			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>For one of my .NET Compact Framwork applications I needed some self-auto-update functionality, simliar to what <a href="http://sparkle.andymatuschak.org/" target="_blank">Sparkle</a> does on OSX. Unfortunatly, I couldn&#8217;t find any libraries that would help me achieve this goal. The only thing I could find was an <a href="http://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/aa446487.aspx" target="_blank">outdated article</a> in the MSDN library. But that, like many Microsoft examples, presupposed an IIS with ASP.NET on the server side, which I neither had, nor wanted to use.</p>
<p>So I took the weekend and coded a little library, which I call &#8220;<a href="http://github.com/seboslaw/wmautoupdate" target="_blank">WmAutoUpdate</a>&#8221; (freely available on <a href="http://github.com/seboslaw/wmautoupdate" target="_blank">Github</a>). It can easily be integrated with your .NET Compact Framework app and works with any webserver that is able to serve files on the server side.</p>
<p>Go on over to Github, get the source and check the &#8220;example&#8221; folder:</p>
<p>Usage<br />
============<br />
Consider the example folder for a simple example of how to use the framework. The application simply consists of a form, which displays the string &#8220;old Version&#8221;.</p>
<pre>  static void Main()</pre>
<pre>    {</pre>
<pre>      Updater updater = new Updater("<a href="http://www.myupdateurl.com/update.xml">http://www.myupdateurl.com/update.xml</a>");</pre>
<pre>      updater.CheckForNewVersion();</pre>
<pre>      Application.Run(new Form1());</pre>
<pre>    }</pre>
<p>Upon start, the WmAutoUpdate framework kicks in and downloads the XML file &#8220;update.xml&#8221; from the update server. The update.xml file looks as follows:</p>
<pre>  &lt;?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?&gt;</pre>
<pre>  &lt;updates&gt;</pre>
<pre>    &lt;download name="WmAutoUpdateExample"&gt;</pre>
<pre>      &lt;version maj="3" min="0" bld="0000"/&gt;</pre>
<pre>      &lt;message&gt;Important Update. My very important release/update note. This will be displayed within the Update</pre>
<pre>      Form&lt;/message&gt;</pre>
<pre>      &lt;link&gt;<a href="http://www.myupdateurl.com/update.zip">http://www.myupdateurl.com/update.zip</a>&lt;/link&gt;</pre>
<pre>    &lt;/download&gt;</pre>
<pre>  &lt;/updates&gt;</pre>
<p>Pretty self-explanatory. Afterwards, the user can choose whether to update now, or skip the update for now. If the former is chosen, the file described in the &#8220;link&#8221; tag is downloaded and unpacked into a temporary folder (Unpacking is facilitated through the <a href="http://www.codeplex.com/DotNetZip">http://www.codeplex.com/DotNetZip</a> lib). Next, these files are moved from the temporary folder into the application folder, replacing the outdated files (the outdated files are copied into a backup folder, beforehand). If everything goes well, WmAutoUpdate creates a file called &#8220;success&#8221; within the backup folder. Lastly, the application is restarted (right now this is implemented via a call to CeRunAppAtTime; Unfortunately, the minimum time-frame this function accepts is 11 seconds. Thus, it will take 11 secs for your app to restart). Upon restart WmAutoUpdate checks for the &#8220;success&#8221; file within the backup folder. If found, the entire backup folder is deleted. If not, all files within the backup folder are copied back into the application folder (rollback).</p>
<p>Both update.zip (which simply contains the same application, but with a form saying &#8220;new Version&#8221; and the Assembly Version set to 3.0.0) and update.xml can be found in the &#8220;Server Files&#8221; directory within the example folder. Both files need to be put into the according server web directory.</p>

The following code solves theses issues (IBitmapImage and ImageUtils are OpenNETCF classes):</p>

<p style="text-align: justify;">No more harddisk clatter noise or blowing CPU fans disturbing your sleep &#8230;plus you&#8217;re reducing your your energy bill and your carbon footprint <img src='http://www.sebastianvogelsang.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p style="text-align: justify;">Unlike other shutdown solutions, NightTunes does not depend on user-set timers to determine when to shutdown your PC. That way it is guaranteed that your computer won&#8217;t bail out on you right in the middle of your goodnight tale, only because you forgot to set the timer right.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I don&#8217;t know if this goes for all the GeForce 8 and 9 series graphics cards, but getting the S-Video tv-out of my brand new Gainward 9800GT Golden Sample to run seems to be a real hassle. In the following, I wanna how I got it to work:</p>
