Still no news on when a version of Team Foundation Server (TFS) will be available supporting a single tier installation on the 64-bit processor platform. Word from a trusted Microsoft source is that it’s in the works, but no defined timeline.. It’s worth noting that an x64 platform can […]

I’ve been stationed at the same desk (in a hot desking environment) for about a year or more now. I like it, and am not complaining.. In fact, I’d not be able to share this humorous story with you otherwise… As I sit in the same location, I’ve had […]
It’s nice to see that mature languages are still included in the MSDN Library.. Interestingly enough, I couldn’t find it in the filter list (see below) Haven’t done any ASM work since 2002 (anti virus) and even that was pretty limited. From memory, I think I was […]
I don’t know if you’ve ever been to New York City in the United States, but doubtless you’ve at least seen it on TV or in a movie. In New York stands the Statue of Liberty, a gift from the French government to the United States in friendship – as […]
Lets take time out to talk about the very tech/geeky topic of enums (enumerators). They can be fun, and also quite frustrating. Apologies in advance, I only do code samples in C# or C++. I might do Visual Basic examples, by request. Here are the Australian states listed […]
Happy Yuletide! Christmas is a funny thing. For one, it’s placement at the top of the Christian events calender is precarious, since it has such pagan roots. In many circles December has significance, and for that we can take pause to reflect on how it has become such a […]
The persistence of time can be easily summarised as such: Read (the past), Read/Write (the present) and Write (the future). Since we have no proof to oppose this statement, we can say that the past is "read only", in essence, it can’t be changed. What is done is done. […]
Some say, ‘do it for the kids’. Not a bad idea. So why not bid on this little gem of an auction at eBay.. Reckon it’s worth a few dollars for 6 beers and cheese, plus a hit on the nets. The location is in Canberra, but it’s […]
Reading over at slashdot yesterday I couldn’t help but stumble onto this little gem from way over yonder (the UK, where they must be sick of watching the Ashes highlights). Evidently, I am not alone in being critical of the ever-extending copyright laws, and in the UK they’ve all […]
Wow. The Wallabies beat a team they should have. Let us rejoice. It’s really quite funny. We had our air conditioning fixed last week, and the repairman (Ray) and I started talking Union. He asked me who I’d rate at what position in the current team. Irony? The team that […]
Less than a week ago, finally on DVD, the Crowded House farewell concert was released. It was worth the wait! The entire concert was re-cut for widescreen viewing, and a brand new DTS audio track was mixed. This, a two disc set, also contains three documentaries including original TV […]
Okay, so I had some amusing conversations about my post on copyright laws; but first.. One of the main bits of feedback I received was that if I write about more controversial topics I might gain a greater reader following. To heck with that, I’m still gonna write about inane […]
Here are two recent photos I’ve taken. The first is of the historic Queen Victoria Building in the city. We stopped here a little while ago and had coffee and snacks with friends (Trish, Paul and Uzuri) after dining at the David Jones Food Hall on Market Street. […]
Windows Mobile Device Center (Beta 3 Release) for Windows Vista RC1 This is also under a new category, Mobility Musings (I get bored, so I invent categories, can you blame me?). It’s my understanding that Windows Vista is supposed to allow synchronization ‘out-of-the-box’* with Windows Mobile devices, but I waited until after […]
Welcome to the first publication under the category "Free Stuff". I’ve created this category as a way to publish information about, you guessed it, stuff that is free. Occasionally I run into various websites or information about free content, so I’ll post it up here. So, in that […]
