Windows 7

Well I’d thought I’d get on the band wagon that is Windows 7. Its a little scary when you hear on Radio 1 that Microsoft wanted you to have a house party on the launch day and that there is a Windows 7 branded Burger King burger that would most likely decrease your life expectancy by half and also a Family Guy episode but anyway Windows 7 is here. However as you might know I’ve been using Windows 7 for a while and this post isn’t going to let you about how amazing it it, in fact I suppose this post is more an update on my placement. I just called it Windows 7 to get in with the cool kids.

I’ve nearly finished converting a website from a static html design in to a content management system called Kentico. I’ve never worked with Kentico, let alone aspx, but after about a week of scratching my head and wondering what the hell is going on I finally made progress. Its been a good learning curve and it takes me back to my web designing day. The site its self is nothing fancy the aim of this is to allow the site to be developed further so it is very much a conversion process than creating the site from scratch. Which brings me on to a little rant…
A web development company designed this site considering this I was quite shocked at how poorly this website had been built. Its seems like consistency has been thrown out the window. An example; Half way though a page the text font would change! How do people get a way from designing such rubbish quality work?

Any who it seems like a new project for me is to create a new Windows 7 domain set-up for a local company. I’ve got experience in 2003 domains so but a 2008 domain shouldn’t be too different or maybe even easier? I think not but that what research is for!

On that note I think I’ll end this rather short but slightly informing post. This weekend I’m off to Sheffield to see my sister are university
