Interesting Virginmedia links
I was investigating intermittent speed issues on my VM line, and I came across this thread.
One of the posters, apcyberax, had some interesting links in thier signature:
They also seem to be collecting ratings on UBR performance, which was also interesting.

All old blog posts now redirected
I spent a bit of time today redirecting all the old blog posts (from my local Community Server install) to their new location (custom domain on Blogger).
I eventually decided to stop the existing Community Server site and run a blank website in it's place.
I then used the free version of Helicon Tech's ISAPI_Rewrite to redirect all the old Community Server paths to the new Blogger location, a simple robots.txt refirect, and then threw in a wildcard redirect at the end to catch any other links (including comments that I didn't copy across).
It was actually quite easy to do in the end but needed to be done as adsense was still showing 10x more visits to the old blog as opposed to the new one. Also, since the fit of the new 100Mb line, I haven't had the port forwarded to the old server.
I'll run it for a while until all the search engines are updated and I can then finally drop my local server.

Handbrake Video Transcoder
I found this open source application when trying to find some software to transcode videos to an iPad.
I didn't need it in the end, as the paid for software I have by CucuSoft was quicker.
Still, looks great for free.

DVD Flick
Nice little open source program to create DVD's.

The CD drive or the DVD drive does not work as expected on a computer that you upgraded to Windows Vista
I had a problem with the DVD drive on my laptop with Windows 7 and Kaspersky.
I kept getting an error 19 in device manager.
It didn't appear to like the Kaspersky filter or Gears ASPI filter.
I think it was probably the Gears filter as this didn't return and the DVD drive appears to be working again.
