From LiveSide - New version of Outlook Live for Windows Mobile available – for some. As part of the upcoming release of Exchange Server 2010, a new version of Outlook Live for Windows Mobile became available today.  This new Outlook Live, formerly Exchange Labs and code named Skyline (not the Outlook Live that preceded Outlook Connector), is an installable client for any Windows Mobile 6.1 phone that uses Exchange Server 2010.

Two new Windows Live services coming soon: Documents and Devices

It seems like Windows Live Wave 4 is well underway, and the consolidation of Office Live and Live Mesh with Windows Live could only make it better.

Something I have had to do a lot of lately is install printers in home networks with 32bit and 64 bit machines running mixtures of Windows 7, Vista and XP. This article from Digital Inspiration succinctly explains how to get this to work. Share a Network Printer between x86 and x64 Windows Machines.

Outlook 2010 is going to be able to sync to the cloud and mobile devices so you can take it where ever you go. Thanks to Sarah for the tip.

August 30 saw Judith and Jadeen compete with another 47,000 odd runners in the annual Bridge to Brisbane charity fun run. Jude and Jadeen competed in the 5km run finishing in the first 2000 odd runners I think. Official results will come later.

Here are some of the best / funniest ones I took. Number 32531 was the winning woman. Judith was number 40065 and I didn’t see Jadeen bolt past me in the crowd so I didn’t get a photo of her.

I had a request to help with an unusual problem. Unusual at least until I googled it. Seems like it happens a bit and there's no apparent reason. There were some specific reasons relating to specific server installation issues, but this wasn't the problem for the person I was helping.

In short the following error was what he was getting. And also his description of the problem:

• Copy / paste;
• Cut / paste;
• Drag and drop from cell to cell.

It says “Cannot Empty the Clipboard”. I’ve tried clipboard and excel options but I can’t seem to make it go away.

Here are my suggested solutions.

It all started as an idea. Then again, most good things do. I was talking to Kerry, the owner of Sensational Slushees when we were building his website for him and suggested we organise a photoshoot for his slushee machines as a promotional thing, from which he could get some good photos to use for his website.

As I started thinking more about it I decided to research some ideas. Then a mate of mine Dave Reid arranged the photoshoot I did with Nelson Lai. Dave showed me this YouTube video of the Chase Bar photoshoot, from which I took some inspiration for my shoot yesterday.

So yesterday was just over a month in actual planning. I was very keen to do the entire shoot for no cost to anyone, other than their time and fuel etc. I was able to secure back to back shoots with the local tavern for the bar and the local fitness studio who are also clients of ours.

This is what I ended up arranging:
