JBoss Seam not rendering any tags?
If you ever run into the weird situation where you use JBoss Seam with Facelets and everything seems to be working, except the page does not render any tag - no matter whether it is s, h, f, a4j, rich or ui (the common abbreviations for them), then have a look at faces-config.xml. I once made the simple mistake of calling the file faces_config.xml, effectively the same as not having that file. However since it WAS there and did look almost like faces-config.xml, I missed it for 3 hours. Do not make the same mistake - ensure that file is there, correctly spelt and in the xxx.war/WEB-INF/faces-config.xml location.
Office 2010 Professional Plus on Win 7 breaks Excel file associations
I have just removed Office 2007 Professional and installed Office 2010 Professional Plus RTM on my Windows 7 Ultimate x64 machine. I chose the x64 bit version of Office.
However, all my .xls and .xlsx file associations were missing. And it did not help going to File -> Properties -> Change association as no matter what I did, I could not add Excel to the list of applications. No amount of Repair / etc worked.
So I fired up Regedit.exe, went to HKCR.xlsx and deleted that key. Instantly the .xlsx files on my computer were associated with Excel. I could now right click on .xls files, and change their default application to Excel.

The one error you do NOT want to see
It might not look all that serious, but getting this when trying to boot into Directory Services Restore Mode is a bummer... Only solution I could find was to install a parallel copy of Windows 2003 SBS Server, then copy over the registry files from a good backup over the corrupt installation. And if your server have any kind of SAS RAID drive, Windows 2003 SBS Server will not recognise them, and will need the drivers in a floppy drive on A:. But as we all know that does not really exist anymore so... Slipstream your Windows 2003 SBS CD1...
Weird Spring
I know this post is a bit out of sequence, but I just processed this photo I took on 11 March 2010. Spring was in full swing when we had a sudden snow fall one morning - all the pink blossoms were covered in a white blanket. Quite cool!
