We’ve previously looked at how Autofill columns can do really useful things really easily. Now we’re going to look at some extra features you might not have considered.

Metadata is virtuous, but like many virtues easily ignored. The problem is most people can’t be bothered to enter the data that makes life easier. Arguably search and increasingly generative AI means metadata is less important, when searching for keywords keeps getting better - but try sorting and filtering on document contents and you’ll soon see why structured metadata is important.

Copilot Pages are a feature of Biz Chat allowing a more interactive approach to AI assisted authoring. Although broadly similar to Canvas in Chat GPT-4o, Copilot Pages have some interesting features for mixing different types content due the incorporation of Loop capabilities. In this post, we’re doing to dig a little deeper at adding charts to Copilot pages.

Copilot Pro compared, and which is best for me?

There’s a Copilot for everything Microsoft these days. This time, we’re going to take a look at how to bring Copilot home.

Previously we looked at getting setup with Book Time With Me. Now, we’re going deeper and trying some advanced features.

Last time we talked about a simple way to answer the question “What time shall we meet?”

In the last year AI has become the dominant topic of conversation in technology. There has been a lot of attention to how it changes the world of work, but the effects don’t stop there. I thought I would try a fun experiment disguised as a quiz to explore this.

It’s likely that millions of emails fly around the internet every day try to solve a very simple problem: What time shall we meet?

There are some lessons to be drawn from the intersection of mountain goats and technology. We all carry a dazzling array of gadgets about our person these days, but things don’t always work as intended in really severe conditions.

I previously blogged about speaking virtually and some of the challenges. In the previous blog posts we looked at ways to get up and running with OBS and customise the experience. Since then, I have found the although presenting online has become second nature, there are situations where things could be improved.

My last blog postings speaking virtually and speaking virtually part two introduced some of tools and tecniques I was using to get through 2020. There’s been a lot of interest in these blog postings, and I have countinued to be facinated by the subject.

My last blog posting speaking virtually introduced some of tools and equipment that I found could improve public speaking and indeed most forms of presentation over video.
Since then I’ve had the chance to refine the offering based on finding out what works and I learned some neat OBS tricks along the way.

I've got multiple, diverse interests and it's always great when different interests have some connections. Just like everyone else, I found myself having to adapt to life through the lens of a webcam. In my public speaking, work and my volunteering in Scouting I found a common theme that presenting and demoing things over video is very different to doing so in person, and there was much room to do this better.

I volunteer in scouting. It’s fun, sometimes difficult and frustrating even but always rewarding. The skills honed by a room full of excited under 8s are readily transferable to other places. Those of you who have attended my public speaking might think maybe I have taken the interactivity from scouting to heart a little too keenly.

Take the fastlane around passwords

What are we trying to do?

RSS is like latin, it’s been dead for years but is still used sometimes

Take me home to SharePoint

We’re all using two factor authentication on Office 365 right? If you are not, stop reading this now, and turn it on.

Training, kit or attitude?
