For those on twitter, you may have noticed that my latest posts look a bit different to my old ones. I’ve finally made the decision to move my blog across to WordPress (event though I’ve had an account for 6 months). I’ve updated my feedburner feed to
A couple of weeks back I released a new version of VMC Remote. This new version may not look different, but it definitely acts different. Under the covers I've changed a lot of the way the remote functions in order to allow for multiple connection and
One thing that's annoyed me for years when using SQL Server 2005 was that there are many inconsistencies in the UI. You'd think that the most obvious of these would be fixed in subsequent releases... The most obvious one that I've always noticed is the
On Tuesday I had the pleasure of attending Remix 08 in Sydney. The day really started on a high with the keynote. It opened with a video that showed off a few cool applications that have been developed in Australia using some of the latest Microsoft technologies
Over the past couple of months I've put a fair few hours into a little side project of mine. The purpose of the project was to create a remote control for Vista Media Center PCs that would run on Windows Mobiles. I'm happy to announce that I've finally
I started working for a new client a couple of weeks ago. This client provides a customised solution for PowerPoint with many weird and wonderful functions. Part of the work I'm doing here is helping them migrate their solution to work with PowerPoint

I'm famous: http://blogs.technet.com/itproaustralia/archive/2008/03/06/technet-vodcast-of-the-sydney-heroes-happen-2008-event.aspx Watch out for the good looking guy at the end... :-p I had a great time the other day at the launch event. It was great
I managed to download and install IE8 today, after hearing it was available from the Microsoft web site. The overall setup experience was quite painless, and it managed to keep all my settings from IE7. The first page that loads after installing introduces
Scott Hanselman posted about some cool Visual Studio themes so I thought I'd put mine out there. As you can see, it's the simple white-on-black. It uses blue class names, purple strings, orange key words, and yellow highlighting. One of the things that
I was considering getting a KVM the other day, but stumbled across an open source application named Synergy . It's a pretty nifty little app that lets you share a keyboard and mouse across two or more machines. This means that I can have my laptop sitting
It seems to be a growing trend to decentralise your online services nowadays. In particular, everyone is moving away from these self-hosted environments and moving towards popular services such as Flickr and Wordpress , and Live Spaces . I've only recently
Today was my first day presenting at RDN . It also marked my second and third user group presentations ever. I can quite safely say that I am one of the least presented members of the Readify team, which is the main reason I took up the challenge of presenting
For a little while now I've noticed my back pain has been getting worse and I think it's a result of leaning in close to my laptop to try get on eye level with it. So I bought one of these Alto Cordless gadgets on the weekend for my desk at work. My overall
