2013
Fifteen years ago I would spend six weeks writing the incorrect year on every cheque I wrote.
In 2013 I’ll be lucky to write a cheque during the year.
Browsers
I’ve been a long time user and supporter of Firefox – through all of the pains and memory hogging years. Before that I swore by Netscape Navigator.
I dabbled for a short time with Rockmelt – good idea – but didn’t seem to have the execution and updates.
I’m now back to trying Chrome. It’s improved a lot.
For fairness – Internet Explorer 10 is actually pretty impressive too. The ONE THING that I miss is a plugin that does adblock. There is a paid option for IE9 – but nothing for IE10.
Testing blogging from Office 2013
Word 2013 allows direct publishing to a blog – this is my first test to see if it’s a replacement for the venerable Windows Live Writer.
ZoomIt
I just got reminded of this very cool demo tool.

ZoomIt is free – and lets you zoom into an area of the screen to highlight a piece of functionality or an area of interest. Great for demos.
Hyper-V and Windows Server 2012
Just loving Windows Server 2012 and the updated version of Hyper-V – it’s fast and furious on modern hardware.
The updated Linux support is great too – multiple v-procs – and great aware drivers for SUSE Linux.