<h3>Hardware setup:</h3>
<p>Starting from the video card&#8217;s s-video outlet, I use a standard s-video/cinch adapter as depicted below. Please notice that this <strong>is not</strong> the adapter that came with the card, but instead one that only has four jacks on the s-video side.</p>
<p><img src="http://www.hama.de/bilder/00042/abb/00042737abb.jpg" alt="" width="152" height="152" /><img src="http://i31.twenga.com/3/tp/02/91/9105376487036820291.png" alt="" width="100" height="100" /></p>
<p>On the TV side I use a cinch/Scart adapter like the one below:</p>
<p><img src="http://www.alternate.de/pix/prodpic/200x200/j/jzzv07.jpg" alt="" width="136" height="136" /></p>
<h3>Software Setup:</h3>
<p>This is where it gets icky <img src='http://www.sebastianvogelsang.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  To get it running, you first need to enable the &#8220;old&#8221; Nvidia control center. This can be done, by means of the registry entries you can download <a href="http://drop.io/z66sgyb" target="_blank">here</a>. Upon unzipping the file, double-click on &#8220;enableoldNV_CP.reg&#8221; and confirm. Then do a right-click on your desktop and click on &#8220;NVIDA Display&#8221; -&gt; TV. In the opening window, click on the left button (<span style="font-size: x-small;">only have it in German here, but I guess in English it says something like &#8220;Properties&#8221;</span>).</p>
<p>Then you should see your monitor and your TV side-by-side. Right-click on the TV, select &#8220;Choose TV-format&#8221; -&gt; bottom entry (<span style="font-size: x-small;">again&#8230;.only have it in German here:-) but should be something like &#8220;more/enhanced/advanced&#8221;</span>). In the new window you may choose the right signal format in the top chooser, although this will make no difference at this point. The important selection here is &#8220;S-Video-Output&#8221; in the bottom chooser. Don&#8217;t leave it set to &#8220;automatic&#8221;. Click OK on this and all other dialogs from before to close them. Now you should have an image on your TV, which most likely is black and white. To get your colors, do the following.</p>
<p>Double-click on the second file (disableoldNV_CP.reg) from the zip-archive to deactivate the old and re-activate the new NVIDIA control panel. Next, right-click on the desktop and click on &#8220;NVIDA Control Panel&#8221;. In the left menu choose &#8220;Run television setup wizard&#8221; from the &#8220;Video &amp; Television&#8221; menu section. Click &#8220;Next&#8221; and select &#8220;S-Video&#8221; in the next (&#8220;Connector Type&#8221;) dialog. Click on &#8220;Next&#8221; to get to the &#8220;Television Signal Format&#8221; dialog. There you want to choose &#8220;PAL-B&#8221;. Click &#8220;Next&#8221; until you&#8217;re done with the dialog.</p>
<p>That should be it! Have fun with your TV!</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Ich muss sagen, dass ich seit gestern insgeheim auf diesen Moment gewartet habe. Die Welt fragt sich, was Tim K. aus Winnenden zu seinem Amoklauf getrieben hat. Dabei scheint sich die Antwort auf diese Frage in vielen (alten wirren) Köpfen längst gefestigt zu haben. Wie in einem <a href="http://www.spiegel.de/video/video-55680.html" target="_blank">Video in Spiegel Onlines Mediathek</a> zu sehen ist, gab heute ein Sprecher der Polizei folgendes Statement ab: &#8220;Wir haben während diesen Abends seine Computer noch sichergestellt und auch analysiert, grob analysiert, die Feinanalyse läuft aktuell, und auch daraufhin sich die typischen Spiele, die auch in das Raster eines Amokläufers passen, wie Counterstrike (&#8230;gefunden?)&#8221;.</p>
<p>Damit dürfte sich die Sache für viele auch schon erledigt haben.  Kein Gedanke wird an das erzieherische Defizit der Eltern oder die Tatsache dass K. anscheinend seit 2008 an Depressionen litt, sich deshalb zunächst stationär in psychiatrischer Behandlung befand und eine anschließende Therapie nicht aufnahm, verschwendet. Ebenso wenig interessiert das Faktum, dass sich im Elternhaus 15 (!!!) Schusswaffen befanden (an dieser Stelle frage ich mich ernsthaft, warum jemand auch nur 1 Waffe in seinem Haus verwahren muss???).<br />
