  • Longhorn DVD Burning Woes

    I'm trying to install longhorn, but I'm still stuck staring at the ISO.  It turns out that the file's too big for a CD, but not formatted as a DVD ISO that Nero can recognize.  I'd love to be able to make a bootable DVD of it, but I can't seem to force Nero to do what I say.

  • Learning from our mistakes - The Backup Lesson

    While I have faith that a large percentage of the developer community as a whole back up their work machines, or at least the code / content portion of their data, I wonder just how many expend that same effort into their home PC's.  This follows that same adage of the carpenter who takes home the mistake pieces, but sells their quality work.  Today I'm going to reinstall all of my software again onto my HP iPaq 5455. 

  • Javascript Bad Math

    I really wish someone could explain to me how, in javascript, the following calculation happens:

  • MVP Summit "Revealed"

    For those of us wondering just what was revealed about certain technologies at the MVP summit (in this case, windows mobile), PocketPC thoughts gives this article:
