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.
