I posted a really long time.

The WEB able to take place early this year been several development projects.

, And another is now nearly full-time 手Gake WEB site has become very busy with projects there And all things, that it is really hard work of his own work in there after a disaster, so busy Since I did not experience when I was working in Japan a few years ago, was hard getting used to.

As mentioned before, eight-hour endeavor to remember the article. I hope they keep it as an ideal summer Good luck Right now we are reduced to enjoy the job.

Yesterday's article , and I just wrote down the first time since last fall that the unemployment rate in Canada, the country seems to US neighbor had also raised the unemployment rate does.

US Bureau of Labor Statistics said the unemployment rate was 10.2 percent in October, mark the record since 1983.

I 10.2%, more than one in 10 will be out of a job. In addition, people and surpassing this figure in part-time job anyway EI (unemployment benefits) have been receiving from people not included, that really need their jobs more be.

Since the U.S. economy still led the world in this global recession, but somehow they did not become this country's economy may not be revived. Looking forward to what the upside is that the U.S. economy.

October 9 is the report by Statistics Canada, the unemployment rate kept rising after the Lehman shock from the fall of 2008, finally dropped.

8.7% peak in August (Canada), 7.8% (BC) is the unemployment rate has gone up in September, it was 8.4%, respectively, seems down to 7.4%.

In particular, we not only reduced the number, I say a large increase in full-time job part-time work decreased. Increase in the number of full-time since 2006, we expect that the economy will recover towards the future like this.

Previous article in, Gmail has written a how to manage all email accounts for work for a private.

In this way, private email accounts for all the work for Gmail is now the WEB management interface, Gmail does not set only one signature, the signature is inserted in one of every email would have been. Can not switch by each account.

For example, when creating a work email is the ability to add features like automatically put end to make it sign written information in advance of the company. But e-mail to send to a friend I will sign such 入Retakunai square.

Thunderbird or Outlook, OutlookExpress the signing by e-mail address to set a standard for each client as if the basic functionality that is sure why this is not my Gmail.

So I found a way to get it here instead.

Gmail plug-in which an additional feature, "Labs" is that you. Here is "boilerplate response (Canned Response)" well used.

· Gmail Login

- Right on the "Settings" Click, "Labs" Click

- "Canned reply" to enable the buttons below the screen to save your changes.

- "Create Mail" describes the taste as the sign in the message body.

- "Canned reply" to "Save" under the "Creating a boilerplate reply ...", select your choice and save.

- When writing an email, where you want to insert signature "boilerplate response," the "Insert" is selected

This will allow you to insert your favorite e-mail signature that you created in advance.

Gmail is the best and will support multiple signatures, but until then I feel this way once you get used inconvenience. Please try.

Three e-mail address for your company, e-mail address of the company are working as businessmen, and personal e-mail address and your main email address is now five.

Previously Becky! Or Thunderbird mail client that was using, such client must be installed on the PC is coming out inconvenient used in such cases where the go and travel.

So now I use a Gmail.

In addition to the main Gmail @ gmail.com email accounts, POP3 accounts can be added. WEB client using your Gmail that allows you to manage all email accounts in use. Even if the Internet anywhere, even if it for personal business, you can check all mail.

Here are the steps to add Gmail to POP accounts.

· Gmail Login

- Right on the "Settings", click "Import Account" click

· "POP3 messages using check" for "POP3 mail accounts adding" click

Enter your email address in the window - another "next step" Click

· POP3 server, and make various settings such as passwords

• The settings for sending "next step" Click

* For sending "Name" "Address" set

- "Send Verification" Click

Just add a minute and repeat the above email address. Account Settings screen in the "incoming message" is "received an email reply address," I think it is set.

Above set is finished. All email addresses are now happily on the WEB with Google can only manage interface.

People have their own domain, mail server even more things you can use Google. In this case, the domain cost (about $ 09 per year) just take, royalty free server. This setting is how I will write some other time.

Incidentally, Gmail is a long time (at least 5 years), but the show was being beta, I noticed recently that the beta out of view.

I checked the following to the Google Apps Beta removed from display.

Gmail
Google Docs
Google Calendar
Google Talk

I had also used when there is no problem viewing 問題Rashiki beta, I'd think you were more reliable to use.

90% or more development projects will be commissioned on a Web server running Linux, so applications built for Linux development server purchase.

Linux is a distribution of previously Redhad / Fedora I was using a well recently because many chances to use Debian, Debian was selected.

Linux was the first time touched a student went to school software. Red Hat Put your PC to version 4, was struggling to remember to use. In the end, and then install it, X Window System to connect to the internet will work, I think it took about a month. For learning for Windows C / C + + I bought a few thousand yen over the language compiler, Linux is the fact that I miss the time I was moved by the compiler available for free in many languages.

Today was overwhelming compared to Linux server is now easier to build. Basic installation CD and boot installation, network configuration, various server applications, I finished in less than 30 minutes to install and configure the various development tools. (Because it has not put X server use.)

Server in the world of Linux has established itself, but unfortunately the world is still the desktop. Myself at home means that you are using on Windows Vista, the office applications from Microsoft Office is really a need to use.

Open Office a little MS Office will start to be used as (a user or MS Office away from Open Office, Google Docs, so if you choose), Linux comes up even position in the desktop market I might. If so minute Windows and MS Office licensing fees (a few hundred dollars) PC I will be economical to buy cheap.

12 years and is predicted to be engaged in software development. About six years in Japan, home (neat half-w) 2 years, 4 years in Canada.

3 years 4 years I would say that Canada is actually one year since Japanese companies. May be found in many a year.

First and foremost difference is the character code. The Japanese code JIS / SHIFT-JIS / EUC, the Japanese code can be used in other Japanese UTF-8/UTF-16 not, when developing the software must do to handle these . Recently, the UTF-8 is now much easier thanks to the old days, JIS / SHIFT-JIS / EUC was struggling with the encoding of each well.

Also, if you use the latest version of open source software such as for example, need to wait for the Japanese because they do not support (or shall have their own support) that there are many also.

But here at all, so do not have to worry about character encoding is very easy. Just use the latest version of the software immediately.

Skill level software developers, we think no more on the Japanese. Every time I see enough of his wits programmers who write code here, or rather poor coding, and really professional education? Many people here in what is (actually only those people or to BCIT and UBC majoring in software or w. Or do some managers in the company's largest cell phone w). What a great Chinese people and those with people occasionally Dattari India. Of course there are some people that I really, I think that is the same everywhere. Is the overall level of story.

The software is not in position to take on Japan, but now that I think a recent issue of the language. For example, in cars and appliances, SONY · Panasonic Toyota · Honda and have a big name for the global and the software is nil. Overcoming language barriers in the near future, I hope the birth of a de facto standard software from Japan.

People are not interested so I'm sorry to talk a little technical.

When developing Windows PC software, Windows comes with Notepad (Notepad) requires sophisticated text editor does so completely fallen short of removing.

UNIX was born, so I usually Cygwin (Windows environment running on UNIX) to use the VIM text editor is a software developer that we Go用, and when his client went to the PC is used can not be installed in trouble without permission.

Recent favorite software Notepad + + . Notepad + + is a powerful text editor for developers, so you can use free software download for free. And it is handy to use a USB devil and carry around when I went into the client.
