So who else plays Xbox 360? What are you gamer tags? What games do you play? I play Call of Duty 2 and King Kong right now. I just picked up Oblivion too, can’t wait to start that. I also picked up some used games, original Xbox games – Ford Mustang Racing, Star Wars Knights of the Old Republic, and Cabelas Deer Hunting. EB Games – seriously they need to post what original Xbox games work with the 360. I pulled xbox.com up on my pocket pc at the store, but come on. I used it, this other guy there also asked me about a game. The employees were like “dood, it changes too often” – whatever – print it out once a week.

Once I get it all up there, it will be sweet. I like it already, and if my drive on my music server crashes, no biggie 🙂

Happy Earth Day
Happy Earth Day everyone.. 🙂
been searching for a while on how to test HttpContext and Cache in VS2005 Unit Tests, using the built in unit testing suite. Found this today..just add
TextWriter tw = new StringWriter();
HttpWorkerRequest wr = new SimpleWorkerRequest(“/webapp”, “c:inetpubwwwrootwebapp”, “default.aspx”, “”, tw);
HttpContext.Current = new HttpContext(wr);
to you test method and the correct “using” statements, and boom – it works – up goes your code coverage % 🙂
I bought an Xbox 360 today. ScaleOvenStove is my gamer tag for Xbox Live – I put the card up on the sidebar of my blog. I got Call of Duty 2 and King Kong, I am liking it so far, also the Media Center Extender capabilities. Pretty Sweet – I am already happy with the purchase

Microsofts ActiveX Debacle
Funny, Microsoft had to change the way they handle ActiveX in the browser because they lost a patent…well, Outlook Web 2003 succumbs to the change, as in a new message, it asks you to hit enter or tab to activate the control. What a waste…you would think they could have a better workaround or just pay licensing on the patent.

Backing Up DVD's
I have around 70 DVD’s, and I want to just watch them from my computer. I first thought about just ripping to avi/divx, which is good, but you lose metadata. Also, with Media Center Edition 2005, there is the My DVDs area which you dont get to use with avi’s. I decided to use DVDShrik and DVDProfiler to just rip my dvd’s to my hard disk in the raw format. I figured if I wanted to then convert to avi I can. One thing is though, I need more hard drive space. 🙂
