One of the improved features of Windows Sharepoint Services 3.0 is enhanced presence awareness using Microsoft’s Live Communication Server.  If your company is using LCS, Office Communicator, and Sharepoint, you can see any user’s Communicator status in Sharepoint any time there’s a link to their user profile; for instance the links for the created by […]

Recently I’ve been doing most of my writing here using Windows Live Writer (WLW) (download).  More about that in a later post, but suffice it to say that it’s been a great tool so far.  As a beta from Microsoft, this one shines.
One frustration I had, though, was tagging support.  In the post meta-data there’s a field […]

An interesting perspective:

“…this new weird and programmer-unfriendly behavior of Firefox’s.” [emphasis mine]
I mean, I’ve never thought of behaving correctly with respect to the specification as “programmer-unfriendly” before. Dave mentions that Firefox “…implements permanent redirects without looping the server in…”, but I don’t even know what that means.
I know the issue Dave had was discussed […]

Many of the ASP.NET people I encounter in my work are self-taught developers who wrote Microsoft® Excel® spreadsheets before they wrote C# or Visual Basic®. - MSDN Magazine, July 2006

Recording Your Attention: Spying on Yourself — J Wynia
J’s put up an attention service for himself, much as I’ve done. He has, however, taken the time to give a basic run-down of the very simple procedure for getting one running.
I only have 1 thing to add to J’s list of 14 steps to recording […]

I’ve been wondering if there’s value in an aggregated feed of blog posts and comments. Ideally a threaded one, where the comments followed along behind the post they related to - perhaps even as children - requiring prior art or a new namespace, I suspect.
Obviously on blogs with a ton of comments that would […]

Is anyone out there running a custom attention-recording service, a la the Attention Toolkit?
I’m having some troubles with the new version of the AttentionRecorder extension and custom services. Essentially it’s worked intermittently in Firefox 1.5, but then inexplicably seems to stop recording. It seem to be related to adding a custom service, but […]

Assuming that memeorandum provides value (and I think it does as a component of an overall view of the web, not as a sole view of the web), there’s an aspect of memeorandum that I find lacking, and that’s an addressable history. Gabe provides the ability to go and see what tech.memeorandum.com looked like […]

I’ve been looking more closely at the SSE announcement since it came out; the next few posts are likely to be about this, and some (like this one) fairly (ok, very) long, so be forewarned….
After reading through the spec and accompanying FAQ, I started rifling through the commentary thread at memeorandum.1  Alex Barnett already has […]
