Being beta, I don't find out the results until about 8 weeks later, but I reckon I didn't fare too well. I did book the test a little impulsively, however I saw the opportunity to do it, and only had a free day to do the test that was a few days later than when I... Read More...

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.

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?

Thursday, April 12, 2007 10:50 PM

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...
