MS Outlook - deleting calendar invites

cyclonova — Fri, 25 Nov 2022 18:20:58 +0800

Hi everyone

Would appreciate if anyone could shed light on this for Microsoft Outlook.

I would like to remove myself from a Teams meeting invite list. I am not the organizer, and would like to have myself removed from the invite list without notifying the organizer. The meeting will still carry on without me. Do I just right click on the meeting entry on Calendar and click Delete?

Any help would be much appreciated!

Thanks

Apologies for the noob question.

Thanks!

Sharing a monitor between a Windows PC and Macbook

cyclonova — Wed, 03 Jun 2020 17:19:39 +0800

Hello all

First off, apologies for coming off like a noob (which I am). All advice welcome!

I have a Dell laptop (2x USB Type C) and Macbook Pro 2015 (2x Thunderbolt).

I'm thinking of sharing a Dell monitor (https://multimonitorcomputer.com/solved/images/dell-U2414H-displayport.jpg), a keyboard and a mouse between these two units without having to plug them in and out and risking damaging the ports.

I've been told I should be looking at docking stations or KVM switches and am pretty much clueless.

Appreciate your help and recommendations!

Loan agreement - late

cyclonova — Sat, 19 Nov 2016 12:26:57 +0800

Hi guys. Noob here.

I've signed my S&P in 2014, and the property is now ready. I've just collected my keys.

However, I still haven't received my loan facility agreement yet although I've already signed it with the lawyers about the same time as signing the S&P. In terms of the mortgage, the only thing I have is the Loan Offer letter.

Is this common, or should I be chasing the lawyer for this?

thanks!!

Leather shoes to protect knees?

cyclonova — Tue, 24 Nov 2009 06:38:59 +0800

Hey guys

I'm starting to feel a little discomfort in my knees and I suspect that it's got something to do with my work shoes which have relatively hard soles. Is there a brand or a line of shoes out there which has some sort of a cushioned sole to limit damages to knees while walking in them?

Cheers guys

Early morning awakening

cyclonova — Fri, 15 May 2009 07:32:23 +0800

Hi all,

Lately I've been experiencing early morning awakenings, that is waking up at 5-6 in the morning and unable to go back to sleep after that. I don't have insomnia since falling asleep is not a problem for me. It's the getting back to sleep after I wake up in the middle of the night. I just toss and turn in bed feeling very restless.

Is there any non-medication cure? Or any non-harmful supplements I could take?

High heartbeat

cyclonova — Tue, 17 Mar 2009 05:30:22 +0800

Hey guys

My girlfriend is not active sports-wise and she's only started exercising occasionally at the gym.
Her normal heartbeat is 116bpm, while brisk-walking (at 5km/h) is 128. Jogging at 7.5km/h for around 10 minutes would push it up to 180.
I'd like to help her find out if this is still considered normal, and are there any remedies to lowering a heart beat? (e.g. change of lifestyle suggestions etc.)
Would it be dangerous for her to continue jogging on the treadmill like this? Or is it dangerous and would it cause any future risk to her?

All your suggestions are very much appreciated guys, as I'm very concerned about this. Thanks!

ICAS qualification

cyclonova — Wed, 08 Oct 2008 20:22:29 +0800

Hi all

The firm that I've applied to has given me a graduate job offer and the graduate training scheme that it provides would require me to sit for the CA qualification provided by Institute of Chartered Accountants of Scotland (ICAS).

Of course, my biggest concern is whether obtaining an ICAS qualification would hinder my career prospects in Asia (more specifically Malaysia, Singapore and HK) as compared to those holding ICAEW and ACCA qualifications because the latter 2 are so much more popular within this region. I need to know whether there is any difference in terms of future job opportunities, salary, recognition etc.

Thanks guys for your help. Greatly appreciated! Sorry for the newbie approach!
