Outlook command lines

Ewan sent me a mail the other day about all of the hidden stuff thats in Outlook that can be exposed using command lines. I had a browse around the site and found the crabby office lady, and the wonderful bit of Office Triva which will stay in my mind for ever now.

  • The Calendar ends on August 31, 4500.

From the "Why would you want this many" department:

  • The Places bar in Office 2003 can hold at least 150 places.
  • Each folder can have 128 views.
  • You can add 50 additional mailboxes to an Exchange profile.

Some people have too much time on their hands...

I, for one, am glad the calendar goes out to 4500. I intend to live forever. (and.. so far, so good.)

But why August 31st, I wonder? Do they know something we don't?

My colleague John howard http://blogs.technet.com/jhoward reckons that the year 4501 is much more significant. but he reckons that everything stops on 1st January 4501. So what the heck we do from September 1st to December 31st?

May I suggest that delegates at the forthcoming MIT Time Traveler Convention on 7th May http://web.mit.edu/adorai/timetraveler/ ask those from the future to verify the validity of the 4500 feature.

What a fantastic idea!
<snip>
"Write the details down on a piece of acid-free paper, and slip them into obscure books in academic libraries! Carve them into a clay tablet! If you write for a newspaper, insert a few details about the convention! Tell your friends, so that word of the convention will be preserved in our oral history! A note: Time travel is a hard problem, and it may not be invented until long after MIT has faded into oblivion. Thus, we ask that you include the latitude/longitude information when you publicize the convention."

So that explains the bits of paper in books I borrow from the library...
