The boys (some how the girls weren't up for the hairy upper lip competition?) are up for the Movember challenge and are taking the bull by the horns.

It's all about donations to Prostrate Cancer Foundation and hair - lots of both!!

So I'd love you guys to sponsor (tax deductible) us - Team 'Lost My Mow-o', all you need to do is:
- jump to this location Sponsorship and enter my rego number: 92055
(or you can search using my name - Mick Badran)

Be great to have you aboard the Movember machine!

First few days should be ok, once I start getting the itch it's going to be alot harder!

Thanks for your support!

Well I recently went down the task of upgrading my notebook to x64 - Win2008 RC0.
So far so good - a little hunting for the vital drivers (bluetooth) and it's rocking.

I then went to continue on with some BizTalk RFID work and boom!!! I forgot that I needed to update these drivers also smile_cry.

Fortunately after some researching (knew I'd put that Computer Engineering degree to good use) - I found the drivers I needed, although they don't say "DLP RFID Drivers...."

Essentially they are some sort of USB port converter - works fine with the DLP_RFID demo program.....cool.......

When you install the Drivers - from Device Manager, select 'Update Driver....' and explicitly point to the root of the DLP x64 driver's folder. From here you will be presented with 4 driver options.

Select 'USB Serial Converter' .....you're away!

I've done all the hard work for you - grab them here

Hi guys, if you've ever embarked down the 'hey I want to monitor my bts system through Operations Center 2007', you'll realise that there is a fair conversion process to take the original BTS2006 MOM Pack from *.AKM format to the newer *.XML format.

Essentially you do:

1) Install a conversion tool on MOM 2005 SP1 machine

2) run the conversion process

3) take the exported file to your Operations Manager 2007

4) Import the *.XML to Ops Mgr 2007 to generate the classes.


Or........ you could download the ready made version - http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=389FCB89-F4CF-46D7-BC6E-57830D234F91&displaylang=en

Wow what a winner!!!!

Problem solved....... cross that one off the list smile_regular

The instances table in the msgbox has a newly added column (in R2 only) to that shows the shape on where the Orch is blocked on.

So if there's a stack of Dehydrated Orchs in your system, you know what they are waiting on rather than use Orch Debugger.

Thanks Lee, you'll be missed!

You've been working away playing with the great DLP devices, reading tags and making things go 'beep'.

BizTalk RFID RTM-ed not too long ago (Sept 14th was public release) and with that, your DLP provider needs to be updated - last time, I promise.

To save you the pain, Scotty and I have been through this for you and provided the Device Provider Assemblies.zip (56.44 KB) (updated) for your pleasure (or is that leisure?)

Scotty is a man of many words and he explains the 'Way of the Peaceful warriors' path that must be walked to achieve the goal.

Enjoy guys - I'll be letting you in on some big announcements soon.....(I'm not pregnant! smile_regular)

Mick.

Which one are you??

 

This is cool-have some one watch this with you-you may see her spin one way and the other person may see her spin the other way......or....look away and look back and she may change direction....



Scroll down to make heads or tails out of this......

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

 

If clockwise, then you use more of the right side of your brain.

If anti-clockwise, then you use more of the left side of your brain.

 

It is possible to focus and change the direction of the dancer; see if you can do it.
