First I started using
Google search engine (web, images, groups, etc), then I was invited to join
Orkut and accepted. Some days ago, I received a
GMail invitation and I am currently in. Am I already one more googleman? Or Am I missing any Google invitation I am not acquainted of?
Michael Santovec, in reply to my
usenet post regarding to "Free Outlook Express plugin for reading RSS feeds", introduced me to
FreePOPs.
I am actually not using it to read RSS feeds, since it involves configuring one email account for each feed. What I am really using FreePOPs for is to read my Yahoo! and GMail inboxes and it ROCKS!
I am out of blogsphere for a while, just because intraVnews is not free for personal use anymore and I have not found any FREE RSS reader plugin for Microsoft Outlook and Outlook Express. If you know of any, drop me a line and let me know.
Just finished to install Mozilla Thunderbird, it has built in RSS reader, but found no way of importing/exporting my OPML file.
Today, I have been forced to download Mozilla Thunderbird and give it a try just because it has built in RSS Reader and both Outlook and Outlook Express have not.
Visual Basic 6 has the Hex function, but no Bin or Oct, so I wrote the silly functions bellow, just to have a bit of fun.
Option Explicit
Public Function Bin(ByVal lngNumber As Long) As String
Do While lngNumber > 0
Bin = (lngNumber Mod 2) & Bin
lngNumber = lngNumber \ 2
Loop
If (Len(Bin) Mod 8) <> 0 Then
Bin = String$(8 - (Len(Bin) Mod 8), "0") & Bin
End If
End Function
Public Function Oct(ByVal lngNumber As Long) As String
Do While lngNumber > 0
Oct = (lngNumber Mod 8) & Oct
lngNumber = lngNumber \ 8
Loop
If (Len(Oct) Mod 4) <> 0 Then
Oct = String$(4 - (Len(Oct) Mod 4), "0") & Oct
End If
End Function
