Where is Windows Movie Maker?

Scott — Mon, 26 Oct 2009 18:29:10 +0000

This weekend, I took some video (of my son being blatantly facemasked with no penalty, and then gang tackled In flag football with a minor 5 yarder), and I wanted to share that video with some other parents. (Yes that’s the kind of guy I am Anyway, I just needed to get it out of [...]

Microsoft Live Analytics SSL Expired?

Scott — Sun, 04 Jan 2009 17:45:23 +0000

One of the clients I work with has a web developer that implemented Microsoft Live Analytics last year, and Firefox users are seeing an SSL error when they visit their site. I’ve been remiss in even reporting this because I keep assuming they’re going to fix it, but nobody seems to have noticed, and it’s [...]

Windows Vista for Christmas – Yuck

Scott — Sat, 20 Dec 2008 21:00:24 +0000

I’m not ashamed to admit that I have avoided Windows Vista since it first came out. Although I’m a Microsoft Action Pack subscriber and received my first version of Vista well over a year ago, I’ve continued to function in an XP environment not only because it works, but because I KNOW it. I spend [...]

Cloud Computing Yes, but Microsoft Mess? – err, Mesh?

Scott — Fri, 25 Apr 2008 12:47:25 +0000

This week, Microsoft announced the launch of “Live Mesh” which is going to be their answer to the ultimate computer-nirvana goal of accessing everything you have, from anywhere you may be. Your files, email, pictures, documents, music, and basically your whole life, can be instantly accessible from anywhere you happen to be, as long as [...]

Scott — Thu, 13 Mar 2008 13:35:40 +0000

Last night I was working ofn a few things on my wifes laptop while we were watching a TV show, and like always, I didn’t “put everything away” and I left a Notepad document open with a few notes, and a few browser windows. This morning when I got up, I went to the laptop [...]

Microsoft Buying Yahoo?

Scott — Fri, 01 Feb 2008 14:26:21 +0000

This morning it looks like Microsoft is offering 44.6 billion dollars to buy Yahoo. Holy Cow. That’s a far cry from the usual things I see when I browse my morning Twitter feed. Actually, I’ve been wondering what’s taken them so long, since it’s clear they’re not going to get decent market share any other [...]

Custom Outlook 2007 Warning

Scott — Wed, 30 Jan 2008 15:20:33 +0000

I found something else to hate about office 2007 recently as I attempted to add a contact to Outlook, this time on a newly configured laptop. Like I usually would, I right clicked on the e-mail address of the person who sent me the message, and chose “Add to Contacts”. I added the necessary information, [...]

Modify Save Attachment Dialog Box

Scott — Fri, 25 Jan 2008 15:05:27 +0000

In previous versions of MS Office, it was possible to modify your “save attachment as” dialog box with folders that you prefer, but in Office 2007, that option appeared to be gone thanks to this blog post I now know how to do it in the current version of Office. All you have to do [...]

Why Not Use Outlook 2007?

Scott — Wed, 09 Jan 2008 21:16:01 +0000

Sorry, here’s another quick thing that sucks about Office 2007, this time in Outlook. (There are so many things to hate in Office 2007 that I’ve added now added MS Office to my blog as it’s own subcategory of Microsoft for future rants.) A client emails me back their end of month report – right [...]

Do you suppose many of the problems users have been experiencing with Office 2007 will be fixed now, with the release of the Office 2007 Service Pack 1 ? Call me a skeptic, but i’m not gettign my hopes up. I am, however, downloading it as we speak, because at this point I’ll try just [...]
