Crystal vs Glass
It took a while to discover how to make "clear" glass. Adding MnO to glass quenched the optical transitions in dissolved Fe ions to make the clear glass. The Venetians called this "cristallo" by analogy to earlier transparent objects hogged out of large single quartz crystals. This is why the English use the inaccurate term "crystal" to describe fine glassware.

outlook advanced search
wednesday, 3 october, 2007 12:05 MAT
i am forced to use microsoft outlook for email at work. i really don't like it very much at all, problie like many people on the planet.
in an attempt to keep myself organised, i file the emails in folders according to what it's about (emails from students, emails from other lecturers, the school of computing sciences, the learning & teaching grant team, the general university, etc). sometimes i forget where i have filed a particular email, so i have used the search function to find it.
that works, most of the time, but i noticed that it would find the email and i could open it, but it would never tell me the location of the email. so, if i needed to find it again, i would have to do the search all over again. that annoyed me.
the other thing that annoyed me was that the search results displayed in the same window. if i needed to navigate away from the search results because a different email arrived and I needed to deal with it immediately (like I clicked on the inbox or something), the search results would vanish and be replaced by the selection and I would have to do the search all over again.
one of the techies here showed me the advanced search.
one of the columns in the advanced search results says what folder the email is located in.
the search results also open in a separate window. i find this particularly convenient because I can see everything else and navigate away from the search results and have the search results if i need them later and don't have to do the search all over again.
advanced search is the go ! thanks aaron !
