I have written before about RSS and it's significance as a communication tool. We have been optimizing all of our technology to effectively use RSS to communicate with those who want to be kept up to date. The key word there being want.
Effective communication tools allow the user to be in complete control of the information they receive. Users prefer control and options. Some people prefer emails while others use the tools available to aggregate news feeds.

60 days ago we installed the new "Blog" module here on TCD. At that time Google had 1,010 pages indexed for the site. Today they list 1,400. It goes to show that things built with Search Engine Optimization in mind do have an impact.

What I really like about Vista - Part II -Thursday, February 15, 2007

There are a number of programs available that allow you to do a screen capture, but having it built into the OS is great. The snipping tool is a nice utility that allows you to "snip" any portion of your screen.
Just select the "scissors" icon and select any portion of your screen for snipping. Once snipped the image is copied to your clipboard for pasting, can be saved to your hard disk or emailed out using your email client. This will be a great tool to use for helping to diagnose computer problems when talking with customers. It is also very handy for creating tutorials and user guides. All of the images in my last several posts were captured using the "Snipping Tool"
Coming Next - "SpeedBoost"

What I really like about Vista -Wednesday, February 14, 2007

I have gone through another installation on my main desktop which went very smooth except for a graphics card issue that was quickly resolved. While Vista is not a must have upgrade, I do like it enough to want both of my main systems running it. Ultimate for the desktop and Business for the notebook.
Now that I have everything installed and running it's time to talk a bit about the features of the OS. While any new system takes time to learn, Vista is pretty intuitive. Most users will pick everything right up with one exception. It takes a little time to get used to navigating the file manager when opening and saving documents. Once you get past that it's a breeze.

Vista - The "Final Installation" -Friday, February 09, 2007

As indicated in my previous post, I'm not a believer in upgrading an OS so I go for the "Clean Installation". After installing Vista over XP-Pro and having no major issues I decided it was time to do the "Long Haul Install". The "Long Haul Install" is the OS installation I plan on using to support my system for a long period of time. I make sure all of the old drivers and .dll's are gone and that I have a very strong foundation without any cob-webs.
As usual I boot the system from the DVD drive and start the installation process. I get to the part where it asks me if I want to format my disk and I select "Yes" and then I'm confronted with an error message indicating that I can not upgrade as my previous version of Windows is not genuine.
