No picture at the moment, I was just happy to get it hooked up quickly before my son came home… it seems I can never hook up electronics correctly when he is ‘helping’ me 🙂 So, yep… one of those sites worked for me… it took a while, but my wife is very happy with the monitor. It is a 19″ LCD from Sony (the SDM-S93 I believe) and it looks nice replacing her 15″ CRT.
Good site if you are into the same things as me… digital media, games, gadgetry…

Portable Media Centers… I can feel the gadget lust growing…
Apr 18, 2005 1 min.
Everytime Brian tells me something that involves his portable media center, I think about getting one. He has the Samsung model, which I really like the look/feel of and it seems to work well (although the length of transcoding is a reoccuring complaint), but my only real plan for getting one was to sign up with pvps4free.com (only 3 away from completion!), which has the Creative portable media center, but not the Samsung one.

I started writing this entry about “Giving advice on technology to friends and family…”, but I realized after I had rambled on for a bit, that it was more about technology decisions… when companies force us to decide between MP3 and WMA or iTunes and WMP or even Super Audio CD and DVD-Audio or Blu-Ray DVD vs. HD-DVD… in every case, there will generally be a wrong decision that you can make.

If you’ve been reading my blog for awhile, you probably know about my column “Coding4Fun”, well now there is an entire site on MSDN going by that name… to be clear, this is not a site all about my column 🙂 … it is a site dedicated to the same concept though, hobbyist coding.

Follow up on that label/line control…
Apr 15, 2005 1 min.
It seems a few people had questions about the control I posted previously, so here are answers to two of the questions that people might be running into: What about word wrapping? Good point, turns out I hadn’t quite finished my code before I got distracted by food or coffee… and then I ended up leaving out word wrapping! You just need to modify 1 line to make wrapping work, though:
