Clear out your GMail

It’s that time of the year where your Google warns you that you are running out of space in your GMail account. Best thing to do is get rid of old emails that exist in your Spam, Updates, Forums and Promotions folder. Here are a couple of search terms that worked for me:

  • larger:10M or larger:5M
  • category:updates older_than:3y is:unread
  • category:forums older_than:3y is:unread
  • category:promotions older_than:3y is:unread
    • In your promotions folder, double check to see what subscriptions are relevant and unsubscribe where necessary

Be sure to empty out your spam folder as well.

Google Storage will update the statistics once a day so check back later on how much space you saved.

Acumatica Developer MVP

I have been working for The Answer Company since mid 2019 and spent several months getting certified for Acumatica. The experience of learning the new cloud ERP has been a tremendous one. An ERP built with Microsoft technologies from the ground up is something that aligns with my skill set quite nicely.

After attending the Acumatica Summit in January 2020, I was inspired to pursue being an Acumatica Developer MVP. I was fortunate enough to be granted this opportunity and am now part of a group of highly skilled developers from across the continent. As part of being a Developer MVP, we were tasked with creating blog posts for the Acumatica site. My first blog post can be viewed here:

Nokia Purity Pro Wireless Headset

After reading Scott Hanselman’s review of Nokia’s Purity Pro BH940 wireless headphones, I had to get a pair.

I already have the Nokia Lumia 1020 so that was a perfect match.

The Purity Pro app automatically pops up when you connect the headphones via Bluetooth.

I have the headset connected to my Lenovo laptop for GotoMeetings, Skype, and listening to music. Simultaneously, I have the headset connected to my phone for phone calls, text message, and music from Nokia Mix Radio app and TuneIn. Did I mention simultaneously? It can connect two devices at the same time and store up to 8 devices in memory.

Add active noise cancellation to boot, and it’s the complete package. I’m looking forward to taking these on my next flight.

Pin the app to my main screen and you get a nice view of playback time.

First Trip to Nat Bailey

My first trip to Nat Bailey stadium with my daughter was better than anticipated. Promoted as a kid friendly park, it had a complete area for kids to play. Pretty awesome setup if your kid is 2 – 12 years old and needs to exert energy.

Tiny Form Factors

Blogging from my phone while listening to music. Things you can do on a small device. Desktop footprint has decreased dramatically in size as well. My sister and I bought this tiny lil desktop for my dad. The Lenovo M72e.
This tiny desktop does the trick for people who check email and use Office products. Lenovo adds a solid 3 year warranty on parts as well. Solid.

My version of Remembrance Day

 

On this day of Remembrance Day, I like to remember my late grandfather, the Late Honourable Lieutenant Bhag Singh Kaila who served 28 years for the Indian Army and retired in 1961.  He fought in World War II between the years 1939 – 1945 for the British Commonwealth.  He served for the Indian Army from Secunderabad (a well known army and air force presence).

 

My goal next year with the help of my dad will be to get more information on all the medals my grandfather achieved during is 28 years in the military.

Thanks “Bapu-Ji”
