  1. My thoughts on Surface RT - AuTechHeads Blogs

    Yep, I wasn't especially clear on that. I am aware there's an ability to work around this (and assume this is the reference). I meant a 'supported' configuration option, perhaps one that optionally submits sites for review to include in the official whitelist...

  2. My thoughts on Surface RT - AuTechHeads Blogs

    You can add sites to the flash whitelist, There is a whole thread on the xda forums about it. I tested it myself and it does indeed work. How long the loophole stays open for is the big question

  3. Speed up your Surface ... - AuTechHeads Blogs

    It was late at night, so this post probably wasn't the greatest/most coherent .. but changing the page file minimum and maximum setting to Recommended definitely seems to have made a substantial and noticeable difference, and I've now had a few confirmations...

  4. Windows 8 RT Phone - what do you plan? - AuTechHeads Blogs

    I agree Matt. The push towards "If you can't do something in Metro, just switch across to Explorer" will fail horribly on a touchscreen tablet or RT device. I can't imagine running OS X on an iPad, it would be terrible. But for people that want a device to...

    thanks for the shoutout guys. And Rick, at least you got to do the AD session in NZ, and you got the better evals this year - share the joy! ;-)(and I did mention what the 31st bit was for during the AD session!) :-P

    Thanks for this post. I too was debating if it was worth bringing my laptop along to the sessions, good to see I won't be alone when doing so.

  8. How to add your KMS keys for Windows 8 and Server 2012 - AuTechHeads Blogs

    Is also worth noting that you MUST have SP1 installed. Because our KMS server was on a dedicated VM, it somehow got missed on our patching cycle (we basically forgot it existed). We soon found out when we got the "This update is not applicable to your setup...

  9. Windows To Go - AuTechHeads Blogs

    It's actually an SSD drive with a USB interface. I dare say that supporting any USB is too risky due to the high failure rates of crappy USBs, which in turn won't look good for Microsoft.

    Yeah, I like to use a laptop for a) furious tweeting and b) taking notes. Occasionally a bit of c) keeping up with work emails (still on the clock!).Good point about the wireless!

  15. Tips for First-Timers - AuTechHeads Blogs

    These are great tips! This is going to be my first TechEd and I've been wondering whether people are actually going to bring their laptops in during the sessions and whether there are charging stations etc. I'm also gonna bring my D-Link mobile companion...

OSDC 2010 PHP Pre-Day Workshop

Posted Thursday, 11 November 2010 1:50 AM By nickhodge (profile)
New event in the AuTechHeads events calendar - the Open Source Developers Conference. Here's what you need to know!

The Open Source Developer Conference (OSDC) 2010 is being held in Melbourne. And like in previous years, Microsoft is one of the sponsors – and I will be attending. Right after I get off the plane to Pycon New Zealand.

The Pre-day will be held at the same venue (The Abbotsford Convent) on Tuesday 23rd November 2010

The cost is $0.00 (thanks, Microsoft) – Please pop over to the OSDC 2010 web site to register to attend

Initially as a random idea, that quickly sprouted into reality, Microsoft is sponsoring a PHP Pre-day. Having used PHP for nearly 10 years, now is a very interesting time. Different Frameworks and Content Management systems such as Joomla!, Drupal, Cake and WordPress (to name a few) and the maturation of the language itself makes keeping abreast time consuming.

There is no cost to attend, nor to present. Food, etc has been kindly sponsored by Microsoft. You will not be borg’d and powerpointed to death with Microsof ...
