Anything About IT turns 10 today

Thu, 10 May 2018 14:50:47 +0000

On the 10th of May 2008, I wrote my first blog post here “Growing WIM files”. I recently read through the archive and thought of all those moments where sometimes I spend just a few minutes, hours and sometimes even days preparing for a new blog post.

By writing this blog I learned a lot about various tools, products and scripting and hope that now and then, one or the other blog post has helped someone else to solve a problem or expand their knowledge. Looking back at the very first blog layout it feels like wen watching movies from the 80’s, how on earth could I have chosen such a blog layout?

One of the topics that was often highlighted is the importance of having all Office 365 URLs and IP Ranges configured on the outbound allow list. The Office 365 URLs and IP Ranges are documented here and the changes to the list are described here.

Windows sidebar gadgets

Once announced as one of the great new features in Windows Vista, it has become silent around the Sidebar gadgets. To me it looks like people have ran out of ideas about what could be gadgetized.

You find tons of Vista sidebar gadgets that display the weather, latest news, stocks, clocks and a whole range of search gadgets. Then there is another set of tools and utilities where most seem to focus on displaying some system information.
