Going around again...

I started Telligent as a PM, then went into product, then moved to the Microsoft-specific "sites" team where I wrote and maintained the http://silverlight.net site. But that ended last week as the sites team transitioned onto other projects inside Telligent. Terri wrote about it here . So,...

Caricatures

As I was walking around the local Geranium Festival at the weekend (they completely shut down the center of our sleepy little town for a bunch of vendors to set up stalls) I came across a guy doing caricatures . We've had them done for the kids a few times but this time I stepped up for a laugh!...

Dealing with Mrs Jobsworth

From wikipedia : A jobsworth is a person who uses his or her job description in a deliberately obstructive way, "a minor factotum whose only status comes from enforcing otherwise petty regulations". The term comes from the phrase "I can't do that, it's more than my job's worth...

Today's not the day to read blogs

Don't believe anything you read today. I know better, but I still forgot the date and believed Daniel had sold his company . His post was very well done, but I still think my old April Fool's Joke was better. Back in 2005 it was more believable I guess. I had a load of congrats emails that day...

What's for dinner?

LOL, the best use yet for our awesome shared family calendar(s): the answer to the age-old question.. "What's for dinner, Mom?" Tara created a new shared calendar called Menu and added "all-day" appointments (just because they are at top and bold like she wanted) that contains...

The grass is not greener

I came across some great quotes this evening from a business forum I recently joined..think about them. When you complain.. " 80% of the people don't care about your problems, and the other 20% are glad you have them " Another.. " People tend to overestimate what can be done in one...

Oh, I forgot synching..

To copy your personal calendar to google, use their new synch tool ... ..and then uninstall it. It crashed my wife's Outlook 2003 almost every hour when it synched up, and I'm still finding strange entries in my Deleted Items folder in Outlook 2007 from when it was running - every hour it would...

Living in Gworld

Dan asked me to post an update as I explore deeper into the Google forest. I'm now fully committed to Gmail and Google Calendar (why isn't it GCalendar?) and Outlook is now purely an evil tolerated for work purposes only. And with Rob Howard's tweet this morning about Google Apps for business...

More Gmail

My daughter thinks it's funny when I talk about Gmail - she says it sounds like "super hero mail". I am of course ok with that. I've been using it more and more recently. I've been sucking in my personal email to Gmail for a month or so and reading it there. When I went on vacation...
