My Code Kata–A Solution Kata
Sunday, November 13, 2011 1:53 PM

There are many developers and coders out there who like to do code Kata’s to keep their coding ability up to scratch and to practice their skills. I think it is a good idea. While I like the concept, I find them dead boring and of minimal purpose. Yes, they serve to hone your skills but that’s about it. They are often quite abstract, in that they usually focus...

Fujitsu T900 and Fingerprint Sensor Problems
Sunday, June 27, 2010 6:00 PM

Not so long ago, I bought a Fujitsu T900 Notebook computer from TegaTech (many thanks to the great service and help I received from Hugo Ortega who runs it).

I tried a number of things to fix it, the latest effort being to export all my feeds, delete all of them from Outlook, then re-import. Didn't work, dates were still all wrong.

3 out of 3 Xbox units die

My second original XBox console died another year and a bit after purchasing it. Now, my XBox 360 has died, 1 year and 1 month after I purchased it. Just freaking awesome... Read More...

Saturday, March 10, 2007 6:32 PM

Couple of things in this post. Firstly (and long overdue), I have updated my personal website to get rid of the Atlas CTP functionality and replace that with ASP.NET AJAX 1.0 features. There is not much actually a few update panels, and the inclusion of an AJAX Control toolkit control, the Accordion on the front page to help with useability and screen real estate... Read More...
