I’ve been interested in Open Source Software (OSS) for quite some time now but I’ve never really attempted to find out much about it, nor how I can contribute. Of course, being a professional developer, the immediate thought is “I make a living off writing software, so how does that work with Open Source?”.
After reading [...]
OK, so it looks like I might have been misinformed (er… wrong :)) by stating that the basic versions of Vista can’t be installed on VMs. That’ll teach me not to read the licencing details properly myself! It looks like it was a slight misunderstanding of the terms and structure that MS used in stating [...]
The Search Kings have come up with another rippin’ tool which allows you to crawl through source code for examples and whatnot. The Google Code Search is quite a cool utility - but it doesn’t come without it’s issues. I found an interesting link worthy of reading which talks about a few amusing results returned [...]
And so the Vista malarky continues! More and more details of the behemoth that is Vista are coming to light which, quite frankly, freak me out even more.
First of all, Microsoft won’t let you run some Vista editions virtualised, which is a bit of a surprise. Why would they push for free Virtual PC software [...]
Just a quick post for you guys this morning. Me ol’ mucka Tommy Lee pointed me at a cool website this morning with a link to YouTube - The Best Honda Commercial Ever. Very cool stuff! Check it out. Apparently, all the sound effects were made by people!

You’ve probably all guessed by now that I’m a bit of a Dilbert fan, especially considering that it feels like a I work with most of those characters!
While browsing through the recent cartoons, I noticed that there was a link to Scott Adam’s Blog which I proceeded to follow and I was greeted with some [...]
Oh look, MS are already starting to cull their software support list. Does anyone else get the feeling that this is just another step towards pushing people into an unwanted early-adoption of Microsoft Handcuffs ™ (a.k.a Vista)?
Yes this is old news to anyone who reads any form of news But Google have bought YouTube! How exciting. Personally, I’m very happy for those lads who set YouTube up in the first place. The idea was based on the need to share some large homes videos of parties with mates who weren’t [...]
The Inquirer has posted up some info on the Microsoft Vista licence restrictions and boy does it sound awful. Not only will it cost you an arm and a leg to buy it, you’ll probably have to upgrade to get it to run, and after you’ve upgraded you’ll probably never be allowed to upgrade again [...]
