2/17/2011What is up with Visual Studio 2010 and the Finder? Ctrl-F brings up a modal window that is a different and bigger size every time. Most of the time it is trying to get off the right side of the screen. Maybe it has something to do with using dual monitors, but it's ridiculous the strange shapes it makes itself making it harder on me to find the stuff I want. I might start a screen capture library of this stuff it is so crazy sometimes.

5/28/2010If you are trying to clean an infected Windows machine while running infected Windows, you are doing it wrong. BartPE or any of the bootable Live CDs are your friend. In particular, UBCD4Win works wonders and has saved me hours of frustration in the past. And I deal with at least 2 infected comupters a month of all different types of malware/virus/trojan/rootkit problems. So far have not needed to start over from scratch once. Once you learn the newest tricks the malware authors are using, it is pretty easy to clean the machines.
10/3/2009Wow, I got a new Toshiba laptop today with Vista. I couldnt' install any downloads. After searching for about an hour, somebody said that IE was corrupting the downloads and they downloaded it from another computer and that worked. Sure enough, that was it!
9/3/2009VS2008 was driving me crazy because it would not allow me to edit the .vb modules in a web project. I found that we need to enable edit and continue at two different place:
- at tools/options/debugging/edit and continue (enabled for a new project by default)
- at application properties/web/use visual studio web development server/enable edit and continue (this is NOT enabled by default why?!)
This is overcomplicated and confusing.

3/13/2009Our iMac keeps dropping the secure network connection and switching to other unsecured networks in our neighborhood. I found this post and hopefully it will fix it.
In the Network preferences pane, go to the Airport settings. Change it from Connect Automatically, to Preferred Networks and delete all servers in the list. Switch back to Automatic and apply. You will have to join your network one more time, but it should stick.
