I bought a really nice AMD 64 X2 4400+ Dual Core over 6 months ago. We all need one, but then if we don't have 64 bit software... It's locked up about 5 times since I bought it. The subsequent reboots take about 10 minutes to get the login screen. So basically every reboot is that long and the hard drive thrashes to do even the simplest ...

A couple of days ago, the community learned that Jamie Cansdale , creator of Testdriven.NET wasn't re-nominated for the MVP title. As an explanation from Microsoft , he received a vague email that in the past year, he apparently didn't do enough for the community to get the award, and also apparently violated some MVP code of conduct .

I switched off anonymous comments, after a truckload of comment spam in the last couple of days. Luckily the CS system contains a moderation system so they don't end up on the blog as comments but it's still annoying as the moderation system mails me the comments. July was a pretty quiet month on this blog, I hope to post some more content ...

Last night I was so tired and went to bed after game but post about the final game of World Cup today. You know I wasn’t a fan of those teams but there was only one thing that attracted me to watch this game and enjoy it and it was Fabio Cannavaro. The best defender I know.

Today, Mini-Microsoft , a blog by an anonymous Microsoft employee which got a lot of attention in the past, posted a blog entry that today's post is the last one... Like I said before, for the near-term I will throw up the occasional interesting article or reposted comment. Perhaps that is all it takes given the number of excellent, good-looking ...

I finally decided to step away from the Simple - Blue skin. A while ago I received the disturbing news that my blog didn't render correctly in Firefox, but haven't spend any time on fixing this issue since I had the feeling Community Server was on its way to replace the good old .Text blog engine. Another issue with the Simple - Blue skin is the ...

So i have written to google a email with ...
