Knology network blocked by Microsoft (sometimes)
Isn’t this great. I switch to Knology from Comcast for cable internet at home which otherwise seems just fine plus being $20 cheaper, but now I just discovered that Microsoft blocks Knology’s network from some of their sites.

“You are not authorized to view this page
The Web server you are attempting to reach has a list of IP addresses that are not allowed to access the Web site, and the IP address of your browsing computer is on this list.”
Annoying since that’s a site I use as a professional resource.
Update the next day:
I can access the website mentioned above now. Interesting.

How to Install Lookout on Outlook 2007

The important command in case the post linked to above goes away:
c:\>cd %SYSTEMROOT%\assembly\GAC
c:\>rename Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook Microsoft.Office.Interop.Outlook.OLD
Then restart Outlook
If anybody has tested Office 2007 SP1 with Lookout, let me know. I’ll be testing it soon.
