Congratulations, Nagy! Why did you choose Hungary, if I may ask? Better gin?

Hungary chose me. I moved there with work nearly 20 years ago, I am married to a very beautiful Hungarian lady and we have two gorgeous girls. Our home is there and when we retire that is where we intend to live.
So it was a bit of a no brainer to take citizenship in the country that is my home.

Home is where the heart is, eh? Good choice!

Happy Saint-Jean-Batiste [^] (or Fête Nationale du Québec) to y'all. (irony to put the english version instead of the french version).
Anyway,
Bonne Saint-Jean to everyone.

IE 11 is doing a lot of 'waiting for xxxxx' this week, is anyone else seeing this?
I wonder if its to do with the bolus of updates it was forced to swallow recently, but the Telegraph, Hotmail, Fox, all sorts of pages just aren't displaying.
edit
Got fed up so I rebooted. Its back to normal now.
Good old Microsoft eh? What a joke.

Corporately, we were moved to IE 11 last week; so far, not so bad.
As a developer, I can also use Chrome.
But more to the point...
We have a 3rd party browser based application in SharePoint that uses Abode SVG viewer. Yes, not good on all fronts.
After the IE 11 push, the SVG viewer won't load (or isn't registered? not sure which). The 'fix' has been to uninstall/reinstall the SVG viewer. As an admin, I can; regulary abusers can't.
Has anyone else seen this or have any ideas?

Why would you need a plugin? IE9+ supports SVG natively[^], with the caveat that you might need to use a workaround[^] to make it scale properly.

Thank you.. interesting.. it is a 3rd party product, so I'm not sure how they are implementing the graphics. But, I'll relay that information (the person who works on it sits next to me).

Well the bits only went to grab a byte, when they come back it should be quicker.

You shouldn't be visiting xxxxx sites, then.

My IE11 started misbehaving last week...constant freezing for up to two or three minutes at a time. I made Chrome the default browser and carried on. My only complaint about Chrome is that I can't seem to find the 'home' button/link. Getting back to a search window means closing then re-opening the tab...or maybe I'm blind!

Yeah, chrome and firefox wont run on our systems though.
Stil, rebooting the pc seems to have fixed it. It had ben no for days and days. Typical MSFT.

Contrary to popular belief, nobody owes you anything.

Thanks! Just what I was looking for!

Hi Guys,
I've been tasked with identifying a potential outsourcing partner for my current company (Not getting into whether I agree with outsourcing!) - I've got a couple of leads (Geeks, Chettu), but I thought I'd see if any of you guys have had any good experiences with UK based outsourcers. Not wedded to the it being UK (that's more for my management simplicity - timezones and all that jazz), so if there's a good overseas one, please do let me know.
Also interested in "Don't for god's sake use these guys because...." comments!
Cheers all!

I have worked with Cap Gemini[^] in the past - and it was OK.
However as with all outsourcing you need good managers on your side or the whole thing will go a bit

Oh yeah - been there, done that. We have an Indian office and they struggle to take responsibility and require constant supervision....
The only ones that trump this is our dealings with a Russian group. They had a constant time estimation:
Us:
How long will 'xxxxxx' take?
Them:
That be big change...um...two weeks.
or:
Not sure...um...two weeks.
Any change was two weeks....how that works I don't know
This all led us to use the phrase:
From Russia, with Bugs
