How Do I Save Messages Sent From A Shared Mailbox To The Sent Items Folder Of The Shared Mailbox?

Posted on May 7, 2019 by timlyg

Exchange 2013/2016
( https://kb.intermedia.net/Article/34469##exch )
This is because when a user sends/replies as/on behalf of a shared/other mailboxes, the mails are saved under the Sent Items folder of that user's personal account instead of the shared/other mailbox's Sent Items folder. The following is the solution:

Important:

  • the instructions apply only if you have full access permissions to a mailbox you want to send emails from. 
  • Administrator rights are required to edit Windows Registry. This is because it is not safe and you will perform this operation at your own risk.

This method is also available for Exchange 2010. However, the first method is recommended for Exchange 2010 mailboxes.

In order to save messages sent from a shared mailbox in the sent items of the shared mailbox, modify the Registry for your Outlook:

  1. Click Start, click Run, type Regedit, and then click OK.
  2. Navigate to HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\x.0\Outlook\Preferences
    The x.0 depends on your Outlook version: 16.0 = Outlook 2016, 15.0 = Outlook 2013, 14.0 = Outlook 2010
  3. Right-click on Edit menu, navigate to New > DWORD Value
  4. Type DelegateSentItemsStyle, press Enter
  5. Double-click DelegateSentItemsStyle, type in 1 in the Value Data box, click OK

Apam Balik

Posted on May 5, 2019 by timlyg

Or Apom Balik?

I have definitely missed this one for a long long time:

Pasting their recipe here, in case the video disappears:

'APAM BALIK'
How To Make It

'Apam Balik' is the Malay name of a traditional pancake topped with butter, ground roasted peanut and creamy sweet corn. It is then folded into semicircle shape and cut into wedges before serving. Translated, 'Apam Balik' means 'Folded Pancake'. Available everywhere in Malaysia, it is a hugely popular snack among the local populace. It is sold mostly at pasar malam (night market) and other hawker food outlets. Other than the original peanut flavour, new flavours such as strawberry and chocolate are fast catching on, especially among the young.

Ingredients for the batter:

* Plain flour (250g)
* Sugar (½ Cup)
* Bicarbonate soda (½ tbs)
* Baking powder (½ tbs)
* Salt (1 tsp)
* Vanilla essence (1 tsp/optional)
* Water (500ml)

Ingredients for the filling:

* Creamed corn (3-4 drops per pancake)
* Crushed roasted peanuts (a sprinkling in each pancake)
* Brown sugar (a sprinkling per pancake)
* Butter or oil for frying

Method:

  1. Put all the ingredients apart from the water in a bowl, mix together and then make a well in the middle. Slowly pour the water in and stir or whisk to form a smooth liquid batter. Add a little more water in if you find the batter is slightly on the thick side. Let the batter sit for 30 mins or store in the refrigerator to use later or the next day.
  2. Roast your peanuts in a dry frying pan if bought unroasted. Crush the peanuts using a pestle and mortar or food processor. You want them crushed small but not powdery.
  3. Heat a small frying pan on medium heat (I prefer to use a non-stick egg pan) and add a dab of butter or coating of oil this adds to the flavour and makes it even easier to flip.
  4. Pour in a small amount of batter to the pan. I usually use my measuring cup (¼ cup) to ensure I get a consistent thickness for each pancake. Swivel your pan so that the batter coats the whole pan.
  5. Once you see bubbles forming scatter the whole pancake with a layer of peanuts, a sprinkle of sugar and 3-4 drops of creamed corn. You can add a few drops of melted butter in too for extra indulgence.
  6. Carry on cooking the pancakes until the batter is fully cooked and the bottom is golden brown. Then carefully using a spatula or palette knife fold the pancake in half to form a half moon. Remove from the pan and place on a wired rack while you make more. But they're really served best hot off the pan!

How to connect to Wifi automatically (i.e. after reboot, etc.) while still connected to ethernet

Posted on April 26, 2019 by timlyg

I have this problem at work when trying to have a device maintain connection to a HP Printer (Laserjet Pro M477fnw) via Wi-Fi Direct. Because it is also connected to the internet via Ethernet, the Wifi-Direct hotspot in the printer always stays inactive every time after reboots. It's as if Windows 10 thinks one connection is enough, even when I checked "Connect Automatically" for Direct-ea-HP-m477....

It turns out this can be fixed in the registry:

HKLM\Software\Policies\Microsoft\Windows\WcmSvc\

See if the GroupPolicy subkey exists, if not with WcmSvc highlighted, right click on WcmSvc and Choose New -> Key and name it GroupPolicy, then click GroupPolicy and then in the right pane, (right-click) and choose New -> DWORD (32-bit) and create value, name it as fMinimizeConnections and Click OK. Now, reboot and test. This policy allows you to connect automatically to wireless network, even with a LAN plugged in and works on both Windows 8/8.1 and 10.

Now the user can both print and scan via Wi-Fi Direct without any manual connection/setup. Other users should be able to do the same too. According to the manual, Wifi Direct allows up to 5 device connections.

Jewish Wedding

Posted on April 15, 2019 by timlyg

Attended my first conservative leaning Jewish wedding.

The bride is my wife's co-worker at Mt. Sinai Hospital. A Russian Jew. Khava & Michael.

I get to wear a kippah/yamulke and keep it! Something I've always been curious about. I've also wondered how one keeps that on the head especially when it's so small and for some with very little hair. I haven't solved the mystery with baldness, but it took a while for me to learn to use the pin that comes with it, so that it locked onto my head pretty firmly. The place is Kol Yaakov Hall in Brooklyn. It would appears to be a special place made for Jewish weddings and similar events.

We put $200 in the gift box. No one attends to the box. I wonder if this confidence in security is a Jewish trait. After all, the Jews are all bar mitzvah!

