Today marks a sad day, I’ve let two long-held domains expire. I’ve held one of these two domains for almost 13 years, since 1999 when I first registered the Business Name Sanders Technology (to which this site is still named). The two domains, rob.sanders.name and sanderstechnology.com.au became obsolete for my […]
Welcome back to ‘Adventures in Home Networking’ – Part 2. Recently, due to changes in our household, we were forced to consider making some physical changes to the way the house was set up. A decision was reached to move my home office into one of the bedrooms, so that […]
Recently, I’ve had no end of hassles activating valid copies of Windows – be it Windows 7 or Windows Server 2008 R2. At first, I thought it was perhaps the result of a “usual” cause – network connectivity, blocked ports or so on. To begin – a recap. I installed […]
Introduction Following on from the previous article, where I installed the Visual Studio 11 Release Candidate on a Windows 8 Release Candidate, I’m now going to step through the process to set up a complimentary ALM capability – Team Foundation Server 2012 (Release Candidate). As per the previous article, links […]
Today I installed the new Windows 8 Release Candidate build into a virtual client. The installation procedure was more or less identical to the installation experience for the Windows 8 Consumer Preview, so I won’t go into detail on how that works. My main intent was to view the differences […]
Today was a big day if you happen to enjoy Release Candidate builds from Microsoft. Not only did we see the RC release of both Windows 8 and Windows Server 2012 (and Hyper-V Server), but it also coincided with the release of RC editions of the Visual Studio 11 developer […]
..are you there? This is somewhat of an unusual post. A good friend and former colleague of mine is setting her sights on the great city of San Francisco.. and it’s a great opportunity for a good company located there to acquire her services. In 2007 I was lucky enough […]
Just came across this – the entire Wolfenstein 3D (Chapters 1-3, there were 6 originally) which you can play in your browser. The game is complete with the original sound effects and music, plus the levels and secret passages you may or may not have loved. You can even keyboard […]
Hi All, Just a quick entry to recommend a really great article over on WindowsITPro.com about the upcoming release of Windows 8 Server and the revamped Hyper-V role. I had a conversation recently with Microsoft’s Grant Holliday (of TFS Guru fame) and he mentioned in passing that the new edition […]
Well hello there. Today I had a funny notion, wanting to determine just how long I’ve been writing technical blog articles. Don’t ask me why, I just became curious. So I had a look at my earliest entry – 17 October 2006. Well, you might think this is old enough […]
Earlier this month some very useful guidance documentation was published on Codeplex. The topic? Build and versioning guidance, from Microsoft’s ALM Rangers group. The guides are broken down into a number of PDF files. In the main documentation archive (which you can download from Codeplex) are a number of files: […]
There’s been a bit of slowdown in composing some new articles for the site.. despite the seriously large number of things to write about. This year has seen SQL Server 2012 go RTM, and the early pre-release candidates for both Windows 8 and Windows 8 Server. On the agenda are […]
Quest Mode = On Today is April 1st, and (as always) it is April Fool’s Day. Google unleashed an awesome “Quest” mode on Google Maps, and for those who grew up in the 1980s this will appear quite familiar. King’s Quest time anyone?? I’ve lifted some screenshots of some interesting […]
