Bakers Hall is a fantastic venue for a Lodge meeting and dinner.  It is just round the corner from the Tower of London.  The CITO Lodge is extremely friendly and myself and my 2 guests had a very humorous and enjoyable evening.  Somehow we found our way home by train at about 2am after finishing the Dalwhinnie single malt scotch.

I'm very fortunate to be recently acquainted with Charles Hughes, the president of the BCS.  He is a very genuine and passionate chap, and I was pleased to be able to join him for his BCS residents dinner at "The Banqueting House" in Whitehall.  It was designed in 1619 and completed in 1622 with the ceiling paneling decorated with paintings by Rubens.  The guests of honor were the Duke of Kent and Lord Sainsbury.  After dinner entertainment was most spectacular with the band of the Royal Corps of Signals marching up and down between the tables playing excellent marches and other tunes.

I never went on a Rugby Tour when I was at school, however Im making up for it now with Marlow Rugby club and my 2 boys.  This is our fourth tour (2 to Brean Sands and last year to Eindhovan).  This year we visited the Hague and Oisterwijk RFC and had a fantastic time.  There were a few hickups, such as when I left Luke in Calais whilst I sailed across the channel with Oliver, but it all turned out fine in the end.

In the versions of Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services that are earlier than Windows SharePoint Services SP2, you could write a document library event handler that used the object model without explicit impersonation to access Windows SharePoint Services.

I spent 4 hours wondering why I couldnt get this to work and then found the following MS article saying that SP2 had "changed this behaviour by design !"

Full Article at: Document library event handlers that use object model code without explicit impersonation fail with the "Cannot complete this action" error message after Windows SharePoint Services Service Pack 2 is installed.

(I found it via another very helpfull blog by Mike Walsh of WSS FAQ from a goggle list of WSS updates)

Connecting to multiple IEEE 802.11 networks with one WiFi card

VirtualWiFi is a virtualization architecture for wireless LAN (WLAN) cards. It abstracts a single WLAN card to appear as multiple virtual WLAN cards to the user. The user can then configure each virtual card to connect to a different wireless network. Therefore, VirtualWiFi allows a user to simultaneously connect his machine to multiple wireless networks using just one WLAN card. This new functionality introduced by VirtualWiFi enables many new applications, which were not possible earlier using a single WLAN card.

Ive been interested in speech recognition with Dragon and IBS's sytem for a long time.  However 90% accuracy still means a lot of slow error correction and Ive still to be convinced.  Perhaps Windows Vista will provide the technology to make this input method mainstream.
