That's right, with all this talk about rootkits in audio CDs it's time you learn how to disable the autorun feature in Windows.

I know I know, it's been way too long--I am so sorry. But bare with me, I'm in a new job and I've just learned I'm going to be a papa, so I'm sure you can forgive my absence. :)

I'm back to doing weekly screencasts, I just added a quick number to make sure I still know what I'm doing. And I should have the finale of the gmail series re-recorded next week.

I've also added a new feature-- '60 Second Tip' where I'll do a simple little audio tip that'll last roughly 60 seconds. Kind of a simple: 'hey, did you know' or 'give this software a try' info. It's a simple audio file you can download or play via the mp3 player on the right side of this page.

It's easy to let our email clients go to the dump. Unless you get in the habit of doing regular cleanup you're quickly going to get backed up and overwhelmed.

So, start with something easy to get your foot in the door. =)

Sorry everyone, still no new screencasts but I haven't given them up.

I accepted a new job as a .net/XML developer and it's taking a ton of my time--not just the work but getting used to the change.

My hope and prayer is that all will be settled down and I'll release a new screencast on January 1, 2006.

I've also given up the MPC version of the screencast for personal reasons so you will no longer be seeing those--strictly videos directly related to whatever series I'd be working on.
