ISBG Day 1: My Life as a File
We all deal with files on daily basis. They are everywhere. In emails, on disks, in forums and on Facebook. I’m sure you’ve created at least one file today, or at least this week. But creating a file should be like planning parenthood. Are you sure you can take care of the file in the…

Connected 2015 Day 3
Today: Hogne learned splendid new things about content management, libraries and plugins for Office and Explorer.
