Install Evernote on BlackBerry without the App World
May 13, 2009 at 1:10 pm

If you have a BlackBerry and are located outside US or carry an unsupported model of BlackBerry (like the Pearl or Curve 8600 series), continue reading.

evernote running on blackberry Evernote, the popular web clipping software, is now available for BlackBerry mobile phones as well in addition to iPhone and Windows Mobile.

With Evernote installed, you can create new text notes or edit existing ones, upload pictures (aka Snapshot note) or record voice memos (audio recording). You can also access your existing Evernote notes, search by keywords, filter by tags, or simply browse.

Since Evernote can easily sync notes across all devices, anything that you clip inside the BlackBerry will instantly become available on the web or your Mac / Windows PC.

Initially, Evernote for Blackberry was available for download only through the BlackBerry App World (under the Productivity & Utility category) but since the store is not available outside US or Canada, Evernote has now provided direct download links to the software as well.

BlackBerry Storm users can either download this ZIP or visit s.evernote.com/stormota from the mobile browser for OTA installation. BlackBerry Bold and BlackBerry Curve (8900) users can get Evernote on their phones via s.evernote.com/bbota or this ZIP.

The other advantage is that with direct links, you can install Evernote on older BlackBerry models as well (like BlackBerry Curve 8600 with OS 4.5).

Use Microsoft Word to Generate Lorem Ipsum Text
May 13, 2009 at 11:07 am

Lorem Ipsum refers to a dummy block of text that is often used in publishing and graphic design to fill gaps in the page before the actual words are put into the finished product. Lorem ipsum resembles Latin but has no real meaning.

Insert Dummy Text in Microsoft Word

If you are working inside Microsoft Word and need some filler text to test the layout of fonts and other design elements of your document, there’s no need to hunt for an online generator as you can create “Lorem Ipsum” inside Word itself. Here’s how:

Just start a new paragraph in Word, type =lorem() and hit Enter.

lorem ipsum in word

This will fill three paragraphs of Lorem Ipsum characters in the document but if you also control the amount of text that is generated through the above function as shown below:

=lorem(Number of Paragraphs, Number of Lines)

For instance, =lorem(2,5) will create 2 paragraphs of Lorem Ipsum text and it will span across 5 lines (or sentences). The parameters are optional. If you omit the parameters the default number of paragraphs is three, and the default number of lines per paragraph is also three.

The lorem() function is available in Word 2007 but if you are using a previous version of Office, you may use the good old rand() function to insert any amount of random text in your Word Document.

If the lorem() generator is not working on your copy of Word, you probably have turned off the “Replace text as you type” option available under AutoCorrect. Hat tip Jonathan Bailor.
