Microsoft Says, "Steal This UI"
Summary: Earlier this year, I said that Office 2007 is the bravest upgrade ever, and the reason was simple: The audacity of introducing a radical new user interface was as surprising as the vast improvements it yielded in productivity. Now, Microsoft has decided to license that user interface to…

Geeking in Excel Again
It’s an all-Office day today. The Globe and Mail embraces the bad pun with “Stressed? Busy? Excel-erate your life“. Tralee Pearce amusingly asserts that “The must-have fall accessory is your desktop spreadsheet program”: > This fall’s coolest accessory is not a trophy handbag, a designer shoe or a…

Connected Documents
I’ll pay $100 to the first person who figures out how to make SubEthaEdit (worst name ever! I still call it Hydra) and OneNote service pack‘s document-editing capabilities connect to each other. Both allow multiple users to edit the same document, and both connect easily across a network, though…

Bundling is not enough
The conventional wisdom with a lot of the software industry is that Microsoft can just bundle any reasonably decent application into the Office suite, even if it’s not the best in its category, and it will have the same effect that bundling an application into Windows has: market dominance. I was…

save-time XSL transforms
If you take a look at the developer documentation that’s just becoming available with the release of the first beta, you’ll see that Office 11 supports XSL transforms when saving a file as XML. It’s a great idea, basically allowing Office to natively export to any arbitrary output format on the…

Holly R4NTs
Hey, whadaya know? My coworker Holly‘s photos have showed up over at R4NT, right there amidst all the art and next to the interview with Chuck D. Why, if she’d start wearing a clock around her neck at the office, it’d be like she were Flav himself.

application metering APIs
Speaking of missed opportunities in programming interfaces, why don’t mainstream Windows applications support usage metering at the function level? Meaning, when I deploy Microsoft Office across my enterprise, I want each installed app to track which menu choices are selected, and how often, by my…

vending machines
I sit by the vending machines on my floor at my office. I always get to hear people pace back and forth between them, considering the many equally horrible options, torn by their decision. Every time I hear them jingling their change in their hands, stroking their chins, wondering what combination…

Outside my office today and
Outside my office today and yesterday, the wind had shifted again. It still smells like That Tuesday when I leave work. The smell also lingers, appropriately, underground in the dark in the subway tunnels. I don’t ever want to smell that odor again. I sometimes have a dark, illogical worry that it…

So, uh, yeah… I added a cam. Over on the left. It’s not usually going to be pointed at me, since we have many fun things to watch in our office. Also, I’m not the only good-lookin’ Indian guy in our office, so don’t be so sure you’re looking at me. Caption suggestions are always welcome.

As a follow-up on yesterday's
As a follow-up on yesterday’s tool for Outlook 2002’s Attachment security settings, you can also check out the official Microsoft tool for making these changes. I haven’t tried it myself yet, but I’m sure it’s a better fit for corporate situations, especially if Exchange is running on the server.…

I know a lot of folks who are passionate about Photoshop. "Just give me Photoshop," they say, "and I can do anything." But what makes me positive that I am a geek even among geeks is that I feel that way about Office. Yep, Microsoft Office. I like it. So I’m all geeked out and excited to read about…

I was just poking around
I was just poking around VeriSign’s site, even thought I hate the company, because I was thinking about digital signatures today. Why isn’t there any cheap or free way to sign code or Office documents? I don’t want to drop $400 on that kind of crap, but I would spend $25 or so. Makes me wish there…
