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!

(And are very good by the way!) Thanks Chris, and thanks for stopping by all you…

    It appears they are testing the new version of Blogger. I’ll be glad to have some of those troublesome areas fixed and working the way they should. 🙂 (link via Frank McPherson) Follow these topics: Uncategorized

    I’ve been quiet this week about work on the intranet site, because I haven’t been working on it, really. I got it to a nice, stable place last week, and this week I’ve been writing documentation, trying to get a good written overview of what the site is about, what each module does, how to…
