Anyone up for a Beta Test? Photo Transfer v0.1
In: Photography
2 Jun 2008 I decided I needed a little app to make me more diligent about backing up my photographs and being sure I don’t destroy them while I am making web previews, edits, etc.
I started today with a little user scenario that goes something like this:
I insert a CF card into my computer. Autoplay launches and [...]

I would venture to say that given this site’s general topic of OS Agnostic computing, I know more than most the arguments for and against these two titan operating systems. The arguments against Vista are legendary. I have made no secret of the fact that I started carrying a Macbook Pro in September of last [...]
I decided that it was time to make a concerted effort to get my TV-Tuner card working in Windows Vista 64-bit edition so I could watch TV in my downstairs office without having to have a dedicated TV for the purpose. This meant breaking down and trying to figure out how to get the [...]

Windows XP Officially Out Of My Rotation…
In: Technology
22 May 2008I can’t say that this was an easy decision for me. I had long loved and had great affection for my self built P4 2.4Ghz box running Windows XP SP2 that I had been using for years. The computer had been rock solid and even when I brought home my new 64-bit Vista HP powerhouse, [...]

I love watching documentaries. I am a hopeless addict of them. Tonight I decided to watch “The History of the Internet” on the Science channel and I have to admit my Microsoft hairs on the back of my neck are raised and annoyed.
If I had to start with a history of the Internet it would [...]

In: Technology
7 Apr 2008I still get regular comments on this post about the DVD bug I found in Windows Vista in January 2007. I thought it would be a good time to revisit this post and discuss this bug a bit further.

In yet another session of having a friend moan about Vista at me because I work for Microsoft, I thought I would do the entire world a favor and post this nice, tiny little tutorial. So you hate User Access Control (UAC) I get it, many do. But seriously folks, it takes 2 seconds to [...]

Google announces Sites – Google SharePoint?
In: Technology
29 Feb 2008I would have to say that Microsoft SharePoint could be considered the foundation of the product I work on at Microsoft, PerformancePoint Server 2007.
That being the case, I try to keep myself very aware of what’s going on in that space. Last night I got an email from Google advertising a new service that was [...]
