hexadecimal

How do you like the new look on hexadecimal? I use dasBlog as blog engine, simply because it’s .NET based and I can hack and slash the code a bit. And today was that day, when I did exactly that! I wanted to change the theme, and I found this here theme that I was [...]

Today the Swedish parliament voted for, and passed the law known as IPRED (Intellectual Property Rights Enforcement Directive), which grants private organizations police authority. Basically, anyone who owns a copyright, me included, since this page is copyrighted, can demand and receive the personal account details behind an IP address if they suspect the person behind [...]

If you receive “General Error” when trying to perform updates in AVG antivirus after installing it on Windows Vista or Windows 7, it’s most likely due to not having installed it as Administrator. I installed the Free edition of AVG antivirus on my Windows 7 computer, and received some strange behavior from the updater. The [...]

I’ve been playing around with the CTP of Visual Studio 2010, and I really like the new dynamic keyword and the IDynamicObject interface. I recently read nikhilk’s blog, and came across two articles titled More Fun with C# 4.0 – Dynamic REST Service Calls, and RESTful Live Search Service. I would highly recommend these two [...]

I thought about using the class ProtectedMemory in the System.Security.Cryptography namespace, but I wasn’t sure just how secure it was. So I decided to have a try at it. First thing I did, was create a little sample program [...]

Today I got the unusual question from a coworker on how to get the amount of available memory. Normally, people tend to want to know how much memory their application is using, not how much more they can use! Anywho, although there’s more than one solution, the best way in my not so humble opinion, [...]

Contrary to many people, I don’t believe that most people download pirate copies primarily because it’s free. I believe they do it because it’s fast and convenient. I’m sure some of course do, but I think that most don’t. The few legal alternatives that are out there, are IMHO not all that great, and the [...]

I have recently installed the beta of Windows 7, and so far I can only say that it is everything that Vista should have been. It seems Microsoft really has listened to their customers, and changed the things that bothered the Vista users the most. Although Windows 7 uses the same kernel as Vista, and [...]
