Clear Skype name history in Windows 7

Generally we sign in to our Skype account by providing the Skype name and password at the Welcome window. I'm pretty sure most of you have notice the fact that Skype automatically remember the Skype name once we used to sign in. If we sign in to many Skype user accounts using the same machine, all those Skype names are listed as suggestions to sign in. Haven't you ever wanted to get rid of the unwanted Skype names listed? When I tried to do so I realize that the utility is not simply available as deleting the browser history.

Skype creates a dedicated folder per each user account we sign in using the same machine. We see all those Skype names as long as the corresponding folder is stored in the Skype application data space. Therefore we will have to manually delete the folders of unwanted user accounts to clear the history. I did not find any built-in option provided by Skype to do that. Here's the steps to do;

1. Start -> Type 'run' -> Enter
2. Type '%appdata%\Skype' -> OK
3. Skype application data folder will be opened
4. Select the folders with unwanted Skype names that you want to remove
5. Delete those folders
6. Restart Skype and you will no longer see the deleted Skype names

If you have enabled 'Start Skype when computer starts' option at the Welcome window, you might need to restart the computer... :)

Myself Management

Have you ever felt cooped up when you try to do so many things? In my case, yes I have. There are sometimes I just can’t figure out what to do next. I hope this post would not be worthless for those who are the same.

First and most important thing is organizing the tasks and prioritizing them. In simple words, write down all the to-do’s in a small piece of paper. Not only the technical tasks but also the simple things like forwarding a mail, whatever.. Once it is written you would feel much relaxed. No matter how big your work load is, apparently it will get shrink rather than it is suppressed in the mind.

Then number the list according to the priority and do one by one. Don’t forget to cut out the done tasks as more the cuts more you feel happy...

Next, never ever keep the futile thoughts in your mind and let them hold you back. You can’t help anything by being worried. Hence let the mind be cleared from worries. Don’t rush to work and also don’t crawl either.

Furthermore, spare some time to enjoy yourself. Watch movies, listen to music or do whatever your hobby. Cherish past golden memories. Actively involve in social media but avoid sticking on them. Practice to do what you want and close the window without scrolling up and down.

Last but not least, feel free to accept that you don’t know, because no one knows everything. But have the courage to learn and perform. Try to do your best and if by any chance it goes wrong, don’t panic. Attitude and Confidence, never give them a break.. :)

Note: Inspired by the mentors and supervisors.

Observe The Goodness...

Hi everyone, here I am blogging... I wish to share my thoughts, experiences, studies, technical stuff and what ever pop up in my mind. However I am struggling to find a good start right now...

Today, 17th May 2011 is a very important day for all the Buddhists all over the world. We are celebrating the '2600 Buddha Jayanthi' which means 2600 years have passed from the Lord Buddha's enlightenment. Here the Srilankans do every single thing to convey their faith and devotion. Cities are decorated with flags, lanterns and bulbs in such a way that it appears like the heaven on earth at night.

What does it meant by 'The Enlightenment'? Well, I will never be profound enough to define it. One thing I know that Lord Buddha obtained the wisdom about the reality of life. That's nothing created himself but discovered something exists in nature. "Everything changes, nothing remains without change" said Buddha. Every object we capture so dearly is only a collection of decaying materials. What people call themselves is also the same. No one can control their aging and death. Then one's life itself is a temporary illusion just like a shadow come and go.

No matter the religion, no matter the nation, every one is the same. The unwise people practice jealousy, envy and hatred. No one like to suffer. Therefor we should observe the goodness during this short life time and try to make this world a better place before we are gone forever...
