Email Etiquette - Please introduce yourself when you email for the first time

Friday, April 21st, 2006 - 9:21 am

In a social culture, just as we introduce ourselves when starting a converstation; it would be highly appropriate to introduce oneself when one initiate an email converstation. It helps the recipient to decide how to reply, know who you are so that the recipient knows how to treat you better with an equally appropriate reply.

It had come to many instances where I have not replied back just because the mails are so awkward. Some typical regular ones in my Inbox includes that of -

• i want to build an application in flash, how much will it cost you
• i was loading the image in flash, but now it is not loading, why is it?
• please give me flash serial number (this one is funny, 1 in 20 mails that comes to me ask for flash or studio serial number)
• my phone number is 56756xxxx3 but i cannot connect to the internet, tell me how

Google Calendar - the best after Google Search & GMail

Friday, April 14th, 2006 - 8:10 am

Google Search is the de facto search engine for me and almost everybody else on the internet. Gmail is a good web based email client but have never been able to replace my desktop mail client and will not. I used it extensively for SVN/CVS notifications, mailing lists, newsletters, forum replies and everything else save for my personal & official mails. All other services of Google are good too but personally I don’t use any of them on a second to minute basis!

Everyday, as soon as I open my notebook; besides the tiny useful utilities, I have atleast 3 main applications opened all the time, Microsoft Oulook, Firefox running Gmail and Google’s Customized Home Page and my favorite Text-Editor (I am likely to move to NotePad++ soon).
