Wednesday, May 21, 2008 12:15 PM
I have had ongoing problems getting various tests to work using my installation of VS2008 Team Suite.

Recently, I tried recording some web tests so... Read More...

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...

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...
