Music

Don McLain’s American Pie came on random play. Time for something more upbeat. So I now have the Madona version playing. Much nicer. And much shorter.

So many times with Random Play I just hit NEXT since I am not in the mood to listen to a particular track. Sometimes I am prepared to just listen to what comes on Random Play. Other times I just press next track after track. Just depends on how distracted I become I guess with real work.

Tax Time

I knew Tax Time was too easy. I have a few documents that my accountant wants to see that I need to find. ARGH. I have found some of them. Others are harder to find.

Wireless Mesh Routing

There has been some talk for a little while on mesh networks. In fact this has been an interest of mine since my University days. More importantly I have written some interesting papers and articles on the subject too, and they have been well received. One even elicited a job offer in San Jose.

Anyway there is an article on LinuxDevices about a company commercializing some of the mesh technologies. Or at least what they call mesh technologies. What this company has done is built a repeater to minimise interference so that you can extend your wireless network without worying about network cabling, whilst maximizing bandwidth.

Programming Issue

I found the programming issue I was having. All I needed to do was to use .ShowDialog instead of .Show on a form. This may mean very little to most but it means something to me, and I am sure that everyone else can ignore this comment.

There is also an interesting FAQ on www.syncfusion.com
