I think that microsoft is finally doing something right with their Beta system. Even though there were issues the Windows 7 Beta seems to be a success. People who wanted to test it could download and install (maybe not the first 2 days due to capacity of the servers) . I am currently in the Azure beta (limited beta) and that …
I finally made the full migration over to windows 7. It is fast and uses less memory than Vista. I now am running it on my primary machine. I was on Vista x64 and I have found Windows 7 x64 to be more responsive. To make the migration work I used a drive image software and a spare hard drive. I …
I rarely post on things such as MAC vs PC vs Linux. This is because I’m kind of in the middle. As far as I am concerned, they are just an OS. I use Linux at home (typing this out on Ubuntu) and Windows at work. When I read this article I had to include it for reference. In this case …
I just saw today that there is an app that you can get to allow for Copy and Paste. It appears that it does not work in Safari. I can live with that. The ability to copy and paste is huge. One example is for a wireless network key that is 32 characters, get it in an email and paste into …
It is tax time again. I love doing taxes and I don’t know why. My favorite store is closing so I picked up my copy of taxcut on sale and got 10% going out of business discount. I still like taxcut instead of turbo tax
I found this interesting. A new worm is spreading on a non fixed Microsoft security issue. http://www.computerworld.com/action/article.do?command=viewArticleBasic&articleId=9125941
I have been thinking of getting a NetBook for a while. I have many reasons to get one, most of all is the portable size of the unit. It will also make it easier for me to not break out “my work” as my wife calls the laptop at the moment. So if you were to get a NetBook what would …

I finally got around to upgrading my blog last night. Please ignore any left over things that have to be fixed. WordPress 2.7 is now in place.
I love lists of free software. I came to this one from reading an article about Windows 7. This is a good list of items: http://www.networkworld.com/community/node/28435
After reading this I was a bit angry. I have had AT&T for a long time. My last 3 phones I have been able to either use a usb cable or just Bluetooth to connect my computer through the phone to the internet. Most recently with the 3g network I got close to 1.5 megabits of transfer. Now, with my Iphone …
Yesterday I did as many people did and attempted to download Windows 7. I have a copy but want / need a 64 bit copy. When I went to get the file (legally from Microsoft) I got message from the site saying “Server too busy”. Basically IIS is saying it cannot give you the file, cause it is too busy. You …
The current project I am starting we are debating using a win form client vs a web client. I feel like I have done this argument (discussion) many times. In the past I have always felt that you had more control with a winform. Now with new tools such as ajax,jquery, and css, we are able to make our web applications …
So far the Iphone has been a great device. I have had better reception with this phone than my blackjack. The mail features are really easy to use and nice. I did jailbreak on my phone to store / move files and so far it has been a fantastic device. With this handy step by step guide, I was able to …
Well I finally did it. I ended up with an Iphone. I spend every day at work developing and creating solutions in .NET and I finally abandoned my WMphone and went with an Iphone. For one thing, my phone broke. My original Black Jack decided that it needed to stop taking phone calls ever 3 hours. A reboot would fix the …
