I just found the reason why I’m going to slap down almost $200 bucks for VMWare Workstation over Virtual PC: Unity. I am using a coworkers VM to help on a project he’s been working on, but he uses VMWare and I use Virtual PC. Instead of buy a license I’m using VMWare Player . Well I...

People give Microsoft Outlook a lot of crap, but if you're willing to think outside the box, you'll realize they did all the little things that make life easy. For instance, I rarely use the calendar popup for creating new appointments. No, if I have a meeting next Wednesday, I type " next...

I found this tool about 5 years ago and then lost it during a job move. I've been looking for it ever since and finally found it through StumbleUpon today. Most will find it a little annoying and kind of stupid, but it was great when I stuck with it. WorkRave is a little status tray application that...

There is a pretty cool, but curiously quiet, CodePlex project called XamlXporter that allows you to export Adobe Illustrator files/resources to WPF files. This is a great thing since WPF is young and there are a lot of free resources and tutorials for Adobe Illustrator out there, as well as, you will...

The other day I happened upon the Firefox Add-On page and decided to give the recommended Add-On a try. I've been infatuated ever since. Though there's an inordinate number of buttons on the default toolbar layout, StumbleUpon is pretty simple: You/others browse the web and when you find something...

I'm not entirely sure what to think of Google Gears . It seems most people are focusing on the Database portion of the stack, but it's the LocalServer portion that has me confused. Does this not reek of complexity and severe duplication? After first reading through the LocalServer Overview I...

Every now and again I find a tool that changes my life. Baretail is just such a tool. I don't know what I did before, but it couldn't have been good. Baretail is a log file reader/watcher that trails the end of your log files. This may not be too exciting for you, but here in the Speedy Rewards...

For those that are trying to package and deploy the SQL Reporting Services 2000 Designer tools, there is a little bug in the documentation. It states that in order to include the Reporting Service Books Online feature, you should use the setting RS_BooksOnline_ as an ADDLOCAL parameter value. In fact...

This week the Windows Live group released an update to the Windows Live Messenger Beta (MSN Messenger 8.0). There were a couple of major things with the initial release that I reported and they seem to have been resolved. If you'd like to give it a chance, I have a few new invites that I can give...

As I mentioned yesterday, I received my Windows Live Mail beta invitation and I've begun using it full time. It's definitely a functional beta and I must say it's much quicker than it's predecessor, but I'm very glad this is not a completely open beta. It's pretty unpolished at this point and there are...

I received my invitation to Windows LIve Mail ( Hotmail Kahuna ) today! This on top of the Windows Live Messenger invite I received last week make me believe this first quarter is going to be an exciting one to watch. I have yet to really dig into this new Hotmail release, but rest assured I will let...

I have 3 invites left for Windows Live Messenger and so I'll follow the lead from which I receive my invite. First 3 emails in the comments will receive an invite. I'll remove your emails shortly there after so you don't get harvested.

I recently got in on the Windows Live Messenger Beta courtesy of Jan Tielen's and I've got to say, I'm a little sceptical. The real difference is in the interface, not the functionality (how much can you really do with text based chat?). They have tried to create a more impressive interface, but I believe...
