Alan Burchill, one of the organisers for the Brisbane Infrastructure Group and a speaker at last year’s auTechEd has started up a web site for the thing he loves most. The Group Policy Center is now online and answering all those questions you didn’t know you asked.

On a serious note though, Alan and Lilia did an awesome presentation at TechEd and I’m sure this site will show the same level of awesome-ness. Rock on Al.

Repost: Roaming Local Settings in Office 2010

Autor brendon | 19.01.2010 | Category TechStuff

The uber-scripter Parky has noticed a setting to enable roaming for the office ribon and quick launch settings between devices. With the default install, any customisations done to office are local to that PC only. And I quote:

Good news! Office 2010 fixes the Office 2007 issue, where-by you need to resort to implementing fixes yourself, to get Quick Access Toolbar and the new customisable Ribbon to roam between computers. You’ll have to remember to enable this option yourself though – create a Setup customisation with the Office Customisation Tool and enable the following option:

Features – Modify user settings – Microsoft Office 2010 System – Global Options – Customize – Allow roaming of all user customisations

He also points out the MS Knowledge Base article to enable roaming for Office 2007 settings as well.

Thanks Parky

BeBook – 1 battery cycle on

I was pleasantly suppressed with the life span of my BeBook battery. I have left the device on but locked since its first charge on the 17th December and the device only yesterday showed me the low battery warning. 30 days of battery life, cram that up your kindle! ;-) Read on..
