The default Sharepoint calendar though meets the purpose, is very plain and lacks color. I tried using Sharepoint Designer to change the background color and only succeeded in changing the border color and the border style and thickness.
For those of you who might be interested, there is an excellent article in PlanetWilson Sharepoint Blog on color coding Sharepoint calendar. Both Sharepoint 2003 and 2007 versions are covered.
If you would like to get a preview of the calendar items, refer to this post - Preview of Sharepoint Calendar Items.
Templates extend the functionality of Sharepoint by providing a consistent look and feel, role based features, and offering a bolier plate in some cases like bug database, discussion board etc.
Microsoft provides some good templates and sample master pages for download. These greatly reduce the development cycle and also offer a rich interface for the user. Details and download from here.
Webparts extend the functionality of Sharepoint to a great extent. There are both commercial as well as free versions offered by several vendors. The following are some of the free webparts that are quite useful:

In Part I, we had seen the commonly used Moving Avergaes (MA). I had given an example of using the 13ema on a daily chart. Personally, I use the 13ema with the 34ema. After a long downtrend as the stock or currency price starts moving up, it breaks the faster MA first and then the slower one - whatever MA you might follow.
I place a buy as it breaks the 13ema on the daily chart. The first point of resistance that I factor is the 34ema. Hence, I take part of my profits around that level. Of course, the 34ema is applicable only if the price moves up after a long downtrend. If there is a correction, the price may fall below 13ema but find support around 34ema. In Part I, I had also mentioned that I buy in lots of three’s. Hence, one-third of my holdings are sold at 34ema. The second lot is plus 30 pips (for forex) from the Take Profit 1 area. The last lot, I let it run with a trailing stop as there is nothing to lose. This is sort of mechanical and there are no personal emotions in the trade.
In this example below, you can find that the price moving up on crossing 13ema and also note that the 34ema provifing support as it moves down
Similarly, I sell short when the price falls below the 13ema. In this scenario, the 34 ema is below the 13ema. Hence, I expect ’support’ for the price around those levels. With this in mind, I take profit for the first of the three lots. This is sort of a mechanical trade that rules out any emotional factors. Hence, the 34ema acts as a good support as the price moves down. Excercise caution around those levels.
Ofcourse, the above scenario is textbook one. Expect whipsaws as the price battles with the the 13ema and 34ema. There might be trades that go south as well. Hence, I prefer the daily chart to minimize such whipsaws.
Moving Averages alone are not suffcient to find the optimum entry or exit points. I use Stochastics to find the Overbought and Oversold Levels. In the next blog, I would cover them.
Moving Averages (MA) is widely used to trade in a stock, forex, commodity etc. The rationale is simple. When the stock or the currency price moves up the moving average it is time to buy and when the stock or currency moves down, it is time to sell.
Various time frames are used to plot MA depending on one’s trading personality. For example, 13, 24, 20, 40, 100, 200 etc. Again, the MA can be exponential or simple and can be based on the open, or close and can be based on the daily or hourly time charts or even the 1, 5, 15, 30 minute intervals. With several such options, it is better to stick to a plan and base your trading strictly on that.
I base my MA as follows:
If you are trading stocks, change the take profit and stop loss suitably as the levels I have suggested are not applicable to stocks. Apart from the 13 ema, I also follow the 34 ema. Will explain in a subsequent blog on that.

Recently I had twitted (no such word?) on twitter “I came across a GPS software for geocaching for windows mobile. It is free and speaks to you as well! http://www.basicgps.co.uk/“
Geocaching involves locating hidden treasures using a GPS enabled device. It is a fun activity with varying levels of difficulty. I installed the software on my HTC Touch Diamond (running Windows Mobile) and in no time was able to setup a geocache location. To find a geocache closer to my location, I use http://www.geocaching.com/ . The basic service is free.
For geocaching the following are the steps:
The GPS software has also google maps view. But, for me, it was fun just to navigate without the google maps refernce. Geocaching.com has instructions and offers excellent resources, A to Z, on geocaching.
Using windows mobile and would like to connect to your home computer? I felt the same urge using HTC Touch Diamond running on Windows Mobile 6.1. Though it comes with a remote desktop utility, I was unable to make it work. I was not sure if it was the router firewall that blocked the connection.
I did a search and found a commercial version that had a 7 day trial. I downloaded to try it and found that it worked well through firewall. I was able to launch applications remotely and supported a host of features such as zoom, full screen view, hotkeys, file manager etc.
Browse RDM+ Remote Desktop for Mobiles for details. Do you know of any free applications that are good. Use the comments form to drop a line.
