  • Back at Microsoft: GeorgeRe -> a-GeorgR

    Two weeks ago, I went back to Microsoft. I'm now a contractor in Windows Emerging Markets, working on a research project for an architect. What we're doing is quite interesting and I hope to be able to talk about it someday.

  • IIS and Skype

    I couldn't browse to the default website running on an XP SP2 machine earlier today, which was odd, since it worked yesterday, and I hadn't done anything since but reboot. Event Viewer said that IIS couldn't bind instance 1. w3svc/1 was configured to run on port 80. I thought at first that it might be something to do with the new firewall in XP SP2 blocking IIS, but that seemed odd and besides I couldn't find any mention of IIS in the firewall UI.
