Instead, I drafted an email to the whole department, expanded the distribution list\u00a0and then counted the names&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>Of course I didn&#8217;t quite do it like that&#8230; I pasted the list\u00a0into a text file (which I\u00a0thought I&#8217;d import to Excel as a CSV and then count the number of rows). That didn&#8217;t work out (I got 111 columns instead and I lost count shortly after AA, AB, AC, etc.) so I tried replacing the &#8220;<code>; <\/code>&#8221; with line feeds in Notepad. <a href=\"https:\/\/uk.answers.yahoo.com\/question\/index?qid=20070929072105AAjHDWu\">Notepad can&#8217;t do that, but Word can<\/a>&#8230; <code>Ctrl+H<\/code> will open\u00a0the find and replace dialogue and using\u00a0<code>^p<\/code> as the string for the replacement will\u00a0insert a new paragraph mark. 111 replacements were made (hence 111 names).<\/p>\n<h3>Changing the voicemail number on my Windows Phone<\/h3>\n<p>One of the issues with my iPhone is that I can&#8217;t change the voicemail number from 901 (O2 &#8211; the network my phone thinks it&#8217;s on) to 443 (Giffgaff &#8211; the MVNO that my account is actually with). \u00a0I&#8217;ve jailbroken and hacked around with config files but it doesn&#8217;t work on iOS 7.0.4.<\/p>\n<p>Thankfully, my Nokia Lumia 625 (running Windows Phone 8)\u00a0is a little more flexible. \u00a0When new, it asked me what the voicemail number I needed was. \u00a0In the absence of any information from my service provider (EE), <a href=\"http:\/\/ee.co.uk\/help\/getting-started\/setting-up-voicemail\/voicemail\">I googled and found information that suggested it was\u00a0+447953222222<\/a>. My IT department later suggested I should use +447973100123\u00a0and changing it is\u00a0as simple as hitting the <code>...<\/code> in the phone app and entering settings, then changing the voicemail number. \u00a0As my messages are\u00a0still intact, I guess that both numbers actually end up in the same location&#8230;<\/p>\n<h3>Turning off Twitter&#8217;s\u00a0lock screen updates on Windows Phone<\/h3>\n<p>Talking of Windows Phone, when I installed the Twitter app it asked if I wanted to see selected <a href=\"http:\/\/www.engadget.com\/2013\/10\/08\/twitter-for-windows-phone-update-brings-lockscreen-tweets-theme\/\">tweets on my lock screen<\/a>. \u00a0It seemed like a good idea at first, until I realised I couldn&#8217;t actually click on them. \u00a0Turning off the Twitter lock screen updates was difficult to hunt down &#8211; it&#8217;s not\u00a0set via the Twitter app settings but in the lock screen settings, as <a href=\"http:\/\/sqlblog.com\/blogs\/jamie_thomson\/\">Jamie\u00a0Thomson<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/jamiet\">@jamiet<\/a>) and <a href=\"http:\/\/craighawker.co.uk\/\">Craig Hawker<\/a> (<a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/CraigHawker\">@craighawker<\/a>) highlighted to me. \u00a0Thanks guys.<\/p>\n<h3>Recovering deleted images from a camera flash drive<\/h3>\n<p>Of course, any of us who work in IT know that we\u00a0automatically get to provide a family IT support service. \u00a0I shouldn&#8217;t complain because, after my parents\u00a0in-law\u00a0paid for someone to do some work on their PC I was horrified to see that he had removed Microsoft Security Essentials and added AVG (which I had removed because it kept\u00a0nagging\u00a0to upgrade to a paid version), installed a load of unnecessary software (Defraggler, Firefox, etc.). \u00a0My &#8220;keep it simple, stupid&#8221; approach to septuagenarian IT had been destroyed by someone who wanted to inflict his way of computing on others.<\/p>\n<p>Anyway, back to the point&#8230;<\/p>\n<p>&#8230;My Mother in-law was disappointed to find she was missing some images on her digital camera. \u00a0She swears the camera did it by itself (I suggest it was user error) but, critically, no new pictures had been taken since. \u00a0Following <a href=\"http:\/\/www.pcadvisor.co.uk\/how-to\/photo-video\/3440800\/recover-deleted-photos-from-camera-or-memory-card\/\">advice from PC Advisor<\/a>, I used a free application called <a href=\"http:\/\/www.piriform.com\/recuva\">Recuva<\/a>\u00a0to restore\u00a0the deleted files on the memory card (ironically, from the same software company that creates Defraggler, the tool I said was unnecessary a little earlier). \u00a0It was beautifully simple, although I was unable to <a href=\"http:\/\/www.cardrecovery.com\/support\/camera_drive.asp\">get Windows to recognise the camera as a drive<\/a>\u00a0(it does depend on the\u00a0camera) and had to mess around with card readers instead.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>More snippets from the life of a geek playing at being a manager in the IT industry&#8230;
