Signature Issue When Replying in Outlook for Mac 2011

October 24, 2011 by 7 Comments

I noticed when replying to emails that were sent in plain text vs. HTML that my default signature would include the name of the signature above the actual configured signature in the reply.  In my case, “Adam” was the name of the signature I created for my GMAIL signature.  In the images below you see my signature and Adam above it.

Go to Outlook>Preferences>Composing and uncheck “When replying or forwarding, use the format of the original message.” which seemed to resolve the issue.

Send A File Right To Evernote From Within Finder

October 18, 2011 by 1 Comment

Wish you could control click on a file or document directly from within Finder and send it straight into Evernote?  I believe the Windows version can but not the Mac.  So that is why I searched and found an applescript written by Stephen Millard on his blog Thought Asylum.  Much thanks to Stephen who provided the applescript itself and written instructions on how to use Mac’s built-in Automator application to create the workflow.  It was super easy and works great.  Watch the following video I created outlining the step by step procedure.

Saving The Output From A Telnet Session

March 20, 2011 by 11 Comments

“telnet “IP Address” -f “file location”      E.G.  telnet  192.168.1.1   -f   c:\router_cfg.txt

Telnet Session

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

Open a Command Window from within Windows and “tail” the session by using the argument -f with the telnet command.  This is a easy way to grab a Show Run, Show Version, and Capture Debugging messages from within the telnet session.   This is much easier than trying to copy and paste the output into Notepad from within the command window.  The scrollback within command.exe is not usually long enough for large Cisco router,firewall, or switch configurations.  This way you can simply open a command window, telnet to your device and get your Show commands and exit knowing that all the output will be stored in the text file you specified.
