TechEd is always a great event. Today I've helped with an Instructor-Led Lab on Report Builder, attended a few sessions, helped plenty of people with questions, and participated in the Bloggers' Lunch. This was a panel that Frank Arrigo hosted...

Dynamic friends list with Whooiz and Ajax

Whooiz is changing. They have a new logo, they're dropping the capital H (but it might take a bit of time for this one to go through), and the widgets are now much more dynamic. So in my blog (if you're reading this from elsewhere, go to http://msmvps...

Cricket PowerGadget

I was thinking about PowerShell and how you can get it to do fantastic things. And I wondered how easily it could be used for scraping cricket scores . So I threw together four lines of code to grab the cricket scoreboard from cricinfo and rip out the...

Cricket gadget

Being English, I'm finding this Ashes series quite depressing. I updated the Wikipedia site to say that Australia had won the series 3-0, but took no joy in doing so. It's not often you get to update Wikipedia with information about a live event - but...

Insecure websites

It really worries me when I stumble across an insecurity in a website. I don't go looking for them, but when I find one, I feel like I have a responsibility to do something about it. I don't mean tell the world about it - that would be bad for the company...

Customising the wHooiz Friendz list

If you look at Nick's blog , you'll see that he has a lot more wHooiz Friendz than me. That's probably because he's a lot more popular than I am. But also, I filter my list to show only a few. If you refresh the page, you'll see more. You'll also notice...

Oh, that's how you do Whooiz with Community Server...

When I first put the link to the bit of script to list my Whooiz Friendz, it didn't work. It would just display as the link. Seems <script would be replaced with &lt;script - but there's an answer! http://communityserver.org/forums/thread/496622...

Whooiz my Friendz?

Observant people will have noticed a friend-list appear on the side of my blog. Changing my blog around is way overdue for me. I need to take a few hours out some time and work on the CSS. I still don't have all the useful stuff that I had at my old blog...

Javascript's getYear() function, and other IE headaches

Someone I know came across this gem . I guess it's well publicised, but if you haven't come across it before, it could easily catch you out. The interesting thing is that IE will give you 2006 for getYear(). That's wrong. It should give 106...
