Well we got in last night around 3am from our week-long wedding in the Dominican Republic.  It was an amazing week with everyone, and hopefully everyone had as much fun as we did.

 

I'll be posting all the links to all the photo's here so keep checking back as people send me more of their pictures.

If anyone would like originals of these pictures to be printed, just let me know.

Well I should be packing right now, I'm leaving for my wedding tomorrow... but instead I wanted to add a quick feature that hornetfig mentioned in the WHS Developers Forum.  So instead of getting ready and packed I sat down and did some coding.  

So here is version 1.1

Update - Version 1.2

If there are issues with that build you can stil get 1.0 here.

Thanks to We Got Served for their post on my 'succinctly named' add-in. :)

I've been playing around with some Windows Home Server development and I got sick of having the console open and having a RDC connection open to check the Event Log or mess with IIS settings.  Thus the program launcher was born. 

 

You can download it here

I only have one Home Server so testing is a little difficult so let me know if you run into any issues.

 

UPDATE:  Posted a new version, to fix some icon problems.

Just installed the beta 2 release of Home Server and I moved all my web junk up to it and off my desktop.  Seems to be working perfectly so far...

I went down to the Ice House Microsoft built for their Vista launch event in Toronto today to check things out.  First of all the ice house was pretty impressive with lots of details, but damn cold.  They had some simple yet impressive demos going on all over the 'house' with even more MVPs and other 'experts' wandering around answering questions for the masses.  The one thing that almost all the machines had was DreamScene, this is a new (in beta) Ultra Extra that lets you set a movie as your desktop wallpaper.  Now you could set anything if you wanted, but it ships with a couple of small subtle looping videos.  The one I was looking at was a shot of a rainforest (I think) and a waterfall.  Looked amazing.  Going to look into getting a copy of the beta.  I've been running Vista Ultimate since mid-December and finally got a legit license for it now.  The initial 'wow factor' has worn off, and I still love it.  It's fast, it's sleek, and they fixed a lot of little things that really pissed me off in XP.  I think it is a big step forward for my tech support customer (ie, my family). It will be a learning curve in certain spots, but it should keep their machines nice and clean (hopefully).

 

The event seemed like a success to me just wandering around, I heard lots of people talking about all the cool things, like DreamScene and Media Centre slideshows.  Not sure how many of those 'oh I want that' will translate into a bought copy of Vista but hopefully a few of them at least. <Rant> I did of course hear 'dude, just download it off bittorrent you do know the url for bittorrent right?', so many things wrong with this statement, BitTorrent is a protocol, a site that hosts BitTorrent files is just that, a site that hosts BitTorrent files, not BitTorrent itself.  </Rant>

 

Anyways, I snapped a couple of pics with my new phone.  Turns out I should have looked into the Camera capabilities before I left.  I had the thing set on the low quality setting, so I apologize for the lower quality pics, next ones will be better I promise.
