Today I installed Beta 2 of Microsoft Office SharePoint Services 2007 on a test server here at work. Wow - this is deep. Obviously very powerful, and the few end-users to whom I've shown the wiki functionality have been blown away, so that's a good sign. We intend on using SharePoint as a one...
Keith Combs from Microsoft TechNet has been posting a series of interesting screencasts about Windows Vista to his blog. If you haven't had much exposure to Vista's UI or feature-set, these are well worth checking out....
Something *really* trivial that I'd like implemented in Windows Live Writer : In my technically-oriented posts I quite often include some code snippets, and I like to syntax-highlight the code by colouring keywords etc. I've tried Steve Dunn's Code Formatter Plugin for WLW , and it's...
Ok, I admit that I'm probably the last .NET developer on earth to learn about this, but just in case I'm not I thought I'd better blog about it. A program I have here at work needed to be able to read text from the clipboard. The text should be a list of dollar-values, and because it was most-likely...
Over the weekend I did a lot of reading about the Model/View/Presenter development paradigm, and tried my hand at a few coding examples. The idea behind MVP is that you take all the logic that would normally tie your user interface (the View) to your data (things like populating TextBox controls, or...
Remember the great 1951 (or was it 1953? I was about -20 at the time) Warner Bros cartoon "Duck Amok", where Daffy Duck is taunted by the artist until he goes crazy and tears down the entire background? That's what I was like yesterday. Except instead of Chuck Jones taunting me, it was Adobe. I don't...
As you know, I've played around recently with blogging from Word 2007, and it was pretty good. I had a few issues with it, one of which was that IE7b3 has broken ftp on my work PC, so I couldn't publish images at all, but in general it does the trick nicely. One thing Word lacks in the blogging department...
Oh my god. How lucky are we? Last Tuesday we got a phone call from the Hotel that we stayed at in Ballarat. One of their cleaners was doing the room we stayed in after someone else had stayed there and found what looked like a diamond! The cleaner remembered us, and was honest enough to let the hotel...
Bully has (in a roundabout way) tagged me to take part in a meme about books and reading habits. I’m supposed to tag five people at the end of this, which I’ll do, but I only really expect one or two of them to actually take part. That’s ok. One book that changed your life I guess I’d have to look at...
Breaking news! The Dead Rising demo (now available in Australia on Xbox Live) is really fun !!! So far I've killed zombies with a sledgehammer, a golf club, a shotgun, a scythe, a bowling ball, a cash register, a chair, a box of soft-drink cans, a bag of gems and a potted plant. I've also changed my...
