While from a clinical perspective the operation went

This has been blogged about elsewhere but I’m trying to get back in the blogging groove and I also want to make note of this somewhere! When I went to the Manchester SBSC group for my SharePoint as a Helpdesk presentation I mentioned I’d had a problem with the performance of my virtual machines. It’s

Creating an Activity Log with SharePoint
I was reminded of an old Notepad trick on LifeHacker yesterday. Basically if you create a new text file, add .LOG as your first line and then save the file, every time you open it after that the date and time is automatically added for you. LifeHacker then suggest you can use this as an

Book Review–Daemon
I’ve got out the blogging habit! Not an intentional thing but something that annoys me when it does. I finished reading a book this week and enjoyed it so much I thought I’d give it a mention. I actually picked the book up in March. I was in a book shop and the cover and
