A couple of random observations for a Monday morning: Ghost Rider is really as bad as they say it is (and I say that as a huge fan). What a tragic waste of potential. Not even Nic Cage, whom I usually like, could save this film. So many ways in which it could have been done better. The story is a classic...
Not a lot going on right now, so this blog has quietened down somewhat. On Saturday Sal and I went to an "advanced screening" (I thought it was supposed to start two months ago) of Pan's Labyrinth . I've been waiting for this movie for months now, and it was definitely worth the wait. Unbelievably good...
As a tribute to the most awesome game I've played on the 360, and the reason I haven't blogged much this week: Haven't heard of Crackdown? Have a look at the official site ....
As you know, I've been using Windows Live Mail Desktop (beta) for a while now instead of Mozilla Thunderbird (my previous email client). I'm quite happy with it now, apart from a few niggles (the ridiculous amount of time it takes to "catch up" a newsgroup, for example), so I've decided to switch for...
This one was too good not to link to. After dealing with both ISPs and bricks-and-mortar retailers with incredibly poor customer service, I think everyone should read this article: Seven steps to remarkable customer service by Joel Spolsky....
This is a really dumb tip, but I've done it and I'm happy, so I thought I'd share. When a web site doesn't specify the font that IE (or FireFox, for that matter) should use to render it, the browser falls back on some defaults. For IE it's Times New Roman and Courier New (depending...
Our St Valentine's day meeting of the Albury/Wodonga .NET User Group was all about SharePoint. Pablo from Albury TAFE and James from Aspirence gave presentations around MOSS 2007, which sparked a lot of discussion about the platform and its various uses. One of the things we were all very interested...
Wow - a whole week since I've posted. That could be some sort of record (not counting the thirty years or so that I went without posting initially). I wanted to make a quick post about Microsoft Money. I've been using MS Money since Money 95, which cost me all of AU$19.95. That twenty bucks was...
Paul Stovell brings us the first episode of his new screencast series, " Binding Patterns ", entitled " Working with DataSets ". This is a great introduction to the concept of DataSets in ADO.NET, including typed DataSets. It goes for a little over an hour, but I found that it's quite watchable at 1...
Caught a post on digg.com overnight entitled " 10 Most Misspelled Words in Blogs ". The post details some of the homophones that people mix up for no good reason except that they weren't paying attention in grade one or two when you learn this stuff. Words like "their", "there" and "they're"; or "your...
