This is really mean, and I am probably going straight to hades for putting it on the web for all to see, but it is funny enough (and I'm mean-spirited enough) that I am going to do it anyway. We are sitting in a knowledge-sharing session concerning

Recently I switched my home ISP to AT&T from Comcast, and as a result, my free subscription to McAfee products was revoked and I was granted a subscription to Norton/Symantec instead. Generally speaking, I am the kind of user who watches my process

It seems so obvious now, but in searching around for help with some video editing stuff I am working with tonight, I came across something that made me slap my forehead like John L Smith during a press conference. You can do a binary concatenation of

I recently joined the iPod set, getting myself an 80GB video iPod. In short -- I love it. I have an older Rio MP3 player that I can put a SD card in that will still get used for running and whatnot, but the iPod is quickly becoming a go-everywhere, gotta

If you already are familiar with the concept of an AppDomain, perhaps this is uninteresting to you. I had never used them, and they are a powerful construct that I think should be highlighted, so I am posting this, even though people who use Reflection

If you use virtual server at all, and have a need to control your VM states on a schedule or based on events, you'll find these script references handy. We are trying to make better use of VM Images for tasks like builds and other repeatable events

I've been tinkering with Vista RC1, and specifically IIS 7.0, and have found a bunch of cool stuff, and some confusing stuff. The most important thing to note about all of the comments I am about to make is that I purposely did NOT install IIS 6.0

We're now at Community Server 2.1 and all appears to be running smoothly. I will probably put my blog back as the redirect off http://www.chrisoverbeek.com/ as I liked it better that way. Dissenting opinions will be summarily discarded.

I am testing out posting using a new utility from Microsoft called Windows Live Writer. It is a pretty nifty little post crafting utility that will let me write up a post offline, then sync it to the site. Obviously, I could always do that by writing

I have attempted an upgrade to version 2.0 of community server at chrisoverbeek.com. Lots of stuff isn't lining up quite right yet, but it should be working, somewhat. Let me know what's broke (other than the galleries, which are all hosed...)

Here's an interesting one: I usually have a dual monitor setup on my desk, and I often have my Outlook client running maximized on one, (which is where I do most of my work), while I generally use the other for opening programs, and or as my workspace

I've installed the Office 2007 Beta 2, and so far, I like it a lot. Outlook 2007 seems really nice. I had been saying for a while that I though outlook should include aggregation functionality -- one-stop shopping for all of my incoming communication.

Well, we've pretty much exhausted all of the scenarios we can test without moving to bigger hardware, or possibly without getting different builds from the team. We are in the process of trying to rewrite the calc script in the most optimal way possible,

Well, we've been running tests for a few days, and although the results aren't as good as I hoped, we're making good progress and getting quality feedback from the team. Unfortunately, there is still a ways to go to get our stuff to a point where we have

Well, after one full day of work, we have only been able to capture a couple of traces of runs through our test script, and spent a lot of time looking at problems totally unrelated to our product or the tests we want to run. This morning, I helped Mike
