I managed to track down bluetooth drivers for
my Toshiba Tecra M4 Tablet PC which work under Vista RTM.
Though I'm having trouble getting my christmas present, the Lego
Mindstorms NXT, connecting to the tablet (so I can use the Microsoft
Robotics Studio).
Time to buy a compatible bluetooth dongle and hope it also works under Vista.
Santas started his yearly trip delivering his presents. You can keep track of his
progress over at SportsDo.
It's not been on tv this year, and Christmas just doesn't ever feel like Christmas
until I see the advert
I'm not talking about closing the toilet lid (and not just putting the seat down as
women seem to think is acceptable!).
Anyway...
I've just been pulling my hair out over why a zip file generated using SharpZipLib was
being corrupted when returned from a webpage, saving to disk on the server worked
flawlessly. The file sent to the client was approximately 7kb larger than the one
saved on the server.
Now usually I use the using statement to dispose of any objects that use resources
but for some reason I wasn't calling Response.Close() in my method (Close() just
calls Dispose(true)).
What's even more annoying is there was the case...
I'm working with Virtual Earth 3D at the moment
and noticed IE7 can go upto 400mb Memory Usage. I've discovered how to make it drop
to a nice reasonable memory footprint...simply minimize IE and all the memory gets
freed up to a nicer and much smaller number. Maximizing the window afterwards
doesn't cause a sudden memory frenzy either.
So if you're having problems with greedy VE3D just minimize and maximize.
Theres a rumour that
apple will be replacing Aqua with
'Illuminous'.
