Camera-phones One Note and OCR.

Everyone uses different bits of office. There’s a core piece that everyone uses and then we all have our personal 10%. I like the OCR feature of One-Note. For example on the way to the BETT show a few days back I saw an advert on the tube that’s a grander

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

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 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,

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
