Did you know you can apply scaling for your remote desktop connection? I didn’t. Now I do.
All you have to do is to add this line to your .rdp file.

This is a code post. Skip it if you do not read code.
Have you ever wondered how easy would it be to have a simple synchronized counter? This is my version of it.
The value and the date is saved in the registry. It will infer the registry path via these attributes:
8 assembly: AssemblyTitle
11 assembly: AssemblyCompany
This is how you would use it in an infinite loop:
154 var c = new SynchronizedCounter.ResetEachMinute("Index0");
155
156 while (true)
157 {
158 new { Counter = c.Increment().ToString("000000") }.ToConsole();
159
160 Thread.Sleep(1000 + new Random().Next(2000));
161 }
In Vista and later you will need to add permissions for the program to modify the registry at its location.
The implementation:
14 internal static class Extensions
15 {
16 public static T ToConsole<T>(this T e)
17 {
18 Console.WriteLine(e.ToString());
19
20 return e;
21 }
22
23
24 public static string PathCombine(this string[] e)
25 {
26 var p = e[0];
27
28 for (int i = 1; i < e.Length; i++)
29 {
30 p = Path.Combine(p, e[i]);
31 }
32
33 return p;
34 }
35
36 public static TReturn ReadWrite<TReturn, A, B>(this RegistryKey k, Func<A, B, TReturn> h)
37 {
38 return InternalReadWrite<TReturn>(k, h);
39 }
40
41 public static TReturn SynchronizedReadWrite<TReturn, A, B>(this RegistryKey k, Func<A, B, TReturn> h)
42 {
43 var n = typeof(TReturn).GUID.ToString();
44 var s = new Semaphore(1, 1, n);
45 s.WaitOne();
46 try
47 {
48 return InternalReadWrite<TReturn>(k.CreateSubKey(n), h);
49 }
50 finally
51 {
52 s.Release();
53 s.Close();
54 }
55 }
56
57 static TReturn InternalReadWrite<TReturn>(this RegistryKey k, Delegate h)
58 {
59 var s = (TReturn)h.DynamicInvoke(
60 Enumerable.ToArray(
61 from p in h.Method.GetParameters()
62 let kv = k.GetValue(p.Name)
63 let v = kv == null ?
64 Activator.CreateInstance(p.ParameterType) :
65 Convert.ChangeType(kv, p.ParameterType)
66 select v
67 )
68 );
69
70 foreach (var p in typeof(TReturn).GetProperties())
71 k.SetValue(p.Name, Convert.ToString(p.GetValue(s, null)));
72
73 return s;
74 }
75 }
76
77 public class SynchronizedCounter
78 {
79 /// <summary>

91 {
92 if (SoftwareAssembly == null)
93 {
94 // In design mode we cannot save to registry
95 Increment = () => 1;
96 return;
97 }
98
99 this.IncrementImplementation = (Date, Counter) => Counter + 1;
100
101 var k = Registry.LocalMachine.CreateSubKey(
102 new[]
103 {
104 "Software",
105 ((AssemblyCompanyAttribute)SoftwareAssembly.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyCompanyAttribute), false).Single()).Company,
106 ((AssemblyTitleAttribute)SoftwareAssembly.GetCustomAttributes(typeof(AssemblyTitleAttribute), false).Single()).Title,
107 Name
108 }.PathCombine()
109 );
110
111 Increment =

115 {
116 return new
117 {

121 }
122 ).Counter;
123 }
124

127 /// write to the registry and return the new counter
128 /// </summary>
129 public readonly Func<int> Increment;
130
131 public class ResetEachDay : SynchronizedCounter
132 {
133 public ResetEachDay(string Name)
134 : base(Name)
135 {
136 this.IncrementImplementation =
137 (Date, Counter) =>
138 Date.Day == DateTime.Now.Day ? Counter + 1 : 1;
139 }
140 }
141
142 public class ResetEachMinute : SynchronizedCounter
143 {
144 public ResetEachMinute(string Name)
145 : base(Name)
146 {
147 this.IncrementImplementation =

Little did I know that after installing Visual Studio C++ Express 2005 to a new IE8 test virtual machine along with the Windows Platform SDK and setting it up, I would be unable to compile a project dependent to the MFC.
fatal error C1083: Cannot open include file: ‘afxwin.h’: No such file or directory
That fact is actually written on this page.
What I did as a workaround was: I shared “Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 9.0\VC\atlmfc” folder from host to the virtual machine.
After a long compilation it gave more errors.

Rewind to year 1993 and there you have Biker Mice From Mars. In this video (jump to 26:48) you got Throttle saying the exact same line to Modo. Is there a connection? Also as the show was canceled only 3 episodes in it will continue with a fourth episode soon enough.
I loved that cartoon!

The other day I was bored and did some audio capturing with my Vista machine. For recording I did not use the built-in Sound Recorder. Neither did I use the good old sndrec32. Instead I gave a shot at Audacity. A day after I was so fond of that newly created sound that I decided to create a new ringtone and load it onto my mobile phone. The phone only supported MIDI or MMF. The online Media Convert service traded my mp3 to the needed format. As a last step I had to upload that ringtone to a web server just to download it via the phone.
Here are the steps:
