Mint adds export function

Mint, a free online financial management tool, adds new features including an export function that downloads your transactions into a CSV file. This will allow you to process data offline as well as share the same to your authorized users. Mint has also improved Naming and Categorization rules management in this update.

You can see the Export feature at the lower left portion of the Transaction View.

SAP Project Documentation

This is a work in progress. The intention is to create a documentation reference via Google Spreadsheet that hopefully will simplify handling of documentation with templates and samples. In general, an SAP project covers five phases namely

  • Project Preparation
  • Conceptual Design
  • Detailed Design
  • Final Preparation
  • Production and Support

In each of this phase, there are documents that need to be delivered as bases for its completion. The list will depend on the scope of the project. We’ll maintain this document as we organize documents we have created from projects and referenced from around the web.

Is KeyScrambler the answer to your online activity security?

This may be better than regularly updating your anti-virus and anti-spyware programs. KeyScrambler encrypts everything you write, from the moment you hit the keyboard, and decrypts them when they get to the destination application. Watch the video below for an introduction. KeyScrambler Personal is free and you can download it here. [Hat tip to Alwyn.]

Of Smartphones and Robots

The iPhone and Blackberry continue to satisfy users more than the rest of the competitors. This video by Changewave Hotwire shows features that users like and dislike about the top two smartphones. [via TCB]

This robot reassembles by itself. Imagine how this could advance in the near future. [via Pmarca]

A note on a note on a note, Google Reader style

Google Reader adds a new feature that allows you to add a note when sharing news items to friends and again allows you to add another note, an editorial one for example, by editing the shared item itself.

The Note function reminds me of Google Notebook, which I used initially with interest but not anymore with the advent of other tools like GDocs, del.icio.us, and various blogging tools. The Reader Note however looks like an easier tool to use, and it has its own folder within Reader.

You can find the Notes functions at every post or item and by its folder at the upper left portion of the screen.

Click here for a full view.

You can add a Note direct from the Notes folder. See image below.

In the example below, when you share an item you can edit the post itself and add your own content (A) and also add a note/ message (B) as preview to your shared item.

Street View

Google Maps adds a Camera Icon beside driving direction items if there’s a related Street View. See images below.

Clicking on the Camera Icon shows you the Street View.

Here’s an overview video of the feature.

A CSS for your Google Documents

Google Docs adds CSS function for documents. This is similar to the template function of MS Word. CSS stands for Cascading Style Sheets. In the Document menu, go to Edit > Edit CSS.

This is pretty useless for the majority of business users since most don’t really know or care much how to do CSS changes. Hopefully in the coming weeks we’ll get some good sources of publicly available CSS codes.

Meantime, here are resources available if you want a bit of CSS IQ.

TechBays Search

We are not competing with Google. Try this anyway.

Well. You can also create your search “application” using PimpMySearch. Hat tip to Jude.
