Supporting the Digital Economy Bill
Today, the Digital Economy Bill was passed in parliament. I’d not read into it much, but lots of people seemed to be getting very angry about it. As far as I was aware this morning, it was a new law made to kick people off the internet if they use it to illegally download stuff. So on Twitter, I said this: Am I missing something regarding the #debill, or are people complaining that they might get punished for breaking the …
April Fools Day 2010
After last year’s Epic April Fool of Win, expectations were high for today. I had a feeling people were not going to be as gulli– er, trusting, as before.

Virtualising Exchange 2003
Later this year, we’ll be migrating Microsoft Exchange 2003 over to 2007. Apparently, this isn’t technically a migration but is instead a transition.

This task is one fraught with peril at every turn, so requires a bit of planning and testing. The first issue is that Exchange 2007 only runs on a 64-bit version of …
Broccoli
Yesterday, we got our Asda shopping delivered. Not because we’re fat and lazy, but because we were busy. And lazy. If you’ve ever ordered stuff from them yourselves, you’ll know that sometimes things are out of stock, and they replace them with alternatives. So the juice we ordered was replaced with a different flavour. No problem. For some reason, and without listing it as a replacement on the delivery note (like they did with the juice), our order of apples, …
Windows 7 Lies
