Outlook 2011 for MAC Identity control

One way to separate your work from home emails is the use of Outlook 2011 for MAC identities with the use of the Microsoft Database Utility

- Launch Outlook 2011 for MAC while holding [OPTION] key

- The following window will come up

- Rename the "Main Identity" to "Work"

- Create a new identity by clicking on the [+] button and name it "Home"

- Now click on button to make the "Home" identity default.

- Close down Microsoft Database Utility.

The identity is stored in:
/Users/<username>/Documents/Microsoft User Data/Office 2011 Identities

Next time outlook is launched it will use a new database with new setting, contact, calendars and emails.  To swap between identities just launch outlook by holding [OPTION] key and set a new default.

Clean install of OSX Mavericks and its time for first network utility.  Moving from old version of OSX I discovered Mavericks requires a separate installation of X11.

- Launch Wireshark
- Window will popup asking for X11 installation.

Issue:

Fix:

- Start up XQuartz.
- Start up some inbuilt X11 Applications. e.g.: Terminal, Xman, Xlogo.
- Start up Wiresharek again.After about 5 min wireshark X11 window will POP up. 
- After the initial problem wireshark now works every time.
