Ray Jezek's Blog"defying logic, one <span>method</span> service at a time"™http://blogs.geekdojo.net/jez/atom.aspxCommunity Server2004-09-30T10:32:00ZMy new HTC Wizardhttp://blogs.geekdojo.net/jez/archive/2006/03/29/10409.aspx2006-03-29T18:55:00Z2006-03-29T18:55:00Z<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>So i got my new HTC wizard (flavored as T-Mobile MDA) and I must say it's a really nice device. Of course anything after using a blackbarely for a few years will seem better. A few things that I do not like;</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>* setting up synchronization to Exchange was WAY harder than it should have been... i had to install certificates and everything on the device to get this crazy thing to work<BR>* once I got sycnchronization working I noticed a BUG where when new email comes into a sub-folder off the inbox no message flag is raised! Since I have a very well structred inbox this means that my device NEVER says i have new email... even though in the folders I can see about 50 new unread messages. What's up with that?! So of course I can't get the crazy thing to vibrate when I get new email either because as far as the device is concerned... I dont have new email. WOW - I hope that bug gets fixed because it really sucks (outlook has the exact same bug btw.. only raises the new message flag for the inbox only...not sub-folders!!).</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>Overall though I really like the device but there are something I will have to get used to or find a fix for. Gotta love new toys!</FONT></P><img src="http://blogs.geekdojo.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10409" width="1" height="1">jezhttp://blogs.geekdojo.net/members/jez.aspxRSS Reader that support offline imageshttp://blogs.geekdojo.net/jez/archive/2006/03/16/10128.aspx2006-03-16T20:32:00Z2006-03-16T20:32:00Z<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>I need a new RSS reader. The one I have now (<A href="http://www.attensa.com/">Attensa</A>) is great but I do almost 100% of my blog reading on the train with no connection...so when I open up a feed that has pictures (Engadget for instance) all I see are broken images. I know a lot of these readers support attachments for offline viewing but maybe there is one that exists what will also download images and re-create the src attribute on the image tag for me?? Now wouldn't that be great.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>I'll have to dig around google a bit and see if anything is out there.</FONT> </P><img src="http://blogs.geekdojo.net/aggbug.aspx?PostID=10128" width="1" height="1">jezhttp://blogs.geekdojo.net/members/jez.aspxLooking for the right exception?http://blogs.geekdojo.net/jez/archive/2005/12/16/9547.aspx2005-12-16T18:14:00Z2005-12-16T18:14:00Z<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>This is mostly for my own reference; I am usually looking for the right exception to throw so here is a single list with everything deriving from System.Exception nicely nested and linked:</FONT></P>

I think it's summed up well when Bertrand says, "we want simple events on simple controls".

<P><FONT face=Tahoma><FONT size=2>“<STRONG>String</STRONG> and <B>Array</B> properties should never return a null reference. Null can be difficult to understand in this context. The general rule is that null, empty string (""), and empty (0 item) arrays should be treated the same way. Return an empty array instead of a null reference.” -- from <A href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpgenref/html/cpconarrayusageguidelines.asp">http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/default.asp?url=/library/en-us/cpgenref/html/cpconarrayusageguidelines.asp</A></FONT></FONT></P>

He said that you have to use the NON-msi installer. So per his advice I tried to install install the 4.0.5(A) NON-msi install package... and walla! It worked like a charm! VPN client works perfectly. I'm not sure what the difference is between the two installers but the regular one worked just fine. The other crazy thing is, the VPN client works just fine too.

I absolutely hate the movie feeding frenzy that takes place at video stores. Endless walls of replica boxes that takes forever to sift through; people rummaging through return bins in hope that the movie they want is in there; not finding what you came to store in the first place to rent. Then you wait in a long line only to get to the counter to find out you have yet another late fee on your account. The moment I heard about Netflix I signed up and haven't been to a blockbuster since! The efficiency of having a “rental queue” of movies just waiting to be sent to your doorstep is hard to beat. But with any Internet startup you wonder how viable their business model is and if they are able to be successful.</FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>Well I just noticed today (who knows how long they have offered this) that blockbuster now offers an almost identical service as netflix! To me this pretty much validates their business model and proves that Blockbuster is feeling some of the effects of a superior rental company/methodology. The interesting thing about the blockbuster deal is that they offer you 2 free in-store rentals per month with your subscription. I guess they are trying to balance the fact that this new model will hurt their stores even more (I wonder if local blockbusters are franchised? - ouch). </FONT></P>
<P><FONT face=Tahoma size=2>I will most likely stick with netflix because they were the pioneers here and I want to continue to keep my money far away from blockbuster.</FONT></P>
