My boss experienced an weird problem with his installation of Visual Web Developer Express 2008.
When he tried to view a web user control page in the design mode the application only displayed a blank white page. If he clicked on the “Source” view, all the code was there that was expected. Combing through the […]

I just accepted an invitation to participate in a new BETA program. As the name would generally imply, it’s a sort of maintenance and error checking program that continuously runs in the background of Windows.
Here’s Microsoft’s own words about the program:
Windows Advisor is an easy-to-use self-help tool that notifies users about problems on their […]

Why in the world can I not assign custom colors to categories? Perhaps more importantly why in the world can I not select the core primary and secondary colors? I know some of them are close but there’s not a YELLOW.
Why can’t I assign a completely solid color as well. All of these have […]

I just published a post over at Uncover the Internet about an application called RescueTime that allows you to track what applications and websites you spend all your time on during the day.
My initial thought was that this would be an interesting feature to get built into the operating system itself. What better application to […]

I made the “professional” switch over to ASP.NET development awhile back and began using Visual Web Developer Express (VWDE) for all my business clients with the day job. I’ve still kept Dreamweaver 8 installed though because I have a few clients that still use it so it’s nice to be able to open and view […]

I’ve been using Xobni for awhile now ever since I found it and downloaded it initially. I wrote about my experiences with the application. I’ve found that it’s really helpful in a variety of instances when looking for information in e-mail that’s in context with the task you’re trying to accomplish at the […]

One of the things that I cannot believe doesn’t exist yet, or at least I haven’t found it, is the ability to completely control my PPC-6700 (or any smart phone for that matter) from my laptop’s keyboard and mouse.
If I’m docked in my USB cradle and the cradle is attached to my laptop, why […]

The b5 Tech Channel is having a little them post series and I thought of something that might be pretty interesting to share with everyone and we’ll get some responses back in the comments as well.
What’s in your Start Menu?
You’ve got the ability to pin a program you use frequently to your Start Menu […]

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 […]

Since I’ve been playing with Xobni more one question I’ve come across is why doesn’t Xobni use Outlook’s own contact photo information?
That was somewhat of a rhetorical question because I didn’t really need an answer and it wasn’t worth completely pursuing for an answer.
What it did do though was make me wonder where Outlook […]
