Vista Mobile Device Center


One thing I loved, with the update of Media Player 11 and ActiveSync 4.2, on my phone (Windows Mobile 5.0 - Orange SPV M3100) with Windows XP was that it detected that I had a 1gb SD card and added it to the sync devices of Media Player. This allowed me to download my Channel9 and DotNetRocks podcasts and sync them with my phone on a daily basis. I just could not be bothered to sync them manually before.

Time That Task VSTS Check-In Policy


An interesting policy for TFS.

Deploying Team Server


This seems like the best solution where TFS is concerned. That way I can run Reporting Services on the DB box and negate the extra licence that is required on a separate RS box. It all costs money!

Visual Studio SP1 and Team System SP1 are Released!


I have been waiting for this for a while and Brian Harry has some comments and notes on the topic. I will be installing this as soon as its mammoth 450mb download completes.

Ahhh, the fun of deploying Team System in a large corporation


I can see that this project is going to be fun. I need to deploy team system within the investment bank that I work for.

Windows Live Writer


Just got myself setup on this new tool called Windows Live Writer which allows me to write my blog offline and then publish my content. I think that a mobile edition for my pocket PC would be good!
