Microsoft Visual C++ Express
Posted on January 25th, 2009I was trying to install Visual C++ Express on Windows 7 recently, and found it failed before it even started installing. The other day, however, I was offered a fix for a completely unrelated issue which also fixed this.

The command:
reg delete HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\SQMClient\Windows\DisabledSessions /va /f
Now happily coding with Visual C++ on Windows 7! =)
Computer Room
Posted on September 19th, 2008Thought I might post some pics of my families computer room
It contains 7 computers, with a few laptops around the house that can be brought in to make an 8th seat. We use it to play Age of Empires 2 routinely with friends (the max players for that is
I can tell you, these old computers struggle with about 400 units fighting on the screen at the same time!

The MacBook Pro
Posted on May 29th, 2008Wow. It IS Pro.
Its way faster than my old PC, and its like, 1/6 the size or something.
THE OS
Very fast, very compatible.
The only problem I’ve had is with my USB stick, but seeing as that cost £10 from dabs.com I’m not very surprised it doesn’t work.
Its very fast, loads up things in seconds that my old PC took minutes to do. I love the dock
THE HARDWARE
It looks awesome :O I love it. It looks sleek and professional. <3
I’ll add more to this later
Annoying IE Bug
Posted on May 29th, 2008I was working with Prototype today, and noticed a really annoying bug in IE.
If you accidentally leave a comma on the last line of a class, for example:
new Ajax.Request(’url’, {
something: ‘blah’,
});
IE will throw up an error, and FF will not. Just thought I’d tell someone about this, as it really annoyed me looking for a solution.
