Notepad++ Missing Context-menu

For some reason the right-click menu item "Edit with Notepad++" has gone missing on several computers. The following from stack overflow worked for me.

- uninstall Notpad++
- Download and install "Microsoft Visual C++ 2008 Service Pack 1"
- Re-install Notepad++

console.log throws error on Internet Explorer IE

console.log is a great debugging tool. It is better than alerts.  Older versions of IE will give you a
'console' is undefined
Error if you try to use it. I put the following at the top of a javascript file that is included in my web app and it kept IE from throwing script errors.
//If we are on IE8 or similar console won't be defined
if (typeof console === 'undefined') { ////do an alert in IE. You could make it write to another window if that worked better
//console = { log: function () { alert(arguments[0]); } };
//just swallow the call in IE
console = { log: function () { } };
}
I crafted this solution from this page.

Outlook Rule for All but Exchange Server Mail

I get junk email at work from a few places every day. The in place junk filter does not seem to catch them.  I was thinking of trying SpamBayes again, then I thought that all of my junk mail comes from outside my company.  And I rarely have email from outside my company that is not junk mail.

I just created a rule in Outlook that applies to all emails that are not from my company.  It moves all email to a folder "except with /ou in the sender's address".  This site says that "/ou" will filter for internal Exchange server mail.

This is how my filter shows up in the text box:  "-*983db650f7f79bc8e87d9a3ba418aefc\"
