Accessing Location metadata using WIC - Windows Imaging Components

A customer just asked me how to retrieve the "City" metadata using the WIC. It's actually straight forward to pull that out of the IPTC information in most cases, as that is where Photoshop puts it when using the IPTC tab's "Sub-Location section, or the Origin tab.
 
app13/irb/8bimiptc/iptc/City
 
The "Country" is a little bit more tricky because the name of the resource contains a forward slash: ""Country/Primary Location Name"
 
/app13/irb/8bimiptc/iptc/Country\/Primary Location Name
 
Of course, one shouldn't confuse that "City" with the creator's "City" metadata,, which can be found here:
 
/xmp/CreatorContactInfo/CiAdrCity
 
HTH!

Change the Home page in SharePoint

 
Happy New Year to Everyone!
Wow, it's been a while that I had the time to write a blog post. I was simply swamped over the last two months. Soo much has happened!
 
Now I look forward to a good new year and I wish everyone exactly the same!
 
Back to business!
Unbelievable, but after years of working with SharePoint, for the first time, I needed to change the home page. 2 seconds thinking, 20 seconds googling - only to come up with ideas like doing this programmatically ...nuh, this had to be simpler.
 
Hey, what about SharePoint Designer? And there it was, the "Set as Home page" command! It couldn't be more simple :-)
