What's up with Sametime 7.5 spellchecking?
We have been running the new Sametime 7.5 at the office since its release and I must say that I'm impressed. The UI is slick and the new features have made it an up2date IM client. The small issues we had getting the server installed was, I guess, minor and could be expected. I have blogged about a couple of the issues previously.
I have an issue with the real-time spellchecking though. The feature is nice but apparently the spellcheck language follows the UI language which means that I cannot run the UI in English and have the spellcheck in Danish which is my native language. Separate options for UI language and spellcheck language would be nice. If IBM decides to do this I also think that they should consider letting the user set the spellcheck language from the button bar of the IM window for easy on-the-fly switching.

To reapply policies in Sametime 7.5 you simply have to restart the stpolicy service - no need to restart the entire server. Sweet!
Recovering Windows XP passwords
Once back from vacation I had forgotten the password to my newly purchased Windows Media Center machine. Reinstalling wasn't an option and fortunately there was a way around this. 10 minutes and 20 USD later I had my password thanks to the CD image from loginrecovery.com. There might be free options around but I didn't want to spend too much time looking.
