Since I'm too slack to actually sign up for a Twitter account, here are a bunch of disconnected one-liners, Twitter-style!

Superman Returns on HD DVD: Fantastic. Transformers and 2001: A Space Odyssey should arrive this week. Pan's Labyrinth released on Boxing Day.

The fact that you need SharePoint installed on your development machine if you want to write any kind of custom code really sucks. On the bright side, it will be a chance to get started in the world of developing on virtual machines.

Exchange 2007 and Office Communications Server 2007 are great, but they suck when your IT department won't purchase a proper certificate and insist on generating their own - one for each server! No wonder we have so many errors and warnings. sigh.

I really wish Office Communicator (and Windows Live Messenger for that matter) supported the pasting of images into the chat window. It would make sending screen-shots to co-workers much easier.

My new ADSL2+ modem (a Linksys WAG54G v3) should arrive early next week. I've decided to roll my modem and wi-fi router into one unit after the two of the stopped talking to each other last week. No wi-fi means no laptop surfing from anywhere in the house.

Currently reading Adam Nathan's Windows Presentation Foundation Unleashed, which Andrew has kindly loaned me. Great read, but I do think you'd need something of a head start to get into it. Euan, for example, found it a bit confusing trying to read it without any experience in WPF.

I love Outlook 2007 so far, but I can't believe that Outlook in general doesn't support usenet newsgroups. I have to run Windows Live Mail side-by-side to get to the Outlook newsgroups. That's just wrong. Yeah, I know there are third-party add-ins to do it, but I really shouldn't have to install (much less buy) anything extra to get to such a fundamental part of the Internet.

That's all for now!
