หมายกำหนดการ

คำว่า "กำหนดการ" และ "หมายกำหนดการ" นี้มักจะใช้กันผิดเสมอ พจนานุกรมฉบับราชบัณฑิตยสถาน พ.ศ. ๒๕๒๕ ได้ให้ความหมายของคำทั้ง ๒ คำนี้ไว้อย่างชัดเจนเพื่อจะได้นำไปใช้ได้อย่างถูกต้อง ดังนี้

• "กำหนดการ น. ระเบียบการที่บอกถึงขั้นตอนของงานที่จะต้องทำตามลำดับ. (อ. programme)" (หน้า ๙๗)
• "หมายกำหนดการ น. เอกสารแจ้งกำหนดขั้นตอนของงานพระราชพิธีที่ จะต้องอ้างพระบรมราชโองการ คือขึ้นต้นด้วยข้อความว่า 'นายกรัฐมนตรีหรือเลขาธิการพระราชวัง รับสนองพระบรมราชโองการเหนือเกล้าฯ สั่งว่า' เสมอไป." (หน้า ๘๕๔)

[@ ...] label

For keeping emails "from" or "belonging to" certain source.
There is a blank between '@' and source name to support typing look-up in Move or Label command.  So it becomes dash in search expression: "label:@-...".

Examples

• users  =  user's incidents & requests
• helpdesk/support  =  helpdesk/support team's references
• corporate, vendors, management
• org.etc = miscellaneous from various departments

Also another label using same symbol: "@?" = somethings or some other things (depending on individual strategy) from Internet.  The symbol reflects Internet email-address notation (name@somewhere.com).

.run, .taken

The word "run" is a classic computing term. This is because using "done/end" is not practical in GMail: an already done/end mail can be later replied and then returned to Inbox (and not done/end yet) again. Note that "run" is also the past-participle of same "run": i.e., no matter it is returned/restarted, it was run anyway.

.taken = Alternative to ".run" in case to distinguish that: [1] the mail is handled by someone else, or [2] the mail is corresponded elsewhere (e.g., forwarded/quoted in another subject).

Dot '.' prefix is suggested to place them at beginning of GMail label list.

from, keep, subjects

Differences is about how to organise subfolders.

• from: organise subfolders by source: whom/where the file is sent from.
• keep: organise subfolders by our own category or topic.
• subjects: somewhat between from and keep.
• It is topic but based upon source and not directly bound to people/place.
• Similar to ‘from’, it is not kept selectively (we really want to keep) but rather for possible use later.
• For topical folder possibly mixes both what we create or want to keep, as well as those (from other ones) related to or associated with the case.

One fact is that ‘subjects’ was defined before others.  So another implementation can be that only ‘from’ and ‘keep’ are used, no ‘subjects’.

• keep: what we really want to keep, usually organise by class (category, group) and then item (subject, topic).
• from: what we are not as selective as keep, rather have for just in case.  Same organising, usually by a class level first and then item (still better based upon source) level.

Separating between ‘keep’ & ‘from’ helps when we archive or migrate data, as those in ‘keep’ are important whereas ones in ‘from’ are not.

One possible criteria is: do we have own files there?: i.e., we involve and edit/update some files.  Such would not be inside from folder.

Symbols as label shorthands

Using symbol can help shortening length of label list in GMail's subject display.  One awareness of choosing a symbol is that it must be specifiable in search input-field: i.e., not becoming "-" or "%xx" in search formula (need verifying).

Label	Description / Usage
!?	For incoming problem/issue. However this is neither for question ([?] star) nor user incident ("@ users").
!!	Important
^	Caret: for filter: from:(bosses), as alternative to star marking.  This symbol indicates "above".
/	Slash: OK, done.
\	Backslash: moved and/or filed somewhere else: i.e., different thread/subject or outside GMail.
=	Equal sign: the mail has been assigned to (or handled by) someone else.  In most programming languages, "a = b" is recognised as assigning (copying value of) b to a -- or "substituting".
++	Selected active/ongoing conversation thread.  Any GMail subject can become thread.  But this is useful when we want to find back certain threads which should be updated regularly, such as periodic reporting, news updating.
--	Demoted: supposed to be processed somewhere or by someone else.  This can be complement to \ and =; whereas those labels imply known destination, this label doesn't define destination — just "anyway but not by myself".
0!	Zero: "No", skipped, missed, incompleted, failed, none to action/progress, too late.  Previously, 'X' was under consideration, but it seems ambiguous between no/cancel and yes/checked.  However, '0' can also look like 'O' for OK/ongoing, so better add '!'.

Remarks

• Slash/Backslash: These symbols are used in marking completion in checklist -- source of idea here.
• / and = are same usage as ".run" and ".taken", more explanation here.  However, \ may be considerably addition to ".taken" to differentiates between handled-by/assigned-to someone (=) vs moved/filed elsewhere (\).
• In April'10, GMail released lab feature "Nested Labels" which uses slash to create sub-label.  However, "/" label seems not effected from this implementation.
• Idea of ++ and -- is from C programming language.  They are "increment" and "decrement" operators respectively.
  

Hello world

This is place to collect names, labels, tags.
Well, to consider later how to deal with previously-setup GoogleSite "FilingGuide".

3/12) This blog's name was initially "VocabGarden" and "SmartWording" last night.  They were nice words but I'd rather want more familiar wording sound more technical.  Also note the current "Smart Terms" that each both contains almost same letters and sequence :)

Study vs Learn

Care of Merriam-Webster

• STUDY: to read in detail especially with the intention of learning
• LEARN: to gain knowledge or understanding of or skill in by study
