Rules for Keeping Your Boss Happy and You Closer To Promotion

Ukion — Wed, 02 May 2012 13:56:44 +0000

Here is how this works. With using these roles on daily basics with your boss you will prove yourself as hard and loyal worker worth for promotions.

1. Be true to your word.
Whenever you accept an assignment, follow through religiously, even fanatically. Boss wants to trust you. Never overcommit, and avoid hedging your bets with vague statements like “I’ll try” and “maybe.” Instead, make your word carry real weight.

2. No surprises.
Employees sometimes are screwing up but are not saying anything about it. So even if you’re afraid some bad news might upset your boss, make sure he’s informed. Note: If your boss consistently “shoots the messenger,” ignore this rule.

3. Be prepared on the details.
Whenever you’re meeting with the boss, have the details ready so you can answer these queries with grace and aplomb. Your boss wants to believe you’re competent and on top of things.

4. Take your job seriously.
Bosses need people who have unique expertise. You don’t have to be a pro at everything, but you should definitely have a specific area of knowledge that your boss values. Bosses appreciate individuals who truly care about what they do and willing to take the time to achieve a deep understanding of their craft.

5. Have your boss’s back.
When you see your boss about to make a foolish decision, it’s your responsibility to attempt to convince him to make a different one. Make your best case, and express yourself clearly. Once the decision is actually made, do your best to make it work–regardless of whether you think it was the right one.

6. Provide solutions, not complaints.
Nothing is more irritating or more boring than listening to somebody kvetch about things that they’re not willing to change. So never bring up a problem unless you’ve got a solution to propose–or are willing to take the advice the boss gives you. Complainers are the bane of your boss’s existence.

7. Communicate in plain language.
When dealing with your boss, speak and write in short sentences, use the fewest words possible to make a point, and make that point clear and easily understandable. Bosses are busy people.

8. Know your real job.
Your real job is to make your boss successful. There are no exceptions to this rule. Your boss’s real job is to make you more successful. The reversal of these priorities is the source of almost all organizational problems. Regardless of what it says on your job description keep boss happy.

Good Luck!

Air Playit – Free Streaming Movie to iPhone with WiFi, 3G, 4G

Ukion — Wed, 18 Apr 2012 13:40:23 +0000

Every time when you want to transfer a movie from the computer to iPhone, there are two things we should take into consideration: the Space and the Format. It’s OK to put one or two movies to iPad 32GB. But what if it happens on an iPhone 8GB? As to the movie format, you use Handbrake to convert it to MP4 or other format that Apple can support, and then sync to the iPhone. Actually, I want to say the format conversion and movie transfer are painful.

Apple fans may be familiar with Air Video because this video streaming app helps them avoid the above two problems. But it costs us 3 bucks. So when talking about video streaming app, there should be something alternative – something free and powerful in the field of video streaming.

Air Playit, (released by Digiarty Software, Inc.) by far is the most useful free app that makes your video streaming to iPhone, iPad, iPod relatively easy among all other streaming alternatives.

With the help of Wi-Fi, 3G/4G network capability of your iPhone, Air Playit enables you stream all the movie you stored on your PC or Mac to your iPhone, iPad, iPod without lengthy format pre-conversion and sync.

How to Stream Movie to iPhone with Air Playit?
Before you start the movie streaming, please make sure you have installed the Air Playit Server on your PC/Mac and the App Client on your device so that the client can interact with your server in a smooth way.

About the Air Playit Server:
There are six buttons to specify your own server: Information, Permission, Shared Folder, Conversion, Web and Setting.
Movies and videos that are added on the Shared Folder can be streamed to the app client. And make sure every time when you stream video to iPhone, the Air Playit server is in running condition.

About the Air Playit Client:
Run the client on your device. The app client can automatically detect the network by Bonjour Server and interact with the Air Playit server with local/remote Wi-Fi, 3G/3G network. Then you can browse the folder in the client and play the video that you like.

