June 2007

June 27, 2007

This year I have mainly been avoiding Big Brother

I couldn’t name anybody in it! Huzzah!

And then I find myself reading that Chantelle and Preston are separating and I feel even more vindicated that I have removed myself from the BB merry-go-round.

Worryingly, I realise that a holiday in a location without Channel 4 is the prime reason I missed it.

Now I have to learn how to ignore Hollyoaks.

Internet Explorer and XML

Internet Explorer is hovering around 60–90% Processor Utilisation and using over 300MB of memory. Why? To open a 1.7MB XML file……

How can that be?

It has been chugging away for nearly 10 minutes on this thing. Sheesh!

It is now sitting at 90%+ utilisation, using 400MB+

Something is not right about this picture

Blog hiatus

Another blog hiatus.

These things happen. I’ll try and get back into the groove now and start posting a little more regularly.

Honest.

Windows Server Core

This sounds interesting – can I use a Windows Server 2008 core installation for my AD / DHCP needs in a development environment with XP and Windows Server 2003?

What if I want to have a lightweight ASP.NET IIS 7 though? I heard that ASP.NET is not included in server-core, though IIS is….. what’s the point of that?
