Jussi on SharePoint

A few weeks early, so this was a very nice surprise. We’ll get some precious time before SharePoint Conference 2012 in Las Vegas to learn what’s changed, and if things are more stable now than with the betas. After a few hours of running with Office 2013, I have to say that Outlook 2013 and [...]

Not a bad way to start the day. We’re using the Paulig Cupsolo –coffee maker at our training facilities in Helsinki, and even though I don’t normally like super industrial coffee, I’d say this little machine outputs pretty decent java. While sipping my first (huge) cup of coffee I also learned that all existing Microsoft [...]

One of the truly great and new features in SharePoint 2013 (Preview) is Device Channels. In a nutshell, Device Channels provide a model for content editors, site admins and developers to provide content manipulation for different browsers and devices based on their capabilities. The old way of doing things In SharePoint 2010 the official browser [...]

Outlook 2013 in the newly released Preview of Office 2013 has a nice and non-interruptive weather widget in the Calendar view: It seems to default to Imperial (as opposed to Metric) units, and I’ve always sucked with conversions like this. Luckily this is trivial to change to Celsius: Hit Ctrl-F (File) in Outlook. This gives [...]

In Office 2013 (Preview) there’s an option to either do a side-by-side installation, or an upgrade. The side-by-side allows you to run both Office 2010 and Office 2013 on the same machine, thus allowing you to preview the new version while retaining the (presumably) working Office 2010 version. The upgrade option allows you to do [...]

Yesterday Microsoft unveiled Office 2013 (Word, Excel, PowerPoint, Outlook, OneNote, Visio and Project client), SharePoint Foundation 2013 and SharePoint Server 2013 consumer previews.
