An interesting observation on the web forum this morning regarding the ability to add branding to KML files for Google Earth resulted in a bit of a quick experimental KML/KMZ creation for locating the KLDC;

This could be very interesting ;)

Issues?
I am running Outlook 2003 SP3, which is a supported version, but unfortunately Outlook continually locks up with a MS LDAP error;

Unable to display results because too many entries in the Internet Directory match your search criteria.

ms-ldap-error

Some quick Googling and we can find a registry edit that should help;
MS KB 311829 FIX: LDAP search error when you try to use a full name to search the Display Name field {Outlook 2002}
MS KB 325314 Error messages when you search the address book by using a full user name {Outlook 2003, Outlook 2002}

In short a new key and DWORD are added to the registry and the issue appears to go away.

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\Outlook\ldap]
"NoDisplayNameSearch"=dword:00000001
