Ken Levy goes to Windows Live

Community Cheerleading

Now here’s a guy about whom I can literally say “I knew him when.”

I knew Ken Levy when he was a wee lad (a teen) who had written the most popular add-in for professional FoxPro developers everywhere – GenScrnX!

This was so long ago that rather than an email, Ken used an ID of  76350,2610. Yep, Compuserve.

Ken, along with YAG, has been doing great things at Microsoft for a whole lotta years now. But now Ken is straying from the fold and got lured over to Windows Live.

It’s the Patrick and Duane Show!!-Security MiniCode Camp in Waltham in March

dotNET

These guys are NOT to be missed if you are able to get to Waltham, MA on March 25th. It’s a “mini-code camp.” A one day one track event.

Patrick Hynds and Duane LaFlotte are two guys you want on YOUR side when it comes to hacking. Had Duane found a different mentor in his youth, he’d be the guy downloading all of your credit card companies most secure data! Phew, we lucked out.

Not only do they know amazing things about security, but they are one hell of an entertaining duo!

One word of advice though. If Patrick offers to drive you around Boston, do NOT, I repeat, do NOT sit in the back seat! 🙂

Just discovered an outlook trick by accident

Tools

For as long as I’ve been using outlook, I have always clicked on the “new message” icon to create a message.

I just accidentally double clicked on a whitespace below my message list in unread mail (where I have a red circle and yes I did that with a mouse, not on a tablet) and voila!! A new email message window opened up. Man, this is going to help me be even lazier. I won’t have to move the  mouse all the way up into that corner any more!

It works when you are at the bottom of any view that lists emails. Of course, most of my email folders are bottomless pits of endless emails, but at least the unread mail looks minimal when I have the groups closed.
