Software Blog: Miscellaneous

If you're like me you use Outlook all day, every day to manage not only email, but tasks, appointments, contacts and more. And now that I have a Windows Phone 7, I am more in sync than ever. Having come from years of the travesty days of Windows Mobile, I can honestly say it's finally a fantastic time to be fully on the Microsoft stack!

My Kingdom for a Task Manager

That being said, one thing that continues to be severely (and confusingly) lacking is the support for synchronizing tasks from Outlook to Windows Phone. There is no official or ...

Things continue to be busy, but I'm doing my best to make time for this site and my various projects. At long last I FINALLY installed Disqus to manage comments for the blog and software posts

Anyway, the details of the bug are discussed in depth on the iis.net forum, but the basic summary is that ...

Boy, has it been a while since I've been in here... Those of you that know me know I've been busy. Between my real work, my other work (i'm officially a freelancer!), and my personal work (including my dj and personal life) it's amazing I find time to breathe.
