I've seen a ton of articles talking about how great Debug.Assert is. I hate it.

.NET Framework 2.0 Beta 2 Install Note

2005-05-05T19:20:00Z

Reposted from http://www.sharplogic.com/blogs/ed/PermaLink,guid,61c4573c-251a-4098-a8c1-913cef72193b.aspx:

If you're installing the .NET Framework 2.0 Beta 2 on an NT-based machine (NT, Win2K, XP, Windows Server 2003) then you'll need to have MSI 3.0 installed.

If you're installing the .NET Framework 2.0 Beta 2 on an 9x-based machine (98, 98SE, ME) then you'll need to have MSI 2.0 installed. This is necessary since MSI 3.0 only supports NT-based platforms.

You can figure out which one is installed by looking at the major number from [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\CLSID\{000C101D-0000-0000-C000-000000000046}\DllVersion].

New Family Guy Episodes May 1!

2005-01-29T09:46:00Z

I'm really impressed with the way Fox is being so transparent about the upcoming season of Family Guy. If you go to their website at http://fox.com/familyguy/ (it's basically a blog), you can even watch clips from the script readings (a la Channel 9). And yes, they have an RSS feed :-)

An Interesting Opinion

I don't agree, but maybe I'm missing something--thoughts?

Media Center Advice Requested

2005-01-07T07:48:00Z

I just got a Media Center and it's pretty cool. Unfortunately, I can't seem to figure out how to watch TV (live or recorded) from my laptop over the network. Obviously I can share the folder on the MCE and navigate to it over the network, but that only works for recorded shows (and is network intensive). Does anyone know of an extender or workaround I can use so I can watch TV via the laptop? Ideally it would be something that can trim down the size of network transfer--even at lowest quality it's still 1GB/hr.

Also, I'd like to cut down the screen size of the recorded video. I only plan on watching the TV on my laptop, so I can get away with very low resolution, which will save a lot of space. If anyone has done this, please let me know.

RTSP Component

2004-12-22T21:14:00Z

Can anyone recommend an RTSP component? I was going to implement the spec, but if there's something that just works it'll be a lot cheaper. I specifically need to be able to download a stream, so I don't care about server-side stuff. If there's a source version available, that's cool too. This is for testing purposes, so it doesn't need to be perfect.
