Comment on How To Change The Default Font in Microsoft Outlook 2007 by Gerald Marisch

Gerald Marisch — Tue, 08 Nov 2011 16:41:12 +0000

I’m using Outlook 2007. I select Rich Text, ARIEL BOLD for my Send and Receive email font. BOLD appears if I DON’T exit Outlook 2007 w/ Windows7. If I exit and re-enter Outlook 2007, the font is Regular, not Bold, when I compose or reply to an email. How can this be corrected?

Comment on Smartphone Review: Nokia Astound on T-Mobile Network by John Chew

John Chew — Wed, 15 Jun 2011 11:21:49 +0000

I came very close to buying this phone here in Hong Kong. My North American N8 was giving me issues because it did not have the firmware that allows for Chinese characters, Ovi Store wasn’t working, etc. So I had the option to trade in my N8 for a C7 (which is the Astound) I believe. I am glad I did not. First of all I’m not crazy about the form factor of the phone. And I’m just a little tired of Symbian 3 and Ovi. I agree with the reviewer that for a person new to smartphones the Astound isn’t a bad phone. The camera is great, and Symbian 3 isn’t all bad. It frustrates Nokia-loyalists like me. Great review. Fairly and objectively written. Thanks!

Thanks for the orientation tip. Yeah, that was the first thing I checked. Didn’t work.

The project actually sounds like a great idea!

But if I were able to turn back the clock (!), I wouldn’t have bought it in the first place.

Comment on Outsource Your Work With Freelancers by Kenny

Kenny — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 13:22:36 +0000

John, I’ve used outsourced freelancers for a gamut of things!

For example, I have hired a virtual assistant on retainer for XX hours per month – I am able to send task requests via chat, email, web form, or by leaving a detailed voicemail. Tasks I’ve used the VA for include basic web research on question I have – What are exact requirements and IRS forms needed to get the tax credit for installing a high efficiency HVAC system? Or find out the service times for approx. 60 online churches I’m tracking and update my spreadsheet.

I’ve hired coders to help build out websites such as a flashcard website in flash. Or when I was on vacation and *just* upgraded to Windows 7 before leaving, but didn’t test out my laptop, I found out after arriving in the hotel room that my webcam, mic, and other onboard components didn’t work. After trying to download and update drivers myself unsuccessfully for 30 minutes, I posted a tech support gig. Within 25 min I found a qualified guy in Morocco that worked on my laptop for 4 hours via remote desktop sharing and fixed it all (price tag: $7.15…I gave him a bonus though).

I’m now working to post a job using Amazon Turks to help me acquire survey data on an issue I’d like to write about on another blog. It will probably cost me $25-$50 to gather up 100-200 data points on the various questions/topics I want to investigate.

Another job is to input tags for blog posts on a blog that I recently ported over from blogger.com to wordpress. Better tagging will help overall SEO, and having a human go through the couple hundred posts and find descriptive keywords (I will supply a general list of related keywords for that blog to the freelancer to help them get them going) is something that is worth the expense.

I just commissioned a folk song by a quirky guitar player I found for a promotional marketing campaign I am running on another website. The next step it to have a motion graphic or slide show video clip created to match the length of the song and once edited together, publish and syndicate that content to appropriate outlets (this last part of course could be outsourced too!).

As you can see, the options are endless.

My suggestion is to with a start small job, be as detailed as possible about the job you are describing, look at portfolios & ratings of bidders on your job, ask questions to clarify anything and everything before hiring them.

Good luck!
