I’ve finally jumped in and given Microsoft’s Virtual PC software a try. I guess I’m obviously a complete beginner though because I didn’t think about or realize that I’d need to have the installation software for the OS to be installed on the new virtual machine. Now I realize that should have been clearly […]
I’m trying to get things back online and organized on my laptop for working with clients. One of the things I used to do is have many of the frequently used files for clients set to be available offline when I’m disconnected from our network.
The problem was that I quickly ran out of available […]
I’m currently attending an IndyNDA event, a local .NET developer’s group meeting in Indianapolis. The speaker, Paul Hacker is talking about Windows Server 2008.

One of the things I’ve been getting some experience in is working with the latest version of Sharepoint. I can tell you right now that the iFrame implementation within my current client’s implementation is horrendous.
Just as I’m getting this information embedded in my gray matter, there’s information about even the next version coming down the […]
An article by Dana Blankenhorn on ZDNet.com has an interesting question she’s posing. At least I think this is a question she’s posing. Her article actually states that Microsoft should be afraid of open-source software, but I’m not sure that’s actually the case.
What they may need to be concerned with is a change in the […]
This week has just been crazy, and it looked a lot like the 5 weeks before this one and the week to come.
The problem this week is that I couldn’t squeeze into my calendar a seminar in my area that was going to be devoted to Microsoft’s new Windows Home Server.
Totally bummed I couldn’t […]
The new Windows Home Server was scheduled to be released later this month. According to Mary Jo Foley, it doesn’t look like they’re going to make that date.
Long Zheng of istartedsomething.com discovered WHS as listed as “generally available” as of August 27 (according to Microsoft’s lifecycle support page last week). But that date is not […]