Other Key Features about the Air Playit:
1. Air Playit provides you with another option to manually add the Port and IP.
2. It supports videos in the formats like AVI, FLV, MKV, M2TS, AVCHD, etc. If you want to download it to your iPhone for playback when there’s no network connection, you can add these videos into offline conversion task on iDevice or server.
3. Cache all music files to the Download Library for easy playback on iPad, iPhone.
4. Automatically list the recent played videos and remember the last play point for each video.
5. Supports Apple TV-Out. Stream your video to home TV via iPhone, iPad.

10 Ways to Make Your Work Fun

Ukion — Tue, 28 Feb 2012 10:57:02 +0000

How often when you go at home after work you said, “I have wonderful time today at work”? Not so offen, sad, isn’t it?
It doesn’t have to be that way. We know how to have interesting time on the job. Everyone is happier and more productive on that way.

Unfortunately some of managers and leaders have different opinion about this. However, the real truth is: When people are not having fun, they’re tense. In order to be more creative at your work, we found 10 ideas collected from different places over the internet, mostly from Blinds.com. Here they are:

Have a “decorate your area” contest. Give each employee a nominal decorating allowance and challenge each employee to decorate on a theme, on working desk or working department.
Use color to brighten your office space. Paint is cheap—and cheery.
Hang movie posters on your walls, with employees’ faces replacing those of the real movie stars. This is also powerful motivator.
Celebrate holidays with small/big parties.
Celebrate success with dessert, drinks, food or dinner with successful team.
Have silly dress-up days: Halloween, Super Bowl, New Year Day….
Smile. When you, as the leader, are in a bad mood, everyone is in a bad mood. Learn to be happy and be happy in front of your team.
Put games in the break room or lunchroom. Put ping-pong table to the office. Set up a chess set for a continuing game. Backgammon….
Invite your employees dance and sing – it is hard these to be accomplish but will bring a lot of positive energy.
Photograph the office and make a slideshow of the resulting photos. Display it in your reception area or lunchroom.

The road to success is paved with fun. Use this powerful motivator.

Fix Thunderbird SMTP Gmail timeout problem

Viktor Ustijanoski — Thu, 12 Jan 2012 19:27:46 +0000

For a few months, I have trouble with sending outgoing email via Thunderbird. Previously I was using the default settings for Gmail IMAP and SMTP (port 993 for IMAP and port 465 for SMTP SSL).

A few months ago, everything stops working and I cannot send email with Thunderbird anymore. Little googling and I found several reasons for that.

My firewall is blocking Thunderbird – check – that was not my problem
My antivirus software is blocking it – I use Avast, but check – that was not my problem also.
Your ISP were blocking your SMTP port – (465 or 587) If you have similar problem, check this also, I contact my ISP just to be sure and everything was ok. But there are some ISP’s that are blocking these ports.
Upgrade Thunderbird to a new version – updated to latest and still stuck with SMTP timeout
SMTP server port is incorrect – It was good earlier, but ok, I change that into 587 STARTTLS – but SMTP timeout problem still occurs.
Problem with add-ons. First I try to disable them, then, after problem stays – I remove all addons and still nothing.
Your password is broken – I try to reset it, and enter new password but again – error.
Finally, I discovered what my problem was. What was it? An old stuck message into my Gmail account. I logged into my account – from my browser, found that old bitch stucked unread message and delete it immediately.
Back to Thunderbird. I was skeptic that now will work. Restart it and try to send some emails – everything works like a charm. That’s it. A stuck old message made me a lot of problems more than a 2 months.

So, if you have similar problem, go through my steps to find a solution before doing anything else more complexly.

How to motivate people?

Ukion — Fri, 18 Nov 2011 11:00:15 +0000

Robert Sapolski, professor at university of Stanford, on video below presents the study which was made in the beginning of this year. Actually, he found that the capacity of dopamine in the human brain is the biggest in the moment when people expect something to be given to them (bonus, additional payment, prize, etc). Dopamine is known also as hormone for happiness.

It is very interesting that humans are only mammals on this planet which could expect for whole life some prize which will be given in “another” world, after-life or something.

Please check this video, maybe you can find useful this method in your company to motivate your people.
