My Gmail SuperStars

  1. yellow-star:  Normal, default -- it is Gmail native flag.
  2. green-check:  What has been done, replied, responded. Normally when a topic is routine, scheduled, or followed up.
    • Another implication is to indicate mail which I expect for replying, and when it comes back then it's my turn to review: i.e., this icon indicates "what I'm waiting for" -- mail that needs reviewing (and may even expect my next action!).
  3. blue-info:  Specific information -- require some further attention/action.
  4. purple-question:  Need further discussion, finding-out.
  5. orange-guillemet:  To delegate/assign to someone else.
  6. red-bang: ATTENTION, IMPORTANT
Associated implication (normally in multiple inboxes or quick links)
  • 'Reports & info' =  l:.report OR has:green-check OR has:blue-info
  • 'Reports? (inbox)' = in:inbox subject:(report OR status) OR has:green-check
  • ...

Others that I don't use
  • Other stars (red, orange, green, blue, purple): Let be simple, one star is enough. These colours are also redundant with others.
  • yellow-bang: default star is already yellow.

My mail tags/folders

friends2
9/23) = friend friend = friend's friend: friend of friend.
For social-networking catagorisation.

ROM
9/25) Review of operation/management
Others in consideration
- MOR, MORe: management/operation review
- MM: management memo

run (.run)
10/1) From classic computing term. This is because using "done/end" is not practical in Gmail: an already done/end mail can be later replied and then returned to Inbox (and not done/end yet) again. Note that "run" is also the past-participle of same "run": i.e., no matter it is returned/restarted, it was run anyway :)

IT vs security

Facebook: wall, Yesterday at 6:14pm
iMAP, FriendFeed, Yammer, survey, PC-Requests ...
Debica> Yammer?
Vipas> Yammer.com, company social networking: http://ff.im/7QroE
Arjin> P'Vipas, I've closed my account for long, since I receive email from security about confidential information related :)
Vipas> IMHO, it depends on how we use and manage. If we always looked for absolute security, we threw off cloud computing and never went to any information technology nowadays; then accepted staying suffered every morning for anti-malware updating or even allowed yield dropping to install scanning shield to guarantee best(?) protection.
Arjin> haha....like it :)

Would we walk on left or right?

เราควรเดินชิดข้างไหนบนทางเดินสาธารณะ?

Left
  1. ตามการเขียนหนังสือ -- ถ้ามีป้ายหรือประกาศข้างทาง จะอ่านได้สะดวก
  2. ตามระบบจราจร

Right
  1. เวลาอยู่บนทางเท้าข้างถนนจะเห็นรถสวนง่ายกว่า

Otherwise
  1. ควรใช้มือไหนจับราว(บันได)?
