I'm busy testing the latest dogfood version of the new 2007 Microsoft Office system. As I journey ever deeper into the new applications in the system I'm uncovering some really neat features. One of my favourites is Outlook 2007's new Send a Calendar via Email feature which allows you to, er, well, send a calendar via email. It works like this: while composing an email, hit the Calendar icon in the Include section of the ribbon:
This brings up a dialog box that allows you to chose how you would like your calendar to appear.
You can choose to simply show your time using any of three different options:
- Availability only (times shown only as Free/Busy/Tentative/Out of Office)
- Limited details (as above but with the meeting subject lines also shown)
- Full details (the whole caboodle, warts and all)
And what you then get is a custom piece of clickable text inserted into your email that shows your availability for the dates you have chosen. A snapshot of your calendar is also enclosed in the email as a .ics file. Here's how Outlook presents my availability tomorrow:
This is really 'useful technology' when you want to organise a meeting with someone who does not have access to your shared calendar. I reckon I've used this new feature at least once a day since discovering it a couple of weeks ago. A real time saver!

Odeo has launched Twttr, an SMS 'broadcast' app. Set up your network of friends, send a text message to a predefined number and everyone in the network gets the message.
The consternation around Twttr comes in two flavours. Michael Arrington at TechCrunch and Alex Williams in his Corante Podcasting column both wondered what Odeo's investors were thinking, letting the team fritter cash on what appears to be a mere whim.
Om Malik and Michael (again) were both concerned about privacy - every text you send through the Twttr service appears on their website. For example, every user has a public web page that shows all of their messages.
This kind of openness is terribly hip and trendy, but doesn't translate well when you want real people to get on board.
Personally, when I first saw the logo, I thought Twttr was another snarky Web 2.0 pisstake app. You know, share twitty photos of your favourite twit with lots of other twits, you twit. Perhaps 'twit' doesn't have the same connotations in the US.
Twits.

This is a short journey through the extensibility of WCF authorization. Assume that I want to implement support for some new kind of security token, or just implement a different kind of authorization based on existing tokens. (Actually, when I say "new kind of security token" I mean a SAML token, but one that contains one or more claims of my own choosing). Just thinking about the service side of things, how do I set about extending WCF?
Step 1. A New SecurityCredentialsManager
In fact, I need to create a class derived from ServiceCredentials. That's a rather misleading name, so instead think of the base class SecurityCredentialsManager. That conveys the real purpose of this class - to manage credentials. I need my ServiceHost to be aware of my new SecurityCredentialsManager, and this is done via a behavior on the service. Right now, the only way to do this is to create my own host class, derived from ServiceHost, and override its InitializeRuntime method, like so...
protected override void InitializeRuntime()
{
this.Description.Behaviors.Remove(typeof(ServiceCredentials));
this.Description.Behaviors.Add(new MyServiceCreds());
base.InitializeRuntime();
}
So what's my new SecurityCredentialsManager class going to do? Actually, I just want to override CreateSecurityTokenManager, so that it returns a new one of my own making. That's the next step.
Step 2. A New SecurityTokenManager
There are two overrides I need to implement for this class. The first is CreateSecurityTokenSerializer, which allows me to specify a class that dictates how my security token will be serialized into messages. I just return an instance of WSSecurityTokenSerializer because I don't want any special treatment. The second override is CreateSecurityTokenAuthenticator, where I get to spin up an instance of my own authentication code. On to the next step.
Step 3. A New SecurityTokenAuthenticator
The only interesting override here is ValidateTokenCore. WCF passes me a SecurityToken and I respond by returning a collection of IAuthorizationPolicy objects, assuming that I validate the incoming token and it's ok. What about those IAuthorizationPolicy objects...?
Step 4. Some New IAuthorizationPolicy objects
I can return one or more of these from ValidateTokenCore. Each one goes into a collection that is managed by the ServiceAuthorizationManager. They all implement a method called Evaluate, and the ServiceAuthorizationManager will call Evaluate on each IAuthorizationPolicy object, passing in an EvaluationContext. Each implementation of Evaluate can contribute claims to the EvaluationContext, and the ServiceAuthorizationManager can make those available in the service's AuthorizationContext, from where authorization decisions can be made in the service.
A final note: this is based on the workings of WCF, June CTP.

If everyone used accurate and relevant email subjects all would be well, but life is never that good.Tagging an items, be it an email, a file, a folder, with metadata offers a world of opportunity to organise, categorise and find what you want, when you want it - and filter out all the other irrelevant stuff. In OSX you can easily do this in the Finder by creating Spotlight comment tags (Quicksilver - yes, it's way more than a launcher - can help you organise and apply these) or using a application such as SpotMeta.Email, however, relise on creating complex sorting and filtering rules and to group information together effectively, the moving of messages between different mailboxes - even OSX Mail's Smart Mailboxes are not quite enough on their own.

Since there some confusion over the future of the Windows API it's worth pulling out this quote from Eric Nelson at Microsoft UK, writing on WinFX development:
Some of the new functionality in Windows Vista is only exposed as native Windows APIs and managed code developers will need to use interop to gain access.
This feels like full circle - I recall being told at PDC 2003 that some functionality in Windows Vista would only be available through managed code, and of course this is true of the Windows Presentation Foundation etc.
At the same time it's kinda obvious. Fundamentally, the .NET runtime is a wrapper around the native API, and like most wrappers, it is not 100% comprehensive.

We’ve noticed a few problems on ConnectViaBooks with FreeTextBox (FTB) and FireFox that have only started happening once you upgrade to FireFox 1.5. Really annoying things such as the cursor not appearing in FTB when it has focus (even though you can still type away in it), and the javascript API not working correctly for inserting html.
Others on the FTB forum seem to be having problems as well and there’s no news of any update (FireFox 1.5 has been out for a while after all). So I’ve been on the search for an alternative rich text editor for asp.net. So far the best and easiest to switch to has been Teleriks RAD Editor. It’s a lot more expensive than FTB (which is free obviously), but it doesn’t suffer from the FireFox issues which is the most important thing! I’ll let you know what we purchase in the end.
