I remember when I used to have a blog.  Realistically, I like the idea of having a blog more than actually blogging.  More specifically, I really like playing with the setting/themes/widgets in Wordpress.

That is all.

Uninstall Office 2010 Technical Preview (Mondo)

September 23rd, 2009 matt 27 comments

Apparently I’m not the only one who checked out Office 2k10 Technical Preview (Mondo) and was then unable to uninstall it. When trying to remove with Add/Remove Programs, I would just get an error that it was corrupt, and I had to re-install from the CD or file. Re-installation did nothing to fix the problem, but a bit of searching turned up this little gem in a help forum:

To uninstall Office 2010 14.0.4302.1000 if you have an uninstall error message “This product installation has been corrupted”.
The Problem is a missing file in the installation folder of office 2010. Office 2010 has an Setup Controller directory and uses the directory to check the installed components. please check the directory “C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\OFFICE14\Office Setup Controller\Groove.en-us\”. if you have no “Setup.xml” file there please copy the file from the “Groove.en-us” directory of the source files to this directory and test the uninstallation again.

Many thanks to Vikas Narula at http://social.technet.microsoft.com/ for the amazing fix.

My current workspace… I love my job.

A Whole Lot of Nothing

August 11th, 2009 matt No comments

Well, I’ve taken quite a break from blogging obviously, but just about ready to hop back in the saddle.  For various reason, I’ve also been taking a break from linux.  I was quite happy with the Release Candidate of Windows 7, and ended up with it on the two computers I use the most.  Then I got really busy and I didn’t have time to get Linux on anything so I just kept the status quo for a while.  Finally the other night I had the feeling that enough was enough, I needed some Linux, and Windows 7 was pretty and all, but it just wasn’t cutting it for me.

I’ve been ‘borrowing’ a tiny Lenovo X41 from the IT department, and have been very happy with the portability.  Just to get a quick fix, I dumped Windows 7 for Xubuntu 9.04, but then something else caught my eye.  It’s called Ubuntu 9.04 Netbook Remix, and I’m about to give it a whirl on here and see how she handles.
