Outlook signature personalized to show days that i'm not working - outlook

So this month and next month i'm working parttime. Every week i'm available on another day. I would like to have a signature that shows on what day i'm not available.
I could change it myself every week but i'm looking for a solution where it could be done automaticaly. Does anyone have an idea how i could do this? or where i could find more information or where i could start?
Thank you all!

The signatures are stored as files in a directory
%APPDATA%\Microsoft\Signatures
For HTML formatted mails, the signature has an .htm extension.
To achieve a dynamic signature, you could write a program (or VBA macro) which rewrites your mail signature file. In HTML or Text format, this is not that hard.

Tiddlywiki: embed/link to .msg

I'd like to use Tiddlywiki for a personal knowledge base. In my work flow a lot of content comes in as Outlook emails threads.
Is there a smart way to refer to this content without fully copying over the whole text to each and every tiddler manually?
Maybe saving Outlook mail thread as .msg file, placing it locally and referring to that file might work. The tiddler then may hold some basic summy, but whole detail content lies in the .msg file.
Any ideas?
I am in such case (more struggling with TiddlyWiki, which is great but lacks documentation currently). I ended up using the outlook:oid url-style that opens the mail in outlook. However, it's difficult to retrieve a mail oid, especially as this id changes when copying (and maybe moving) the mail to other folders/pst files.
In my case, I use some outlook mailbox parser that detect specific markup (categories, actions), and take appropriate actions (move them, create the outlook:oid link somewhere, etc). It's ugly but does the job.
You've essentially answered your own question. Alternatively, use gmail or the likes to get proper links that only you can follow.

Ribbon customization, always have access to a sheet

Hello competent people out there!
I have made a time registration sheet, that I use at my work place, in which I type in the hours that I am working on which assignment etc. Every time I need to use this sheet I find its physical location on the hard drive and open it. Through all day this sheet is open because I continuously has to registrate what I do. I want to get rid of this process.
My question now is: is there a good way to "put" this sheet up into the ribbon, so that I can access it from any excel workbook that I am working in? My first thought has been to add a button that simply opens up the workbook, but that wasn't exactly what I was looking for. I want to integrate this "time registration" into Excel itself.
Any input will be helpful.
Thank you very much!

ProgrammaticallyTransfer Data from Infopath to Excel

I'm looking to create some custom code for Infopath (with Visual Studio 2010) to take certain data fields within the form and export them to Excel, mapping this data to the correct cell. Is there a way to do this? I've attempted excel services, but it never places the data in the right place (if it gets the data at all). I've found some information on Microsoft.Office.Interop.Excel.Application through some searching... is this what I should use to do this?
Thanks in advance
Siddharth Rout gave me a great solution here (http://www.siddharthrout.com/vb-dot-net-and-excel/) and it was exactly what I wanted. Thanks!

Comments with timestamp and author?

When working in a large project with many authors it could be a nice feature if the IDE could record when and who is writing a ceratin comment. I would be enough if this information only was visible with a tooltip on the comment-text. Is there any add-on that could do this?
Im working with C# in VS2010.
Update:
A quick solution could of course be a macro that inserted my name and the current time a the current position.
Have your source control system add these values each time the file is checked in.

A solution to embed affiliate data (id/logo) into an installer

I think about a solution (I guess, server based solution), which inserts affiliate ids/logos into an windows installer (setup.exe, set's up a video converter program, nothing fancy) on the fly.
I see the process like this:
1) User clicks on the link with affiliate ID, link requests server for a download file, system on the fly inserts affiliate's logo and id in to this installer... but I guess this solution is rather a science fiction, cause I can't imagine that this can be done on the fly in seconds.
2) So as the second way of doing this, I see a script/program which automatically creates setup files with affiliate's logos and ID's and stores it on the server, for example, once a day.
Any solutions available on the market of doing this? Or, maybe, this can be achieved with simple HEX editing?