Stattdessen ist eine der ersten Meldungen, welche man der Presse nach dem Amoklauf entnehmen darf,  <a href="http://www.spiegel.de/politik/deutschland/0,1518,612735,00.html" target="_blank">eine Ausprache von Union und Polizei gegen ein schärferes Waffenrecht</a>. Das oben erwähnte Extrakt aus der Pressemitteilung lässt erahnen, was dem folgen wird. Wieder einmal werden sich Unionspolitiker, wie zuletzt <a href="http://www.stern.de/politik/deutschland/:Killerspiel-Debatte-Das/578137.html" target="_blank">Niedersachsens Innenminister Uwe Schünemann</a>, für ein Verbot von sogenannten &#8220;Killerspielen&#8221; (wenn der Begriff nicht Populismus pur ist?!?) aussprechen und damit jegliche wissenschaftlichen Erkenntnisse der Wirkungsforschung in den Wind schlagen. Ich frage mich: Wie geht so etwas? Warum kommen diese Menschen damit durch, wenn selbst auf einer Partnerseite des Bundesministeriums für Familie, Senioren, Frauen und Jugend, <a href="http://www.jugendschutz.net" target="_blank">jugendschutz.net</a>, eindeutig statuiert wird:</p>
<p><cite>&#8220;Direkte Wirkungen in dem Sinne, dass ein Spieler nach einem blutrünstigen Deathmatch mit der Pumpgun auf die Straße läuft und dort wahllos alles abschlachtet, sind nicht nachweisbar.&#8221; </cite></p>
<p>und weiter</p>
<p><cite>&#8220;Der in der Öffentlichkeit beliebte direkte Schluss vom Inhalt von „Killerspielen“ auf deren Wirkungen ist aber unzulässig. Der Wirkungszusammenhang zwischen Spieler und Spielen ist so komplex, dass generelle Aussagen zur Wirkung von Gewaltdarstellungen nicht gemacht werden können.&#8221;</cite> (<a href="http://www.jugendschutz.net/gewalt/Gewaltspiele/index.html">Quelle</a>)</p>
<p>Haben diese Menschen keine Berater, die ihnen diese Fakten zuteil werden lassen, bevor sie hergehen, ihre Kausalketten auf einen einzelnen Strang reduzieren und sich damit lächerlich machen? In ähnlicher Manier könnte man ein Verbot von Tischtennis verlangen&#8230;offentsichtlich war Tim K. ein großer Anhänger des Sports.</p>
<h6><span style="font-size: medium;">Auch wenn es in diesem Beitrag weniger um den schrecklichen Amoklauf in </span><span style="font-size: medium;"><strong>Winnenden</strong></span><span style="font-size: medium;">, als vielmehr um auf die Reaktion darauf geht, möchte ich allen, die in Winnenden Angehörige, Kinder oder Freunde verloren haben, mein Beileid aussprechen.</span></h6>
<p><span style="font-size: medium;">&#8212;&#8212;EDIT&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;&#8212;</span></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today I got AIM-Fish-Bot-ed (not that that verb exists). As Nixie explains in <a href="http://nixiepixel.com/blog/index.php/aim-fish-bot-help" target="_blank">her article</a>, Fish-Bots do exactely what you may have done as a child: call two total strangers, then hold the two phones together and listen in on how they accuse each other of doing a prank call. Only Fish-Bots do it via AIM or ICQ. While the whole thing seems to upset a lot of people, I found the idea hilarious and would love to read more chat protocols of &#8220;victims&#8221; <img src='http://www.sebastianvogelsang.com/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' />  Here&#8217;s mine (the first message is from the bot (RolyPolyCoho), the following come from the person I got connected to):</p>
<p><em><strong>16:20:00 RolyPolyCoho</strong></em><br />
Greetings! I know this is hard to believe, but I&#8217;m you &#8211; from the future. I bear important news.<br />
<em><strong>16:20:13 seboslaw</strong></em><br />
holy crap! How old are you&#8230;.err&#8230;am I?<br />
<em><strong>16:21:00 RolyPolyCoho</strong></em><br />
still didn&#8217;t answer my question<br />
<em><strong>16:21:13 seboslaw</strong></em><br />
what question?<br />
<em><strong>16:21:42 RolyPolyCoh</strong>o</em><br />
the question asking who are you?<br />
<strong><em>16:22:07 seboslaw</em></strong><br />
well&#8230;&#8230;if I believe you, I am you<br />
<strong><em>16:22:49 RolyPolyCoho</em></strong><br />
whatever<br />
<strong><em>16:23:20 seboslaw</em></strong><br />
whatever my ass&#8230;.you said: Greetings! I know this is hard to believe, but I&#8217;m you &#8211; from the future. I bear important news.<br />
<strong><em>16:23:31</em></strong><br />
so what&#8217;s the important news?<br />
<strong><em>16:23:48</em></strong><br />
or do I know already? this me-you thing&#8217;s kinda confusing me<br />
<strong><em>16:25:42</em></strong><br />
haha, I guess we both got tricked&#8230;..http://nixiepixel.com/blog/index.php/aim-fish-bot-help</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>After watching &#8220;<a href="http://us.imdb.com/title/tt1125849/" target="_blank">The Wrestler</a>&#8221; (a totally awesome movie by the way) the other day I went online to research, whether the story was biographically or not.

The following names rang some bells and brought back some childhood memories for me:</p>
