    Fun New toys? Or hideous waste of time?
    New DVD's in the mail last night from the Microsoft Partner Program - including two that I've left on the desk staring at me. Microsoft Office Enterprise 2007 Microsoft Windows Vista Upgrade Business They're just sitting there, all shiny and Read More...
    My boss's boss?
    I'm taking a risk here openly h aranguing the boss' boss, but what the hell. I'm all for experimentation (but not with farm animals kids) but Scott W's blog experiment is sucking for me. You may not have seen it, but http://me.scottwater.com Read More...

    Bloggers are good for my soul
    Well, kinda. I work remotely, so I tend to talk to myself a lot. And you of course. And since I don't get out much, and when I do the car radio seems to play the same top 10 hits over and over - and over, how am I ever supposed to find new music? Read More...
    An alternative to using RadioButtons in a Repeater
    I guess it's quite rare, but today I needed to have a list of radio buttons with a bunch of other controls on the same line as the buttons. So, without thinking I put a RadioButton control inside a Repeater and bound it to my database. You may already Read More...
    Floodle...
    I've seen a few posts about Floodle recently - Jason was the most recent . But (putting aside how amazing or crappy these 'products' are) isn't this illegal? Does he just target the crappy ones? cos if I was selling something on ebay and Read More...
    Back to 3 monitors at last
    After my 3rd screen died a few months back I've been missing my 'outlook' screen. Bestbuy fixed that last night with a special deal - and the fact that i have a big box of cables helped too. Apparently cables are optional nowadays; my new Read More...
    I made a mistake many years ago..
    ..and I'm now paying for it big time. I'm not the only one either - when I bought shawthing.com and started using that as my email address I decided to be smart and use the "nobody" (catch-all) address rather than setup lots of different Read More...
    I still like Blockbuster, but they suck today
    I'm just going to get this over quickly cos I'm pissed off. Last week I rented a movie and it wouldn't play - my DVD player wouldn't even recognize there was a DVD. So I took it back to my local store, and reported online that the DVD Read More...

    Alienware computers "officially dead" after 22 months
    Steve Smith documents a strange admission by Alienware that his top-of-the-line laptop is "End-Of-Life" after 22 months. How much do you want to bet that he unexpectedly gets a different response once Dell sees this rippling through tech blogs. Read More...
    Sorry I forgot about you..
    Someone just reminded me that I had left a bunch of people subscribed over on my old blog at CoverYourASP.NET. Sorry. I've now permenantly redirected the old RSS feed(s) to this site so you can catch up. Luckily it only took a few minutes because Read More...
    5 things about me
    I almost got away with it; this morning I figured that if I hadn't got tagged by this meme by now I missed it - but it wasn't to be. ScottW got me . I don't think it's a rule that the five things have to be embarrassing things, but it Read More...
