jeepx reports that the University of Washington has released a report that they found a way to track people without their consent or knowledge when they are using the iPod + Nike sport kit. The iPod + Nike kit tracks the distance you have traveled by submitting information wirelessly from the sensor in your shoe to your iPod. They say that the internet-connected tracking kit could be built for less than $250 and would work up to 60 feet from someone using the iPod + Nike kit. The tracking application...
I didn't really like how I was storing some of our SQL connection information. It was buried deep in the file system in an XML file, but it was still plain text. So I spent my day looking at the different encryption options in the .net framework. I needed it to be two-way encryption so our objects could still work with it, so I decided on Rijndael. I found some great code, modified what I needed and wrapped it in one of our objects. It works pretty well. Now only if KU could have pulled it out...
UAC (User Account Control) is the new security model for Vista. Basically, it tries to run everything with the least expected permissions, even if you are running as an admin. Based on file type, file name and other parameters, it tries to figure out what permissions the application is going to need. If it thinks the application will need extended permissions, it will ask to continue (if you are an admin) and attach administrative permissions to the application. Daniel Moth has posted a collection...

Sometimes you will want your clients to install your applications from a cd. Or they will not always have access to the internet. You can still use a ClickOnce application for this, and take advantage of the ClickOnce application updating features when they are connected to the internet. 1) Create your application in Visual Studio 2005 and enable ClickOnce security settings (My Project -> Security). 2) On the Publish tab of My Project, enter a folder on your computer as the Publishing location. 3)...
2005 KC Dev Con was good. The speakers were informed and the sessions got to the point quickly. There was the expected Microsoft spin...plugging VS 2005 and making sure we knew that EVERYTHING was being ran inside VirtualPC. There must have been a memo about it...We heard VirtualPC over 40 times I bet. I attended the Smart Client Track where Jon Box talked typed datasets, binding sources, background workers, as well as a bunch of cool stuff you can do with Visual Studio Tools for Office. I'm still...

Then reset the security level of Trusted Sites to Low. You can now go back to the /publish.htm page and run your application with out getting the security warnings
Downloaded and installed XP SP2 today. It took about 3 hours to download from MSDN and install. The new wireless network GUI is nice. The security center is cool. I installed one of the recommended anti-virus applications (CA's EZ Trust) It tried to take over the firewall and it had all these popups and it was just annoying so I uninstalled it. The new windows update is out too. Nothing really different, new interface and some links for network admins. When you install an update from Windows Update...
Like many others, I started using FireFox as my browser due to the security scares and mostly due to performance issues of IE. It was loading slower than it used to. However, FireFox didn't work well with certain sites, like MSDN and my bank. So downloaded all the Office and Windows updates, and gave IE another chance. Maybe its all in my head, but the speed issues I was having before have seemed to go away, so I reset my default browser to IE
Well, after attending DevEssentials in Kansas City and listening to Jeff Julian speak on the importance of community and blogging your individual development efforts, I decided it would be a good idea to start blogging on my own. I have been moblogging for a while, but this is my first official text post. I live in Lawrence, KS and develop in .net, SQL, and VBA Access for a small virtual company. I have been programming ever since my Dad gave me a Mac Plus and ZBasic at the ripe age of 10. I also...
