Microsoft Access Registry Reference Updated

I made some small updates to my Microsoft Access Registry Reference today. Enjoy!

Hougen up!

I just added a new page for Hougen.

Scoble and MSN Search

Scoble talks about MSN’s results ranking feature, and Adam Carr quite rightly points out that it is a piece of crud.

New Files for download!

I added a few new files for download, all for Microsoft Access / VBA.

Hero

I saw Hero this weekend on DVD, and it kicked ass. That is all.

MS, IE, and less-than-stellar journalism II

In an earlier entry, I talked about some poor reporting on Firefox/IE. Well, the follow up isn’t much better.

Firefox Extensions

Inspired by this list of best Mozilla, Firefox, and Thunderbird extensions, I thought I’d list the Firefox extensions I’m using (in no particular order):

Reservation System from Hell

The Daily WTF has a “nice” 2-part glimpse at a poorly implemented Access database. Part 1 Part 2

Stick Figure Action!

XiaoXiao Movie Page. Cool stick-figure action movies. #3 is my favorite.

MS, IE, and less-than-stellar journalism

Windows IT Pro has a short online article by Paul Thurrott, “Microsoft Responds to IE Complaints“.

More Learning Japanese

I ran across a nice game that combines classic RPG style with learning kana and kanji.

Whooops. Downloads deleted

Somehow or another I wiped out my downloads section. I’ve got the replacement up and am working on it, but not a lot of time to mess around right now.
I’m using Olate Download 3.0, which seems to be nice - I just need to customize it, and I’m sooooo tired of messing about with […]

Firefox 1.0

Mozilla Firefox reaches version 1.0!
I’ve been using it since 0.9.1, and it has been a far superior replacement to IE. Why do I like Firefox? In no particular order:

Japan Experts: Best pick-up line

From On Gaien Higashi Dori:
An article in Times Online, and how a panel of Japanese experts have come up with the ultimate pick-up line.

Suspect Zero Review

I saw Suspect Zero last night.

Microsoft Office Assistance: 100 and counting…

Training for Office Online hits the 100 course milestone.

Office Developer Center: Sending E-mail with Access

In this article, Rick Dobson talks about sending email in Access.
He probably should have mentioned that CDONTS requires the SMTP service running, which would have saved some head scratching on my part after another member of Access / VBA Central pointed out that the code in the article wouldn’t work..
