Beware the Virtual PC undo disk and moving between computers

I've been staging a new set of virtual machines for running my Team Foundation Server demos and stuff. I'm using a Seagate 100GB 7,200 RPM USB 2.0 drive to move between my 64-bit desktop machine at home and my Toshiba laptop from work. In most cases,

Where Art Thou, O Spammer?

I just spent more time than I care to admit cleaning up the comments on blog. I cannot help but laugh at the sheer stupidity of these comments and the endless varations of the "Great article! blah blah blah <insert stupid link here>." Its times

Team Foundation Server Build, Unit Testing and Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Testers vs. Software Developers

After a long session with uninstalling the mishmash of Visual Studio 2005 Team Suite atop Visual Studio 2005 Team Edition for Software Developers, and some quality time in the Registry, \Program Files and AppData, I finally got back to a state where I

64-bit Virtual PC 2007 and 64-bit Windows Vista

I've been running the 64-bit version of Windows Vista RC1 (the Ultimate Edition, of course) on my home machine which is a retail HP a1450n (quite an amazing box for $800, if you ask me.) This was a major step forward for me, as I'm an avid World of Warcraft
