A new CMS system has entered the scene, SiteMagic CMS.. It exists in three versions; one free (with advertisements), one paid without advertisements (cheap) and one paid without advertisements and with mysql support (the two first are file based which is OK for smaller sites but likely not sufficient for large sites with heavy load).

Noise cancelling headphones are really cool, what they do is to monitor the background noise around the user and then sends inversed noise into the headphones thus canceling the noise. This technique is among other places used on aircraft carriers to protect the ears of the flight crews, and many frequent fliers use them to remove the annoying humming when flying.
So, the technology is cool, however two problems exist with most noise cancelling headphones;
But these Blackbox i10 headphones seem to have something going for them, 1) Not THAT expensive (still the price is not for the faint hearted) and 2) The power issue has been solved in an excellent way by using the ipod 30pin connector (which does require an ipod or an iphone)..
Are you as annoyed as me in regard to the “first run wizard” thingy that IE8 is displaying the first time it runs?? It’s as annoying as the older IE’s that also launched the Email creation wizard… as if it was not enough that they always start off by launching some stupid intro site..
Anyhow, no reason to get TOO upset, as with most things there are ways around this, so take a look here;

many lovely ways to get rid of this stupidity.
One of the simplest is this;
Registry:
DWORD : “DisableFirstRunCustomize” set to 1 under HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Main
Deployment, OS, Web
You receive the following error message after Windows 2003 boots.
At least one service or driver failed during system startup. Use Event Viewer to examine the event log for details.
There is a quite excellent article here on how to debug errors like this; http://networkadminkb.com/kb/Knowledge%20Base/Windows2003/Troubleshooting%20%91At%20least%20one%20service%20or%20driver%20failed%20during%20system%20startup%92.aspx
I found it while trying to find a way to surpress the dialog box, which sadly I did never find (one would think there would be some registry tweak that would disable this stupid dialogbox on a server where the error had no effect and was impossible to resolve)..
Had problems with a server that was complaining that it could not sync. time with the DC, it stated that it received invalid data amongst other.
Event ID 38, 47 and 29 – Source: W32Time
“The time provider NtpClient cannot reach or is currently receiving invalid time data from NTP_server_IP_Address.”
Found the resolution here;

Basically (this worked for me);
1. Click Start, click Run, type cmd, and then press ENTER.
2. At the command prompt, type the following commands in the order that they are given. After you type each command, press ENTER.
• w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:<TIME SERVER IP, EG DC>,0×8 /syncfromflags:MANUAL
• net stop w32time
• net start w32time
• w32tm /resync
a few additional dos commands you may try when debugging w32time;
C:\>net time /querysntp
C:\>w32tm /resync
C:\>w32tm /monitor

Funny stuff….
I read on a Danish news site some time ago that a researcher claimed that the antenna design on the new IPhone 4 could cause problems, this video seem to support his claim;
Quite sad, I was considering buying one of those nice devices but now I am not so sure….
More on the Iphone antenna problems (with a humoristic touch)…
