They just released a version 3.40 of AIDA32.
By far, it's the best system inventory tool I've ever had the pleasure of using. From hardware to software, it'll tell you everything you never wanted to know about that PC of yours. There's a version small enough to fit on a floppy disk, but even the "big" version weighs in just shy of two megabytes. Forget the rest, folks. This is it. The UI is not without its fair share of quirks, but the utility is quite usable. There's even an integrated SMART tool to help you monitor the health of your hard drives (should they support the protocol). I don't wanna dive into a full-fledged software review, but I thought that this update would be of interest to you. For troubleshooters, it's a godsend. Oh, and it's free for individuals like you and me - did I mention that? Not that it wouldn't be worth paying for, of course. [Lockergnome Windows Daily] |

Query Strings for Windows Media Player v6.4 through v9
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=315959
{Troubleshooting Windows Media Player} There are switches for using with Windows Media Player to assist in troubleshooting. These switches are added in the form of a query string to the end of a requested URL. For example, the command line starts with: mms://server/content.wmv? After the ?, add the switch with its value. Switches include WMThinning, WMBitrate, WMContentBitrate, WMReconnect, WMCache, WMFecSpan, and WMFecPktsPerSpan. If you want to change the number of times that Windows Media Player will automatically try to reconnect to the content, enter: mms://server/content.wmv?WMReconnect=5. In this case, I am telling it I want it to try five times before giving up. If you don't like your PC to be a quitter, up the number. [Meryl] [Lockergnome Windows Daily] |

"Data! data! data!" he cried impatiently. "I can't make bricks without clay."
— Sherlock Holmes to Dr. Watson in "The Adventure of the Copper Beeches" by
Arthur Conan Doyle.
"I
like deadlines," cartoonist Scott Adams once said. "I especially like the
whooshing sound they make as they fly by."
"There is nothing like that feeling of spending days and days banging your head
against a wall trying to solve a programming problem then suddenly finding that
one tiny obscure and seemingly unrelated piece of the puzzle that unlocks the
solution. Oh yeah!"
- Chris Maunder, CodeProject Newsletter 28 Jan 2002
"Management at eSnipe,
which is me, is also feeling the pain of the 2002 bear market. So rather than
pout about it, I bought some stuff on eBay that I really didn’t need, but made
me feel better."
- Tom Campbell, president of
eSnipe
