Super Mario Bros Race
http://video.google.com/videoplay?docid=6590364564874563352&q=super+mario+race
Maybe it was the "Danger Zone" Kenny Loggins music towards the end, but I actually thought this was quite exciting. Two guys racing Super Mario Bros. 1. Watch the full 5 minutes..

Remeber remember the fifth of November
Saw V is For Vendetta the other day, which is mad as hell and out to rile up a politically lethargic audience. The movie is powered on ideas which are not computer-generated, although the special effects are the best i've seen since the Matrix. Would see it again.

Shortcut Keys
Once a year I happen to learn about a new shortcut key that just amazes me. Usually it’s because it’s something I didn’t know was possible or was possible but required to many mouse clicks. Recently I learned of control-space and had that same reaction.
Control-Space
In Microsoft Word, selecting text and typing Control-Space will clear the formatting. Since I do this dozens of times a day when copying/pasting text into Word Mail this is super handy.
Control-+ (NumPadPlus)
This will cause any item list control in Windows to “Auto Fit” I use this all the time in the explorer shell to make all the columns in details view automatically fit to the items in the list. As far as I can tell, this shortcut is not documented anywhere.
WindowsKey-E
This will launch the Explorer Shell to the My Computer View. I do this dozens of times a day.
WindowsKey-D
This will display the desktop and hide all application windows.
WindowsKey-L
This will Lock your desktop or switch user if you have FUS turned on.
Alt-F1
In Outlook this will hide the folder list, giving your reading pane more room to view a message.
WindowsKey-Q
If you have Office Communicator, this will expand it from the Tray and place focus in the Word Wheel Control so you can quickly initiate a chat.
Control-Alt-M
If you have Windows Desktop Search, and the Taskbar Toolbar visible, this will place focus in that control.

Consolidated Blog
Well, i've updated this site with the old entries i'd done for blogger. If anyone is interested in coverting from blogger -> dasBlog, here's how i've done it:
- Got a copy of the atom.xml file on my blogger site http://matthewgoodman.blogspot.com/atom.xml
- Create a console application, which references the dasBlog.Web.Runtime.dll
- Parse the atom.xml, extracting all "entry" nodes and extract relevant infomation e.g. CreatedDate, Contant, Title.
- For each node parsed, created an instance of the Runtime.Entry class, populate properties, and save using saveEntry method.
- Generates a whole bunch of xml files in web/content directory, which can be copied directly on to the webserver hopsting this site.

Goodbye Accrobat
Finally found a way to put Adobe Acrobat reader out of its misery. Good riddens!
Won’t miss the long boot times, and endless prompts to download other random Adobe software I don’t want.
Foxit is great.
