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!

Thinking Faster has some thoughts on why technology doesn’t make business as productive as it should be. Some snippets (But read the whole thing!): “I have been in the bowels of the beast, and I think I can say fairly definitively that very few people receive the information they need from the systems they have….

Morning notes

Seems like the equipment worked fine for the meeting yesterday, and it all came back in working order, as well, always a good thing. I told you it was with people I trust to take care of it without my help. There’s not many of them around here, but there are a few. 🙂 I…

Web-Host Outsourcing

Saw this tonight in the newsletter. Langa Letter: Web-Host Outsourcing “Fred Langa explores the pros and cons of outsourcing Web sites and spotlights reader recommendations for finding the perfect Web host.” Definitely noting this one for myself to look at in March when I have to decide whether or not to renew with my current…

Step one into an intranet

ByMike McBride Reading Time: 1 minute

As I said yesterday, I thought getting a copy of Uniform Server would give me a quick and dirty way to create some sort of intranet for our office. I’ve been thinking of myriad ways we could use it, various forms and databases we could use with it, and I’ve gotten really pretty excited about…
