Many of you know of ORCSWeb either by reputation, or by way of Scott Forsyth, one of my ASP.NET MVP brothers.  In case you don’t, they are a managed hosting solutions company specializing in Microsoft technologies.  I’ve used their basic services for quite a while and have always been very happy.  It has always seemed that anytime I’ve called them (and it always seems like the middle of the night) one of their tech support staff is always available to help me, and go the extra mile if necessary.

The company I’m now working at is small and we don’t have a lot of resources to maintain hardware and do operating system type support.  We do have a high load requirement so we need a very robust supported solution.  Before this, I’d always been in the under $50 per month type plan with ORCSWeb, but I decided I needed more servers and a higher level of support.  I really did not know what level of support to expect when signing up for the managed servers but decided to go for it anyway.

All  can say is WOW!!!  I am over the top impressed.

The company I work for, 3PLogic, recently moved into a cubicle 4 pack at Plug and Play here in Sunnyvale, California.  We are a leading edge development shop building super high tech applications for the transportation industry.  Plug and Play seems to be the perfect place for us.  It’s got a great vibe. Lots of other startup companies just like us, trying to break into new markets as well as a handful of more experienced ones who know how it’s done.

Nice job from both twitter and facebook on how to make badges for your web sites.  Seems like there could be many other places this technology could be used.

So, if you run a notebook with different monitor configurations, you may find yourself unable to find a program you launched to a different monitor previously.  Happened to me with NotePad++ today.

So, in Vista, you would right click on the taskbar program, choose move, then use the arrow keys to bring it back.

In Windows 7, press Shift-Right Mouse Button, then choose move, then press the arrows and you are good as new.  10 minutes wasted searching, but I’m good now.

Here are some other short cuts.
