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!

    I was looking around, trying to learn more about this weblog neighborhood concept when I ran across Mark Pilgrim’s little Python script that lets you use the Google API. So I thought I’d search on this blog and see what comes up as a neighborhood. I took a quick copy of the page Mark’s script…

    I was reviewing some exam questions for the A+ exam over my lunch today, using the practice tests included with Mike Meyers’ A+ Certification Passport.

    Scoble has taken notice of his apparent contradiction and is promising a detailed post that will give us insight to how his views have evolved concerning Autolink and Greasemonkey. I’ll give him the benefit of the doubt at this point, and await the explanation. Meanwhile the Peer Pressure Blog notes the likely arms race that…
