Problems signing into Live Messenger
I've been having problems signing into my profile in MSN/Live Messenger on my home pc for the last week or so. Leelas profile worked fine, but for some reason when I tried i'd get the rotating pawn icon and there it would stay...
I subscribed to Ed Botts blog in Bloglines this morning and came across a post he made where he was having a similar problem.
Yesterday, I sent a note to support and got the suggested fix within a few hours. Open Regedit and delete the following key:
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\MSNMessenger\Policies
After doing that, I was able to sign in again. If you’re having this problem, maybe the same fix will work for you.
The fix worked for me! 
Website Updates!
This evening I've made the decision to stop using Googles blogger.com for my blog management and Fotopic for my photo hosting.
I dont update this page very often, but whenever I've felt like adding something blogger.com has been really sluggish. So, this evening I've decided to give WordPress a shot. Being able to manage posts directly on my own server is so much nicer and quicker than using a really slow 3rd party server which then uploads the changes via a really slow FTP connection...
I've been a Fotopic member since April 2003 and they've been great the whole time I've used them. However, I've now got oodles of spare disk space in my server so it makes sense to use some of it I'm now using Gallery2 to host my photos and so far I'm very pleased with the results.
I suppose the default templates for WordPress & Gallery look ok, but at some point I'm going to have to break play around with them...
