Fascinated by the pure energy of the techno dance styles. But decide for yourself

This video is a must see! It’s astonishing how they managed to create a great and interesting video only by using great characters, good timing and interesting ideas. But see for yourself:

I wanted to point this week to a really useful website when you are addicted to electronic music. A friend of mine once pointed me to this website and I must admit I have never heard such great music before visiting crystalclouds.com! Check it out. The music is free to download and provided by the producing DJs!

I stumbled over a set of pictures which shows the US and allied troops in Afghanistan. The webpage I found shows a photo collection of coalition troops over the course of the last seven years in the country. I think the pictures are quite impressiv!

Some time ago we were moving from ncover to partcover because ncover is now a commercial product and also we had a lot of problems on our cruise control server. Here are the scripts and also transformations that I made to make the partcover report look like the ncover report. This is presented without much explanation. Contact me if you have any questions.

NAnt Buildscript

	<property name="partcover.exe" value="C:/Program Files/Gubka Bob/PartCover .NET 2/PartCover.exe" />
 
	<target name="coverage" description="compute coverage statistics for all unit tests defined in project.nunit" depends="create-nunit">
		<property name="date" value="${datetime::now()}" />
		<property name="acceptable" value="75" />
		<mkdir dir="${results.dir}" unless="${directory::exists(results.dir)}" />
		<exec program="${partcover.exe}" failonerror="true">
			<arg value="--target=${nunit.exe}" />

		<!-- This generates the extension data which is needed for cruise control, the attribute "in" is just used for validation reason -->

Tracelight goes multi-language No I’m just kidding. I will switch the official language of the blog entries from German to English. Hope I can still keep all the German readers of my blog.

Ich brauche eigentlich den Indexing Service von Windows XP nicht wirklich. Irgendwie habe ich einfach keine Verwendung für die Searchbar. Ich weiss eigentlich immer wo ein File liegt, weil ich habe es ja auch dort abgelegt. So klicke ich mich kurz durch den Explorer und habe das File. Den Geschwindigkeitsvorteil beim File finden den mir der Indexing Service bietet geht meiner Meinung nach unter wenn ich dafür viel CPU Power und erhöhter Festplattentraffic auf meiner Maschine habe. Darum habe ich mich entschieden den Service abzustellen. Hier eine englische Anleitung wie das geht:

To turn off indexing:

1. Open up “My Computer.”
2. Right-click on your hard drive (usually “C:”) and choose “Properties.”
3. Uncheck the box at the bottom that reads “Allow Indexing Service to…”
4. Click OK, and files will be removed from memory. This removal may take a few minutes to complete.

To disable the indexing service:

1. In the “Start” menu, choose “Run.”
2. Type “services.msc” and press Enter.
3. Scroll-down to “Indexing Service” and double-click it.
4. If the service status is “Running”, then stop it by pressing the “Stop” button.
5. To make sure this service doesn’t run again, under “Startup Type:”, choose “Disabled.”

Windows search will still work if you perform these steps, but it will work more slowly than if indexing was enabled.

Microsoft hat gerade ein neues Update für die XBox Oberfläche veröffentlicht. Es hat sich einiges getan! Überzeugt euch selbst:

Ich denke mit dem Tool kann man sicherlich nicht einen grossen DJ konkurenzieren. Aber spassig ist es wohl alleweil. Man stelle sich Parties vor wo der Gast selber DJ spielt und die Musik des Abends gestaltet

Eine neue Erfahrung in Sachen Musik bietet Microsoft Surface und die Applikation Surface DJ von Vectosoft. Mit ein paar einfachen Handgriffen wird man so jeder laie zum DJ. Einfach Sounds und Loops in die Mitte der Surface-Anwendung schieben und fertig ist der Party-Sound:
