09-22-02 107.jpg Originally uploaded by ckindel I just updated my Windows Home Server with Ed Halloway's PhotoSync Beta 2 . This Add-in for Windows Home Server automatically ensures that all photos stored in a particular folder on your home server are automatically published to your Flickr account...

Man there's been a buzz around transparency lately... I honestly don't have any insight into some grand plan at Microsoft about blogging and transparency. I can only point to my own personal experieces, and I have a timely example: Last week a member of my team posted to the Windows Home Server Team...

So far I think they all suck. What am I talking about? RSS Aggrigators. I've been bouncing back and forth between RSS Bandit, Google Reader, Outlook 2007, and several others for the last few months and none of them make me happy. A critical requirement for me is to be able to access my feedlist, with...

Our goal with the blog is to educate and inform families with multiple PCs about how Windows Home Server will help them easily store, protect...

I post photos to my blog via Flickr. It is super easy to do and automatically takes care of scaling the images and providing a link to hi-res versions on Flickr. At CES I took a phone cam pic of the “hockey puck” Windows Home Server prototype and posted it via my blog ( this post ). Today...

Heh, heh. I just noticed Alec Saunder's post linking back here . I am not a big gambler and I really only get to Las Vegas once a year...for CES, but my gambling history is deeply rooted in an amazing experience I had in 1999 or 2000 (I don't remember which) when Alec taught me how to play craps. I had...

My inbox is overflowing with messages from people congratualating my team, asking questionsm, and pointng me at all the great press we've been getting.
