A little thought exercise for you, dear reader. Something that I thought of a fair while ago and still wonder about sometimes. Imagine that you go to sleep tonight, and when you wake up it's September 1st, 2001. You still have all the knowledge of the last few years. You know that in 10 days the WTC...
Ok, here are some thoughts about Perth and its attractions after out little vacation. Perth's CBD (where we spent the bulk of our time) is really great. It has a wide variety of shops and a free transit system in the form of three buses which drive all over the city centre and surrounding areas....
Sal and I are back from our odyssey in the far west of our great nation! I have a bit of a rant to make, but before that I have to say that we enjoyed the trip away, and enjoyed Perth in general. It's a lovely city with some great attractions. Now, onto the rant: Some people don't embrace the...

A little tip for people using Sql Server Reporting Services. Y'know how you can define parameters that have "available values"? You can specify either a literal list of values, or a query from which the values are read. For the query option, you have to specify a "value field"...
Straight from the horse's mouth over at the Internet Explorer Team Blog , here are some handy keyboard shortcuts for getting to the new Favorites Center in Internet Explorer 7. Ctrl+H = History Ctrl+I = Favorites Ctrl+J = Feeds Outstanding! Anything that lets me keep working without reaching for...
I've been putting together a little homage to my favourite RSS feed reader, SharpReader , using the new RSS Platform API in IE7. I'm going to test CommunityServer 2.0's new "post attachment" feature by posting the entire C# project right here. Let me know what you think. Obviously...
