How to get rid of that *@#$@#$ annoying language bar in XP

Great post on developing software
On the windows mobile team's blog . I hope that whoever is quoted in this eweek article saying that public folder access to OWA "must be like just 20 lines of code" reads it. Read More...

Words to live by: "Start with the little dragons"
As I stepped off the elevator this morning, a coworker shared those words with me. "When you're slaying dragons, start with the little ones." He tells his kids every morning that he's off to slay some dragons. He likes to start with the little ones, because Read More...

The picture in the last post is a still from our ultrasound at 20 weeks. We also got a video (on this kind of oblong thing, they called it "VHS" but it wouldn't fit into our DVD player), which a coworker graciously converted into a DVD for me. The DVD Read More...
Search my archives
I set up a search box on the left, following David's instructions . I tried to use MSN, but MSN apparently doesn't support the 'inurl' keyword which I wanted to use in order to restrict the search results to my blog instead of including my comments on Read More...
Convert windows movie maker's DV Type-1 to Type-2
I swap back and forth between Windows Movie Maker & Pinnacle Studio 8 for video editing depending on my editing needs and mood. Movie Maker is nice because it's on every machine I use, so I will often capture the video on one machine but edit it on Read More...

This is a common topic on the blogosphere for people pasting in content from other blogs, pieces of code, etc - how do you strip all the formatting? I've seen pointers to various tools to do this over the last few months, but I have a new favorite one Read More...
Something to try if your laptop screen regularly goes black and won't turn on
I have been suffering with this problem on my Toshiba Tablet m200 for quite some time, and finally took the initiative to research the issue. At first I thought I was the only one dealing with this so I figured it was hardware specific, but when I asked Read More...
