n97 hard reset + format

Seeing that 4.10 doesn't play (starts and it exists) i decided to bite the bullet and do a hard reset. It also gets me more system space after v20 firmware. Might as well.

As daring and impatient a person i am, i couldn't wait. I did the research and the actual reset on the side of the badminton court while i was waiting for my turn. It went well.. although since i didn't backup much, i lost all the notes, phone #, and i had to reinstall quite a few stuff.

But the good thing is after i installed 4.15 (directly. don't do 4.0 and then 4.15), everything plays fine.

st sauveur

Man.. sore arms... mainly just sore arms. This time i think i got more skiing than i could handle. > 10 runs on saturday and sunday. Compare to last time in Tremblant, this time i really got my heart content with this "healthy" amount of skiing.

I spent a little bit of time with jin on Saturday, just to keep her company while she struggled a bit on the baby hill. She's not bad... at first, it was almost as if she have never skiied before. She skiied fine in tremblant the first time with the instructor, with a few falls here and there, but she wasn't too scared. I think she just need some time alone by herself to figure this ski thing out without much help from me. She would be less dependent on other people. With Roger there, i went on by myself after a few runs on the baby hill. Freezing it was, but it was not enough to dampen my keeness on skiing.

I mean, this is all by myself. Don't have jin to worry about, just ski and a lot of kids, on the beginners hill. I'm a bit on the advance side of beginners, but too chicken to try the blue hill. So sometimes it was more of avoiding hitting the small innocent children. Because here's the problem - i ski better than most of them, but just don't have the fine control on speed and direction. I mean, i can stop, and maneuvre my way down the hill, but just not good enough to avoid sudden fall of the people in front of me. So a lot of my scare come from that.

To go into record, i did try one of the blue hill named "Jays". It is obviously tougher than green. Drops are steeper, and longer, so if i couldn't control myself in highspeed, i'm still not good enough yet. And that's what happened. I would ski down, try to control the speed, but on sharp drop, it's just impossible to ski down at a good manageable speed. So had 3 falls before reaching the bottom, and decided... green i belong.

DNN.... more like second attempt

Well, dnn have once again entered my brain via another project's side swing. Just the installation is already baffling enough. The number of components involved. Throwing in the rare dev environment (dnn 4.3.1 on vista/ii7) that nobody have, so good luck finding help. Although there are steps on how to get it working on iis7, rarely would step #7 on my machine be the same as the one they mentioned on the web even if you followed step #1-6 by each letter.

Anyway, a few pointers so i won't forget next time:
1. iis7 installation requires iis6 compatibility.
2. include asp.net (duh)
3. configure iis so it allows window authentication
4. create new website with classic .net pool. Point the source to the extracted dir

set up db:
- install sql express
- get the login created (dnnuser/dnnuser)
- create db called dnn
- add login to that db, make sure permission is set (everything)
- install sql management console.
- test the login before going to dnn.
Common problem:
a) can't log in (a trusted authentication): db is not set up to be mixed mode(both windows AND sql)

next is on dnn
4. extract, and rename release.config to web.config
5. edit two places in web.config to match the db credential used in the sql express.

6. Run the install by going to localhost:8080
Common problem here:
a) db connection doesn't work - check the username, password AND db name match.

7. Portal is up.
CP:
a) none of the local links works (404): friendly url is used. Location in db to set to "N" is HostSetting/UseFriendlyUrls.
b) admin/host login doesn't work: create a log in. Go to db, set it to superuser. Log in that. Go to users - select admin, reset password. Then set the password to whatever.

Visual Studio 2005 (in this order):
1. install.. duh
2. install sp1.
3. install vista beta.
4. open solution.
5. should compile.
CP:
if debug still doesn't work, windows authentication is not set. Set it in iis.

PS3 for the holiday !!

Believe it or not. Well, i won't believe it myself and it happened just before xmas day - PS3 came to my possession in an extremely surprising circumstance (Nothing short of an extreme luck will make this a reality) I was lining up to return the sharp 52" aquos and i saw this chinese guy, carrying a PS3 doing the same. And then this rush of adrenaline came up, along with a urge of impulse to ask him (out? no!) if he's returning it. And guess what. HE IS! and even more surprising is, it is a 60G! My my.. so i tried wave my wife over and see if it's a approved purchase. Then this chinese guy said hello to her and all of a sudden, it strikes me - what a small world.

Anyway long story short, i brought home a PS3 that night. Set up was, yet another surprise. Shockingly simple. This wifi equipped ps3 makes downloading updates, demos, games like a breeze. In like 5 mins, no wires attached, i got it on my home lan. Next minute, i got it to download the latest update. Installed, and then off i went, to the playstation stores. Demos after demos. Downloads after downloads.

Other bells and whistles it came with, include card reader, chrome trim.

I don't care why so many people returning it and bashing it as a waste of money. This is my first console and i'm loving it.

If only the HD loader will come sooner :)

Flash Scrollpain.

This could be MM's greatest invention or the worst. Whichever it is, it is a pain to use, as i've heard from many of my peers.

There are a couple of key points you have to do before scrollpane will do what's supposed to do:

1. Create an empty movie clip, create linkage of course, say "Empty"
2. If loading a big image inside, you have to call invalidate() at the END of the loading. (say onLoadInit())
3. Point the contenpath of the pane to Empty: s.contentPath = "Empty";
3. to load the image (or anything) in, you have to create an empty movieclip (container) by s.content.createMovieClip("cont", 1);

NOTE: it have to be s.content. Otherwise it'll ignore you.

4. NOW, it's time to load in your stuff.

Well... i've invested many hours into it before, now once again, when i come back to it, it's still not a smooth process.... *sigh*... MM got some great minds in flash.
