Rainlendar Lite

Rainlendar is a customizable calendar that displays the current month.
Rainlendar Lite is a very lightweight application that doesn't use much system resources or take much space on your desktop.

Rainlendar is a feature rich calendar application that is easy to use and doesn't take much space on your desktop. The appearance can be customized with skins and you can even mix different skins together.

It is possible to use Rainlendar with other calendar applications too. Rainlendar uses the standard iCalendar format to store its events and tasks so you can easily transfer them between applications. You can also subscribe to online calendars and see your Outlook appointments directly in Rainlendar.

Rainlendar is an unicode application and support localization so you can use it on your own language.

All the coming events are shown in a separate list where you can see the week's events at one glance. You can decide how many days in advance you want to see in the list. Different events can have a different appearance in the list so you can easily spot the important events from the others. The icons in the calendar are also available in the event list and other windows to make it easier to separate the events.

You can also have a separate list for your long term tasks. The task list can be arranged several ways so that you can keep it better organized. You can also set a due date for the tasks to make sure you'll remember to do them on time.

You'll also get an alarm when an event or task is due so that you don't miss it. The alarm can be defined to be set off any duration before the actual event so you have time to prepare for it.

And that's not all. Check the list of features for better overview of all the things Rainlendar can do. If you find it useful go to the download page and get yourself a copy.

Mozilla Sunbird

Here is the release note from the publisher

Mozilla Sunbird is a redevelopment of the Mozilla Calendar extension. Our goal is to produce a cross platform standalone calendar application based on Mozilla's XUL user interface language. At the moment the "Sunbird" name is a project name. It is not official and may change in the future.

Our intended user is someone who uses Mozilla Firefox (or another browser) as his browser, Mozilla Thunderbird (or another mail client) as his mail client and wants a calendar application based on Mozilla.

In addition, by focusing solely on standalone calendar, we believe we can make some dents in the overall footprint and performance of the calendar application by removing components and chrome we don't need.

At the moment Sunbird is in an experimental stage. Although it is quite stable, we recommend it for testing purposes only.

Divide, Combine and Join Cell Content in Excel

How to separate/divide content of one cell into multiple cells in Excel? The easiest way is using Text to Columns tool. In Office 2003 you can access Text to Columns from Data menu. In Office 2007, Text to Column is located in Data tab. Text to column is useful when you want to convert or display file format like .csv into table or just separate/divide content of cells.

For example, we have data like this

Full NameFirst NameLast Name
Barack Obama
Michael Bolton
John Outlook
Cameron Diaz
Diego Maradona

To separate values in all columns, here are the steps:


  1. Select all cells contain data you want to divide
  2. Go to Data - Text to Columns…
  3. Choose Delimited or Fixed Width depends on your data. In this case, we use Delimited. Next.
  4. Check on Space and leave the others delimiters blank. If the data contains three words, it will be separated into three columns. You may choose other delimiter, also depends on your data. Next.
  5. Choose the data format of separated data should be. Leave the destination by default if you want the new separated contents overwrite your original data or define new destination. Finish.

Here is the result:


Full NameFirst NameLast Name
Barack ObamaBarackObama
Michael BoltonMichaelBolton
John OutlookJohnOutlook
Cameron DiazCameronDiaz
Diego MaradonaDiegoMaradona

Next, how to join or combine contents of two cells or more into one cell?

To join or combine contents, Excel has a formula that is CONCATENATE. Concatenate is used to join several text strings into one text string. For example, we would like to rejoin the data we’ve separated on explanation above, type a formula:

=CONCATENATE([cell reference];" ";[cell reference])

Cell reference means reference of the cell you want to join. Note that you also need to add a space between two quotations so you’ll get spaced results.

Remarks: Instead of using Concatenate, the “&” operator can be used to join text items, and the formula would be:

=[cell reference]&" "&[cell reference]

example:

=A1&" "&B1 

The two formulas above will give same result.
