NOTE: Amendment to KB articles: Microsoft are not not amending the date of a KB article if the change made is marked as a version point change (so from 2.2 to 2.3 for instance).
This ought to mean that the amendment made is cosmetic rather than important as important text changes ought to result in a major version change (such as from 2.2 to 3.0).
Because of this change and to avoid unnecessary effort I will in future not amend the listings in the WSS FAQ sites if only a minor version change has taken place.
I will continue to amend both the date and version numbers of major version changes and of course will continue to add all relevant new KB articles that my RSS feeds and other sources give me.

Just a brief note to all the people who having seen Dustin Miller's SPD 2007 presentations have been waiting for his book.

It (SharePoint Designer 2007 for Dummies - Dustin Miller, Heather Solomon) is finally - about a year after the first promised released date (when someone else was supposed to write it) out.

Get it from Amazon US - I'm not sure if it's yet available anywhere else - using this URL

http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/ASIN/0470096012/heme0f

P.S. Note that, in the comments, Dustin himself says that Amazon are wrong and it isn't out! Yet.

Yes, folks.

My upcoming book is already an Amazon US bestseller.

At the time I looked today, there were only a mere 1 million, four hundred and twenty-five thousand, nine hundred and ninety-eight books selling better.

(My suspicion is that they have sold a grand total of two pre-sales copies because I've twice noticed how the book shot up the table to a place in the first 500 thousand [very low down in the first 500,000] before gradually sinking to the depths of the above. How much better does it have to do to make the New York List of Books ?)

Meanwhile final author reviews on it are still proceeding. I sent the first batch of chapters back well before the deadline, so the deadline was halved for the next batch! It reminds me of the old truism about always using up your (say, training) budget because otherwise you'll get less next year.

Note: All of the addresses of the KB / Articles - 2007 Products / MS / Non-MS Articles below were valid at the time I added them to the WSS FAQ
site and to this file. I can't guarantee that they still are.

(This is also posted to the WSS newsgroup at microsoft.public.sharepoint.windowsservices - web access via http://www.microsoft.com/technet/community/newsgroups/server/sharepoint.mspx)

(Items are added to the WSS FAQ throughout the week so you will find new items more quickly by checking at wss.collutions.com or www.wssfaq.com daily.)

From 8th - 14th June 2008

NOTE: Amendment to KB articles: Microsoft are not not amending the date of a KB article if the change made is marked as a version point change (so from 2.2 to 2.3 for instance).
This ought to mean that the amendment made is cosmetic rather than important as important text changes ought to result in a major version change (such as from 2.2 to 3.0).
Because of this change and to avoid unnecessary effort I will in future not amend the listings in the WSS FAQ sites if only a minor version change has taken place.
I will continue to amend both the date and version numbers of major version changes and of course will continue to add all relevant new KB articles that my RSS feeds and other sources give me.

I've just been on a three day IT course which was probably the first course in my life where I had to just hope for time to go by and hope i could last the course without going completely mad or walking out midway through.

There were on reflection four reasons for this sorry state of affairs

- me
- the language of the course
- the subject
- the trainer

The problem with me was that although my Finnish is perfectly fine for normal living and even normal work situations, it isn't that great when it comes to seminars and it seems some courses because new words are used (and in Finnish if you don't know a word, you can't guess it) and by the time you worked out what the word might have meant (based on the rest of the sentence) the speaker has moved on and you're struggling.

In fact I long ago gave up the idea of going to the free seminars Microsoft Finland organise unless either there were some people giving their talks in English or because I was desperate for a day off work and was prepared to sit in the back row most of the time with my eyes closed letting the Finnish roll over me.

This time however I had no choice. The project I've been assigned to for the next 9 months wanted me to go on this course and it was in Finnish (and I suspect no-one even thought that would be a problem for me - a compliment of sorts I suppose).

The language of the course (the second reason) has been adequately mentioned already. This became particularly important because the subject was new to me. I can follow (say) SharePoint presentations because I know the subject and can thus more easily guess those words that are new to me.

That of course covers the third problem. Given a new subject there's not only the problem that it's more difficult to (mentally) "translate" the Finnish, but having done that even the "translation" needs to be understood which isn't easy for a new IT subject even without the earlier mental strain of trying to grasp what the Finnish meant.

However the final nail in the coffin was the instructor who was very much a typical Finnish IT male without (at least it seemed to me) any teaching skills. (He obviously knew the subject but that's a completely different matter).

So what we had was a monotonous voice saying sentence after complicate sentence in a half-mumbled Finnish with no stresses to make the points clearer (because Finns and especially Finnish men don't speak that way).

So half the time I hadn't a clue what he was saying because I had to concentrate to hear him; concentrate to try to pick out the individual Finnish words; and concentrate to try to understand the IT stuff that was the result of all that.

Then there were the demos. They were OK but half the time when he showed how to do something he was only showing how to do it and then suddenly (with no warning) he wasn't and was already about four steps into a process that we were supposed to do on our PCs before anyone had a clue that this was something we were supposed to do.

Then there were sessions of maybe 90 minutes each unbroken by any demo with just that monotonous voice going on and on.

I feel tired just thinking of it.

(and if I want to feel even more tired I only need to think of that annoying way most Finns have of pronouncing English computing words as if they were Finnish words which he too was very "good" at doing).

So REGSEARCH became Regg-Sé-Axe; Create = Cre-Aah-Té - you name it almost every single English word was pronounced in such a way that even if I knew the word I hadn't a hope of realising that that English word was what he was saying.

Note: All of the addresses of the KB / Articles - 2007 Products / MS / Non-MS Articles below were valid at the time I added them to the WSS FAQ
site and to this file. I can't guarantee that they still are.

Because of this change and to avoid unnecessary effort I will in future not amend the listings in the WSS FAQ sites if only a minor version change has taken place.
I will continue to amend both the date and version numbers of major version changes and of course will continue to add all relevant new KB articles that my RSS feeds and other sources give me.
