Google released a calendar synchronization tool a while back and today i thought i’d give it a spin. Well, it turns out things aren’t that easy (with beta software). When installing the sync tool, the installer kindly informed me that i should close Outlook before proceeding. I closed Outlook and told the [...]

I am running a connector from Outlook to MSN/Live Messenger so that i can read ignore my Live Hotmail both over the web and on my Outlook. But alas, there was a bug.
One fine day i saw that most of my hotmail contacts existed in duplicates. Pedantic as i am, i went and deleted [...]

At work, we’ve been wondering for some time how the contents of some Outlook event information marked private can become visible to somebody who you’re sharing calendar information as read-only, a common practice at our company. My colleague found an interesting tidbit in the Outlook help files today:
 Important   You should not rely on the Private feature [...]

On my work computer (the one with Windows :)), i usually play my music using iTunes or Winamp (due to their scrobbling capabilities) and as a test, i installed Jajuk (because of its network qualities, and because i’m a geek). Everythings been nice and fine. 
The other day, i stumbled across SF-Anytime, an online movie rental site supposedly [...]

Vi har en hel del tomtar på jobbet, men inte bara i juletider utan året om.  Tomtarna är i regel ena skojare och brukar tycka om att flytta på saker. En av de vanliga tomtarna är installations-CD-tomten som nu senast har burit iväg med Visual Studio 2003-skivan.  Ofta far oxå MS Office-skivan på tomtens väg.
Mitt [...]

I caught the new looks of Microsoft Office on Nicke’s blog (and through that, at Jensen Harris’). Nicke wrote about the release of Microsoft’s Origami –essentially a smaller Tablet PC, or a larger PDA, whichever way you wanted to look at it (and i too want one) — a few days ago but i was [...]

The first beta of Windows Live was released to the public yesterday. That’s as much as i can say with certainty, since WL does not (yet) work with Firefox. Nor does it work with Konqueror, but i am not surprised. Windows on Linux? From Redmond? That’ll be the day. The press is bablbing incoherently, but [...]

On a laptop from the second half of the last millennium, i run Linux. It is a Compaq Pressario 1700, it’s small enough, light enough, and the battery sucks. My system info reports it is running on 1.1GHz and ½GB of memory. Kudos to the Australian government for borrowing it to me while i’m here. [...]

Whoa! I’ve just experienced my first earthquake!
Yesterday evening, i was rained in at the office, praying that the electricity would not go out and chatting over the ‘net with a friend and colleague i Finland (hi, krisku!) when everything started to vibrate. It didn’t take a genius to realize what was happening, but what [...]

Recap time. I haven’t written much of what’s happened down here in a while. For a while. In some time. Whatever. In no particular order.
Emma
Not long after i whined about what guitar i should get, i went out and bought the sunburst Stratacoustic for three hundred USDs, bag included. I named the guitar Emma, [...]
