December 5, 2008I recently stumbled on a small issue with Garmin MapSource, and trying to update to the latest version. I’d previously installed MapSource from DVD, and performed an update. It’s been a while since I’d done it, so I was a few versions off…

December 4, 2008Whilst doing some project build work recently, I noticed that every time I attempted to build a solution, it’d want to checkout every project, and update it with something.

October 26, 2008As previous mentioned, I’ve been dropped the lovely project of managing, and automating the build processes for all of our application suites.

It’s an interesting project, and I’m looking back over some of the stuff we’ve done to get our mass of code to work, build, and roll out to 4 different environments. However, I wanted something more manageable, [...]

October 7, 2008For a while, I’ve been doing a little bit of development work, build configurations, and the likes. I’ve had everything running inside a Virtual PC instance due to issues (detailed in Expanding Virtual PC Disks). We’re looking to upgrade to Visual Studio 2008 soon, so I decided to pre-jump.

August 21, 2008I’ve recently moved my primary domain over to a dynamic zone. I did this to allow for me to do some tweaking remotely, and auto-updating (using keys) for certain DNS records so I can connect to my network at home if I want to access resources here. This led to an interesting issue [...]
