Windows Mobile device name keeps changing

Glenn — Sat, 13 Feb 2010 08:24:38 +0000

After a few weeks of frustration I finally found the solution for my problem.
My Windows Mobile device name kept changing into HTCXX, where the XX were numbers. I blamed Active Sync, my bluetooth car kit, the phone itself. But eventually it was me.

It seems that when you have an underscore in your device name, Active Sync changes that into something random.

Solution: don’t use a underscore in your device name…!

Firefox, NTLM and Sharepoint

Today a ran into this site about configuring Firefox to use NTLM with Sharepoint sites. Surely it could be used for any NTLM website site. But no testing has been done on my part.

Running Windows 7 Smoothly

I am running Windows 7 @home and it runs smoothly (single proc P4 2.8 GHz, 2 GIG RAM). I had some problems installing it on my raid drive, but fixed it by downloading newer drivers. Something to be aware of. I also created an account for my 5 years old daughter and setup parental control, works like a charm.( Big daddy is watching you )

Ken Schaefer has written a great article about total application pool isolation in IIS 7.0. I didn’t yet know this, but the guys and girls at the IIS team are making a beautiful product.

My first vista sidebar gadget

Glenn — Sat, 02 Feb 2008 12:07:03 +0000

Last week a made my first windows vista sidebar gadget… =)
Because I like the garfield comic, I made a gadget who receives the comic of the day. With a flyoutscreen you can see the whole comic in the original size.

You can download the gadget here or at Microsoft.

Thanks for the early adopters who gave me an insight to how to code this.
