This is great:

OK, so here is my third track. “So Happy” – its hopefully not as sad as the others. I promise my next song will be about rainbows and puppy dogs, I’m sure Brad and Brye will be happy to help me with the lyrics. Once again I’m not to keen on the vocals, but, eh, what do you do.
Anyways, here is the link

My Own "Geek TV"
Well, I usually watch videos from channel9 or other tech videos online. I usually download them and try to watch them on my machine when I have time. Tonight, I had an idea.
Get the video in my Public/Video folder on Vista Ultimate. Watch it through my TV using Xbox 360 as the extender.
Right now I’m watching, “Steve Teixeira and Bill Dunlap: Visual C++ Today and Tomorrow” on my TV in my living room, and it looks/sounds great. Here is a challenge the the IT guys reading my blog:
Lets set this up on the TV above the fridge.
Set up a share to dump tech vidcasts to, and then have them play non stop in the break room.
With this new setup now, Netflix, and getting shows off the internet, I’m not sure I need cable anymore 🙂
If upgrading a C++ project from VS2003 to VS2005, you might run into this error. LNK1104: cannot open file ‘LIBC.lib’
I resolved it by doing the following:
Project->Properties->Configuration Properties->Linker->Input
Ignore Specific Library: libc.lib
I guess VS2003 has there by default, from what I have been reading.

Weather Forcasts are Goofy
Ok, so the last two days, the weather has been somewhat agreeable, like, above 0. What I don’t get is, you look at the forecast and it says “High of 13”, but the temp outside is like, 20 already. You would think they would go adjust the forecast and say, “High of 20” or maybe even higher than that. Thing is, looking at the forecast where they high is already beaten out by mother nature, the forecast is worthless 🙂

FeedDemon is cool!
FeedDemon – no, its not the devil 🙂
I have been reading RSS feeds for some time now, probably 2003-2004, I started off with SharpReader, then moved to RSSBandit, then I tried out NewsGator. NewsGator had/has a plugin for Outlook, and before Outlook 2007 this was cool, I used it for awhile. I noticed though that I wasn’t getting as much out of it as I was from using NewsGator online. The one cool thing about NewsGator is that is more of a feed storage engine than anything. I can use the Media Center plugin to read feeds there, there is some mobile stuff, and I can goto any computer or use any program that supports the NewsGator API and my feeds OPML sync across all clients.
I have also tried BlogLines but just never thought it was user friendly enough. I also tried Outlook 2007 for about 10 minutes and knew right away I would be back like the NewsGator plugin for Outlook.
So, a while back, NewsGator aquired FeedDemon, and in it’s early form, it was kind of so-so. They recently upgraded it and you can get it here. I downloaded it a couple weeks ago, and wow – what a great tool.
I subscribe to between 350-400 feeds at any given time, and it gets to be a lot, and FeedDemon really helps me sort through the crap, and read feeds faster. The cool things are Watches and News Bin. I can set up a search on keywords and it will find them so I can read those faster, also, I can quickly save a post to a News Bin and go back to it later. It also integrates with IE (which is OK, I use Firefox all the time, but with IE7 at least I feel somewhat secure), and there are tabs within the app itself which makes life easier.
I will say, that there are some features that I think could be added .For one, an easier way to mark pages read, especially at the bottom of a page, and better emailing integration. There is a cool feature that will analyze your feeds and make a “front page” that shows the most popular posts. I wish I could run this on more than just all my feeds, maybe run this on a sub folder, etc.
In any event, if you read a lot of RSS Feeds, I would recommend checking out FeedDemon. It is a 30 day free trial, and $30 after that, which I am gladly going to fork over 🙂

Netflix
So, I signed up for Netflix this week. Started off with the 3rd season of 24. I really like the rating and social features of the site.
If you have a Netflix account and want to be my friend, here is the link

Endless Saturday
Well, here is another song. This one, I don’t really think is the best it could be. Recorded kind of in a rush. Vocals – ugh 🙂
Thing is, Saturday is like the longest day of the week. Especially if you have no one to hang with. Seems like it can go on forever.
Endless Saturday
Yeah, people think I sound too sad – well, OK, I promise I’ll write a happy song for all you doubters out there 🙂
if you are doing a Response.Redirect, and are seeing this error, try something like this
string url = someUrlWithNewLines;
url.Replace(“nr”, “”)
Response.Redirect(url);
Seems trivial, but I have seen the error crop up many times. Just for kicks I did a Google search on it, and a lot of people are asking about it, but no real answer. So, here it is 🙂
