I have decided to move DBAdmin to a new location, since I have replaced my old site with this blog. The new Database Administrator for MS Access page can be accessed from Articles links (see on the right below). The direct link is: DBAdmin for MS Access Technorati Tags: MS Access, Database

Well, I like Italian wine, specially chianti and toscana, and since my favorite wine, Villa Antinori, is out of stock, I got a new one, by recommendation of seller. The new one is chianti Riserva Ducale Oro, from Ruffino, 2000.

Now definitely I know why this costs so much and why phone features are soooo low-tech. del.icio.us Tags: Vertu, Mobile

One of those small things I liked in Vista is help text in the background of various text boxes, such as Search in Explorer: When you click on it, the text disappears, leave it without typing anything, you again see the text. In many places this might be a useful thing - it helps user to determine what should be written inside and there is no additional place needed to put the label.
