Coolness that comes from blogging

Got this email earlier today: (name witheld)

Hi Mike,

two days ago I got this strange e-mail that corrupted my outlook pst-file. Normally the monthly backup take care of problems like this but it was three weeks ago and I had some really important stuff that had come in these last few days. Checked the web and found some s/w that seemed to do the trick but at USD 250 they were a bit to high priced for a one time problem. Worked with different workarounds for the problem for hours and hours, there had to be a way….

Finally found your blog and the note on renaming and importing all outlook folders but the inbox and presto! Done in ten minutes and everything in order.

Thank you Mike, you are the man. Should you by any chance ever happen to pass by the godforsaken country called Sweden, I’ll take you for a night on the town and you are welcome to bunk in our guest-room.

Yeah, pretty much made my day, without a doubt!

  • Blogging Statistics That Make Me Think

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

    I have to admit, a couple of the statistics used in this article about blogging caught me by surprise. Specifically about what a difference there appears to be in traffic and followers between blogs that have daily posts versus those that don’t and that longer posts attract more links. I had sort of assumed that…

    Hey by the way, if you missed the Digital Cinema Night at Gnomedex tonight you missed a very impressive piece of technology. The video quality on the big screen was really quite amazing. I think Microsoft really has some good stuff going on in this area. It also didn’t hurt that they sponsored the evening…

    Google Not Loving Blogs So Much

    ByMike McBride Reading Time: 5 minutes

    Now I know it’s not just me. Nate Hoffelder’s article came across in my wanderings this week, commenting on a post he had read by Marco Arment about search traffic, or rather the lack of search traffic. (Follow the links in both articles too, for more on the topic!) Basically, they’ve been noticing a drop…
