ShutOff 2007
Some of you may only know me as the developer of ShutOff 2000. Here's a little history lesson, and an update to the development of the "new" version.
I am shallow
This week I took the plunge, aided in part by the offer to pay 50% by my better half, to get the new Microsoft Action Pack. He has been wanting to put Windows Vista on his machine since we downloaded the beta last year (and helped bring the Internet to its knees).
Sentech increases capacity
Sentech has increased download limits from today on all packages. We've moved from 3GB to 5GB. Pleasant surprise. Telkom was almost becoming a competitive alternative.
Why I Rule
select ceiling(cast(replace(ltrim(rtrim(replace(substring([Text], 7, patindex('% %', substring([Text],7,20))), 'FEE', ''))), ',', '') as float)) as DBTranAmt
News
Phew, it's been a while since I posted!
Windows Vista
I see the minimum requirements for Windows Vista include a CD-ROM drive, but I was under the impression that it comes on DVD.
Random news
A bugfix release of ShutOff 2000 has been released, thanks to some feedback from a new customer. Visit http://itsol.co.za/ for more information.
Training
From 8 to 12 January 2007, I attended a couple of Microsoft Training courses. These were:
Telecommunications Nightmare
Telkom, Sentech, iBurst.
