Office Assistant should actually assist April 27, 2008

There are many flaws with the Office Assistant. As well as being annoying, it generally just doesn’t help, giving basic tips in an almost patronising way.

I want Office Assistant to actually live up to it’s name.
Office Assistant should be able to process commands given to it in a simple, human language.
It should be able to do things when files, images, and text are dropped onto it.
It should process Outlook Alerts graphically, possibly use Text to Speech.
It should have it’s own set of wizards and tools.
It should be able to search the net for resources too, copyright free ones.

If only Clippy did these things, he wouldn’t be hated as much.

To whom it may concern,

Please release a Mac Client of IM-History and DocSyncer, very soon please!
Your products are great, but It would be even better if I could get them on my Mac, also.

Regards,

CLibra

PS. Also, please accept me into the DropBox beta.

Well, I need to let them know SOMEHOW that I’m waiting.

I’ll update my letter as new software is released. If I don’t ask, I won’t get!

OS X Comes with a built in psychiatrist, which runs inside emacs.

You have to be truly mental to use it though :P

If you visit the New Hotmail website, you’ll be greeted with a flash player that will tell you all about the new ‘Windows Live Hotmail’

Whaaaat?! Hotmail now comes with an eBay Hacker? I can see the slogan now;

Connect to your friends with Windows Live eBay Hacker, and never miss another auction.

Microsoft have really done it this time.

How I got my Views to rise December 16, 2007

Yesterday I posted about Google Knol, the proposed Wiki-like creation from Google. Since then, this has happened:

Why have 104 people come from there? I linked to that post when I blogged about it, so It had showed that by linking back to me. Then my visits went up and up.

The moral of this story? To get more traffic, blog about a Google Blog post!

My physics teacher told me about this last year, and I’ve found the URL via Stumble. It’s a simple test of following instructions. See how well you do :P If I didn’t know the knack, I would probably have failed.
