Earlier this month, myKB launched “Help for Helpers”, offering their flagship Knowledgebase software free for non profit corps.
One example of a non-profit that has already benefited is the Down Syndrome Network, which is building their knowledgebase here with the help of myKB and hosted on myKB’s website.

This one had me scratching my head for a while so I thought I would put it out there.
I have a computer that I installed some software on using an ISO file and therefore had attached it to a Virtual DVD player (Daemon Tools).
Recently I received a newer version of the software on a DVD. I wanted to install this in a VPC and not affect the other installation.
I created a VPC and popped in the disc. The install wizard came up and I went ahead with the installation.
When all was said and done, I went to run the new software but it was not the new version! I bagged the vpc and started again. Same thing.
In the VPC, I browsed to the disc. There were two DVD players both with the same contents. Neither had file dates relating to the new dvd.
I left the VPC and browsed to the disc from the host computer. There were two DVD players, one with the old version, one with the new.
I removed the instance of the virtual dvd player. Then tried to do the install again in the VPC and the proper software installed.
So, somehow, the physical DVD was firing up the AutoPlay but on the wrong disk. Go figure.
I had a VPC that I created on my computer. I needed to install something from a DVD. A prior version

Considering the picture of the flooded American Red Cross vehicle in Mississippi on the home page of CNN, I’m happy to know that an ACR vehicle left Burlington this morning to head down south to help.

August VS2005 CTP is now online with MSDN Downloads. I definitely can’t get SQL Server June CTP to install alongside of VS2005 August CTP. You’ll probably have to stick with the SQL Server Express bits that come with the VS2005 CTP.

There are now 37 BOFs (my best count) and I can’t really tell exactly which are new other than my two (Going Solo and TabletPC: If you build it, will they come).
I did notice sessions by William Tay (aka Softwaremaker) and Mario Cardinal that I didn’t see before.
And there’s a definitely bound to be great BOF by self-proclaimed Mort John Cavnar-Johnson. I hope that’s not scheduled at the same time as mine!!
You can vote for your idea of the top 7 best BOF ideas here.

Although there are some understandable glitches on the new MSDN Subscriptions site, I was able to get into the download page a few times today (though not too far). At first, there was nothing to see at all. Finally I tried “manage my subscriptions” and discovered that I had to configure my downloads. Once they were confiigured (which nodes do you want to see and what language) the familiar treeview on the left showed up – filtered based on my selections. I can’t get back in there at the moment (the glitches), but have already seen people asking this question.
