Cursor Disappears After Upgrading to Windows 8.1

One of our family friends came over tonight complaining of her cursor going missing after applying the Windows 8.1 upgrade to her new laptop. After a lot of fussing with it for 20 minutes and some google-fu I found this thread:

Which explains that for whatever reason toggling the trackpad disable button causes the cursor to re-appear and stay visible even when re-disabling it. Quite an irritating bug.

I Recommend Querious

I finally bought a copy of Querious by the wonderful folks over at Araelium Group I’ve been using it more and more in my web development workflow and once I have time I’ll try and sit down and do a proper review. Until then, if you need a decent app for administering/developing on a MySQL5 Server, I can’t speak more highly of this product.
