, or your cable of choice. If you do not plan on creating many network cables a knife will suffice. For simplicity and to prevent potential issues we recommend a wire stripper.

Once you have the necessary equipment needed to create a network cable you need to determine the type of network cable you want to create. There are two major network cables: a straight through cable and a crossover cable. Below are some examples of what cable is used for each of the examples.

Straight through cable (T568A)
Computer to hub, switch, router, or wall.
Crossover cable (T568A & T568B)
Computer to Computer with no switch or hub.

Network device to network device. For example, router to router.

Once you have determined the type of network cable strip the cable. We recommend stripping at least a half of an inch off of the cable to expose the inner wires. Don't be worried about stripping too much of the network cable jacket off since you can always cut the wires down more if needed later. After the network cable jacket has been removed separate the wires within the cable so they can be put into the RJ-45 connector.

The CAT5 twisted-pair cables consist of four twisted wires, each color coded; one a solid color and the other a stripped color. As seen below, most network cables consist of a green, blue, orange, and brown pair of cables.

There are two cable standards T568A and T568B, each twisted-pair must be broken apart to create the layout as shown above. If you want to create a straight through cable, both ends of the cable should be identical and should match the T568A example shown above. If you want to create a crossover cable, one end of the cable should match T568A and the other should match T568B.

Once you have separated the ends of the cable to match one of the above examples, place the cables into the RJ-45 connector and then use the crimping tool to attach the connector. Do these steps for each side of the cable.

Once both ends of the cable have been completed, connect the cable to make sure it is working.

How do I use FTP from a command line?

How do I use FTP from a command line?

Note: FTP is not an encrypted transmission, which means any data sent over it, including your username and password, could be read by anyone who may intercept your transmission. If you're wanting a more secure transmission, we suggest using SFTP.

• Connect using FTP
• Send and receive a file in FTP
• FTP commands

Connect using FTP
To connect to another computer using FTP at the MS-DOS prompt, command line, or Linux shell type FTP and press Enter. Once in FTP, use the open command to connect to the FTP server, as shown in the example below.

open ftp.example.com

In the above example, you'd substitute example.com for the domain name or IP address of where you are connecting. An example would be open 192.167.1.12.

Note: By default, the open command uses the TCP port 21 to make the FTP connection. If a different TCP port is needed for connecting to the domain name or IP address you are using, enter the port number after the domain name or IP address in the open command.

Once connected, a username and password prompt will appear. Once these credentials have been entered, the server allows you to browse, send, or receive files, depending on your rights. Some servers may also allow anonymous logins using guest or an e-mail address.

Send and receive a file in FTP
To get files from the server onto your computer, use the get command as shown in the example below. In this example, you would get the file myfile.htm.

get myfile.htm

Tip: If you want to get more than one file, use mget and wildcards. For example, if you wanted to get all files that end with .htm, you could type mget *.htm. Finally, if you do not want to be prompted as each file is being sent, make sure to type prompt to disable prompting.

To send a file from your computer to the computer you are connected to, assuming you have the rights, use the send command as shown in the example below. In this example, we are sending the myfile.htm to the current directory.

send myfile.htm
It is important to realize that the files being sent must be in your local working directory, which is the directory you were in when you typed the FTP command. If you want to change to the directory that contains your files, use the lcd command. For example, in Windows, you'd type lcd c:\windows to set the local directory to the Windows directory.

FTP Commands
Depending upon the version of FTP and the operating system being used, each of the below commands may or may not work. Typing -help or a ? will list the commands available to you. Below is a general description of FTP commands available in the Windows command line FTP command.

Linux and Unix FTP command help and information.

CAT5

CAT5

Alternatively referred to as an Ethernet cable, a CAT5 or Category 5 is a description of network cabling that consists of four twisted pairs of copper wire terminated by an RJ-45 connector. Cat5 has a maximum length of 100m, exceeding this length without the aid of bridge or other network device could cause network issues. The picture shows an example of what a CAT5 cable may look like with the connector, as well as the other end of the cable with each of the wires it contains.








 

How to remove an Ethernet cable
Locate the Ethernet cable; it should be on the back or side of your laptop or PC.
Grasp the cable connector as close to the port as you can.
You should feel a tab on the top or bottom (it may be under a rubber cable end coating).
Depress this tab and pull the cable out.
Note: The cable should come out very easily. If it doesn't, you haven't pressed the tab down far enough.
