Knowingly or unknowingly it's a common mistake that happens in everyone's PC. Not every personal PC users are experts in organizing folder/drive structures. We just put the same documents/files in different location and we forget to delete those documents.

Adding time in Excel

Dear Readers,

Last week i came across a scenario where i have 4000+ rows which has time on it and i need to add 2 hrs to the each rows. I was wondering if i could do it thru some formula. With no time i got the solution.

The formula i used is  " = A1+ time(hr,min,sec)". 

(Eg: =03:00:00 AM + time(2,0,0) will give us 05:00:00 AM.) 

That's it now you can duplicate the formula to 4000 rows and you get your result. Make sure you copy the formulated column and paste with special values in different column so that it can be used for further reference else you can't refer this column for other manipulations.

Arrow near iPhone Battery icon

Dear Readers,

I have questioned myself often that why all sudden there was an arrow near to my iPhone battery icon. After a long research i found out the reason.

The meaning of the icon is pointing to your location information. Yes, Now a days most of the apps in app store asks for your location information. We mostly click on "Don't Allow" button but unknowingly/knowingly we might have clicked on "OK". That particular application is using the GPS function for your location information at background. This issue happens for iOS4 users only.

Go to Settings --> General --> Location Services then see if you have turned on any location services, tap it to switch it off. The arrow will disappear. If your are not worried about capturing your location information then no worries, just skip it and use this article as an information.

Interview Tips

Dear Readers,

I am getting emails from my juniors requesting to share some interview tips. Let me put this word first i am not an human resource expert as such, but with my professional experience and the things that i have learnt will be more enough to this post i hope. In-case if i am wrong somewhere please correct me.

Attending an interview is not a big task unless until if you have few stuffs in your brain and clear vision in your life. Following points will help you to get prepared for a interview.

1. Plan Ahead : Little homework is required. Check the companies official webpage and read who are they and what are they doing? Try to get details of who is CEO and regional heads.
2. Be on Time: Avoid driving yourself in bikes, go for public transit or car should be fine. The reason is bikes will make your dress dusty and in case of more heat / rain it will mess your dress more easily. Reach 30 mins before your interview time, as many of the companies have some formalities of filling forms and other registrations @ receptions.
3. Switch off your Cell phone: A Mandatory task for everyone. Remember getting this job is gonna change your life talking over cell phone can be done at any time. Don't mute it switch it off nothing is gonna happen in 1hr call break. 4/5 people don't turn off their cell phones during interview which will annoy the interviewer. It may result to loose your interview.
4. Bring Resume : Bring 2/3 copies of your resume that you have sent to that company. Make sure you don't lie on your resume.
5. Dress professionally: Make sure you have dressed very neat. I am sure you are good in that.
6. Avoid Badmouth: If you are a fresher don't give any negative feedback about your college and if you are a job holder please don't tell bad about your previous manager.
7. Self Discipline: Behave yourself once you enter into the company for interview. Every single moment is screened from you enter until you exit. Don't talk stories with your co-friends who came for interview. 
8. Eye Contact: It's must and known thing. It will express your truthfulness and your boldness. So keep your eye contact with all your interviewers.
9. Ask Questions: Once your interview is over it's a common thing that your interviewer will ask you "Do you have anything to ask us?" Don't simply say NO. You should make sure you have some questions to ask him/her other than asking to them like "Am i selected?". If he didn't give this chance you can put your question yourself. This will reinforces your interest towards this job.
10. Give a Thank Note: Make sure you thank him before you leave the room.

Use your common sense everywhere that's more enough.

Wireless Password Recovery

Dear Readers,

The main aim of this blog is to learn and share of our practical difficulties that we faced in our day to day professional life. I kindly request you to comment either with your positive/negative opinion on the article whichever i am writing it. Once again thanks for your constant support. In case if you had faced any technical difficulty and if you feel like sharing please let me know thru the contact me form. We shall post it in this blog with your name.

Okay, Last week one of my friend called me and the problem he had was he forgot his router password. He was staying in a shared accommodation  house and unfortunately his friends were unreachable. He asked what to do as he is not the owner of the network. All i know was this software which will recover all the stored wireless network password for us. I shared the same with him and in no time he was able to get into his network.

This doesn't happen to him alone, Once we give the password and store it in our computer it stores for ever. Whenever we get into that network it detects automatically with the help of Zero Configuration service offered by windows. So when your system asks you to re-enter your password there are chances that you may not remember it exactly after months/years. This tool would be helpful in this case.

WirelessKeyView software recovers all wireless network security keys that is stored in your computer. The best part of this software is it doesn't require any installation or dll files. Just run the exe file which will give you the desired result.

Free Photoshop Brushes

Dear Readers,

I am a very big lover of photoshop. I can say it's my hobby to do some editing in photo's and make some fun. I am not an expert as such but i love it. There are few fans for my workouts :)

Coming to our point, Often it's hard when editing a photo and place some trees, leafs etc., so there are brushes that we can use which will resemble like a leaf/tree/ anything else. Adobe doesn't give the brushes like this with it's software all we need to do is to get the brushes from third parties and install it in your tool. That's it with the sizes you will get the object.

To get the free brushes click here.

Abbu's Rating would be : 3/5.
