More Exchange RSS Feeds…
A colleague noticed my impressive list of exchange related blogs/sites in Google Reader and asked me to share them with him on occasion. Luckily you can export all feeds from a specific folder via some workaround.
Exchange RSS Feeds
You can get the resulting file by downloading it from RapidShare (I’ve activated TrafficShare for this file, so no nag-screen there). You can then import all of these feeds to the RSS-reader of your choice in just one shot.
The hard part is keeping up ;-)
Note: If you are more into mailinglists than you should have a look at this blogpost from Joeware. (ref. ADFind)

Exchange 2010 : A Closer Look
Henrik Walther wrote a nice article on Exchange 2010 for the December edition of TechNet Magazine:
The recently released Microsoft Exchange 2010 Release to Manufacturing (RTM) version, like its predecessors, includes a wealth of new features and improvements over existing ones. As a matter of fact, with this release, Exchange now consists of approximately 21 million lines of code.Exchange developers had five main goals in mind for Exchange 2010: to help organizations achieve new levels of reliability, better performance, simplified administration, improved protection of communications and greater business mobility for users. In short, and with the global economic crisis in mind, they aimed to create a more flexible and optimized product that would lower the costs of running an Exchange 2010 infrastructure.
Since April 2008, I have spent a good deal of time testing Exchange 2010 beta and release candidate builds in my labs, as well as in two enterprise customer environments. In this article, I will take you on a tour through the most exciting changes and improvements in this latest and—without doubt—greatest Exchange version we have seen so far.
How To back up WordPress.com posts to Evernote
When WordPress.com announced the e-mail subscription feature end of last year I immediately started thinking about using it in combination with Evernote to create automatic backups of my blog posts.
Here’s a little how to:
Add the e-mail subscriptions widget to your blog 
Log out of WordPress to make sure it doesn’t recognize your existing WordPress account.
Log in to Evernote and copy you Evernote e-mail address from the settings page 
Surf to your own blog and subscribe with your Evernote mail address.
As usual when signing up for something on the internet you’ll need to confirm that the e-mail address you provided is really yours by clicking on an activation link. In this case the mail is sent to Evernote. It will be automatically converted to a new note by their services.
Choose daily or weekly schedule. Corrections made after publishing your post might not be included in the copy sent to Evernote when selecting the “immediate” schedule. 
More details under “settings”:
All posts will be automatically forwarded to Evernote and converted to notes.
I’m keeping them in a separate notebook as you can see. As far as I know there’s are no “inbox rules” that you can create to do that automatically for you, so you need to do some drag & drop now and then.
WordPress.com & Evernote; Better Together?
Note: WordPress (both *.com & *.org) offer you the ability to export.backup your entire blog to an XML file
While you can use it to restore your entire blog, it’s not a human readable format. So it’s not a solution for quick access to some of your old content.
Diepsneeuw Biken
Na het ruimen van de oprit en partijtje American Football-bal gooien met de buren, het kind in mezelf niet langer kunnen bedwingen. Tussen het inhalen van achterstallig klassement door toch even de bike uit de garage gehaald.
Af en toe eens stoppen voor een fotootje is het ideale excuus om weer op adem te komen. Fotograferen tijdens het rijden was er vandaag niet bij ;-)
…En toen was het battery-pack leeg. Het middag maal was ten andere ook snel verteerd op deze manier :-)
Google Wave Invite to spare
I’ve got some Google Wave invites left. Put a reply in the comments if you’re in desperate need for one…

E2K7 notes from the field
Pro-Exchange: Exchange 2007 Notes from the Field
I’ve always wanted to attend an event organized by the Belgian Exchange Community. With 2 very small children there’s always something that seems to pop up last minute however.
Well not this time. The invitation mentioned “lessons learned” and “Exchange 2007 implementations” in one sentence, which sounded like a good combination to me.
Indeed, in a presentation that lasted about 2 hours Tonino covered his personal experiences with Exchange implementations. Both general recommendations concerning the management of an implementation project and technical solutions were discussed. The level of the presentation was just about right. No too technical (don’t want to discus reg keys for 2 hours) but not too much sales pitch either.
I had an interesting evening and will certainly attend some more events in the future!
Note: I’ll add links to the presentation and the Chopsticks video when they become available online.
Adding permissions on printers using powershell
I needed to add a group of users to the ACL of all our printers. As we currently have about 100 printers; I looked if I could use powershell for this.
Currently on Windows server 2008 there are no built in cmdlets to administrate printers. But I did find a useful powershell script with everything I needed.
I ended up with only executing one line of code to add the group to all the printers.
Get-printer printserver | add-printerpermission -user “domain\groupname” -AceType Allow -accessmask ManagePrinters
The script can be found here, I’m posting the google translation link as my Russian isn’t that good;-)
Split CSV to TXT
Question: How to split a csv file in one txt file per line? The first column in the CSV provides the name for the TXT-file and the second one the contents.
SetLocal EnableDelayedExpansion for /f %%i in (inp.csv) do set var=%%i& set name=!var:~0,6!& set phone=!var:~7,4!& echo !phone!>>!name!.txt EndLocal
