Me: I live in Silicon Valley with my wife, child and cat. I have worked at Microsoft since I graduated from College, mostly in the Macintosh Business Unit on products such as Outlook Express, Entourage, IE, and Virtual PC. I am currently a Senior Lead Program Manager on the Windows Live Hotmail Frontdoor team. I basically manage a team of Program Managers responsible for the User Interface of Hotmail as well as some of the Infrastructure and Architecture. I've been blogging since 2001 and like to play around with .NET in my spare time working on projects such as dasBlog (the blog that powers this site) and Send to SmugMug (an application for uploading photos to SmugMug). I blog about a number of technology and productivity related topics.

yay, SpeedFiler 1.1 is out... now with Ribbon support in Outlook 2007. The improvements and bug fixes are very welcome.
What do I use SpeedFiler for? Well I run it in addition to ClearContext. CC is great for filing messages to Topic folders, but I have a hotmail account in Outlook which CC does not work with (and I file messages in there all the time). Also, I can only run CC on one Outlook at a time cause CC doesn't have master/slave mode yet (it screws up Exchange cached mode if you run Outlook on multiple machines like I do).
I also use it to file and navigate to folders inside of Outlook using the Outlook Shortcut keys. For example type control-Y and then start typing the name of a folder and then enter... now you are in that folder. Save some screen real estate and turn off the left hand Navigation Pane.
For example, to get to the calendar (I can never remember control-2) type:
to move the selected messages type control-shift-v etc.
BTW, if you are interested you can use coupon code BLD743 to get $5 off the $24.95 purchase price, until Jan 27.
Thanks Itzy!
