Opening Vista

Bringing clarity to your world

Insofar as construction fashions, it must at the same time and even prior to this be founded on a ground. Together with rising to the heights, it at the same time forms and opens a vista onto its surroundings. The essence of construction lies neither in piling up layers of building materials nor in ordering them according to a plan, but solely in the fact that when we set up a new space another atmosphere opens up, precisely through what is set up.

How to blow away the Outlook form cache

Shutdown Outlook.

Delete everything in this directory:
C:\Documents and Settings\\Local Settings\Application Data\Microsoft\FORMS

When Outlook restarts it will re-cache the forms as it loads them.

What is correct is not yet true

Reading newsgroup posts and the differences between how users understand an application, and how those who designed and built it know what they intended, I'm reminded of this bit from The Question Concerning Technology:
The correct always fixes upon something pertinent in whatever is under consideration. However, in order to be correct, this fixing by no means needs to uncover the thing in question in its essence. Only at the point where such an uncovering happens does the true come to pass. For that reason the merely correct is not yet the true.
Or truth is always how a customer understands the product, even when not strictly correct.
