Microsoft Update... very nice!

I'm not one to browse the “regular” pages of the Microsoft site, but I happened to go to the Windows XP home page just to see if there's anything new I'm not aware of yet. Luckily I did! I see that Microsoft has launched “Microsoft Update”... which was talked about at DevDays...

Windows Messenger... oops!

I've just tried to uninstall Windows Messenger from my Windows XP computer, but it seems it's impossible to remove it! What the hell?!?! It's a selectable component of Windows XP when you go to add or remove Windows components, but it doesn't actually make a difference! The only real difference is that...

More on Customer Service and General Incompetence

I've absolutely had it with South African telecommunications companies! I can't stand how incompetent they are! Yes, I'm generalising... there are a few individuals (which I'm sure can be counted on one hand) who are very good at what they do. But it seems that everyone who has to deal with the customers...

Who is to blame for shoddy customer service???

Beware... ranting ahead: I've recently been looking at buying a new cellphone, because my current phone is driving me insane. I bought a phone (no brands mentioned), which has since inspired me to never waste my money on another phone by that manufacturer ever again. From now on I will only ever buy...

Microsoft Updates

I'm busy downloading updates for Windows and Office, and realised that this is actually now a monthly routine (despite me checking once a week out of habit). Now, considering all the issues we South Africans have with Internet access, I was wondering whether the thought had been entertained somewhere...

Cruise Photos

Ok... I got back a while ago, but I've only just had a chance now to upload some photos from the cruise . I've also made the difficult decision of changing jobs. I'm leaving GFC in mid-January and will be working at Derivco from 17th. It wasn't the easiest decision to make, because I really enjoy working...

Jus' Cruisin'

I'm off on a bit of a break for the next few days. If anyone needs me, this is where I'll be: So for those of you that'll be at work on Monday & Tuesday... just think of me sailing into the sunset (hopefully not in the middle of a cyclone)!

Another one lost to Firefox

I'm generally not one to follow the crowds. I prefer to have a good reason for doing something, which is why I hadn't yet moved across to Firefox. I didn't really see any major issue with using IE, and I don't think it's a bad browser. I still like the browser, and haven't really had any clear problems...

Awesome little tool: Desktop Sidebar

For those of you that like this sort of thing... I just found a little utility called Desktop Sidebar that looks very similar to the sidebar available in Longhorn. It's about 9MB to download but from what I've seen so far, it's really really nice! It does all your RSS aggregation and has links for other...

Microsoft Partner Pack for Windows (demonstrating the power behind .NET)

Microsoft has just released the Partner Pack for Windows , which is a bunch of applications, all ported to managed code in various languages (C#, C++, J#, etc.). Some of them are really useful and it's definitely worth taking a look. I'm sure I'll be a fan of the Post-It app (just a digital version of...
