SharePoint in different languages
Its a silly thing – but if your working with several languages ive found it better to install sharepoint in english and then apply language packs (in my case swedish) – because what you end with is a server that has content in Swedish, and central admin in english, but more important your logfiles are [...]

Real Programmers
This has been around since the dawn of time. Real Programmer humour. Don’t eat quiche. They don’t even know how to spell quiche. They like Twinkies, Coke, and palate-scorching Szechwan food. Don’t write applications programs. They program right down to the bare metal. Applications programs are for dullards who can’t do systems programming. Don’t comment [...]

EVE Online
EVE online has to be one of my favorite MMORPGs of all time – at first appearance it may seem a little like Elite – a space trading and combat game but it’s not – it’s ruthless. It’s not for kids at all, and on the large part there are no rules – even the [...]

ICQ
I have had ICQ for a very very very long time, back in the day it was awesome – it existed when msn was but a dream, and it was really good. I still remember my icq number off the top of my head and have fond memories of some of the random people i [...]

XMLRPC
I was thinking last night about writing a quick program to help categorize wordpress articles. Now I could read them out of the database directly to organize them but that would just not be proper. The way to do it is to use XMLRPC – XML Remote Procedure Calls – so I started to look [...]

Outlook 2010 Telephony Annoyance
I have Outlook 2010 installed and have never had a problem with it until today – I’m on a new windows install and for some reason when I typed a phone number into a contact using the international dialing formats it was removing the plus at the start – trying to format it with a [...]

Cloud computing
I saw this balloon a couple of weeks ago literally no more than 10m from the top of my apartment building which is kind of cool. I don’t know if it was a publicity stunt but I saw it go down just the other side of the buildings next door. I do live just across [...]
