Liquid XML - The good juice
Monday, November 19, 2007 9:54 PM

I haven't used Liquid XML in some time and had forgotten how good value this little tool is. XML editing, instance document generation, schema validation and more, XPath query tool, all for free. The schema document visualisation is really strong too. Awesome tool, and hats off to Liquid Technologies for making such an awesome tool available free to use. Thanks... Read More...

Outlook 2007 - Just fix it - My Rant
Sunday, November 04, 2007 5:30 PM

Warning: Rant to follow: Ok, I know Outlook 2007 is a complicated piece of software. I know its gone through a whole series of revisions. Could I make a better piece of software? Well I'd like to think so, but the people at Microsoft are smart people so it could be debatable. What I do know? Outlook 2007 is significantly less stable for me than Outlook 2003 ever...

RSS Feeds in Outlook 2007 - Part 2. Bye bye Outlook
Tuesday, September 04, 2007 11:08 PM

The other day, I posted about my issues with Outlook 2007 and its handling of my RSS feeds. 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. I have to say I am very disappointed. I enjoyed the convenience of having my feeds in Outook... Read More...

iMate Jasjar - 1 year later
Wednesday, July 11, 2007 3:20 PM

I own an iMate Jasjar phone and have done for about 1 year. I recently returned from a snow holiday in the lovely snowy mountains here in New South Wales, Australia. I took my phone along and given that I had some issues with it, thought I would give my feelings on the phone after an approximate year of usage. Normally you read reviews of the phone based on its... Read More...

Windows Easy Transfer
Thursday, April 12, 2007 10:50 PM

I just got me a new Dell XPS M1710 with all the bells and whistles. I thought this would be a good opportunity to try out the Windows Easy Transfer as my old Dell had Windows Vista already installed on it. I must say, it was quite painless and pretty damn easy. Backed up to a USb removable drive, then did some basic setup on my new laptop, such as joining my... Read More...

A user experience only a mother could love
Tuesday, February 06, 2007 11:59 PM

So I downloaded Windows Mobile Device Centre, installed it, run it. Plugged in my Windows Mobile 5 device and received the "uber" useful screen you see below. Now which option shall I choose from here.....? I wonder how long it took to design this screen? Well at least its a green screen so it can't be all bad right? Read More...
