lozano car wash, mountain view

lozano is fast and efficient and fairly inexpensive

a bit too efficient, they tore out my factory
floor matts, with screw down lock trying to
clean my floor carpet..., breaking one of the latches off.

what i saved on the wash, i lost on the matts
damn....

Double Tree Bakersfield, ---

DoubleTree Bakersfield was staffed by friendly people
While checking in, a clerk offered me free internet,
I graciously accepted, he pulled the charge off my bill
after arriving home, i discovered they had rebilled me.

Doubletree Hotel Bakersfield
3100 Camino Del Rio Court, Bakersfield, California, United States 93308
Tel: 1-661-323-7111 Fax: 1-661-323-0331

DoubleTree, Bakersfield

so it really wasn't free after all.

If they promised you free internet, forget it..!
it's an empty promise.

Best Buy delivery service.....12jan08, we'll see...

bought a new Sony LCD HDTV for my mom and dad for Christmas,
@ Best Buy in San Carlos. they set up delivery for my
parents who live in Stockton, for Sat 12jan08.

Best Buy subcontracts deliveries to 3rd parties when deliveries
are out of the store district. Usually BestBuy or the delivery
company leavees a phone message regarding the schedule
24 hours in advance.

no message today, delivery is set for tomorrow evening
called San Carlos, no one can help me in A/V or Magnolia
to look up the delivery schedule, although they can
do that when you buy the TV. suspicious....

Called 888 BestBuy
they gave me the Livermore delivery company who is closed.

Verdict out, will Best Buy sully their reputation
we'll see.

KW - Bestbuy delivered, parents we're very pleased
BestBuy called the night before which didn't allow
alot schedule flexibility, but they delivered!

Clear Context for Outlook 2003/7

I've been testing v3.0 Clear Context IMS Professional and Personal
for nearly 1 year now. Clear Context, an Outlook plugin runs sweetly
on either Outlook 2003/7 by organizing mails/tasks/schedules by categories or priorities and into projects if you like. the application uses color coding and email threads to help partition email into logical easy to view and manage categories.

Much of the product can be automated, to filter email into logical containers
suitable for my work flow.

Installation is simple and integrates well with outlook.

I think Scoble recommended this product a few years ago,
after i finally had a chance to convert and use the application
I swear by it.....

HIghly recommended, check it out, you'll be glad you did.
you can try out a "trial" version...to get a feel for the UI,
the tool bar, the various outlook folder views that are possible.

outlook 2007 incompatibilities

mapilab tools for managing your email
cf. searching contacts and emails for duplicates.

installation crashes outlook 2007; outlook proptly disables them

Lookout,
is indispensible for hashing your email and searching rapidly
around 1 second for evaluating a 1.5 GByte file.
it makes filing your email much less important.
and so fast email becomes really useful.

as previously reported,
Microsoft has disabled lookout on load. it installs, but MSFT won't let you execute it.

the outlook 2007 single folder search is broken and immediately aborts( and hardly worth using even when it works). the windows desktop search is extremely slow, in comparison,



both these products work flawlessly on outlook 2003,
MSFT should support both these products immediately.
