Threepeat

Today is the third anniversary of my first blog post. A whole lot has happened (and been blogged) in those years, including events such as:

• I changed jobs
• I started the Exchange blog (2 million hits a month later...)
• I helped release the custom quota service & its source
• I got Larry Osterman to blog (note to self: nagging works!)
• Six months later, I changed jobs again
• Nine months later, I changed jobs again again
• I had a baby
• ...and a whole lot of stuff between.

Side note: Sheesh, I've been in this job for 13 months. <wiping dust off shoulders> Seems like it's time for a change... :-)

And yikes, looking at my "by month" archive, I used to post every single day. Have I run out of things to say, or time in which to say them?

Some of my favorite posts & most useful/popular tips and tricks from over the years:

• Natural language parsing in Outlook
• Giving custom names to the colored flags in Outlook 2003
• A macro to warn you if you send a mail mentioning the word 'attach' without attaching a file
• A history of/rambling about attachment security in Outlook: Part 1 Part 2
• Poor man's mail merge
• Add a keyboard shortcut key to empty the junk email folder
• A macro to create a task from email(s)
• Don't fat finger the send button
• Add links with spaces in them to email
• Prevent reply all for Outlook users
• URL parameters in OWA
• Talked about why we don't like to give out ship dates
• Add a link that goes directly to the middle of a word doc
• Stop IE from opening up Office documents inline
• Talked about feature packs vs service packs
• Get at items in the dumpster that were deleted via IMAP, or in OWA
• MOOWA April Foo's Day Theme (I pity the foo who deploys this one)

Ahh, that was fun. Man, time flies.