We get to eat before the ceremony. Drink from the bar.

The men and women are seated separately during the ceremony. Some women did not seem to like this "old fashion" seating arrangement. I love it on the other hand. Tradition! The rabbi that ministered the wedding sang from time to time old Jewish songs. And some Russian men in the back just kept saying Amen Amen.

At Grace OPC service earlier, Chris asked me to witness to them. The best I could do is to say that "Christianity is Jewish" during the reception snack. I didn't get an opportunity where I would ask "Who's the most popular Jew in human history?"

We didn't stay for the after service banquet/dinner. I was curious, but we were kind of tired. We arrived on time by 4:30pm and left at around 7pm, right after the ceremony.

Something worth noting:

  1. I was first greeted by Michael, the groom, who introduced himself and showed me how to wear the yamulke. Nice fella.
  2. They played Canon in D during the progression, but for the bridal entrace, it's a popular romantic music that's quite familiar to me but I don't know the name (it goes...mi mi mi, re. mi fa' mi mi mi...) instead of Mendelssohn's march. And of course, Wagner's not used at all.
  3. The bride and her family marched around the groom under the huppah 7 times.
  4. Breaking of the glass signify the exile and the destruction of the Jerusalem temple. It would appear that they do not recognize the nation of Israel as the dispensationalists would.
  5. The rabbi mentioned that the couple were two halves of one that found each other, attributing it to Kabbalah. Sounds more like Plato's soulmate theory and I am not sure if Plato stole this idea from the Jews. You can stretch it to Adam's rib, but saying two halves is closer to the Greek mythos than to scripture.

I do wish I could stay to check out the banquet, but Nadia and I was rather tired and I ate enough during the pre-ceremonial reception, good food (sushi - which I didn't try due to long line, some grilled chicken, couscous, steak, etc.). Something I have not seen in any other weddings I've been. I like this one, feed the guests first. Very considerate!

The Messiah's Reformed Fellowship

Posted on April 5, 2019 by timlyg

First of all, this marks the end of my NYC church search. I've seen enough churches here in the city and there's no need to look any further. I've rated all of them and given careful analysis.

Thus far, in the city, MeRF is the best. From doctrinal stand point, as well as fellowship-wise. It's located on 45th street, by 9th Ave. Renting an Adventist's church space.

Its denomination is United Reformed Churches in North America (URCNA), which aligns pretty close to OPC.

The size is about 40-50. Two sessions for Sunday Services: Catechism at 10:30AM & Main service at 11:30AM. In the middle of the service (at least the main service), there's a welcoming everyone moment. More enthusiastic and longer than Redeemer's. It's ok, I'm not particularly fond of this practice, because first, you don't get enough time to know someone, secondly, it's kind of distracting.

Bible Study is on Thursdays (One Thursday of the month is replaced with Prayer Meeting). We did Hebrews and now we're doing Psalms. It's great, very reformed, conservative, if led by Pastor Paul Murphy. However, he sometimes sub it out to others. That's not a problem if it's done well, instead of just doing it for the sake of subbing, which is the case. The substitutes don't really come to the Bible study. Ritchie does well, since he's a seminary student, one can tell he cares about what he's trying to teach, though it's not as interactive as Pastor Murphy's, which is essential when this is a fellowship. And yes, I treat this as a fellowship while they might not because they would probably treat after service small talks as fellowship instead. But I think in the end, when people started to talk and jump in to initiate discussions, Ritchie was willing to throw away his lecture notes and engage the conversation. Kelvin on the other hand, threw in lots of verses from everywhere in the Bible like a concordance and that's about it. The other thing is it used to be announced who's going to lead the study but it wasn't so yesterday. I could let the last day announcement of Thursday Bible Study slide, but when it's like Redeemer, where we can't be sure or even are led to believe someone else is leading, then it's a bit disappointing. Good thing about Kelvin is his fundamental stands, which is good to some extend, given the state of today's liberal theology. But I may not return if it's him.

MeRF definitely has more connections to people in the Reformed circle than I've seen compared to other churches. By connection I include "practicing themselves", not just knowing people like in CCCNY. Eric walked with Cornelius Van Til (CVT), there's a student of WTS, there's no shying away from reformed doctrine discussions, etc.

So in the end, this taught me one thing about deciding to attend a fellowship/Bible study. There are 3 types, which are dependent on the wise use of God given time, and the attitude and preparation of the leader:

  1. Very rare, very good, the must-attend type. (The ones led by Pak Tong, etc.)
  2. Medium rare, so so, if I got time, nothing to do, I'll attend. (MeRF, etc.)
  3. Most popular, but a waste of time, going a bar is may actually be a better choice. (CCCNY, etc.)

Now that I've found Grace OPC in New Jersey where we've moved, MeRF may just become the church we would go if we're in the city.

The Art of Management

Posted on April 1, 2019 by timlyg

想好了，there's no need to protect these entries. 就这样写。

NYGC 学校的总管离开了。被辞。由我代理。已过了 1 week.

I have never dreamed of becoming a boss or a manager. It is indeed a humbling experience and a challenge.

I was reminded when I first took on the role of teaching Sunday School on Long Island, when the former one fled due to relationship trouble.

管人不容易。Ted failed due to pride, Ping failed due to incompetence. Thanks to Ping, the only way to recover this sinking ship is a miracle. A miracle from God.

Many lawyers Became Pastors, a noble transition?

Posted on March 25, 2019 by timlyg

"Many lawyers became preachers" So said Gary, a member of Grace OPC. The pastor was his attorney once and he's been coming to this church for 3-4 years since.

From lawyers to pastors/preachers, such as John Calvin, a noble transition indeed, if the transition is genuine.
