Quick update on installation of VS 2005 Web Dev Express Edition

Tuesday, June 29th, 2004

Just a quick note, got it installed just now. Though the final setup seems like it probably froze. (This is just after the two reboots). But it works anyway. Haven’t really played with it, but created one of the Start Kit sites, which is a Photo Album. Interesting choice… I’ll play with it tommorow night [...]

Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition

Tuesday, June 29th, 2004

Just got home, and went to check out the channel9 site [http://channel9.msdn.com] and saw something new (aside from the layout). It’s called Visual Studio 2005 Express Edition. And it comes in 5 flavours. VB 2005 Express, C# 2005 Express, J# 2005 Express, Visual Web Dev 2005 Express (And there is also SQL Server 2005 Express). [...]

A Java VM for .NET

Tuesday, June 29th, 2004

Yes, it sounds quite odd… A Java Virtual Machine for Microsoft.NET… Well, was cleaning up some old archives of the aus-dotnet mailing list, and found the link to it here: http://weblog.ikvm.net

New site design for Channel9

Tuesday, June 29th, 2004

Just noticed that they are currently putting up a new design over at the channel9.msdn.com website. Some pages are still a bit buggy to load though, so maybe i’ll just stay off it for a few hours and hope that it’ll be once again running smoothly If you haven’t heard of Channel9, go check them [...]

Dr Neil is blogging!

Monday, June 28th, 2004

As mentioned by Marcie here, Dr Neil Roodyn has started a blog! I’ve added Dr Neil’s ATOM feed to RSS Bandit now. I like the photo in his recent post. It looks really nice, would be a great place to visit and watch the sunset. Or just to get some peace and quiet, as the [...]

GMail + GMail musings…

Thursday, June 24th, 2004

Had 6 GMail invites this morning, and gave them all out to people on the aus-dotnet mailing list… Admittedly, I did not request for them to do anything to earn one. I could easily have asked something in return. Could have asked them all to go sign up for a blogger.com account and post at [...]

Tommorow’s MDNUG meeting (22/06/2004)

Monday, June 21st, 2004

Noticed yesterday that the topics for tommorow’s MDNUG meeting were up, Refactoring and a tool called Codesmith. Both should be worth attending to learn more about. I’ve heard about Codesmith but never used it. And Refactoring, I’ve heard many good things about. Should be interesting. The upcoming version of Visual Studio .NET (VS.NET 2005, formerly [...]

Wow, and there goes 21…

Monday, June 21st, 2004

I guess it’s time I did a more personal type of blog entry on here. Hey, why not? It’s my blog, so I decide on the content, right? So, I just turned 22 today. I can wave goodbye to the year that has gone by since June 21st of last year. Much has happened, many [...]

Wifi Security

Saturday, June 19th, 2004

This is a belated response to Mikal‘s response to my post about going wireless. I just wanted to state that I’m currently using WPA which changes it’s keys quite often after a certain number of packets have been sent (unlike WEP which has to be changed manually). I was a bit bored on the way [...]
