March 2nd, 2010

If you are like me who downloads his email to either Outlook Express or MS Outlook and when using webmail on a different computer you are sometimes at a loss as you do not have any emails in your sent folder and even other folders which you might have created on Outlook then i have a simple solution for you.

This a common issue and a very simple one to solve, to get your sent folder in Outlook in sync with your sent folder on Webmail you need to setup your email account on Outlook as IMAP and not as POP3, the rest of the setting would remain the same. Only IMAP has the ability to sync other folders apart from just Inbox.

Speed up your Blog, reduce your Server Load with WP-Cache

March 1st, 2010

According to me WordPress is one of the best things to happen to the Internet, it has enabled millions of people to express their thoughts online without having to worry about programming / web design etc but as your WordPress blog grows, you might experience a little slowness or a delay from the server, this is because if you have thousands of people visiting your blog everyday, each time your page is rendered for the visitor, this would slow down your blog and even cause temporary outage if your are on shared hosting.

But since you are working on WordPress and it being the God of all Blog softwares, there are various solutions available to this problem. You can install a Plugin called WP-Cache which will cache your dynamic pages and render from from cache, instead of calling them from the database. This will significantly reduce your server load and speed up your website performance.

PayPal RBI Finally come to a Truce

February 27th, 2010

Below is the mail i got today from PayPal… They have finally resolved the payment issue with RBI but what worries me is the Export Code, does this mean that only Exporters can transact online via PayPal? There are thousands of Individuals who do not have an Export code… what happens to them? Will they manipulate the system by entering any random export code in the PayPal form?
———-
We have been diligently working with the RBI and our business partners to resume Indian bank withdrawals for the thousands of Indian businesses who depend on PayPal to sell their goods or services in the global marketplace.

Today, we are happy to announce that the RBI has allowed us to continue local bank withdrawals for settlements for exports of goods and services. We are currently making changes to comply with Indian regulations for settlements for exports of goods and services, and we anticipate that, as of Wednesday, March 3rd, customers will be able to use our bank withdrawal service.

As part of the changes, you will be required to fill out a new field entitled ‘Export Code’ when you request a withdrawal. This information is required under the current laws of India in order to identify the nature of cross-border merchant transactions.

On Monday, March 1st, we will be back in touch with specific instructions on how you can move your money into your bank account.

Moving forward, the RBI has told us that PayPal needs specific approvals to allow personal remittances to India, which we currently do not have. Until we get these approvals, personal payments into India will remain suspended. However, if you are an exporter, you will continue to be able to use the PayPal service for payments of goods and services. In fact, with the changes we are making to our system, PayPal is now set to be a more powerful engine for exporters in India. With purpose codes for export transactions and FIRCs (Foreign Inward Remittance Certificates), you should now be able to get the export related benefits you seek.
