The invitation for GrandCentral phone numbers

grandcentral Since GrandCentral is not opened for the public, and you will have to need an invitation to get a virtual phone number. I needed a one badly for my previously installed MagicJack which only had a non-local phone number. I asked for the invitation on a couple of website including DSLReports forum, but nobody replied. I was glad that I registered on GC website, since today I got an email from GC which invited me to experience its wonderful feature. Happily I went to its website by clicking the URL in the email, and spent a couple minutes on selecting a very good local phone number. Then I ported this lovely phone number to my MagicJack phone number and my cellular phone. Tested, and both of them ring when I dial this GC phone number. Great!

What is a GrandCentral phone number, anyway?

How to convert data from Microsoft® Money 2003 or later to Quicken 2004 to 2008

QuickenI installed Quicken 2008 Home & Business just wanted to upgrade my out-dated Microsoft® Money 2004, and the next step is to convert all data since I do not want to enter all data in Quicken again. I checked the Import… option from Quicken menu, but I could not find any import format for Microsoft Money.

After searching on Quicken support site, I found that I need an utility called Data Converter to do such job. The Data Converter converts your data from Microsoft® Money 2003 or later for use in Quicken for Windows version 2008, 2007, 2006, 2005, and 2004. It might also work with other versions of Money. If your version of Money can copy .XML files to your desktop, the Data Converter will likely convert your data.

To convert your data, you create 2 transaction reports in Microsoft Money: an Account transactions report for the standard transactions and an Investment transactions report for the investment transactions. You import the reports into Quicken and add some information that will help you take advantage of several Quicken features.

Here is the an excerpt of how-to: Continue reading ‘How to convert data from Microsoft® Money 2003 or later to Quicken 2004 to 2008′

How to enable or use Javascript and Flash embed in WordPress MU

WordPress Mu
Whenever I enter Javascript tags like <script>...</script> in the WordPress MU posts, they will disappear. The same thing is with the <object>..</object> and other HTML tags. I understand they got stripped by some filter codes due to the consideration of web security. But I need such tags badly since I have a lot of YouTube videos need to be embedded which come with <object> tags, and some Javascript tags too (like the countdown image from Ubuntu in my previous post).

What are the solutions? I could not find any official solutions from the support forum of WordPress MU website. Someone recommends to put the Javascript text in sidebar, or download some plugins to do so. Since I need to show videos in my posts, the widget sidebar one can not be good to me. I decide to change filter code file which was not my best choice though. Continue reading ‘How to enable or use Javascript and Flash embed in WordPress MU’

It is time for Ubuntu 7.10

UbuntuWell, first of all, I am not a Linux geek. But I like Ubuntu when I first touched it.

I heard from the website http://education.zdnet.com/?p=1250 that Ubuntu will release its newer version (called Gutsy Gibbon) in this month. According to Ubuntu’s own description, they will release a new version each half year and the latest one is 7.04 which was released on April, 2007. By the way, I think you already figured out how the Ubuntu version name convention works. Yes, that is right, the major version number comes from the Year (like 7 for 2007) and the minor version number is for the release month number.

What’s new with the new version: Continue reading ‘It is time for Ubuntu 7.10′
