While it isn't ready to roll out just yet, I've decided to convert my blog and main site over to Graffiti CMS . The folks at Telligent have put together quite a platform for individual blogging and content management. Despite that, the "CMS"

Effective immediately, I am moving the RSS feed for this blog over to FeedBurner. The new URL for my feed is: http://feeds.feedburner.com/PeteBrown Most decent feedreaders should redirect to that and update the feed URL. If they don't, please plug the

Everyone loves to hate Internet Explorer. Microsoft was originally late to the browser game, but eventually won out over other browsers. Think of that what you may, but I have to admit that the competition at the time was made up of some pretty crappy

I finally decided to take a pop at using Windows Live Writer to write for my blog. While Community Server has a reasonable editor, it is an online in-browser editing experience and can suffer from the usual shortcomings that architecture has. Creating

When I got back to my house from the Silverlight 2.0 TAP event in Redmond last week, it was about 4:00 am (love those airline delays). I dumped most of my stuff in a pile, and went to bed. The next day, I remember asking for my jacket to be washed as

I was in Redmond all last week for a Silverlight meeting. My connecting flight from Denver to Baltimore was delayed so many times that it was around 3:00am when I exited the concourse at BWI and passed through security on my way out. I always like to

My server at home (which hosts this blog and my main web site) is on the fritz due to too many beta products installed, and the welcome but unexpected increase in traffic caused by my Silverlight 2.0 post from the 8th . Unfortunately, I'm at a Silverlight

Man, I have to install this. My father forwards me all sorts of junk in email, like how to boycott gas companies , the origin of golf , and the color of coke . Even better are the pages of Worth1000 photochops (w1k watermark clipped off, of course) passed

Growing up in the 70s and 80s, I have fond memories of the "TV Special". You know, the holiday specials that were preceeded by the funky drum and horns intro with the swirled-in "special" text (note: you can find just about anything

Why can't Adobe Acrobat Reader, arguably one of the most essential pieces of software out there, just play nice with the rest of my systems? Through several browser versions on three different systems, over several system rebuilds, running three different

My main website is pretty disjointed from my blog here, and with one exception, is rarely updated any more. I do plan to convert the main site over, prune out old stuff at somepoint, and make it as easy to update as my blog (WSS will likely be part of

My colleague at AIS, Steve Suing, just started up his own blog today. Among other things, Steve was half of the team on the Carbon Calculator project as well as a contributor on Silverlight.net . Steve's a talented guy, so I'm sure we'll see

I have to admit that I just didn't get into MySpace at all. I guess that's because I'm 35 and don't have a band or something. Every once in a while, a MySpace page comes up in search. I also get requests to use my desktop wallpaper backgrounds

I'm in the middle of a never-ending home renovation project. As such, I tend to use my two Bosch drills a lot. My son (20 months old now) was obsessed with the "brrrumba" (his name for the drill, based on its sound), and would go nuts whenever
