I stumbled upon this blog entry about a poor fellow whose domain name was stolen by someone breaking into his gmail account and requesting a domain transfer. The thief wants to be paid to return the domain to the rightful owner. Very well written with lots of details about the theft. This is happening right now - Christmas Eve 2007.
‘Twas the day before Christmas…. and I’m finally taking some time off. Things have been crazy lately. I worked Friday night, 7 hours on Saturday and 10 on Sunday. Now it’s Monday, Christmas Eve 2007. Enough is enough. It’s time to stop and smell the Christmas trees.
Merry Christmas!
What a bear! In some ways Exchange 2007 is incredible, in other ways it’s just a pain in the neck. It almost feels like they just gave up and decided to release it before they finished building the user interface. Many things that were done with a GUI interface in Exchange 2003 now require archaic commands using the “PowerShell”. What were they thinking?
Yes - it’s nice having the PowerShell, but it would be nice if you didn’t NEED it for things like moving the public folders, adjusting spam filtering and a few other things that should be a couple of clicks. So far I haven’t even found any help in the PowerShell. I had problems moving public folders - it generated some warnings and some errors, but not much info on how to correct the problem.
I’ve become a huge fan of Bloglines. I find that there are many blogs that I’m interested in, but don’t want to have to go check them out via bookmarks or some other silly stuff. I tried the RSS reader in Outlook, but wasn’t too happy with it. Bloglines makes it simple.
If I stumble upon (another “tool” that I love) a blog that catches my eye, all I have to do is click on the RSS icon in the address bar and it adds it to my feeds on bloglines. Check it out - even my site will let you subscribe.
When I click on the icon it takes me to the bloglines page to add feeds. I can put it at the top level or organize my feeds into folders. Super Easy! I can tell at a glance how many new posts are available for each category and each blog.
