Migrate Shares and Backups to New System – I’m posting this for reference purposes. I’m about to finalise a new WHS, and all I needed to do was read the post I’ve linked to in order to tell me that there’s no way I want to bother going through all that.

Suppress Splash Screen in Visual Studio and SQL Server Management Studio Express – I wouldn’t say that splash screens are exactly the bane of my existence, but it’s always nice to save some time, so this one could be pretty useful (if I remember it every time I do a new install).
It’s actually quite an interesting exercise in terms of perception that having no splash screen makes things feel quicker.

Enhance your input fields with jQuery – the demo looks good, but I always smell positioning nightmares with this sort of stuff.
Make your TFS installation even more complicated by installing Microsoft Visual Studio Scrum 1.0!

Doing an ASP.NET postback via JQuery / Javascript falls into the category of “things that I wish I didn’t have to do too often, but probably will when clients need random crazy stuff, so it’s nice to have something in the toolbox to handle it”.

Herman Miller Envelop Reclining Desk – looks shiny, and pretty comfortable. Not being able to hold heavier monitors is a deal breaker for me.

You don’t need to scale as big as facebook – really – it’s true, you don’t. Sometimes people need to be reminded of that.

World of Warcraft maker to end anonymous forum logins – I can’t see any way that this is going to go through, and just as well. The separation between gaming lives/identities is something a lot of people strive to protect for valid reasons. It’s unfortunate there are many others who keep them separate for more malicious reasons, but that’s life.
