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...
Remember Clippy? Remember Office XP? It seems like the biggest selling point of Office XP is that Microsoft took away Clippy. Those office assistants were a pretty neat idea at the time, but are now regarded scornfully. How times change. I was cleaning...
I saw this on Sean Daniel's blog - classic. Have you ever wondered what Microsoft people get up to while they are waiting for their LiveMeeting to start?
Are you sitting comfortably? Then I will begin. I've had fun migrating one particular company to a new server recently. It started out before Christmas as a simple redeployment swing migration, but what I didn't know when I started the job is...
There are three types of mathematicians. Those who can add up, and those who can't. To see which type you are, open Microsoft Excel 2007 and type this formula: =77.1*850 Now try the same thing on your pocket calculator or abacus. [ UPDATE 9 October...
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...
Susan B mentions Dean Calvert and his Vegemite Croissants and gives a link to where you can purchase the product, however I would like to propose that you try an alternative but similar product, Marmite . Don't think these products are equivalent...
Apple Safari for Windows: The world's slowest web browser - Joel on Software Joel Spolsky is someone whose writings I respect greatly, but I had to chuckle when I read Joel's latest blog post - it started well but then sort of got away from him...
There are only three types of people: those who can count and those who can't. According to LinkedIn. To be fair to LinkedIn, this condition only persisted for a few minutes. On a more serious note, I've been playing around with LinkedIn for a few months...
All is now revealed. This highly magnified interactive reveals what goes on beneath your mouse cursor. Don't forget to click!
I recently worked through a technical support issue using the SBSC managed newsgroups. Today I received an email that asked me to complete a customer satisfaction survey. Although I was very happy with the results, I couldn't resist poking fun at the...
I've been getting used to using Windows Vista on my tablet PC, so that when I go back to my Windows XP development workstation I suddenly miss all the bells and whistles of Vista. I was wondering what people would miss if their Vista were taken away and...
You can blame Chris Parkes for this (who in turn blames John Westworth ). Hmm, nice blog, John! Your results: You are Superman Superman 80% Green Lantern 75% Supergirl 67% Robin 67% Spider-Man 65% Iron Man 60% Hulk 55% The Flash 50% Catwoman 45% Wonder...
I really love this blog - The Daily WTF . It is full of amusing anecdotes that really happened - perversions in information technology so strange that it would be funny if it wasn't sad. It has something of a developer slant but most IT people will apreciate...
I've just seen this video that really rivals the display at Bellagio on the Las Vegas Strip and uses no electricity! http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=-274981837129821058 This has to be the most wonderful and spectacular waste of time I have seen...
