The return of Digital Media Core

I've been working on a few Digital Media Core articles lately (ripping DVDs, Media Center Extenders specifically) and will hopefully have those up soon. I know it's been awhile. I've tested all three of the modern (i.e. Vista-class) Extenders that are currently available, but I'm curious...

Site work, part deux

In keeping with yesterday's post about work on the site design , I made a few small changes today.... The What I Use page was finally updated (I had done this mostly a month ago but there was a screwy formatting problem). I also updated the Windows and Cloud Computing activity centers (from a content...

Site work

In what I should obviously admit to myself will be a never-ending ongoing process, I'm going to spend a bit of time working on the site layout and design this week. I kind of like the way the site looks now, but I think I'm going to change it to a fixed width and, sometime down the road, do something...

XP with SP3 slipstreaming, part 971 (Updated)

So I've been spending in inordinate amount of time creating slipstreamed XP with SP3 discs lately. (See my previous post, Preliminary Windows XP Service Pack 3 slipstreaming guide , for more info.) It's not really the way I want to spend my time, but what the heck. I do want to get it right....

Airline Travel: Your source for regurgitated blog posts ... or something

I've gotten a lot of questions about the "pingback" stuff in my blog's Comments sections. I'm not a Community Server expert, but I'd love to know how to prevent them from appearing. If you do know, please, drop me a note. In any event, one of the weirdest and most common pingbacks...

Windows Live Writer

I've been using Windows Live Writer to post the past several blog entries and ... yeah. Yeah, it's good. I would have begun using it long ago, but we had a mis-configuration in Community Server. The tech gods at Penton cleared that up this week and ... ta da! ... it works just fine. This is important...
