Thoughts and wanderings around the internet, e-government and geekdom.
Larry has a fantastically useful page identifying the things that still go wrong in Microsoft CRM installations in a Small Business Server environment. Reports are now working, so we’re nearly there…
I forgot to mention DownHome, who were also great.
A new update rollup is available as well.
The NHS procurement eEnablement strategy is now live. We helped a great group of people draw it together. Summary: the NHS doesn’t make effective use of the information about the goods and services it purchases. We have a route to make better use of that information which depends on putting some key enablers in place, increasing adoption and ensuring delivery.
Happy Birthday to Jonathan, just back from NYC. He enjoyed the Ellis Island museum – it is still one of my favourite experiences of America, as I have previously mentioned.
Just like the Taj Mahal, El Bulli blows you away. There’s not a restaurant that comes close. We were lucky beyond belief to get in and are suitably grateful. All over again tomorrow, please.
Multiple-choice tests just aren’t hard if you grade by counting right answers. Thankfully I doubt I’ll have to do many more, but I’m glad we had to do real exam questions when I was learning.
A really hard test would be colonising space. Kurzweil thinks we can do it relatively easily. Charlie Stross isn’t so sure.
Funny that Accenture’s new report talks about Delivering on the promise – the now defunct content management system that ran a lot of government websites. Good news that we are rising, though.
Lots of good stuff in the unedited evidence that Granger gave to the health committee.
I got the following error showing up on the IIS logs:Error: The Template Persistent Cache initialization failed for Application Pool ‘DefaultAppPool’ because of the following error: Could not create a Disk Cache Sub-directory for the Application Pool. The data may have additional error codes.
Mr Barber helped me fix permissions on certain directories. Not seeing the error again doesn’t mean it worked, though, does it!
