Search Parameter in Widows and Outlook

I have the need to figure out by week what was modified in my file system.
Fortunately there’s a string to put in the search box that will give you just that:

modified:7/2/2018 .. 7/31/2018

How about if you need to screen all emails from one week in time in Outlook.
Fortunately there’s a string to put in the search box that will give you just that:

received:7/2/2018 .. 7/31/2018

I’m sure that this format can be used in many other cases (e.g sent items) so it’s good to keep in mind.

Removing Twitter Things

A long while ago my Twitter account was compromised resulting in me following thousands of people I didn’t know or want to follow.  So it’s cleanup time and they don’t have a very good way of doing this (thanks Twitter) but found this really geeky way to make it work on YouTube.

Here is the code for deleting the folks your following:

$(‘.unfollow-text’).each(function() { $(this).trigger(‘click’); });

Goodbye to an awesome open source project

It seems the open source Gallery Project is calling it quits.  That’s a shame as I’ve been using it for well over a decade.  I guess in this day and age of social media there isn’t much of a call for your photos on your website.  But there is for me.  If I put something out there I own it and yes I know that it can copied ad infinium but the point of it is I own it.  So the search begins for a replacement, I’ll check to see what coppermine is up to and if you know of anything good let me know.
