IE 8 Beta 2 - Zoom issues
If you are using IE 8 beta 2 and your zoom is NOT at 100% you could be having all kinds of issues from performance to skipping around the screen and being unable to select text. This doesn’t seem to be a big issue, I mean who runs at anything other than 100% but it is bigger than that.
GMail - Oh so sexy
If you haven’t checked out GMail for a while, you need to today! They have launched approx 12 themes for it. That in itself isn’t impressive but the fact the themes seem MUCH faster than before and work perfectly in IE 8 Beta 2 in standards mode means that is one less site that I have to keep IE in compat mode for!
SharePoint Search Tips and Tricks
I thought I would share some tips and tricks for improving the search experience with SharePoint:
| In any company you will have people of different backgrounds and skills using SharePoint, and one of the first issues is that search isn’t fine grained enough, and that users either don’t know or don’t feel comfortable with advanced search features to get it fine grained. To make “normal” search easier just add Faceted Search. If you are interested in what that is go and check out the site. Next improve usage by lighting up SharePoint search to the browsers. |
Microsoft CRM on Linux!
I work with great people who are open minded (none of this my brand is better than your brand thinking), so much so they are IMHO the driving force behind interoperability in South Africa.

This IE add on should be standard
Bruce Nicholson pointed the other day to an add on for IE call IE 7 PRO (You can get it from http://www.ie7pro.com) which has some great features. His main one to show me was th spell check feature which allows you to spell what you type in web pages. You can see the difference it made to my potjie article Before and After. This is really nice but not my favorite featre.
