I recently come across this posting, this is something I totally agree with ...

Recently I was trying to get the Wi-Fi on the Fujitsu B-Pad to connect to my coporate network. Since my corporate network was using strong encryption. I had to export my certificate from the laptop and import it on the Windows Mobile device.

This is where i was struck, as when I export a certificate from the laptop it creates a .pfx file, which is not one of the support formats for importing in the Windows mobile device, then i came across this site http://www.jacco2.dds.nl/networking/crtimprt.html which showed me the light :-)

Since the time I got the new thinkpad I was fustrated that I have to press two keys ('Ctrl-Esc') to simulate the Windows Key, Then I found how to remap any key of my choice at this site http://www.hanselman.com/blog/GryoscopesAndRemappingAWindowsButtonForTheIBMThinkPad.aspx 

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\Keyboard Layout]
"Scancode Map"=hex:00,00,00,00,00,00,00,00,02,00,00,00,5B,E0,38,E0,00,00,00,00

to make the Right-Alt as the Windows Key.

This weekend my blog was hacked! the message from the hacker "HACKED BY LORD FOR IRAQ! Turkish Hacker :) "

and in the eventual clean up, I upgraded to ver 1.8 for the dasBlog.

Also changed the theme to 'Portal'.

Look what happened to the me on my birthday bash.

Attended Tech•Ed 2005after a gap of 4 years!

The First day Started with laser show (which I am getting a little tired off, from last 8 months I have seen the same laser show with the same music and the same patterns at different venues, good ROI for the company which sells this ;-))

First Break out session i decided against the Architecture Track( I have gotten tired of all the SOA talks) choose to attend "Analysis Services Soup to Nuts" by Praveen Srivatsa that turned out to be a good choice I really enjoyed the total demo approach that Praveen adopted for this session. The BI Studio really looks good, I need to install the beta pretty soon to try it out.

Second Breakout session I choose the "Dealing with data in SOA" hoping that it might give me a different view, but soon i was bored out of my wits, check out for a early lunch. It turned out that was a good move too. I had my lunch peacefully, soon there were snaking lines as the buffet counters.

After lunch I attended a session titled "Enabling applications for multi-core platform and the software tools to support the process", it turned to be a bad choice, I believe that we all should seriously consider the multi-core processor's in our near future but the the session just was a display of Intel's tools, rather and actual information/ tips on multi-core applications/ programming.

The last two sessions on Domain Specific Language's were quite informative, they first introduce the need for DSL's and gave a glimpse of how DSL can be created in Visual Studio 2005. 

I skipped the evening entertainment program and headed home to avoid the Bangalore traffic, felt great :-)

 

I am Kung Fu Master. I like to be in control of myself. I dislike crowds, especially crowds containing people trying to kill me. Even though I always win, I prefer to avoid fights if possible. What Video Game Character Are You?

Been to a Mark Knopfler concert yesterday. It was breathtaking display to Guitar Mastery img:respect ! I was lucky enough to find a first row position in the crowd for about 50,000 :-o .

One thing I noticed yesterday was how time and again Mark Knopfler goes into this zen like zone while doing his jams! That got me curious so I googled about the pshycology of getting to the zone, I found some articles like "In the Zone" ,"Flow"  also "Psychology Tips for Entering the Zone".
