In the previous post, we saw how to start with Power Automate, so you have a better understanding of what RPA is about. This week, before digging deeper into automation, let’s stop and reflect. Reflect about what we could automate. Those things we do day in day out, those pesky tasks that we lose time with from time to time, all those little things that, when added up, eat a good chunk of our precious time. Get in a quiet place, list all those tasks you could automate and prioritize those that you want to start with. Then, let’s do it! Photo by David Travis on Unsplash The post List al ..read more

In 2015, Microsoft bought Wunderlist, a flagship mobile phone app to manage to-do lists. Wunderlist continues to exist and evolve, while Microsoft has launched another task management application: Microsoft To-Do. The strategy behind these choices is simple: use Wunderlist’s technology to deliver a robust application, while allowing Wunderlist to evolve in parallel. Both tools offer pros and cons. The main advantage of Microsoft To-Do is its seamless and direct integration with Office 365, and therefore the tasks within Exchange and Outlook. We will look into Wunderlist in a future post, bu ..read more

Here’s a new year, a new keynote from Apple and logically, a new iPhone! The eleventh of the name. It is Pro or not, more or less waterproof, allows any kind of gimmick with its cameras, and asks you to offload several hundred euros. Royally, Apple proposes to recycle your old iPhone to prevent you from leaving it forgotten at the bottom of a drawer. I quickly compared, thanks to Apple’s website, the differences, in terms of features, of my good old iPhone SE (which fits in my pocket and weighs only 116 grams) with the iPhone 11 and 11 Pro. Basically, outside the size of the screen (the SE is ..read more

Bon voilà, une nouvelle année, un nouveau keynote d’Apple et logiquement, un nouvel iPhone ! Le onzième du nom. Il est ou pas Pro, plus ou moins étanche, permet toute sorte de gimmick avec ses caméras, et vous demande de vous délester de plusieurs centaines d’euros. Grand prince, Apple reprend votre ancien iPhone pour éviter que vous le laissiez pourrir au fond d’un tiroir, afin de le recycler. Je me suis amusé à comparer, grâce au site d’Apple, les différences, en termes de caractéristiques, de mon bon vieil iPhone SE (qui tient dans ma poche et ne pèse que 116 grammes) avec les iPhone 11 et ..read more

Qui pourrait aujourd’hui se passer de ce que l’on appelait encore il y a quelque temps « une suite bureautique ». Que l’on utilise Google Docs, Microsoft Office ou LibreOffice, l’intégration des différentes briques logicielles a créé le genre et reste populaire. Ces outils sont devenus collaboratifs avec les ajouts de fonctionnalités de travail à plusieurs, de discussion instantanée et de visioconférence. Historiquement, Office a été le premier à intégrer un langage de programmation à pour automatiser certaines tâches. Cette fonctionnalité, qui continue à s’enrichir, a permis la création d’app ..read more

Wunderlist continue d’exister et d’évoluer, alors que Microsoft a lancé une autre application de gestion de tâches : Microsoft To-Do. La stratégie derrière ces choix : utiliser la technologie de Wunderlist pour offrir une application robuste, tout en laissant Wunderlist évoluer en parallèle. Les deux outils offrent des avantages et possèdent des inconvénients. Le principal avantage de Microsoft To-Do est son intégration transparente et directe avec Office 365, et donc les ..read more
