  • DocConvert

    Add the new file formats for conversions – Open Office text documents (.odt), spreadsheets (.ods) and presentations (.odp)

  • AdSense

    My experience with AdSense is not so good.

    From a one hand, I added the AdSense blocks on FAQ/tips pages (200 web-pages) only which are not optimized for search engines. And as result, I have no large auditory (approx.500 visitors per day).

    From another hand, the results are very bad. I have average $0.4 per day in total:-) So seems $10 per month is my limit for these pages.

    But negative experience is good experience too:-)

    PS: yesterday I got the max daily earning fromAdSense – $2.91. In past have no more than $1.7 in one day

  • unicode documents on non-unicode platform

    MS Office (97 and higher) allow to display the unicode documents (xls or doc) on old Windows 95/98/ME

    I don’t know how this feature implemented there because these platforms don’t support the unicode at all. Seems like unicode library deployed with MS Office but not “published” in Windows OS.

    Anyway I want to use this library:-) Because I can’t describe to customers for our viewers why MS Office display the Japanese or Chinese characters on French Windows 98 but our viewer displays the strange chars instead…

  • prices adjusted

    Updated all our prices for products.

    Prices in USD changed to EUR. Prices in EUR recalculated for USD to reflect the current currency exchange

  • search by voice request

    An idea for new startup:

    to create the search engine which will work via voice. If somebody need find some info, you call by phone to service number (or send/upload recorded voice to specified site/url) and say what do you want (“I want to find the information about current Microsoft shares”) and in result, the engine will return (read as voice too!) the result(s).

     Of course, not easy task for voice recognition and voice generation (a few templates a-la women, men etc). But I sure this is perspective way.

  • MS Access 2007

    В Office 97 Майкрософт изменил и формат для базы данных MS Access.
    Теперь это файлы .accdb, а не .mdb
    Соответственно если раньше использовался ADO-провайдер Microsoft.Jet.OLEDB.4.0
    , то теперь используется новый Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0

    Например,
    Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\myAccess2007.accdb;Persist Security Info=False;

    Ну или так с паролем:
    Provider=Microsoft.ACE.OLEDB.12.0;Data Source=C:\myAccess2007.accdb;Jet OLEDB:Database Password=MyDbPassword;

    Разумеется у большинства юзеров такого провайдера пока еще нет. Его нужно качать отсюда:
