XBox 360 freezing while watching a DVD movie == SAD PANDA!
3 September 2008I’ve been on a minimalist kick recently regarding my home theater upgrading my receiver to an upscaling Denon AVR-2308CI receiver and then removing all components I never really use. Part of this process was eliminating a DVD player when my XBox 360 is (or at least should be!) capable of playing standard DVD movies. Sure, [...]
WWWinamp v4.2 Build 2990
9 March 2008Well, after about a week of off and on work the latest version of WWWinamp is ready!
I’ve taken the “beta” tag off of it as it seems the recode of the HTTP request processing seemed to work without issue and no bugs were reported (other than the ‘paging’ issue, which really was a defect in [...]
WWWinamp iPhone Compatible Skin — COMING SOON!
1 February 2008Ever since the Apple iPhone was released last year, I was blown away by the multimedia and browser capabilities of it. I started wondering from the get-go about the actual usefulness of a software development kit that only allowed for development of applications in a mobile browser.
It was then announced that the official iPhone SDK [...]
A new version of WWWinamp is coming… I SWEAR!
21 January 2008Hello Everyone!

2D WndrPong! using the Microsoft XNA Game Studio v2.0!
28 December 2007I decided to take some time this weekend to sit down and learn what I could about the latest release of Microsoft’s XNA Game Studio. I started out with a book I purchased called Microsoft XNA Game Studio Creators Guide, which turned out to be a terrible book. Most of the examples in this book [...]
WWWinamp is being converted to .NET Framework v3.5!
5 December 2007Yep, it's true!
I've spent the last week or so playing around with the .NET Framework v3.5 and I really like what I see. Microsoft has also put a lot of work into Team Foundation Server 2008 as well. I've setup a Virtual Machine using Virtual PC here running Team Foundation Server 2008 on Windows 2003 [...]
Discogs.com API Assembly for .NET Applications v1.0 Build 2871
12 November 2007Greetings Everyone!
I've been working on the Discogs.com API Assembly for .NET Applications now for a couple days and have been able to make some progress. It's now a bit more stable as well a a tiny bit easier to use.
I took some time and added a DEBUG class. This class allows you to find [...]
Discogs.com API Assembly for .NET Applications v1.0 Build 2867
7 November 2007Hey Everyone!
I've been putting some time into my Discogs API Assembly hoping to implement all the functions supported by the API. This build should give access to all available API functions:
Get Release Information - SearchRelease(string sRelease)
Get Artist Information - SearchArtist(string sArtistName)
Get Label Information - SearchLabel(string sLabel)
General Search - Search(string sSearchTerm)
I've changed the method signatures for [...]
Discogs.com API Assembly for .NET Applications v1.0 Build 2863
3 November 2007Well, here it is! The Discogs.com API Interface Assembly for .NET Applications.
After fiddling around with the Discogs.com website I decided to take a look at their developers API. It was actually pretty slick, as it lets you look up an Artist and retrieve all of their information including album information on every album they've been [...]
How to run your C# Application as Administrator in Windows Vista?
26 August 2007To have your C# (or any .NET program) run as Administrator in Windows, you'll have to create a manifest for it. What is a manifest file? I think Microsoft explains it best:
Every assembly, whether static or dynamic, contains a collection of data that describes how the elements in the assembly relate to each other. The [...]
