Friday, March 21st, 2008A posting on Microsoft Watch by Joe Wilcox: "10 Ways Microsoft Can Make Windows 7 Lucky" provides intriguing 10 things Microsoft can do to make the next version of Windows.
I personally know very little of what is going on in the Windows world, so it's tough to comment on whether Joe is on the mark, [...]
Weekend Project: Windows Media Center
Sunday, November 11th, 2007Yes, I know that the correct english spelling of Center is Centre.
Thanks to the generosity of Jeffa, I scored an old Mini-ATX case with power supply. Yeah, being the junior on the team - I get all the hand-me-downs.
Some hundreds of dollars later from AUSPCMarket, and I have my first ever:
AMD based PC (AMD Athlan64 [...]
iTunes, iPod Touch and Windows
Tuesday, October 23rd, 2007It's nearly a week since I upgraded my iPod from a generation 3 to one of the cool, uber-geek iPod Touch devices. As a 99.5% Windows Vista user, I am impressed.
The iPod Touch works on our home wifi. In the morning I check emails and other overnight happenings from the comfort of my bed in [...]
Geek Project: Debian to Windows Home Server
Monday, August 20th, 2007Do you have an old PC lying around in your house?
Do you have a swarm of laptops needing to be backed up?
Do you have a collection of photos, videos that need to be stored centrally?
Like me, it's is time to install a server on your home network.
Last year, I transformed an old Dell 8200 PC [...]
1 Million Geek March
Monday, July 2nd, 2007What is an Geek? Is Geek a pejorative term?
In the UK, being a trainspotter or anorak is definitely pejorative for those outside the craze. Duncan Riley uses the marketing term Prosumer (professional consumer).
If anyone comes up to me and calls me a Geek, I am proud. Having spent the last year breaking off the shackles of [...]
Generating PDF via OpenXML, PowerShell…
Thursday, June 28th, 2007Colleague in crime, and fellow Aussie (well, at least he's naturalised now), Dave Glover has a post that crosses some old territories of mine.
Using Powershell, .Net, OpenXML and some code that I barely understand because it's not Python; he's been able to generate 60 to 70 documents per second.
Linking it here as it intersects [...]
Alive at Pamplona
Thursday, June 28th, 2007Hey, Jeffa The Geek Stories has the scoop, before The New Inventors: watch the interview with the Alive Tec CEO Bruce Satchwell - that blue device attached to the patient is made on the Gold Coast!
Emailing Bruce last night, apart from complementing me on my sharp eyes and good memory - he also broke the news [...]
Questions from Brisbug, 17th June 2007
Sunday, June 17th, 2007First flight to Brisbane, Sydney Airport 17th June 2007. Up at 4.30am, at the airport at 5.45am. Up so early, even the cats were surprised. Actually one of the cats didn't even bother to come out and visit as it was so early. Motor into Windor to present to 25-30 members of the Brisbug User [...]
Tool of choice: Windows LiveWriter
Monday, June 4th, 2007I've been dog-fooding (that is, internally testing) Windows LiveWriter - for creating editing and posting to my three Blogs. Install, and it just works.
Tim Heuer's Flickr4Writer plugin is a must-have. A major time saver.
There are many positive stories about LiveWriter, this however James Clarke's takes the cake: JetFuel: Silverlight plugin for LiveWriter. Something else to play [...]
