Microsoft Sweden – monthly Lync Tech Community Call

Posted on 2013/04/09 by Tommy Clarke

Hi all, post is in Swedish since this will be a local monthly community tech call for the Swedish Lync customers and partners.

Microsoft kommer från och med april att hålla ett Lync Tech Community online call en gång i månaden där vi diskuterar olika Lync-relaterade ämnen. Det kommer hållas en kort presentation av ett specifikt område och därefter har vi en Q&A session. Ämnena kommer att variera från att vara av övergripande natur till en mer djupare teknisk karaktär.

Det första tillfället kommer handla om nyheter i Lync 2013 och hålls hålls den 23 april, kl 13.00-14.00.

Vi tar gärna emot förslag på ämnen för kommande tillfällen. Skicka era förslag till Arifur Rahman.

Create a out of office board to show what people are on vaccation or called in sick #Exchange #Lync #Office365

This will be kind of hard to grasp for the rest of the world, but in July every year the entire country of Sweden is CLOSED!! I mean some shops are open but there is no real work being done in the offices, everyone is on holiday in Spain or something. I even had to walk like 30 minutes today to find a lunch restaurant that was open. I personally think this is insane, since its crazy cold and dark in December and like to go away on my holidays then and work in July when it’s warm and the sun is at least a bit alive.

Anyway, just a short tip from one of my customers on their setup on how they handle employees that call in sick and are on holiday.

Well it’s really simple, just call in to the Exchange 2010 Outlook Voice Access and set your out of facility message (or just set it via OWA or Outlook)

Then create an Out of Office Board by following this great post

A great example of video in the enterprises

The mobile operator 3 have opened a new web shop, and there is something specially cool with theirs, which they say is the first of its kind in the world.

3 from B-Reel & B-Reel Films on Vimeo.

I haven’t tested it out yet since its early in the morning on a Saturday and all but I sure will.

Have a look on the video or try it out yourself.

November Sunday: teched Online

Posted on 2010/11/14 by Tommy Clarke

So teched is over, all or most of the sessions are online to watch…

And a small tip is to download them instead of watch online, and then open them in Windows media player and then press ctrl+shift+g and set the speed to 1.4 and you will have time to watch one more tonight Winking smile

#Plantronics Iphone App #UCOMS

Posted on 2010/09/13 by Tommy Clarke

Plantronics has an iphone app that shows off their products while you are on the go. But the fun thing with this app is that it is also has some “Sound diagnostics” which basically is a Noise meter that tells you the current noise level in db

The sound diagnostics provides an easy way to measure audio volumes in your environment. This app shows the approximate dB level, providing relative and approximate values as microphone sensitivities vary. It is an educational application, meant solely for educational and entertainment uses and not for any professional dB measurement.
Please note that this application requires an external microphone for use with the iPod Touch.
An approximate guide to decibel level safety:
150-160 = Eardrum rupture
140 = Aircraft carrier deck
130 = Jet take-off (100 meters), gun blast at close range
120 = Human pain threshold, loud rock concert
110 = Serious hearing damage if sustained for more than 1 hour
100 = Serious hearing damage if sustained for more than 8 hours
90 = Likely hearing damage if sustained for more than 8 hours
80 = Potential but unlikely hearing damage if sustained for more than 8 hours
70 = Just annoying, but probably safe
60 = Typical conversational volume
50 = A quiet, library conversation
40 = A whisper
30 = Barely audible sound
20 = Threshold of human hearing
