In the process of juggling all that stuff I often forget interesting things. Not any more. Now I'll just post them here. This way we all win: I don't forget stuff; you don't forget or miss stuff. The Marketeers at my work would refer to this as Win-Win.http://www.rogueapp.com/~rogueftp/noreply@blogger.com (cokes)Blogger47125tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309338.post-2284883698518602991Tue, 04 Aug 2009 13:21:00 +00002009-08-04T14:21:21.445+01:00http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Yj2oXMdZ4sk&eurl=http://hubpages.com/hub/BT-Complaints&feature=player_embeddedhttp://www.rogueapp.com/~rogueftp/2009/08/hilarious.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (cokes)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309338.post-4196272599396629177Fri, 26 Jun 2009 13:37:00 +00002009-06-26T14:37:45.515+01:00http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/wcf/thread/adb79021-89b8-47ab-a02d-33b2e777cb73http://www.rogueapp.com/~rogueftp/2009/06/wcf.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (cokes)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309338.post-3237791242085259334Fri, 26 Jun 2009 08:45:00 +00002009-06-26T09:45:26.453+01:00http://social.msdn.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/architecturegeneral/thread/4b37ec54-ff36-4fb7-97e5-a449e057e0a7http://www.rogueapp.com/~rogueftp/2009/06/soa-or-not.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (cokes)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309338.post-7576457186392776308Mon, 22 Jun 2009 13:56:00 +00002009-06-22T14:56:41.340+01:00http://www.microsoft.com/msj/1098/visualprog/visualprog1098.aspxhttp://www.rogueapp.com/~rogueftp/2009/06/little-history.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (cokes)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309338.post-5539402974600052237Tue, 03 Feb 2009 17:23:00 +00002009-02-03T17:27:07.604Zmsxml.dll build error on vista - this code hasn't changed forever!http://darrensargent.com/blog/?p=8http://www.rogueapp.com/~rogueftp/2009/02/useful-vista-info-1.htmlnoreply@blogger.com (cokes)0tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7309338.post-496887132628725675Tue, 03 Feb 2009 09:33:00 +00002009-02-03T09:51:08.355Zhttp://virtualbox.org - allows you to run a guest OS.

I thought I'd search the infoverse to see what he's been up to for the last 18 years. I think you'll agree that it makes very interesting reading...Andrew's always had a keen interest in films - I knew he'd made some budget features, but do his family know about this?
