A suggestion for Google…

Friday, May 21st, 2010

I just had an idea for Google.  So, naturally, I did a Google search on “How to I make a suggestion for Google?”.  The top page told me the answer – but it wasn’t on Google’s site!  Anyway, turns out that their is where to put it.

My suggestion? Quite simple. I wanted to type “about:config” in the URL bar, but forgot the colon. I thought it would be kinda neat if Google said “Did you mean about:config?”.

Visual Studio 2008? Wait for SP1…

Sunday, April 13th, 2008

Having upgraded from VS 2005 Express to VS 2008, I was surprised to find that ASP highlighting and Intellisense didn’t work – it treated the code as plain text. A classic Microsoft decision, to desupport something they’re already committed to supporting.

A bit of digging around though, and I worked out two things. One, M$ intended to completely desupport Classic ASP. Which would be fine, except that…

…by the time Visual Studio Express 2008 Service Pack 1 came out (which it hasn’t yet), they’re already backtracking, claiming it wasn’t desupported, just not working – but will be fixed in SP1.

And people wonder why Gates never ran for president? Seems that liars never prosper – as Hillary Clinton (someone I used to hope would be in charge that side of the pond) seems to be finding out.
