Whether you had to find a job years ago, are currently in the process of job hunting, or you’re looking at the prospect of job hunting in your near future, the one thing that every job hunter has in common is the need for a resume. If you really think about it, what is a resume? Is it really all about stuffing as much information about yourself as possible on a single sheet of paper?

I remember when I was a kid, I used to close the door to my room, fire up the old DOS-based computer that booted up off a floppy disk, and then pretend that I was controlling my own space ship with that computer. Without any cool graphics or special effects, I had to use my imagination – with the help of the night sky outside – to imagine that I was the Captain of my own Starship Enterprise, confronting Romulans.

One of the most frustrating parts of working with VBA inside specific applications, is that it’s not always easy to get two applications to “talk” to each other. You can try for very quick transactions of information between applications is passing data to the clipboard, and then reading that information from the other application.

The one thing that I’ve always struggled with is finding a really good mobile app that gives me the level of interaction with Facebook that I have when I’m sitting at home on the PC. I’ve been using the official mobile Facebook app for quite a while, but I find that it’s somewhat slow on the Android, and the most recent version has started crashing on me. However, recently I came across the mobile Seesmic app.

As Yaara announced last week, NASA has recently launched it’s first Facebook app called Space Race Blastoff. Usually I’m not really into Facebook apps – they waste way too much time and I end up falling behind in my work. What I found with Space Race Blastoff however was that it wasn’t a waste of time at all. It’s a brilliant way to clear your mind, and it’s really fun to go head-to-head with other real players on Facebook.

Whether or not you are a fan of Microsoft, one good thing that can be said about MS Office products, at least, is how easy it is to integrate each of them with one another. Just think of the power that comes from having incoming emails automatically generating new tasks or new calendar appointments, or having a completed task automatically email your boss with the updated status report from the task description.

During your work week, there are probably lots of times that you find yourself copying and pasting information from Excel into Word, or the other way around. This is how people often produce written reports based on data that’s accumulated and updated in an Excel spreadsheet. In this article, I’m going to dive a little more into the background VBA scripting that allows you to actually program connections between data in Excel and Word.

In the past, I’ve used email a whole lot in my batch jobs and other automated scripts, just like I’ve described in past articles. These are great for those times when you have a script that’s monitoring the health of a computer or the status of a specific process, but what if you want to automate sending emails from within Office products like Word or Excel?

Wordpress is a brilliant invention, and has made it possible for more and more people to have amazing websites, with beautiful themes. However, there is still the matter of the content area, which still needs to be formatted for pictures, ads and well-spaced content. With a few simple steps, you can create your very own carefully formatted content template that will appear every time you click “Add New” in Wordpress.

The difficulty with connecting with so many people across the world is time zones. You may want to be available to interact with your readership or to do business with potential clients, but at some point, you have to sleep. Enter the chat bot. A chat bot can serve as your front desk “digital secretary” when you aren’t available to accept IM requests.
