According to today's Metro, Tony Blair's method of reducing emissions and further pollution of the planet is to introduce new taxes. Specifically, these taxes will be against 'Chelsea tractors' and other petrol guzzling 4x4 vehicles. Why is more tax always the politicians answer to everything? And why is there no mention of where this extra [...]

Linux.com through IE7?
Is it just me that has this problem? I am unable to view www.linux.com through Internet Explorer 7! "Internet Explorer cannot open the Internet site http://www.linux.com/. Operation aborted" Also, if I visit a link directly within linux.com, my browser crashes! Is this some kind of evil censorship from Redmond? :) Technorati Tags: Linux.com, IE7, Microsoft

Books!
These are most of the books I've read over the last few months (I couldn't find pictures for all of them). As you can see I have a lot of opportunity for reading these days due to my daily train journeys! Now it's time to stop reading fiction and start reading 70-291 revision materials. I've [...]

BT Broadband speed testing
Gah ... my broadband connection is absolutely crap at the moment. It's meant to be a 5Mb connection, but because of a fault on the line the maximum download speed I can get is little more than you would get on 56k dial up. There are tons of sites out there for speed testing, usually [...]

Choosing a certificate for OMA ActiveSync
ActiveSync certificate problems are well known to the Windows Mobile community. If you have certificate problems on Windows mobile 2003, you could disable certificate checking using disablecertchk.exe, but this does not work on WM5 and you have to export the certificate and install it on the device to get around the 0x80072F0D problem: If you [...]

How to migrate messages between 2 mailboxes
ExMerge is probably one of the exchange administrators most used tools, but is a pain to use if you are working with large mailboxes, as it uses Outlook 2000 PST files which corrupt when they reach 2Gb. ExMerge also does not work with Outlook 2003 PST's ... I'm sure (and really hope ) this will [...]
