Social networking

There are 2 major meanings according to Wikipedia. So, using each term correctly would be nicer in our language.
  1. Social network: a social structure made of nodes (which are generally individuals or organizations) that are tied by one or more specific types of interdependency.
  2. Social networking or Social network service: focus on building online communities of people who share interests and/or activities, or who are interested in exploring the interests and activities of others.

Lotus-Notes OoO clarification

The agent asks us returning date. However it assumes that we become available that same day too!
  • The dialog lets us specify (I will be out of office...) leaving and returning dates.
  • The first paragraph of OoO message will become: "I will be out of the office starting {leaving date} and will not return until {returning date}."

At returning date (before morning), the agent will send 2 emails to mailbox owner:
  1. Subject: Welcome Back!
    Please disable your Out of Office Agent. To disable the agent, Open your Out of Office profile and select the 'Disable' button.
    While you were out, the 'Out of Office' agent notified the following people of your absence. .....

  2. Subject: Reminder Please Turn Off your Out Of Office Agent
    This is a repeat reminder!
    Please disable your Out of Office Agent. To disable the agent, open your Out of Office profile and select the 'Enable/Disable' button.

So, if we are away, such as on vacation, during date 10 to 14 and will be available at 15; set returning date to 15.

Windows regional setting: Thai non-ShiftLock keyboard

Microsoft does not describe formally what does it mean. Closest-useful one from Internet searching is "Thai Kedmanee (non-ShiftLock) Keyboard Layout".

This table compares results when we (1) hold on [Shift] key and (2) toggle [CapsLock] key.

Layout Normal Shift key is held CapsLock is on
English (US) asdf 1234 ASDF !@#$ ASDF 1234
Thai Kedmanee ฟหกด ๅ/-ภ ฤฆฏโ +๑๒๓ ฤฆฏโ +๑๒๓
Thai Kedmanee (non-ShiftLock) ฟหกด ๅ/-ภ ฤฆฏโ +๑๒๓ ฟหกด ๅ/-ภ
Red colouring denotes outputs different from physical/mechanical typewriter.

Conclusion
  1. Computer keyboard programmes CapsLock key slightly different from physical/mechanical typewriter. Another words, computer keyboard means caps-lock whereas typewriter means shift-lock.
  2. For Thai keyboard layout, non-ShiftLock disables CapsLock key.

For more about Thai keyboards, see "The Keyboard Layouts and Input Method of the Thai Language" (1993).
