In the grand tradition of this blog, I need to apologise for not posting again. I don't have much of a defence, except that I've been very busy at work for reasons that I can now talk about: My employer has finally received all the confirmations...
Just some quick notes on what I've noticed, or been told by people I trust, about XP SP3 so far. My own experiences are based on a clean install at home and a few test upgrades at work (ah the benefits of being paid to do R&D). What XP Service...
I was originally going to base the title on The Scorpions' " Rock You Like a Hurricane " but then I realised that "suck you" was open to all kinds of misinterpretation and wouldn't end well. Still on with what I really wanted...
I have to admit that some areas of the computer industry make me asahmed to be part of the IT profession at times. Take gaming - 1up.com's article on 5 botched game launches talks about Steam ... Yes, yes, we all love Steam now. By which we mean "It...
Glenn Wolsey posted today about his experiences with migrating from a desktop machine to a MacBook Pro and how it's caused him to re-think his storage strategy. This got me thinking about my own computers and storage needs. I'm actually very happy...

From Daring Fireball (just joined today by the way, after spending 3 days on a rather dry course, reading the site archives). Actual press release on Yahoo Business. Well I wonder if any of the Windows advocates who love to take cheap shots at Apple will...
Yet again, it's the start of a new academic year where I work. We've done our best to get everything lined up and ready for the return of our lecturers and students. And mostly, we've managed. A couple of things spring to mind: Software is...
Well it seems people won't stop complaining about WGA no matter what. Wonder why that is. I would be really interested to break down the list of complainants to find out what portions are made up of the following groups People who'll moan and whine about...
Why should I install this latest version of the infamous Microsoft program dubbed 'spyware' by various respected online publications such as PC Advisor and Softpedia ? Good question. I certainly would advise against it unless you absolutely needed to...
First of all... Yes you can install Exchange on a DC. If you somehow found your way here from a google search while halfway through an installation and need an answer right now, then your answer is "It isn't ideal but yes you can". If you were hoping...
