MSDN strikes Google as Top Referrer
Hey, since the publication of the article Revamping the RSS Bandit Application I posted here, Microsoft MSDN is my Top referrer, not Google... :)

Nice notepad replacement, done.
Found this via [Don Park's Daily Habit], and checked: it also works for Windows 2000 -

How to replace Notepad.exe on Windows XP/2000

Windows XP/2000 has file protection so Notepad.exe will get restored if you just replace the file with renamed Sc1.exe. Follow these steps:

  1. Download Sc1.exe from SourceForge or Notepad2 and rename it to Notepad.exe
  2. Save a copy of the original Notepad.exe somewhere.
  3. Replace Notepad.exe in following three locations (order is significant):
     
    • %WINDIR%\ServicePackFiles\i386 (if any SP is installed)
    • %WINDIR%\System32\DllCache
    • %WINDIR%\System32
    • %WINDIR%

      *%WINDIR% is your Windows folder (i.e. C:\Windows)
       
  4. Press Cancel when a warning dialog appears.

That's it. Enjoy.

Update: have a look at simonguest's post how to get that work on Vista too.

Missing: beer from germany
Tomatoes and oregano make it Italian; wine and tarragon make it French. Sour cream makes it Russian; lemon and cinnamon make it Greek. Soy sauce makes it Chinese; garlic makes it good." [Motivational Quotes of the Day]
... and after that meal having a beer from Germany make you happy... :-)

For what is app.config meant?
[dive into mark]
Thanks to our app.config usage in RSS Bandit each user can correct the base link without a redist of the whole package: simply open it with Notepad and change the value for the key validationUrlBase ...

Das gute alte Frühstyxradio
Ja, bin heut aus einer sentimentalen Laune heraus mal wieder beim www.fruehstyxradio.de vorbeigesurft. Alte Erinnerungen wurden wach (hallo Melle!) an das jed-sonntägliche Hörvergnügen auf Radio FFN (analog im Großraum Hannover empfangbar, ja, auch in Magdeburg :). Ein paar unveröffentlichte (nicht auf CD/MC) Onkel Hotte Märchen sind bei Marcel Lohmann zu finden, Adam und Eva machten meinen Tag. Leider ist das Ganze hier unten in Bayern nicht so bekannt (und nicht hörbar :( , außer von CD/MC), außerdem spricht Onkel Hotte nicht bayrisch ;-) Aber einen kleinen Vorteil als Zugezogener muß/darf man ja auch mal haben...

blogs vs MSDN
"Thank God for Chris Brumme's blog. Too bad most people who develop for Microsoft platforms get their information from MSDN and the docs not random blogs." [Dare Obasanjo Obasanjo aka Carnage4Life]
Right, such important parts should be published on MSDN. But to get more background informations is also one of the reasons I read so much MS blogs...

Aus eins mach drei
Zuerst war der eine: Video-Recorder. Schon einmal repariert (war fast teurer als ein neuer), jetzt wieder hinüber. Dann kam der zweite: Bille ersteigerte einen für 5€ bei e-Bay. Erstes Problem: Bauhöhe passt nicht, zweites Problem: er spielt ebenfalls keine Videos ab (Drama für unsere Kids: man denke nur an die Maulwurf-Videos, Disney Filme etc. pp. Mehrere Dutzend davon wollen noch nicht sofort in die Tonne...) Aprop. gibts den Maulwurf auch auf CD? Gestern nun haben wir doch noch einen Neuen gekauft, mit passender Bauhöhe und er funktioniert! Hab auch gleich noch die Rack-Schrankwand-Umbaumassnahmen gestartet. Nur beenden kann ich's erst heut: mir fehlt noch ein Audio Kabel. Die anderen schlummern nun im Keller (jemand interessiert und im Grossraum Lindau wohnhaft? Verschenke diese an Selbstabholer) Die Lebensdauer/Mechanik eines CD Players scheint etwas länger zu sein als die der Video-Recorder: mein Kenwood Spieler dient nun schon seit 1992, der erste und bereits einmal reparierte Video-Rec. kam vor ca. 6 Jahren... Ob man das allerdings 1:1 auf DVD Spieler übertragen kann...? Wir werden sehen.

Update: RSS Bandit
Yes, I'm late: the new release 1.1.0.29 is out! Seems, it does only need the half of memory compared to build 16 and is faster in requesting feed updates. That are good news. "Currently RSSBandit always uses IE to read the actual news pages (when hitting the 'Read on...' link)" [bug report on Bandit GDN by jelovirt]. Yes, all links on the third pane work like a to the link! The idea behind this behavior was to provide the reader with a better window size to read the requested page, not that small detail window below the listview of items. "I'd also like to see a preference option to control whether the news pages should be opened inside RSSBandit (using IE), or whether the default browser should be used and the pages are opened into their own windows." Other people like that too. I would suggest to restrict this behavior to only these links that requires a new window (remember target="_blank" attribute). The default would be to open them in a new Tab (my favourite), that does not waste up the desktop with too much browser windows. Think it is enough to get all the ads windows ;-)

Learning from the old new thing
Found this these days:

Windows XP ships with a number of icon overlays.

  • A small arrow. Everybody knows this one: It's the shortcut overlay.
  • A hand, palm up. This is the "sharing" overlay. A folder with this overlay is the root of a file share.
  • A downward-pointing blue arrow. This is the "to be written to CD" overlay.
  • A pair of blue swirling arrows. This sometimes baffles people. This means that the item is available offline. (You have to enable offline folders to get this.)
  • A black clock. This really baffles people. This means that the file has been archived to tape and will take a very long time to access.

    [The Old New Thing]
Love to read Raymond Chen and learn about all the hidden, unknown and backgrounds on Windows. My favourites: What is in the "Windows 95 Special Edition" box? and Windows brings out the Rorschach test in everyone.

Festivitäten
Am Montag sind wir aus Velpke zurückgekehrt: mein Papa hat am 17. seinen 60. Geburtstag gefeiert. Und: es war wirklich eine schöne Feier! Den Kids hat es Spass gemacht, obwohl sie die beiden einzigen mit weniger als 10 Jahren auf dem Buckel waren. Uns hat es Spass gemacht, alte Bekannte wiederzutreffen und Erinnerungen aufzufrischen. Der Höhepunkt des Abends: eine professionelle Bauchtänzerin! Gestern saßen wir, wie jedes Jahr einmal, mit unseren Nachbarn beim Barbecue, während heuer noch ein Kollege von mir kommt (Cesar mit Family). Natürlich zum Barbecue! Hab im Internet ein wirklich sehenswertes Fotoblog gefunden: Sensiti. Unglaubliche Bilder! Wollte fast sofort selber losziehen, aber mir fehlt noch ein wichtiges Teil: die DigiCam. Meine Canon EOS100 ist so schlecht auch nicht, hab sogar ein gutes Tele dafür, aber bis die Bilder immer so entwickelt ist, das dauert...

Want a digi cam. Now!
Sensitive Light is an absolutely stunning photoblog. Like the very best amateur photography always does, it makes you want to grab a camera and rush out to capture all the miraculous wonder of the world, even though you're sure you can't come anywhere near his brilliant work.

Randomize algorithm
Found via Daypop Top 40: the Gender Genie. After applying some tests with blogs I read it seems to be use the Random() function. What a joke :-D
