    Things that really aggravated me this week...

    1. The fact that Adobe sneaks in the Google Desktop install when you install Flash... without asking mind you.  Complete BS move by Adobe and I'm going to build a Silverlight app tonight in protest.
    2. Senate Bill 1959
    3. St. Louis Rams and Gus Frerotte
    4. Microsoft Office SharePoint Designer Workflow.  I should have started working with this product months ago, but I just can't find time for everything.  Major complaints are: not being able to deploy workflows in multiple lists, not being able to author against a content type and it basically being just too hard to actually accomplish "real" tasks.
    5. Windows Vista continuing to hog more resources.
    6. Christmas light strands that don't work because one bulb is bad.
    7. The "Free Laptops" commercials.

    To end on a positive note!

    • Missouri beat Kansas
    • The Fujitsu fi6140 is amazing
    • We are almost finished with two major releases

    Have a good night,

    KnowledgeLake Web Viewer adds PDF Support

    Starting with version 2.3 of the KnowledgeLake Imaging Viewer, PDF support is out of the box.  I'm very excited about this addition, especially as we are providing it with the base product for no additional cost.  When users upgrade from 2.2 to 2.3 (available early December), the support will happen automatically.

    For those of you reading that don't use our Imaging product, the Image Viewer is a zero footprint web application that integrates with SharePoint and allows viewing of TIFF and now PDF documents online.  There a several advantages to using our viewer over, say Adobe Reader.  The first obvious reason is that there is no foot print on client machines.  Everything it does in inside the browser and requires no ActiveX, Java, Flash or any other technology.  The second advantage is that users don't have to wait for for the document to download before viewing it.  Let's say you want to see page 99 out of several hundred pages.  You'd simply load the document and then select page 99 have the page you want.  All the work happens on the server, only rendering what is required to the client.

    The third big advantage is that you can view and modify the documents SharePoint properties at the same time you are viewing the pages.
