Scoble has an interesting and amusing article about all those people who hate Microsoft. Apparently Microsoft want people to blog and talk in newsgroups about their hated things in Longhorn so that Microsoft get a chance to address the issues before the software ships.
Seybold has a great slideshow introduction to RSS formats which explains in simple terms the makeup of the different formats of RSS feeds and what is required/optional in each format. Wish I’d seen it before doing my Comic feeds (and I can now confidently state they are in 0.91 format)
We’ve booked two nights at Ohio’s Getaway Cabins, Log Cabin Rentals in Hocking Hills which looks really neat. I also did a google search to see if anyone had stayed at these cabins and what their impressions were. Micah and Susan had stayed at one of the cabins and looking through their photos it looks like there is loads to do and theres always the hottub if required! Their photos are really good too so I’m looking forward to getting some good pictures when we go.
Clear Blue Skies is organising a flash blog – where everyone descends on a blog and posts comments on it in a particular theme. Just hope that this doesn’t get any bloggers kicked off their server for excessive cpu usage or as a denial of service attack.

Yesterday I started on an inhouse, inplace upgrade of a nt4sp6 machine to Windows 2000. Fortunately I took a backup with PowerQuest DriveImage of the machine before I started. Ghost is normally our imager of choice but the version of Ghost we have would not see the SCSI disks yet DI would.
Kelly posted some Fall pictures yet in the uk we’ve skipped autumn and gone straight to winter as seen by Reflective Reality’s post and my comments. I am hoping to get some nice falling leave shots this weekend (as long as there are some leaves left to fall by then)
Can anyone recommend a decent and free dynamic dns client? The downloadable version that I used to use now has a bug in it that means it doesn’t work. Thats not too much of an issue as my router now has built in ddns client functionality, but it prevents me writing correct documentation for my first HelpMeHelpYou article on Dynamic Dns registration. The first in a series of guides that will assist people in setting up their pc’s so I can provide remote assistance.
Discovered by accident that Microsoft have a Web Admin tool. It looks like it is meant to be used for isps and asp’s but also looks like it may be used inhouse for enterprise management. I’ve downloaded a copy to play with and also the documentation as I think it modifys the Active Directory which I’m a bit nervous about doing on our live AD setup.
