More power, more power!

If a health and safety person was to visit the room I'm in @ the moment they'd probably have a cornary! I'm preparing for my talks @ the Dutch launch event and am joined by the other speakers. The room is small. We have MUCH kit! Wires everywhere. I brought

Beware - Cookies are addictive!

I picked up a couple of packets of cookies whilst in France to share with my colleagues. A few minutes ago I opened up both packets (one chocolate and one plain) and sent an email out to the department asking people to help themseleves. It's a good thing

The Security Guard's face was a picture when I arrived at work on a skateboard!

It's a beautiful Summer's day in England today and like many people I made the most of my lunch break by heading outdoors. I needed to pick something up from a shop that's about a five minute drive from our office so I decided to use an unusual means

This made me smile - book publisher steals Google laptops

I'm not advocating stealing as an acceptable behaviour before anyone asks! The Register posted a story about the CEO of a book publisher (Richard Charkin) and colleague stealing a couple of laptops from a Google stand. The machines weren't actually taken

How to support freedom of choice for open standards

As James eloquently described in his post titled " Sign-up for freedom of choice " we're looking for your support for OpenXML to be adopted as an ISO standard. It's an open XML based standard used to describe Office documents. As is often the case there's

The Playstation 3 is a Monster - a VERY hungry one!

Apparently the Sony Playstation 3 consumes up to 380 watts of power according to a review in the current T3 technology magazine. I can't help wondering how big the power supply unit is as the XBox 360's one is huge - it's rated @ 1/2 the power consumption

Why does this have to be so hard - I just want to book a flight!

Microsoft has a wonderful "self help" culture whereby employees are easily able to directly access services online. Sadly there is a brand new system that isn't any where near as easy to use as it should be. The reason for writing this post is to encourage

I'm unplugging from the Matrix for the next week

I'm going board riding for the next week. I'm going to unplug. No email. No blogging. No TV - though that's not a hardship in the USA for me. Minimal electronic use - I'm allowing myself to use my camera. Time to reflect. No distractions. Me time. Last

Roll up roll up - free wireless hotspot access at T-mobile coffee locations for all Vista users

Bizarrely I bumped into Jason @ a famous Seattle based coffee establishment earlier today between technical sessions @ the conference we're both participating in. He mentioned that T-Mobile hotspots are giving free wireless access to all Vista machines

I like this - Wikipedia Explorer - a nice WPF application

Thanks to James Senior for blogging about Wikipedia Explorer - you can download it for yourself here . It's a cool application as it provides the means to visually navigate Wikipedia using a very pretty Windows Presentation Foundation based interface.

Would you like a free Suunto N3 SPOT watch? I have one which I'll give to the first person who's able to pick it up from me in Seattle

I have a single Suunto N3 SPOT watch which I'd like to give away - the only catch is that if you'd like it then you'll have to pick it up from me in downtown Seattle. The first person who's able to physically pick it up from me can have it. The reason

Check out the following scene from "Extras" - make sure you watch it to the end - it's only 3 minutes.

I love the Punn - this really is mobile

I was tempted to touch up the picture and add a wheel clamp to make it somewhat less mobile or possibly make it appear to be being transported by break down truck. The car enthusiasts amongst you may note that this Mini is supercharged too hence it exhibits
