Backwards or forwards?
Life, James Hein, Published on 13/11/2013
» Why do software makers not bother to check with users to see if their latest upgrade is an improvement or a step backwards? In this case it is Visio 13. I've found a 770-point version of the good old Colossal Cave (or Adventure), a text-based interactive fiction game we used to play way back in the day. I was using Vision to make a map and when I used Visio 13 I could no longer easily make the connectors work as I wanted. This is not the only time I have had problems with new versions of Microsoft products trying to help me way past the point where I want any. I'm sure there is a setting somewhere buried deep under the Options Menu that will stop the behaviour I don't want, but it shouldn't be that hard. Perhaps a simple "make all options as per version 2010" would be the answer.

Those a couple of years older are already on child-orientated chat rooms, developing more advanced online skills. The under-20s are fluent in thumb-typing, chat abbreviations, emoticons, creating avatars and pretending to be someone they aren't. Those aged below 30 are more likely to be accessing the internet with a mobile device and may not even have a fixed phone line at home.

A worm that has me in fear - and in awe
Database, James Hein, Published on 15/12/2010
» I was pondering what I was going to write about this week when I saw the name Stuxnet. At first it looked like just another worm until I started to do some digging.

SharePoint: An assessment of 'Front Page on steroids'
Database, James Hein, Published on 27/10/2010
» I recently attended a Microsoft MVP presentation on SharePoint. I admit in advance to knowing very little about SharePoint. Up until the meeting, I thought it was a document storage system. After the meeting, as succinctly as possible I'd call it "FrontPage on super steroids".
