Bugger me. It's time. For the last....many...months, my media centre PC has been sitting on our dining table. Heat constraints meant I had to get it out of the entertainment cabinet, and here it has sat for time immemorial. Ok, not quite that long, but

In the two years since I was last seriously blogging* community server has gone under a few changes - to the point that community server doesn't even seem to exist anymore. Telligent still has products, but they're not for me. Hell, I'd been holding off

For a while now i've been using an iMate JAMin as my phone/pda. It was pretty good, cept for the lack of buttons. It was all touchscreen. I upgraded a few weeks ago. I wanted something that was pretty much the same, but i wanted to be able to type, not

A friend of mine, Tony, from my old job at Telstra, did up a comic last week. I think he was trying to make some sort of point at work :) So anyway, I promised to blog it when I had the chance. And here it is. Click to see it full size. I love it - looking

Well, not that much really. Work is flat out, but fun, so I'm happy :) In the off hours, I've mostly been running my net connection downloading tv shows. Last month (12th December-11th Jan) my 40 gig download limit was used up 5 days before the end, so

Things have been flaky on CrankyGoblin for a while. Some of it has been my fault (dodgy code uploaded to the server :) but a lot had also been flakiness on the part of my provider. I really like having my own web server. I can upload whatever I want (within

I'm a little behind the 8 ball with this (hah! 8, get it? You will...) but a couple of weeks ago Project 8 (see?) came out! I picked it up on the weekend. I got some late nights coming up soon, me think :)

Biztalk 2006 ships with an out of the box adapter that can talk to Sharepoint Services. The only serves two purposes - posting messages (documents) to Sharepoint as part of an orchestration, or receiving messages (documents) into an orchestration from

A lot of people have been talking over the weekend about how they've upgraded to Vista and either had it work without a hitch, or with some very big hitches indeed. My story is mostly boring - a couple of little hitches, but nothing too major. Things

So Office 2007 is out. This is good. This is wonderful. This is scary. To install the RTM version of Office 2007, you must uninstall all the beta versions of it first. Not a problem. Uninstall. But what's going to happen to my email? Oh dear. Update 10

My sister sent me a link to this site last week. It's a riddle site. They're really hard. I love em. I'm currently on level 56, which means I've almost finished all the ones that are there so far. Now I can't sleep. Gah! Die Deb, die! :)

Hmm..I think I'm on a bit of a musical bent today - first EverClear and now BodyCount :) Yesterday I wrote about how GreatNews won over Newzie (which caused Mitch to go back to using Squeet - I'm not sure how that logic path works, but it does - not to

No, that's an EverClear song. So much for the Melbourne Geek Dinner I was going to organise, is what I meant to say. I've been in Melbourne for 4 weeks, as part of an 8 week job I was assigned to. Plenty of time to get things sorted out, right? There

Recently I mentioned that I was giving Outlook 2007 a go as my RSS reader . The result? It's been less than a full week, and I say HELL NO! Some people might like it, but for me all it does really slow outlook down (I know my wife is having no troubles,

This is quite neat. When the non-RTM builds of IE7 were floating around, you had the opportunity to write your own search providers for your website (or other sites) if you couldn't find one already. I went through the effort of writing one (ok, so it
