I have upgraded the blog to CS2008 tonight. It mostly went well, but I did waste an hour trying to get my media files to be served. Turned out that the issue was that the AppPool in IIS now needs to be run under Integrated rather than Classic. See here...
My dad bought a laptop that came with the typical factory image full of junk. It crashed constantly, didn't detect the anti-virus that was installed and wouldn't allow me to activate Windows Defender. It also only had the system partition for data. All...
I was playing with a new profile on my laptop last night as I was wanting to work with Outlook data syncing to my phone without changing the data on my normal profile. After I logged in, I found that Outlook wasn't responsive. I could use the mouse to...
I've just realised a usability problem with website log in forms. The "remember my password" checkbox is almost always below the log in button. For keyboard support, the sequence goes like this: Give focus to the username field (any good app would do...
I have installed Vista x64 on my server which has a USB printer attached to it. I have shared this printer so that other machines on the network can use it as a network printer. I found that I could see the printer from my Vista x86 laptop, but it just...
This is great news from Microsoft. I remember being a poor uni student when it was difficult to afford even the academic software. Hopefully this deal will come to Australia as well. US ISV Developer Evangelism Team : Free Software, Students and Technology

I keep coming across this problem. IE7 fails to print a document, asking the user to check that the address is correct, indicating that the address is a temporary file located in C:\Users\[Username]\AppData\Local\Temp\Low. Sometimes changing folder permissions...
I had a bit of a rant earlier about the Windows Live unified installer. Today I came across Long's post about how the installer works and Rafael's x64 pain . Rafael's post lead me to do a search for the WLW installation name of Install_{1F973A7F-3FE4...
I think that Windows Live Writer is a great product, but I suspect that the team has been forced into doing things a certain way. I'm sure the Windows Live Writer team is not totally to blame for this, but the impact is the same regardless. Beta 3 has...
I have to admit that I have an expectation that where there is a blog, there is an RSS feed. Its a shame that MSNBC haven't got this synergy for the PhotoBlog . There is however an RSS feed for The Week in Pictures which is great.
This post is a great clarification about the Orcas release date. Orcas will be released this year. February 27 is just the launch date.
Congratulations Frank . Sadly for Australia, I don't think you can ever replace someone like Frank.
This one came around via email. I think "Oops" would be an appropriate word.
Upgrading to CS2007 was really painless, but there was a hole left in my site because of no CAPTCHA support. Well, that has all changed now. A huge thanks and shout out to Brendan who has produced the CAPTCHA goods . His implementation was so easy to...
