EnGraph Holiday Party

During a wonderful dinner at Paisano's, I presented the Where's Tim T-Shirt Version 1.0 to the company. I recommended that we all wear them as often as possible to promote what we can do. Tim and Chelsea had to leave the bowling tournament early...so Carl and I made a funny pic...

Everyone loved the shirts!

Tim talks about them here and here.

Anyway, Carl also gave away the EnGraph Holiday Sporting Champion Trophy also. Mark won the 2-game bowling tournament with a combined score of 117+160 = 277. I was 2nd place with a 223.

EnGraph Holiday Sport Champions:
2005-Mark Connolly
2004-Mark Connolly
2003-Judy Kurt

It will be mine next year!

The Ole Village Greens Golf Course

Peez took me out to one of our old college favorites 2 weekends ago. The course is called THE VILLAGE GREENS and it resides in lovely Ozawkie, KS near Perry Lake.

Transferring Outlook Data

Tim showed me how to use the Microsoft 'Save My Office Settings' tool, which worked like a champ as I was setting up my new machine. So if you want to have the same settings, toolbar locations, rules, etc. on a different machine...just go to Microsoft Office Tools->Save My Settings. Then transfer that file (*.OPS) to the new machine and load it the same way, very nice. Now to Outlook... I wanted to transfer all of my outlook data to the new machine also, which required messing with the infamous 'outlook.pst' file. This file can be found at "C:\Documents and Settings\Kyle Archer\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\Outlook\". I found out that PST stands for 'Personal Store' according to Microsoft. Anyway, this monster file contains all your emails, events, contacts, notes, etc. It can get quite large and mine was appraoching a Gig. Even when you clean out your junk mail, delete stuff then remove your 'Deleted Items', it doesn't do m...
