A tip, a tool and a book

The Tip: If your mouse has thumb buttons, they are usually mapped (by default) to "back" and "forward" in IE. Change those to PgUp and PgDown, and give it a test drive in Visual Studio. I never noticed how much of my development time was being spent on

Out-Googling Google

One of the things I like best about Google is their clean, elegant and functional UIs. Microsoft's web offerings always seem to be a step (or three) behind, or so I thought before running across http://www.start.com/1/ Once again the folks at MSN prove

Is Gmail ramping up for a release?

What does a petabyte of data look like?

Today I saw my first petabyte system. A SAN composed of multiple cabinets, each one with 225 disks of 360GB each. Wow. Even more impressive was the size of it all - it could easily fit into the kitchen of my tiny Manhattan apartment. Any bets how long

FireFox ate my cat!

Actually, it was my Linksys wireless router. And maybe "ate" isn't the most accurate description of what happened. But it was a pretty weird coincidence that my router keeled over and died (complete with nasty burnt plastic smell) just as I opened FireFox

Seattle is a Bloggers Mecca

Thanks to Walt Ritscher for letting me know about tonight's blogger meeting and giving me a ride there and back. The event itself was geeky beyond belief - when I got there two guys were sharing a OneNote document on their tablets over the wireless network

Human Workflow Services (HWS) - Just say no

In my Biztalk projects, I had several scenarios which sounded like a great fit for HWS. I spent a fair amount of time and effort but could never get HWS to cooperate. After a while I just gave up on it and advised customers to use standard Biztalk orchestrations

[OT] The ultimate BackDoor

While browsing a slashdot article (" Programmer Built Vote-Rigging Demo for Florida Politician ") I found a link to this brilliant backdoor : Ken Thompson 's 1983 Turing Award lecture to the ACM revealed the existence of a back door in early Unix versions
