my 2 cents on the world

I’m proud to be a part of the team that worked on launching the Buy Young campaign spurring young Americans to take up more initiative, become more entrepreneurial and play a part in steering America in the right direction.
IVR Tech has made some news and also got a mention on the White House blog. We even got a letter from the White House congratulating our efforts and all this has only spurred us to do bigger and better things!

Very very interesting read. An article how about how people these days use information and graphics together to display information to the user which stands by itself.
Some of the things I see these days makes me wonder, how did they do it and will I ever catch up!!!!! Happy reading folks.
Peace.
Gives you a perspective…. I’ll leave it at that and let you find your perspective.
I usually run into situations at work where I need to clean a CSV file having phone numbers. Doing a quick Google search does not help because most people out there want the exact opposite.
Let me give you an example.
What most people want:
Input:
1234567890
Output:
123-456-7890 (or) (123) 456 780 (or) 123 456 7890
What I people want:
Input:
123-456-7890 (or) (123) 456 780 (or) 123 456 7890 (or) 123*456*789
Output:
1234567890
Doing a slow and careful Google search led me to this beautiful piece of code. Just select the region which you want cleaned and run the following macro. It will save you a lot of time. Also feel free to modify it to your needs.
Sub replace oCurrentSelection = ThisComponent.CurrentSelection xReplaceDesc = oCurrentSelection.createReplaceDescriptor() xReplaceDesc.SearchRegularExpression = TRUE xReplaceDesc.SearchString = "[- *.]" xReplaceDesc.ReplaceString = "" oCurrentSelection.replaceAll( xReplaceDesc ) End Sub
Have fun!

Greetings folks!
Welcome to the blog. I had it redesigned today!
Initially I had used a predefined template to create the site. I later installed WordPress for my blogging needs.
I found out that it is hard to make my custom static pages match the WordPress themes. I also figured that if I did match it and later changed my WordPress theme, I would have to edit my custom templates again and again.
So I revamped the whole site. WordPress runs the site now! All static content created with WordPress, so if I do change the theme, all changes will get reflected on all pages.
Please leave your suggestions and comments on how the site is now and how it can be improved in the future.
