Office 2007 Beta

Yup, downloaded it last night. Took until this evening to get it activated. Highly recommend you disable the AVG Outlook plugin that scans incoming email BEFORE you fire up Outlook 2007 to download your email. The email will come in with no content if you let AVG scan it, there is no way to get it back if that’s the only copy you have of the email. Disabling the scanner will bring in new messages with the content visible, ones that were scanned are gone. (Luckily for me, the only messages involved had already been read on my blackberry.)

I’ll have much more to say about Office 2007, I just wanted that bit of important information out there ASAP. In fact, I’ll be relaunching the Office Beta Notes blog sometime in the next few days, where I’ll do nothing but talk about Office. I need to do some reconfiguring of the template to make it fit in with the rest of the site first. Look for a link here by the end of the weekend for sure.

    Just as I thought, the Pocket Streets map of downtown Baltimore came in very handy. It was nice to be able to pull out the Axim and map out exactly how to get where we wanted, or even to just look up what was nearby, in terms of places to eat, things to see, etc….

  • Another aggregator!

    I’ve seen numerous pointers this morning to IntraVnews, an new aggregator that works along with Micorosoft Outlook. I might just have to try this out on the laptop. It’s free for personal use, I’d have to pay for it if I used it at work. I’ll probably download it tonight and see how it works…

    That was what I thought when I saw this post about McAfee’s screw up with the definition files they released Friday morning. It’s completely unacceptable that those def files got released to the public, and that for five hours, the folks who were doing everything we tell them to do in terms of keeping udated,…

  • Was the stock market drop the first sign of an AI market disappointment?

    The question is, can the large tech companies come up with a clear explanation of where AI is going that will convince shareholders that there is long-term value? So far, I don’t think they have, and I say that as someone who generally likes some of the AI tools out there. I think they are reasonably helpful around the edges of my work. They cut time out of my research efforts and helped me with writing. They haven’t changed the world, and it’s not clear that they can do that in their present form. Without that, what are the billions in investment and all the electricity usage for? 

    Big tech will need a better answer to that question than it has, or investors will walk away even more than they did last week.
