Josh Evitt commented that you can configure FeedDemon to use Mozilla as your browser instead of IE. I gave it a shot and it works well, although sadly it doesn't bring along the features of FireFox I was looking for (plugins like AdBlock, for example...

Over the last couple of years I've relied on NewsGator , a plugin for MS Outlook to read my news. It works like a charm, and I've been very happy with it, but frankly I'm getting tired of Outlook and I want to start moving away from that beast. Outlook...

Got home late last night from a mini-vacation back to CA to visit family over the holiday, and I'm catching up on news. Looks like Andy has posted links to a new InfoCard guide and technical reference - I know what I'm going to be studying over the next...
-
As I delve deeper into InfoCard, I'm concerned that we're not loose with terminology. In order for the Identity Metasystem to succeed, we need to make sure that we don't confuse people into thinking it's just another Passport . That would be a disaster...

Steve asks the following question: Is there any reason to develop a login form for my vb.net windows application (to be run by a dozen or so users, all XP, with SQL 2005 backend) such that the login form prompts again for userid and password? Advantage...

From Engadget , How-To: Build a WiFi biquad dish antenna “With just a handful of cheap parts, a salvaged DirecTV dish and a little soldering, we were able to detect access points from over 8 miles away. Using consumer WiFi gear we picked up over...

"The data server trusts the application server." "Domain B trusts domain A." "Bob validates the ticket and develops trust in the client." What does any of that mean? I've seen way too many instances where the word trust really just muddies the water....

Just happened across this post by Kim Cameron , with a really clear reasoning behind the word “claim”. Claim is a term which you've heard a lot about if you've paid much attention to the WS-* security specs, and I think you'll be hearing a...

http://www.mturk.com I remember Douglas Adams's keynote at the 1996 PDC, where he talked about how computers do certain things well, but humans are much better at many tasks. He emphasized that human-computer interfaces should take advantage of this,...

Last night I downloaded the SQL Server 2005 Developer Edition DVD ISO image, and as you can probably tell from my last post, I'm trying to get it installed in a VPC. Not having much luck so far. VPC can't mount the ISO image directly, so I burned it to...

Am I the only one annoyed by this? Is there something I'm missing? I had to burn a DVD with the SQL Server 2005 ISO image I downloaded from MSDN before I could install it in a VPC. Seems kinda silly.

Steve Johnson has a great post on his experiences troubleshooting SSL certs in a lab environment. He's even written a utility to help save you some of his pain. Well done, Steve!
