  1. Enable POP in Gmail. Don’t forget to click Save Changes when you’re done.
  2. Configure your client to match the settings below:
    3. Incoming Mail (POP3) Server – requires SSL:  pop.gmail.com
    Use SSL: Yes
    Port: 995
    Outgoing Mail (SMTP) Server – requires TLS:  smtp.gmail.com (use authentication)
    Use Authentication: Yes
    Use STARTTLS: Yes (some clients call this SSL)

    Email Address:  your email address (username@gmail.com or username@your_domain.com)
    Password:  your Gmail password

    Unless you’re using recent mode to download mail to multiple clients, make sure you’ve opted not to leave messages on the server. Your Gmail settings determine whether or not messages stay on the server, so this setting in your client won’t affect how Gmail handles your mail.

    Please note that if your client does not support SMTP authentication, you won’t be able to send mail through your client using your Gmail address.

    Also, if you’re having trouble sending mail but you’ve confirmed that encyrption is active for SMTP in your mail client, try to configure your SMTP server on a different port: 465 or 587.

Access your email online
You can access your email here: http://email.orange.co.uk

Advanced settings

Server settings
The address of the Orange POP mail server is: pop.orangehome.co.uk
The address of the Orange SMTP mail server is: smtp.orangehome.co.uk
Do not use secure password authentication to access mail

IP address
Your IP address is allocated dynamically via DHCP- you do not need to set this. We are unable to offer a static IP address.

DNS
Note:
DNS settings should be set to ‘automatically obtain’ – there are only rare instances where Orange settings should be used. For information, the first set of Orange DNS settings are for IPStream customers, the second set for LLU.

Domain name service is dynamic.

If connecting to a router, and need DNS settings for home networking, use the IP address or your router, i.e. * 192.168.1.1

If Orange domain name server (DNS) addresses are required, you should use:

195.92.195.94 and 195.92.195.95

Or, if you experience problems with the above, use:

193.36.79.101 and 193.36.79.100

Dial up FTP and HTTP proxy settings

Address:http://www-cache.orangehome.co.uk:8080
Port Number: 8080

Router settings
If you choose to use an Ethernet modem / router, the correct connection settings are:

Encapsulation:
PPP over ATM

Multiplexing method:
VC-Based

Virtual circuit:
VPI=0
VCI=38

Modulation:
Multi mode

Authentication:
CHAP
MTU (Maximum Transmission Unit)

In case of problems with a third party router, change MTU to 1492 (Livebox default setting)

Dial-up numbers
If your computer is connected to the Internet, you can get your dial-up number (and connection settings) from our account retrieval pages:

https://www.orange.co.uk/signup/reclaim/ar10.cfm

If your computer isn’t connected to the Internet, you can use an Orange CD to set-up your computer. If you have already registered, select the Retrieve Account tab and follow the links to Retrieve Your Account.

Site Builder/ FTP My Site
The address of your website can take the form:

http://mysite.orange-members.co.uk/sitename or http://sitename.mysite.orange-members.co.uk/

If you use FTP My Site the FTP server address is sitebuilder.orange.co.uk

Your username takes the form:

name@yourname.orangehome.co.uk|sitename
name@yourname.wanadoo.co.uk|sitename
name@yourname.freeserve.co.uk|sitename
name@yourname.fsnet.co.uk|sitename
name@yourname.fsbusiness.co.uk|sitename
name@yourname.fslife.co.uk|sitename
name@yourname.fsworld.co.uk|sitename

Your Password is the one you chose when registering with the My Site service.

