Vista Beta 2

Nat Luengnaruemitchai — Wed, 24 May 2006 21:11:00 GMT

As you all know, Vista Beta 2 is out. So I jumped in. So far, I am happy with the new experience. There are a couple issues though: 1. IE stopped working after I installed Omea Reader. I found that two plugins that Omea Reader installed into IE are not compatible. So I disabled them and it was working again. 2. Then I installed VS.NET 2005 and JDK 1.5.0_07, after that I could start up IE but once I clicked or typed anything in IE window, it just stopped responding. So I cannot browse anything anymore. It's a pity but now I have to use Firefox now in Vista :( 3. Media Player seems to work with music only :P. I tried to open many video files. All I saw was the visualizer. I could not configure it to show the video. Is it just me? Updated: 2. I found out that I have to turn protection mode to off so that I can use my IE again 3. I also found out that my video files are encoded in format that MP11 doesn't support. Probably I need to install more codecs.

Duncan Watts' Seminar

Today I went to Duncan Watt's seminar organized by Lab49 about social networking. Thanks to Lab49, it was a nice event to know more people. After two years of attempt to meet with him, I finally got a chance to meet with Matt Davey, a person who I admired for a long time. He recently joined Lab49. Another person I would like to meet up again is Damien Morton. However, sadly Damien couldn't make it.

Did someone at Microsoft think about Windows Team Foundation? :-)

Windows 2003 R2 on Mac?

Nat Luengnaruemitchai — Fri, 09 Dec 2005 17:15:00 GMT

My friend just passed me the link to Windows 2003 R2 which recently went RTM. It's at http://www.microsoft.com/windowsserversystem/default.mspx. One thing interesting is the picture on the lower right hand corner near trial software link. It's the picture of iBook power inlet. Does R2 run on Mac? Is it Mac X86?

If it does so, I would like to buy one now. Hehe.....

Matrix in The City

For those you haven't watched, this is a spoof video called “Sex and the Matrix”. It is directed by Joel Gallen for 2000 MTV movie awards. Funniness guaranteed.

Pittsburgh is vulnerable to undead attack

ZPI researchers did some study whether the city is ready for attack or not and found that the city of Pittsburgh doesn't have a good plan to handle the zombie attack if that ever happens.
