Net maps - PowerShell and Excel

Over the weekend I picked up a link from Jeffrey , which took me to this post by Doug . My post from Friday had already got me thinking about visualization stuff and so I went off on the link that Doug provided. A nice little snippet of PowerShell which

PowerShell from Excel (oh oh, VMware again)

VMware are a competitor and so when things go wrong for them I'll point it out (and to answer Nick, a regular commenter: No, that's not FUD. Saying "VMware had a failure here, so you can extrapolate from that to unspecified future failures"

Open-XML. This is what it's all about.

I have been saying for ages that most IT professionals really don't give two hoots about Open-XML. It's a file format. Who cares ? The old file format had been around for ages, and was pretty opaque, so hardly anyone dug into it. The new format is XML

It's official, Office Open XML is an ISO standard

ISO have posted the official news to their web site, and the less than inspiring title, " ISO/IEC DIS 29500, Information technology – Office Open XML file formats, has received the necessary number of votes for approval as an ISO/IEC International

Search: A quick round-up

I've been meaning to have a play with Search Server since Viral demo'd it on the last roadshow. We have a downloadable VHD for it with a very good walk-through, I can say that honestly because I've just spent a couple of hours walking through it. Of course

MY reason for having Office 2007 SP1

I've blogged about this twice already, but now it's on my system I have one bug-fix to report. I read every thing in Outlook. I don't go to blog sites to see if they have posts, I subscribe to RSS feeds, which get brought into folders in Outlook. In fact

More on office SP1 (pass the tin hat)

It was an interesting journey to work. Between the fog, ice and roadworks and traffic police who seem to have become suicidal of late, I was listening to my e-mail through Outlook Voice Access. The time really has come to buy myself a Jawbone headset

Office 2007 Service pack now out

The title says is all really. Details of what is in the service pack are in KB article 936982 and the download is available here . I've been saying I'd rebuild my PC once we have the release of office and vista SP1 so I haven't been running this one in

Office 2007 support for Windows mobile

One of our Redmond product managers was visiting today, and since he's old friend of mine from my days in consulting we took a chance to grab a Coffee. In putting the world to rights we took in the problem of one part of Microsoft not knowing what another

PowerShell and One-Note ... No, really

Long ago, when I had my first job in the IT industry, all the engineers I met carried hard-covered exercise books wherever they went, and I was encouraged to do the same. These days I still meet old school project managers and engineers who carry a book,

On Writing. And formats for storing writing. Via sockpuppets

I mentioned the post that I lost last night and that it referred to Clive James, a writer whose words I can hear as I read them. I can't think of many others like that: I hear Bill Bryson's words in the on-the-brink-of-mania tones with which Kerry Shale

Imagine having 580 Terabytes of data you can't access.

I've given some clue of the problems I have managing all the photos and Videos, but I realised my problems are pretty small when I read this The National Archives, which holds 900 years of written material, has more than 580 terabytes of data - the equivalent

Presentation skills

I'm back from in Athens, we had a 2 day evangelism summit (a synod ??) followed by after 3 days of Longhorn training, and those of us who will be out talking about Windows Server "Longhorn" got to spend time with a top presentation skills coach who works

If freedom of choice doesn't do it for you how about lower taxes ?

A couple of days ago I wrote about our online Petition to the BSI concerning Open XML, it's always nice to be noticed by Mary Jo Foley but she asks Am I the only one, in reading Microsoft's rationale for ISO standardization, who finds it ironic that Microsoft