You can register for Site Builder/ FTP My Site by visiting http://www.orange.co.uk/communicate/sitebuilder/

]]> http://www.finaldesign.co.uk/blog/search-marketing/jam-spam/email-spam-list-of-spammers.html/feed 0 BT – ‘Company of the Year’ Caught Stealing? http://www.finaldesign.co.uk/blog/general/company-of-the-year-bt-caught-stealing.html http://www.finaldesign.co.uk/blog/general/company-of-the-year-bt-caught-stealing.html#comments Wed, 05 Mar 2008 09:45:34 +0000 Omar http://www.finaldesign.co.uk/blog/general/company-of-the-year-bt-caught-stealing.html The more money you have, the easier it becomes to steal; though I use the term steal loosely. Yes, this is going to be a rant on how screwed up one of BT’s company policies is.
I work from home and don’t exactly receive a daily plethora of phone calls. Most of the time the calls that I receive are in fact cold calls. A couple of weeks ago it occurred to me that all of a sudden that I had not been receiving these pesky calls for some time and whilst I was not over the moon about it, it was non-the-less a pleasant thought. A couple of days ago I realised that it was not a stroke of luck, neither was it some ingenious BT update that was actually doing what it was supposed to be doing all along, to have me off their lists to prevent cold-callers, but in fact my BT line was all but dead. That’s right; I was off the grid so to speak because of a fault on BT’s line.

How could I have not been alerted to this earlier you may well ask; well the fact that my internet connection that runs through the same line did not have a problem with it kind of masked the problem for me. I mean, I’m not an engineer, not a telecommunications engineer anyway, and I have never worked for BT services ever, so, how would I know? Using the phone? I don’t, I only use it to receive calls.

Were they stealing my money?

I call BT support and ask them politely, all the while quietly fuming inside, what the problem is with my line. For the last month I have neither been able to receive nor make phone calls from my line for which I am paying you guys at BT. They test the line (whilst I wait on hold, hoping not to lose them as this is the third time that I have had to call!!) and come back to me informing me that the line has a fault. Really?

BT organise to have the line repaired and my calls redirected to my mobile number. They also tell me that they will refund me the cost of the line for every day AFTER the ALLOCATED repair date. Ok, not too bad though, allegedly the line will be repaired tomorrow.

What about all the calls and potential business I missed?
Tough, apparently BT keep no such record.

What about some compensation on the cost of the BT line rental for that period that I could not use the line for calls?
Tough, BT will only compensate you AFTER you report a fault and AFTER the date they allocate to fix your line.

Are you telling me it is ok to keep stealing until you get cought? Only give back what you are taking AFTER you are receiving a complaint about it?
(no response, just another “I’m terribly sorry, but…”)

What about the cost of the calls to BT to have the fault fixed (seeing as it is a freephone number, from landlines)?
Tough, you are told at the start of the call that it is chargeable and if you want to make the call for free, apparently I should have visited a neighbour!

What about the fact that, as BT proudly display on their bills, they won the ‘Company of the Year Award’?
Well, actually I didn’t ask this, I merely stated that it appeared to be a joke from my perspective.

Company of the Year?
BT, I seriously hope not. All this the day AFTER I was promised a call-back because their system was down. I guess she forgot.

This is so WE do not forget. Clever policies do not make for good business-customer relationships, only bitter ones. It is not stealing after all, my mistake, it is ‘Company Policy’.
Take care, and be warned.

UPDATE:

Are they deliberately wasting my time?

They only went and redirected the landline to the wrong mobile number! So, guess what, I’m calling AGAIN to have them rectify yet another problem caused by BT. Another tailback, an automated ringback is on offer telling me that they will callback within 45 minutes… Let’s see how they do this time.

Callback within 5 minutes direct from india and the redirect has been updated. Apparently. I’ll check in 30 minutes once BT’s super-computers update. It’s a bit like waiting for Google to come and spider your site again to list your new content, except, as soon as Google knows the content is there, it is added… hmmm… Not so super I guess.

In this post I will be taking you through how to create Actions in Photoshop; something which can save a huge amount of time and increase it’s value to you. Time to increase Photoshop’s value from £20 to £100 ;)

This tutorial is aimed at creating reflections for product images so as to increase it’s ‘bling’ factor for your customers.

