O07: Office 2007 Technical Refresh thoughtsI was going to attempt to work in some witty James Bond references (eg Office 07 = O07 – License to Thrill, Live and Let (Toolbars) Die, The World is (Still) Not Enough, A View to a (conditional formatting) Fill, etc, etc) but soon realised none of them were remotely funny…So, let’s give the new Office 2007 Beta 2 Technical Refresh a one...
I’m sure everyone who reads this blog already reads Andrew MacNeill’s (and if not, then why not?). So, the reason I’m linking to his BINDEVENT post is mainly so that I remember to use it soon. I’m ashamed to admit I still use some ancient code in my projects (not that I write much code these days…) that replaces grid header code with a custom class… it’s...
Is anyone else wondering where the Visual FoxPro September newsletter is? I’m hanging out for Milind’s report on Advisor Devcon (Rick’s here was great reading) and other news about the Sedna project…

If you’ve been following the...

Craig Boyd, please help, we need another call to action…

In this post I’ll outline some suggestions I think Microsoft should consider in order to improve the event for next year.Firstly though, a brief note on my expectations going in to TechEd.My reasons for attending TechEd were:– to better understand Microsoft’s product range,– to understand their...
Classic stuff. Jensen Harris comes to terms with the stupidity of hype-induced Australian journalists.I wish I could take credit for this kind of misinformation spreading – it’d make a great April Fool’s prank. No doubt some clown at TechEd last week is responsible.
The always interesting and extremely serious {g} Anil Dash comments nicely on Google Apps for your Domain.I especially liked his second main point explaining why Google Apps doesn’t compete with Microsoft Office.
