re: Filtering Spam in Foreign Languages

Alex:

Luckily, it's really easy to peruse the spam content, and "real" messages pop out, visually. Unfortunately, I get something like 50 russian spam messages per day, and they all somehow get through the spam control, otherwise. It's unfortunate, but true. I'd hate to miss an important email, but I also can't deal with a deluge of spam that consists solely of foreign language characters. With a regular pass through the spam folder, things work out OK. -- Ken

Hi Ken,

then if somebody from Russia send you non-spam email on english - you will loose it. even if he lives in US, but still sometimes writes emails in russian - he will set default charset to koi8-r and you never get emails from him

Ken, as someone who references you as "a guru" for VBA and has almost all of your Access and VBA books, I find myself ambivalent about VSTO and when to begin the switch from VBA. Just today (15-Mar-2008), I wrote an op-ed piece about just this issue - bringingclosure.blogspot.com/.../vba-and-vsto.html.

I don't expect you to stop work on VSTO anytime soon, but I am curious as to how you would advise those happy in the VBA world to invest limited time and resources, especially when I read about so much dissatisfaction with Microsoft's OpenXML initiative.

Russ: Since it does't actually work, I'll be moving back to Groove, which always caused me trouble because of maintaining my account. For casual users, Groove makes it really difficult to keep the same account information (at least, in my experience). And it's a big honking app when all you need to do is remotely synchronize files with another person. I know there are lots of options for this, but Groove is (I guess) the best of the lot.

I thought you were a Groove man. And now that it's packaged with Office 200X, isn't it even better?

re: Vista Good News: Alt+Tab Major Improvement!

Mi Sha — Wed, 18 Jul 2007 12:52:30 GMT

Hm... what happened to the good old Microsoft's own Alt-Tab power tool add-on? I use it since... hm... 2003 (or so) and it works pretty much faster than Vista's solution.

I just read your follow-up apology letter in the new issue of Code Magazine, and I can definitely understand how you feel, from a development point of view. I have spent (wasted) time coding solutions that only required a single method call via an existing Framework class.

Don't feel too bad about it. I, and many other people, have benefited greatly from your work (your articles and the awesome AppDev videos, etc.), and we all make these types of mistakes.
