Cannot use right click or drag/drop of mouse in Microsoft Word and Outlook 2003

Word_Icon_A Today I tried to copy and paste an email in Outlook 2003 but found out the SELECT ALL function of my mouse did not work. I could not highlight any texts in the mail body, and I could not even see the copy & paste options and the whole context menu by right clicking my mouse. 

Since I know I configured in the Outlook to use Microsoft Word 2003 as the primary email compose tool, I opened a new Word Window to see how things do in the Word. Same thing happened in Microsoft Word 2003, I could not use all my mouse right clicking.

Ubuntu 8.04 installed (with pictures)

ubuntu804 As its previous versions, the newer version of Ubuntu (version number 8.04 and code name ) is very easy for the installation. After downloading the ISO file from the Internet and pointing it with one of my virtual machine, the installation menu was there quickly. With its no-brain 7-step installation process, the overall time was less than an hour ( I got some issues with my virtual machine, but it was still cool compared with couple of hours with Windows OS installation).

Read on for more installation photo gallery… You can click the thumbnail to view the larger picture.

How to initial and cancel the call forwarding on Verison phones

Already got back to the office, and need to return the loaned 3G phone which I used overseas. Before I gave up this cool baby, I would have to cancel the calling forward to get my phone number back to my blackberry. Since I am not good at  remembering all these codes, I put them in this post for the future reference. Please be noted the codes here only for Verizon wireless provider.

To forward phone number A  to phone B, use *72 + phone number B:
On the phone currently using phone number A, dial “*721234567890” and send. Here, *72 is the special code, and 1234567890 is the new phone number which accepts the forwarded calls.

To cancel the call forwarding, dial *720
To cancel the forwarding, just dial “*720” on the original forwarded phone, and that is it.

On both of the above processes, please do not forget the * sign at the beginning. And normally you will hear a continued beep sound, that is OK your request still goes through if your provider allows you to do the call forwarding(meaning you paid this service).

A very good Chinese Airline ticket price comparison website

Smart consumers in USA will go to price-comparison websites (Such as expedia.com, sidestep.com,  travlocity.com etc. ) to find good deals on airline ticket, hotel price before their trips. Sometime, we can find good International travel deals on these websites as well. But as for the airline ticket pricing information for Chinese domestic travel, I would like to use some Chinese websites. One of them I like most is Qunar.com whose name means "Where are you going?" in Chinese. It is a search engine which can search prices from most travel (airline tickets, hotel) service providers’ websites based on your search query, and then filter, sort for you. Then you can purchase such services by clicking the links in the search result (sounds more like sidestep.com).

Based on my recent uses, the prices on the search result is the best price I can find on the Internet. So I recommend this web site to you if you are going to travel in China cities next time.
