This happened to me using TPX remoting into an IBM 3390 mainframe and MS Outlook 2000. I was usng <ctrl-c> in the green screen session and pasting into an e-mail in Outlook 2000. The process must have capture additional keystrokes from the TPX session. When I selected <ctrl-p> to paste in an e-mail, the e-mail was sent. So, how to handle this?
1) Do not put in an e-mail address until you are ready to send.
2) Copy text from the problem application(s) and try pasting in notepad first, then copying and pasting again into Outlook.
3) Try using any available built-in copy function in the problem application, in my case it was TPX. TPX has a “COPY” function that captures pure text, versus <CTRL><C> which does more of a screen capture from TPX.
Our business has since migrated to a different e-mail client. I am not sure but it does not seem to be sensitive to this problem.

I’ve come to some realizations while watching some, ummm managers at another company. Yes that’s it.
One ponders the question “Why do you want to be a manager”.
1) I’m stupid so I can be a great manager and lead the company to nowhere.
2) I know how to spend money at home, what’s the difference?
3) I can budget money, Continue reading 'Management 901 – Why you want to become a manager'»
Open letter to Mr. Steven Jobs:
Steve,
This isn’t a pile on session, I’ve seen the ignorant bashing you incessantly. I’m too tired). I’m not here to do the same. Well of course I am. Its fun, its the NEW new thing to bash Apple for not providing everyone their own personal spaceship to Mars (see previous blog post).

The following is an interesting article that talks about average Chinese citizens working around China’s Internet filters.

Call Me! But Not on Skype or Any Other Videophone
In the above article Joel Stein nails how many of us have come to hate the telephone. I bring this up because Tom was just telling me how ubiquitous teleconferencing will replace travel for corporations in the future. While that may be so, most telephones are owned by individuals, and I might suggest that telephone communication among individuals could completely evaporate. Read the article and tell me what you think.
Long-Dead Inventor Nikola Tesla Is Electrifying Hip Techies
Funny I should come across the above article as Tom was just telling me about a book he just read on Tesla, about Tesla’s amazing inventions and his great understanding of how electricity works. From our discussion it sounds like Tesla had some understandings and accomplishments that have been completely lost in history.
Here is my letter to the Wall Street Journal writer of the above article. I could not let this one slip:
Daniel,
One small correction with major Continue reading 'Tesla: Cool. Very Cool.'»

Working for a dot com can be a terrible, dangerous life. The vast wealth gained by programming iPod applications, or reaching any mass audience when one is not prepared, can lead to a horrible life.

Always keep this in mind: If you are buying Joroto’s products, you will be contributing to this morbid lifestyle. Too much money given to too few people, and usually programmers. Those are the last ones who will know what to do with their success.
Okay so I re-posted this oldie. Well I just spent an hour troubleshooting tag links. I have some leeway here.
