Converting Address Book to CSV
Don't even have to export.

The absolutely easiest way to make CSV file from Address Book on Mac is not explained in many sites ... but I figured it out.

Open Address Book and select names (you can select all as well).
Drag and drop this names in Mac Numbers.
It will turn the list into spreadsheet format.
The use Numbers to export them to CSV or EXCEL.

This is super simple and if you are a Mac user, Numbers is a free app.

Low Salt and Potassium Diet

Nov

22

Brawn Rice and Steak and salad with Balsamic.

I am more concerned with salt and potassium intake than carbohydrates. I should not be eating a lot of protein either ... If you try to cut salt, potassium and protein for your kidney and cut down on your carbohydrates and sugar for your diabetes, there is not left for you to eat.

I had a Little Salad with Balsamic Vinegar as well.

I cannot think of better low salt meal than steak (no seasoning) with brown rice. I used balsamic and sriracha. It is very difficult to reduce salt intake when you eat out.

$3,000 Apple Mac Mini ... Are you kidding?

Nov

16

Apple is out of touch ... their pricing is completely idiotic. Don't get m wrong, I am a diehard Apple user. But the way it is going, they need to get their reality checked.

For instance, Apple wants to paid $1,400 to upgrade their 256G SSD to 2TB. You can get SAMSUNG 860 EVO Series 2.5" 2TB SATA III at Newegg for less than $300. This is just insane.

Customer Feedback Program

Nov

15

PSPinc has created a customer relationship and employee collaboration system for small businesses called Pilot SBT. SBT stands for Small Business Tool. It is designed to provide everything a small businesses needs to keep track of communication with their customers. This tool is free for all PSPinc’s hosting customers.

In addition to the basic functions of Pilot SBT, we are planning to release many apps that help small businesses. The first app that we are releasing is the customer feedback program.

When you provide a service or customer support in the field, by telephone or even online - this program provides your staff the ability to send an email link to the customer asking them to evaluate the service that you provided. This simple form will take less than a minute to complete and provides your customer with a method to let you know how you did.

Customers can give their experience a good or bad rating. When you receive a bad rating, you immediately know what went wrong. This service is one of the most effective ways for you to keep in touch with your customers and encourage your staff to provide their best effort. We can customize the feedback form to suit your company's needs. All feedback will be recorded within that customer's section of Pilot SBT for your review and delivered to the necessary stakeholders via email.

If you are interested in using this feedback system, please let me know. We will wave the initial setup fee and have you online within a day. For more information, please contact me.

New Plane

One of the reasons I booed on Asiana was to fly Airbus A350. The plane I took from Seattle was 777. Good airplane but I was little disappointed. But I finally was able to fly A350 today. It is only between Kansai and Inchon, 535 mile. I am happy.

I heard many airlines are retiring 777 and purchasing 350. BOEING needs to upgrade aging 777.
