  • Microsoft tries to Think Different

    I got an email from Microsoft today (Office Insider) that included an article about how to add a calendar to Outlook that would give you the March Madness schedule in Outlook as an example of publicly shared calendars. Publicly shared calendars are nothing new, they’ve been around for years: Apple created the webcal URI to […]

  • Where did my space go ?

    The other day I got a notification from the Plesk control panel for Carticipate telling me that the user account was about to expire. I logged into Plesk only to find out that the disk on the VPS was full. Now this was really confusing, since the entire Carticipate system consists of a web2py install, […]

  • Version problems? To the Cloud !

  • iPhone non-visual voice mail …

    A couple of weeks ago, I notice that my iPhone was not receiving voice mails, and I seemed to be missing calls on occasion. In fact, I hadn’t received a voice mail since around the time I upgraded to the 3.0 firmware. Since I use this as my primary business phone, I was a bit […]

  • Hey you get offa my cloud …

    I’ve been using some of the more interesting “cloud” applications recently: Google Apps, Live Mesh and a few others. I’m really impressed with the capablities and use of these free web applications. It’s a really interesting marketing tool as well: give away the low end product to build user acceptance, and then add a bit […]
