MSSQL 2000 server weirdness

by kai on 04/01/2006

Today I've got a pretty strange one. I was setting up my new laptop at work when suddenly during the installation of MSSQL 2000 server the error "A previous program installation created pending file operations on the installation machine. You must restart the computer before running setup" popped up. Well, I've deinstalled some software just before but obviously I've rebooted my machine. So, I've…

Alternative CF engines

by kai on 02/01/2006

Yesterday I've had a chat with AgentM and we were talking about IgniteFusion (which I honestly never dealt with before). With that, I've had a look around the web and my email inbox and decided to compile a brief overview: 1. Blue Dragon 2. IgniteFusion 3. Coral WebBuilder 4. Railo BlueDragon is obviously the most famous one. I've heard a lot of good stuff about IgniteFusion and Railo from…

Agent R: some details

by marcus on 01/01/2006

Hi everyone,

as Kai mentioned in the last post, Agent R aka Renée was born on December 29th at 03:20 AM, being 45cm "tall" (about 1.476 feet) and weighing 2200g (about 4.850 lbs).

I'm so happy, I cannot find any words to describe how I'm feeling right now...

by kai on 30/12/2005

You guys haven't heard anything from me for a pretty long time now. Sorry for that, but the effort needed to move two lifes from Germany to New Zealand was surprisingly ;) a lot... But now we've made it. We arrived in Wellington, Dec 4 as planned, Bruce and my new colleagues from ZeroOne had organised a city-flat for us for two weeks and meanwhile we've found something long-term on our own. We're…

by kai on 16/11/2005

As I had posted some days ago already: My wife Diane and myself have been granted with the status of permanent residents in New Zealand. We've got a bunch of good wishes and congratulations for this via this blog or by email directly and the big question was what's going to happen in the future. Well, let's start with some basic observations: 1. Permanent resident means: to live somewhere…

MAX 2005: Night event

by kai on 19/10/2005

Yesterday's night event really was a blast. Macromedia rented one area of Disney's Califormia Adventure Park and provided lots of food and drinks before taking the coasters, wheels and all the other rides. This particular area of the theme park was shaped up like an old waterfront peer of the 1920's, so it used to be an awesome setting for a special event. The night ended over there in the hotel…
