I finally managed to get Github Hubot running on my Windows 7 64 bits machine. Thanks to  Sean Copenhaver & Thomas Kahlow which pointed me to the correct direction on the ‘Run hubot on windows’ discussion.

So here is how I did it.

If you are a user of the fantastic DropBox tool you might know that you have to organize your folders under a top root folder. This was really an issue for me which I wanted to solve because I like to organize my files in a different manner.

I used the mklink command from a Windows Command

Tonight during the preparation of an usb stick using Windows 7 USB/DVD Download I got an error message about bootsect just at the end of the creation of bootable usb stick. Following the troubleshoot link I arrived on the following

When I switched on today my second hard drive I had the following issue displayed

The disk is offline because it has a signature collision with another disk that is online

Yesterday I bought a new Western Digital external hard drive of 1TB for 109CHF, incredible how cheap it is now.

Then I configured my Windows 7 backup to use this new hard drive, very easy and the backup in less than 2 minutes.

For some days I had the following issue on my Windows 7 installation: clicking on the start orb then on Devices and Printers would open the window, show a progress bar and then nothing else, a completely empty folder.

I tried a restore that didn’t solved the issue but it reminded me that I installed some days ago a Bluetooth software for a Bluetooth headset I received as a Microsoft MVP gift. This gave me the direction to search for.

I installed Windows 7 the day after it was released on MSDN. I am discovering daily new things that improve my productivity and I am really delighted about it.

Today I was back to work at Innoveo Solutions and adding the HP Color Laserjet 5500 printer was just so easy but the best was that we can now manage default printers per network. At home I have a HP Laserjet 4000 that is set as my default printer when I connect my notebook to my home LAN. When I connect to the Innoveo Solutions LAN my default printer is set automatically to the HP Color Laserjet 5500 printer. It might be a detail, but in the past it happened several time, doing home office and printing on the office printer when I wanted to print on the home printer.
