Personality Quiz...

Funny part is I never take these.... however a coworker was asking me, I actually liked this one, it was all just clicking on pics, it just felt more natural than well picking options from text. :D

Say no to IE6

Last week at work, one of our clients complained that our application was showing no results on a particular page. After some investigation it turned out they were using IE6 and the content was just pushed down after all the other content on the page.

So to all those IT folks out PLEASE PLEASE upgrade from IE6, and save the developers.

iPhone gets support for Exchange & SDK

Alright this I am really happy about. I am not a big apple user. I have a mac in my office, but it runs windows 99% of the time. I have a windows mobile phone (T-mobile Dash), and I like T-mobile.

But Apple has me thinking if I should in fact get an iPhone. It would have every feature I want except for a few

1. I can not add any application I want.
2. Only AT&T
3. No 3G

For now 3 and 2 are my main reasons for keeping out of it, but it really would not take much for me to switch.

Congrats to the iPhone SDK team & Apple. And Jobs.... I am impressed.

Silverlight media player

I have been working on a web based media player that streams my music from home. I used to use GNUmp3d and it worked great, then I moved everything over to my Media Center box.

So I built my own replacement for GNUmp3d which replicated all the functionality in ASP.net using the Windows media player API. Then I realized I could use Silverlight or a Flash based player in the web site, and thus not having a client application at all.

I will post posted my web application soon, and then hopefully post basic silverlight front end soon as figure out my way around it.

Windows Vista installing Adminpak for windows 2003

Ok, after looking at the http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx/kb/930056 article, and installing http://support.microsoft.com/kb/932246, I kept noticing that no matter what I did my 64 bit Vista would not run any of the mmc snapins provided.

So after a while, I realized that while the script i was running specified in kb930056 was using regsvr32, it was not using the correct one. There are two regsvr32s in 64 bit windows, one in the system32 folder (which is really the 64 bit one) and one in the syswow64 folder(which is the 32 bit one). Once i modified the script to run the 32bit regsvr32 in the syswow64 folder everything worked. Microsoft should have probably documented this, I wonder if they even consider 64bit as a major platform yet.
