I’ve been playing around with Vista off and on for the last year or so. To date my ‘casual experiments’ with the OS have been with the 32 bit version. Last week I took my relatively ordinary 64 bit box (a HP tc7600) and threw Vista RC1 Build 5600 Ultimate 64 bit on it. Wow … this thing fast (and I mean faster than XP or 2K3). My experience rating is actually still relatively crappy. This gives great hope to the future market success of Vista (afterall I am a shareholder).

I was reading this CNN article (via Adam Barr) which mentioned that Microsoft is helping design a High School. OK that’s cool … nothing wrong with that. One item which stood out was this: The high school will use an “education competency wheel,” patterned after a set of desirable traits Microsoft encourages among its employees. OK now that is just ridiculous. I wonder if they are also teach classes on Marketecture?

Dare has a great post regarding Social Software griefing. It links through to a story (read the caveats on Dare’s links) about a guy who exposed the personal info a bunch of idiots who responded to a fake Craigslist personal. I’ve no problem with this idiots being exposed (no worse than that show where they entrap pedophiles or that one were there following spouse cheaters). It’s a pity that the ‘exposer’ didn’t do it in a safer way (ie. anon or with the backing of a more traditional media outlet). I’d love to see the Chaser do something like this in Australia…

If you do any sort of web programming you need a decent HTTP sniffer. One of the best out there for Windows is Fiddler. Worth checking out.

The download for our new web based (and connected) mobile client is up: here. Even if you don’t have a need for a mobile client it’s worth checking out as an alternative ‘lightweight’ CRM client.
