If you want to have a look at how we will possibly interact with computers in the future, have a look at the video below. Great tip from Danny.

Sometimes you see a great function in a software that makes you think: “why didn’t I think of this”? Especially when it is very simple, but so effective.

I just noticed one in Leopard. When you need to rename a file, you often struggle to leave the file extension untouched, and just change the name. Not in Leopard: when you click on a filename to rename it, it does NOT select the extension, just the filename.

Why didn’t I think of this?

Last week, I was looking for some info on our portal. I used a bookmark that I created, to quickly access the team site I was looking for, but all I got was: 404 file not found. Afterwards, I found out that somebody reorganised the portal and moved the site to another URL.

Two reflections on this:

• Should you really delete sites in a SharePoint portal? Should you not at least leave a web part page with a message that the information moved to another location?
  This is a common practice in web content management (redirect pages, even better!), why not in a SharePoint portal?
• Is there a way to have a “friendly” 404 error page? I found out there is a way to have custom error pages, but it is not a very easy procedure to perform, as it even involves some Visual Studio: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/941329