BACKUP THE FILE WITH WHICH YOU WILL BE PERFORMING THIS TUTORIAL FIRST (copy and paste the file)! Just in case.

Firstly open an image for which you would like to create a nice reflection. These ’source’ images should ideally all be of the same dimensions.

If you do not already have the ‘Actions’ window open, go to your Photoshop menu and hover ‘Window’ and select ‘Actions’. This will open the Actions window.

At the top-right hand corner of the Actions window you will find (directly below the close button) a double-arrow. Click this and select ‘New Set’. This will create a folder in which you can group several actions for any given project. In this case name the ‘New Set’ You create ‘Final Design’.

Select the new Group you have created and click the same double arrow. Select and create a ‘New Action’. Name this action ‘Reflection’. Assign it a ‘Function Key’ if you like so that you can use the action later even more quickly.

Once you click ‘Record’ (found at the bottom of the ‘Actions’ window) all of your actions will be recorded and you can see these actions being recorded in the ‘Actions’ window.

Go to the menu and Create a ‘New Layer’. Call it ‘Background’.

Now fill the ‘New Layer’ (now called ‘Background’) in any background colour you require using the ‘Paint Bucket’ tool.

From your ‘Layers’ window (available in the ‘Windows’ menu) select the ‘Background’ Layer and click ‘Duplicate Layer’ From the ‘Layers’ menu. Call it ‘Image’.

Drag and Drop the ‘Image’ Layer in the ‘Layers’ window to the top so that your duplicated product image is moved to the top-most layer position.

Go to the menu and select ‘Layer’ and click ‘Transform’. Use the fields at the top of your workspace window to resize it so that you will be left with enough space below it for the reflection. I recommend 70%. Once you have chosen the size you want it at, press the ‘Return’ key on your keyboard.

Now using the ‘Move Tool’, whilst holding down the ‘Shift’ key on your keyboard, click and drag the image to the top of the canvas.

Duplicate the ‘Image’ Layer in the same way as you duplicated the ‘Background’ image earlier. Call this duplicated Layer ‘Reflection Prep’.

From the Menu, select Edit, Transform and click ‘Flip Vertical’ so that the ‘Reflection Prep’ Layer is now upside-down.

Holding the ‘Shift’ key, drag the ‘Reflection Prep’ layer so that only as much of the ‘Reflection Prep’ layer as you want to display is remaining on the canvas MINUS THE FEATHER YOU WILL SET NEXT. There should be a gap between your ‘Image’ layer and your ‘Reflection Prep’ layer; this gap indicates the distance over which you would like the fading to occur.
Select the ‘Rectangular Marquee Tool’ from the Tools Window and set the ‘Feather’ value to the number of pixels for which you would like the refletion to fade across.

Click and drag from the extreme of one corner of your image to the opposite extreme, this is to select the entire canvas area with the ‘Feathered Rectangular Marquee Tool’.
Copy the selection using the Menu under Edit, or hold down the ‘CTRL’ key and press ‘C’ once. Release the ‘CTRL’ key.

Paste the copied section by using the Menu under Edit or by holding down the ‘CTRL’ key and pressing ‘V’ once. Release the ‘CTRL’ key.

Hide the ‘Reflection Prep’ Layer and rename the newly pasted ‘Layer 1′ to ‘Reflection’.
Drag the ‘Reflection’ Layer up leaving a sliver of a gap between the product and the reflection.

Click the ‘Stop’ button at the bottom of the ‘Actions’ window (indicated by a square icon).

You’re done, though you may wish to ‘Edit’ the ‘Canvas Size’ in order to crop the unnecissary extra left and right margins leftover from the resize. If so, why not add this to your ‘Photoshop Action’? Just select the last instance in the ‘Action’ you created and click record again! Simple as that.
You may now wish to save the newly created file… I hope… again, actionable! ;)
