It's months ago since I wrote my last blog post. It was about the things I did like about Windows 7. Now that the RTM is released for Technet and MSDN subscribers, I replaced the RC that I was running with this RTM, UIltimate edition.

Yeterday I installed Windows Server 2008 Standard onto my "web/file/print/email/media server" at home. Installation went super smooth, configuration was quite intuitive. After I installed all components and the basic configurations were done I tried to setup some of my websites. The problems I experienced doing so: By default, ASP.Net sites

I am experiencing difficulties with converting one specific test-project from VS2005 to VS2008. I am hoping that one of the Bloggingabout.net bloggers / readers can help me with this. I try to open an existing solutionfile (target 2.0, currently being used in Visual Studio 2005) in Visual Studio 2008 (Team System Developer Edition) but one of the projects

Everytime I go over to friends or family to fix some kind of "computer problem" that they experience, I start telling the same tips 'n tricks over and over again about how to avoid spyware, how to keep your PC as tidy as possible, how to clean up your internet history, etc. Ofcourse many of them appreciate those tips but as soon as I'm
