I’ve been having an issue with my blog since we upgraded to Community Server 2008. CS2008 uses a new filing system on the server and when posting entries containing images, the new filing system is confusing Live Writer, the result is that old images...
TiGra Networks is having a broadband upgrade this week so we'll be offline for perhaps a day while that happens. We'll be completely off the air for a while and there will be a bit of disruption while we install the new equipment and update our...
I'm proud to announce that Microsoft has renewed my Most Valuable Professional award for 2008/9. Once again my competency is Windows Server System - Small Business Server. There are currently (as of today, according to the MVP web site) about 55 such...
Move over Minesweeper! I received a link to this from my MVP lead and I'm hooked, despite the blatant advertising. The cleverly done retro-chic "plinky plonky" music, chunky graphics and office politics takes me straight back to the early...
My ClustrMap has just been archived, which means that my site usage will look a bit empty for a little while until you all pay me a visit. ClustrMaps does this annually to stop the image turning into a read smear. I've suggested to the team at ClustrMaps...
Our blog/forum/file/photo gallery server, based on Telligent Systems' Community Server , has just been upgraded to Community Server 2008. We had a few initial teething problems that seem to have been caused by outdated/missing binaries in the Upgrade...
Today is Wales' day. I've lived here since 1981, a total of 27 years, so although I was born English I feel a little bit Welsh now. I think they will forgive me if I wish you all a happy Saint David's Day . Have a pint of Brains Dark in our...
I attended a seminar a few days ago that explored current and emerging uses of technology and communications in business. The event was hosted by Rhondda Cynon Taff Business Club . There was a presentation by Light Age Communications on what's currently...
I've spent most of today at the London Hilton attending Microsoft's partner pre-launch for servers & tools. Grace and I were lucky enough to get a front row seat just 6ft away from Bill Gates as he gave the keynote speech and held a Q&A...
A funny thing happened today. I was installing AsteriskNow (a VOIP virtual PBX based on Linux) in a virtual machine within Virtual Server. I was viewing the virtual machine's console within the Virtual Server web application (using the VMRC component...
As my caving friends sometimes say to me, "I've been a long time dead". Having fixed up my mountain bike last week, I finally took it for a tentative test drive today, a staggering 1.2 miles. Not as hard as I expected, either, though 1.2 miles is not...
No-one would have believed, in the last years of the twentieth century, I was a fit, active outdoors person. My passions were caving and cycling. Then I injured my knee while caving and moved to America, land of the hamburger. Since then I've been on...
Answer: when it is free software . A few days ago I wrote about "free software" and said that I disliked the terminology. An article on the IMPACT blog looks at the rise of open source software and I'm pleased to note that they also consider the name...
I love geology, especially the messy, dangerous kind. I'm just fascinated by the processes and effects of our planet going through its normal cycles. Of course these things happen on such a large timescale that we often only notice the rare remarkable...
