I’m not a big fan of Notes and I wish to use Outlook at my new job. So I did some google search and found a connector and a registry hack that you need to do before installation.

Step 1.
Modify the registry
[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Office\11.0\O utlook\Options\General]
“UnknownRowsSortOrder”=dword:00000001

Step 2.
Go to http://www.microsoft.com/downloads/details.aspx?FamilyId=8EBBBA59-5F17-4E52-8980-C4F0DFA92D65&displaylang=en
download and install.

Step 3.
Start your Notes client and then start outlook. Create  a new account and choose “Additional Server Types“. Then choose “Microsoft Office Outlook Connector for IBM Lotus Domino“. Click finish and then you are ready to use Outlook instead of Notes

I’m one of those who got a new Iphone for my self as a present when I got a new job. The thing is that i’m a fan of spotify and not of Itunes so I don’t pay for my mp3 songs. The issue here is that you can’t take a song from your itunes library and make it the ringtone. You need to buy that song from Itunes.

I found a webbsite called audiko.net where you can make your own songs or download songs already made by other users.

Download the songs form audiko.net and then open them in Itunes. Sync with your Iphone and voilá!

Sometimes you need to clear allt he connections to the database in order to make som changes to it. I guess that there is a lot of way doing this but this one suites me.

USE master;
GO
ALTER DATABASE [databaseName]
SET SINGLE_USER
WITH ROLLBACK IMMEDIATE;
GO
ALTER DATABASE [databaseName]
SET MULTI_USER;
GO

Found it on this site

I’m developing a application where there are some time consuming database activity and I need to show the user that the application is running and not crashed. You would also want the GUI thread to be free so the user can move the window and navigate the menus.

I found a blog with a simple example of how you can use a backgroundworker for this. *

I found an interesting article on an simple but very functional botnet on Trend Micro’s website. Bellow is the links for all parts.
