RiverFire 2006

On September 6, 2006

Sorry for not posting earlier, I had some problems with dasBlog! (or rather FreeTextBox). Anyway they are resolved now (thanks to a helpful
post).

The photos below are from RiverFire 2006, a fireworks show that is run every year in Brisbane in Australia. The photo on the left shows the Story Bridge lit up with fireworks and the picture on the right shows a F-111 Aardvark doing a fuel burn across the night sky.

You can see some more great pictures at this official photo site, they make some pretty nice desktop backgrounds.

Download Office 2007 Icons

After much demand I decided to place the extracted icons on this website. They are available in a zip file and are mostly in 48×48 ico files (there are a couple that were only available in 32×32). You can now pretend to have Office 2007 B2TR on your computer! Pity there isn’t an easy way to update your splash screens… 🙂

Enjoy!

Vista goes RC1

Well this was a bit of a surprise to myself and I think most other people! RC1 has come just a couple of weeks (barely) after the August CTP and is a later build number than expected (5600 instead of the 5536 most people expected). I am downloading the x86 version right now and will post a review once I have upgraded, hopefully they will have included the nforce RAID drivers this time.

It will be released to MSDN and TechNet subscribers soon too, but Connect users are getting it first which is nice! You can see some screenshots of the RC1 on Paul Thurrott’s SuperSite. Here is a bit of a preview of the new default wallpaper, it seems Microsoft is continuing to rotate through the wallpapers trying to keep everyone guessing!
