Blogging for Microsoft
I’ve almost been here for three months; time to unwrap the blogging.
I’ve got a couple of really marketing-centric videos up on Edge; I’ll post the links later.
My final word on spam
Google gets to handle the spam. There’s a lot of it.

Ouch.
Power outage
The power dropped for a second or two this morning; a good test for the Uninterruptible Power Supplies that are keeping the servers safe.
Everything worked perfectly; I need to add the Vonage box to the UPS power too – the only thing that went out was the phone.
Virtual server fun
I finally got round to building my lab servers in my office.
It’s certainly different using Microsoft Virtual Server and System Center Virtual Management Manager.
I’m scratching around for a 64 bit, Hyper-V capable server now.
Twitter, Twhirl, Adobe Air and uninstall
I installed twhirl a couple of months ago. Today it stopped working telling me that Adobe Air was broken.
There is nothing on Vista to let me uninstall, repair or otherwise tinker with Air and its applications. I found this timely blog post on uninstall:

Quoted from his email, here’s how you uninstall Adobe AIR if it does not appear in the Add/Remove Programs control panel:
Download the latest installer and then pass it the “-uninstall” flag from the command line, like so:
AdobeAIRInstaller.exe –uninstall
Worked like a champ.
