Aaaaaaaaaaaaah. There must have been an automatic update last night, I came in this morning to a signin screen and the computer was booting from scratch. Of course, I immediately turned around and went for coffee; it's not a quick process. On my return,

I feel a little silly this morning. When I setup my new Vista box a few weeks ago I installed my CA Security Center that I love and uninstalled Windows Defender - or at least I thought I had. I swear I saw it in Add & Remove Programs and got rid of

I started Telligent as a PM, then went into product, then moved to the Microsoft-specific "sites" team where I wrote and maintained the http://silverlight.net site. But that ended last week as the sites team transitioned onto other projects

I've always loved Lightbox - it just looks so cool. I've used it to "popup" larger versions of images on a few sites, but only today did I notice that it causes a security warning in IE7. Unfortunately, this isn't highlighted as

I was a little surprised that someone I talked to last night hadn't heard of this amazing service, and even more surprised that I hadn't blogged about this before. If you have a router at home - and surely most of my audience does - you need to

Until today I have been reviewing my gmail spam folder each day or so, and marking all new spam as read when I've reviewed it. Most of the time that works ok, but I've noticed that there are times when I get spam with a presumably deliberately

First, always keep the wrapping, even the little twisty ties that keep the wires tidy. Keep the paperwork and the CD's - and I try to open the tamper-proof stickers with a sharp knife so that I don't rip the paperwork. I'm getting very good

Don't believe anything you read today. I know better, but I still forgot the date and believed Daniel had sold his company . His post was very well done, but I still think my old April Fool's Joke was better. Back in 2005 it was more believable
