Installed it the other day on the new computer I got for my dad. It’s running quite well, not any issues. When I ran iTune to connect to the Radio (I like streaming radio) the firewall prompted me, asking whether or not I wanted to enable iTunes through to the network (you know, look at [...]

Was just browsing around the MSDN Australia website (actually was at the MSDN Connection website). And noticed that they now have breadcrumb navigation on there! This is one of the new features that will be included with ASP.NET 2.0. It’s quite a useful style of navigation, as it allows the user to know where they [...]

Read it here… This could be quite significant, and will more than likely shape the direction Telstra takes on the 3G front. My only concern would be costs… Data costs for GPRS here in Australia is already way too high. And Telstra is probably making a pretty penny for GPRS/SMS services. We’ll just have to [...]

Something which I forgot to mention from last week’s twilight dev conference was the announcement that XPSP2 RC2 will be out soon (I guess due to timing, they couldn’t release that to us, so they (the Microsoft presenters) tried to make sure everyone who attended received a copy of it.

I saw it crawl my previous blogs a year or so back. Interestingly I found another RSS aggregator called NewsMonster which is a cross-platform aggregator that looks like it [...]

Awesome! A new version of one of my favourite browsers, Mozilla Firefox has just been released. Please note that it is a Release Candidate of 0.9. Though when you are installing you notice it says “0.8″, and in the about section it states “0.8+”. Quite odd, don’t you think? Ah well… Anyway, I saw it [...]

Ok, so I did end up parking at Crown Casino car park. And guess what? It was a 30 minute walk in the “elements” (rain/strong winds) of Melbourne. Nah, it wasn’t too bad, would have been better if I had actually changed shoes (change to my runners, as was initially planned) rather than wearing the [...]

Interesting, a Microsft P2P networking platform. Check it out: threedegrees (3°)
