I’m developing a set of Nintex workflows for a project that ID are on and while I think Nintex is a superb product, allowing complex workflows to be developed, and deployed into Sharepoint solutions and on the whole it makes me go "Woo Hoo!", there are a few things that make me go "Doh!". Doh! […]

Nintex Workflow Gotchas #1
January 14, 2010God Mode Doesn’t Work on My Windows 2008
January 11, 2010I’d been reading about “God Mode” on Twitter and decided to give it a whirl. I created a folder on my “C” drive and renamed it to “GodMode.{ED7BA470-8E54-465E-825C-99712043E01C}”. The icon changed from the normal folder to the Control Panel icon. Clicking the GodMode folder opens up access to just about every setting that you can […]

W7 & PDFs
June 11, 2009It seems that when I click on a PDF link in IE 8 I get the following dialog displayed in Adobe Reader 8 The PDF sometimes still opens in the browser, I don’t know why. Using the Check For Updates, accessed from the Adobe Reader, Help menu shows that there are updates to be downloaded […]
Windows 7 & AVG Free
June 11, 2009In Windows 7 Comes To Wors World I documented my experiences with installing and beginning to use Windows 7 RC. Basically, I upgraded Vista Business to W7 *is that how we’re going to short hand Windows 7???) and ran up a few applications and utilities to see what worked and what didn’t. One of the […]
Windows 7 & TweetDeck
June 5, 2009The hot thing at the mo is Twitter – everyone, but everyone is Tweeting these days – You can catch me on Twitter as @WorTony 🙂 Anyway, my app of choice for Twittering is TweetDeck. It’s free and it’s in beta and it has a few issues on my Vista laptop such as it crashes […]
Windows 7 Aero Peek
June 5, 2009Another nice touch is the Aero Peek functionality. This allows you to hover the mouse over the show desktop button at the far right of the task bar and see a preview of the desktop without actually minimizing all your apps. When you move the mouse the “peek” ends and you’re back to how it […]
Windows 7 Recently Used Items List

Windows 7 Comes To Wors World
May 29, 2009This is a big subject so I’ll document my initial thoughts and return to it later…. I finally decided to get round to having a look at Windows 7 after reading a few bits and pieces about it on the web and seeing that there were a growing number of Twitter users (@harbars, @AndrewWoody, @joeloleson, […]
Vista SP2
May 28, 2009I’ve been running Windows Vista on this laptop since about January 2008 and in that time I’ve come to hate how slow it is, how things that I used to know where they lived have been moved etc. etc. I particularly have issue with the performance of Vista when it’s recovering from hibernation and/or when […]
