Hey, well the dentist was fun! And I have had time to install Office 2010 on my wife’s Windows 7 laptop. I will try to put together some of the interesting features…
I have been using an excellent piece of software for twittering form my Windows Mobile. Twikini has all of the features you would expect, as well as working fantastically with the IPhone like features of Windows Mobile 6.5.
I may be a little late to the game, but this rocks! The current rumours are that this will be available before Christmas and will cost in the region of £121! I for one will be pre-ordering one as soon as I can :)
I have just finished installing TFS 2010 beta 1 and doing an upgrade of out TFS 2008 data. This did not go well… Due to a collation mismatch between my original SQL Server 2005 and my new SQL Server 2008 I received an error when upgrading…
If, like me, you are stuck with the old and decrepit version of Windows that is Vista SP1 at work then you may be interested in Service Pack 2 which became available on the MS Download site today.
Easy peasy, all you need is the full URL from the project collection and you will be able to connect directly to it as if it was a different Team Server. This functionality was added with Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1, so if you don’t have SP1 installed yet you had better get it:
A little fun game from Microsoft to test your knowledge. Going to see if I get on the leader board, but I do not hold out much any hope…
Microsoft recently opened up there beta of the MyPhone service to the general public. The service syncs your Mobile phone with the web and allows access to your Contacts Calendar tasks, pictures and more.
This problem it seams is to do with the way Visual Studio 2010 connects to your TFS server over HTTPS. The default value for “BypassProxyOnLocal” in Visual Studio 2008 was “False”, but it has been changed to “True” for Visual Studio 2010 Beta 1. It should be noted that this is currently a Beta 1 workaround and this behaviour may be updated for Beta 2 and RTM.
The reason is simple, it has no MSDN documentation in it. I for one never install the MSDN documentation and just use the online version and have always found it a pain to have it inside the same installation, but may people find it useful.
