Exchange calendar is SO BAD that IBM holds a patent on how recall declined meetings. http://www.patentgenius.com/patent... #FUBAR

That's awesomely awful, or awfully awesome.
- Neal Krummell
Exchange is SO STUPID. Just because I decline a meeting doesn't mean that I never want to see it again, be aware that it's still happening, or want to waive the ability to change my mind. If I have a meeting conflict and have to decline a meeting, then a few days later the other meeting changes or is canceled, I have *no idea* that the first meeting (that I can now happily attend) exists!
- Kevin Fox
I think you've just explained why it's so hard sometimes to get people to RSVP meeting invitations: they want to make sure they absolutely can or can't attend before sending the RSVP to Exchange/Outlook's black hole.
- Mark Trapp
The lack of centralization for an organization is what really kills me. Newer users move their copy of the meeting without realizing there's no notification to the owner, and no warning that you shouldn't do that. Or for all users, the owner changes the meeting but neglects to send out the update (or the update fails to arrive for all users) and then half the attendees don't know why the other half isn't in attendance.
- Stephen Mack
Also, there are three options: Accept, Decline and (depending on the context you're looking at the event) 'Maybe' or 'Tentative', which mean very different things ('uncertain' vs 'yes, without confidence').
- Kevin Fox
We use Exchange here at EMI too, and it's just unbelievably bad. I'm scared to know how much collective productivity is lost due to these sorts of issues.
- Eric Case
I don't decline meetings anymore because of this. The only state I use is Accept or nothing at all. It's even worse as a remote employee not being able to see what is going on
- Benjamin Golub
The same here Benjamin. I have another gripe - for the programs I run I often took quick notes in the meeting calendar. If a meeting is rescheduled, it not only removes future instances of the meeting, but everything in the past as well. The logic behind this functionality defies reason.
- JCunwired
isn't there an option to display 'declined' meetings like iCal?
- kartik vaithyanathan
What's the difference between 'accept tentatively' and just taking no action?
- Kevin Fox
Kartik, all my searching says 'no'. It's been suggested to me that I write a script that regularly looks in my 'trash' folder and forwards any events in there to a new 'declined events' calendar, but that just makes me ill.
- Kevin Fox
Kevin, I don't think this is even possible if you're on a server connection.

The answer for GMail is pretty weak. Allowing POP/IMAP for realtime access is totally different then allowing backups. Anyone who's tried to setup GMail backup via POP knows what I'm talking about. It ain't easy, especially given the way they limit POP access.

Cool. I just discovered the embed flag yesterday. I like loading the feeds in the firefox sidebar.
- Peter Warnock
Kol, I think you are a little out of luck.. since an Iframe is just a "window" to another URL, the main page needs to define the size. Without it the browser would need to load every iframe page just to determine how to render the main one. However It would be nice to have an embedded option that allows the "N more comments" concept (more details here http://ff.im/4fGzH), it takes up...

Kol, I'm not sure where you got the impression I don't think Iframes are the way forward, I was addressing your issue of "losing the scrollbar". An Iframe is the only way to get "real time" updates.. you could always roll your own javascript, ff API , DOM based utility but it would only get you the content at the time of the API call.

So there is no other way to get real-time updates without an iframe? Once we can get rid of the scrollbar then I can use it on my site.
- Kol Tregaskes
FF can only update pages they own! BTW in its current form I think the benefits of an embedded FF post (or group etc) far outweigh any minor side effects of a scrollbar. I'd love to use friendfeed as my entire blog commenting system, I'm just waiting for a couple of things (http://ff.im/3TfED) to automate the process.

"Twitter, Facebook and cell phones didn't create this desire or problem. I've known people all my life who turned the television on as soon as they woke up in the morning and left it on until they went to bed at night, just to insure there was never complete silence in the house. All that the new connectivity, on-line virtual game options, and instant messaging do is make it easier to avoid the awful specter of silent, alone time. And yet ... just try to imagine Henry David Thoreau writing his masterpiece about Walden Pond while twittering, texting, and watching CNN. ... And yet ... there's a unique kind of strength that comes from simply sitting in companionship with yourself and listening for what your heart or the world might tell you. Or allowing thoughts or events to percolate slowly against counter-thoughts, opinions, or trends. My best ideas don't occur to me when I'm feverishly involved in churning out words. They come when I give my mind permission to listen instead of talk. To just be for a while. Undistracted. Undisturbed. And sometimes not even consciously focused on the problem at hand. "

Sometimes a person can be so lonely and sad, and silence only magnifies the thing that's so hard to face - you are alone. Turning on the TV is a temporary respite from this burden and safer than alcohol or sleeping pills.

I push one high-frequency poster from my home feed into the void, and up bubbles this wonderful little piece which for 11 hours lived somewhere in limbo beyond the margin of the page. Wonders!

An old '01 Dell of mine which I used until '04 had a floppy drive. I doubt the drive was used more than a half dozen times though.

I can honestly say I have used one in the last two months. Someone had a piece of software that they needed installed.
