Tired of running a dark theme in visual studio, only to be blinded when you switch to SSMS? Me too. I very much enjoy this dark theme in Visual Studio 2008. That being said, I almost cry everytime I have to switch back and forth between Visual Studio and Management Studio. Luckily, I ran across this...
Happened across this glorious error this evening. Somehow my IServiceProvider COM Object was unregistered from the system through the course of several windows updates, and application uninstalls. Error: Unable to cast COM object of type 'System.__ComObject' to interface type 'Microsoft.VisualStudio...
After running into some issues this morning with an outdated database and the new theme I wanted, I decided it was time to upgrade TexasViking.com to Graffiti 1.2 ! Here are the steps I took: Backup your site! Or at least the folders that are going to be replaced/updated with 1.2. Also backup your database...
Time to join the Windows Home Server crowd. After hearing/reading about all of the awesome features in WHS, and, with a little birthday money in my pocket, I decided it was time to build a Home Server. Requirements: Silent! I don’t want a 747 during take-off in my office! I want to display the...
Like many of you, I'm now running a 64-bit operating system (Windows Server 2008) for my development environment. Although it may seem outdated, Access still has some use to me (mainly because we use Microsoft's Web Application Stress Tool for load testing).
Just recently, I ran into an odd issue that I couldn't understand, so I put forth the power of Google to find my answer; specifically, the error appeared in the following code:
I cleaned out my garage 2 nights ago to make room for something here in the next few days... (more details on that to follow!) I called the Salvation Army to donate my items through their "At Home Pick-up" service. I scheduled an appointment for Thursday (10/2) and had everything outside on...
I just wanted to talk briefly about my recent acquisition of a netbook, their benefits, and which one(s) to choose if you're in the market.
Personally, I wanted something very small, but something that still retained the overall feel of a notebook. PDA's and other UMPC's are becoming more and more available, but they still lack certain key features that kept me from jumping on them.
So as some, but most of you don't know, I sold my Macbook a few weeks back. I decided that even though I enjoyed the OS X experience, my current field of work and school pretty much required me to have a Windows based machine. However, I really wanted to go smaller, to keep weight down, and maintain this sort of "minimalist" mood I'm in lately. (Basically I'm in this "keep everything clean and neat" state-of-mind.) So, after having sold the Macbook, and depositing the money from it, I decided the newly released Dell Mini 9 looked right up my alley.
Upgrades:
After waiting two weeks for the order, the Dell Mini 9 finally arrived at my house, and I set off to get it setup with what I needed for school and home leisure use:
Intel Capital, Intel’s global investment organization, today announced an agreement to acquire a $20 million stake in Telligent Systems, makers of social computing solutions and business intelligence tools.

So, after my glorious x64 Vista install on my 2.16 Ghz Macbook (successful I might add), I ran into a small problem. I need an 32 bit XP box for my school applications this semester... so it's back to XP. I've run into a few problems this evening though, and thought I would share for those of you who...
