Microsoft Sync - A quick review

by mhouston 21. June 2009 12:15

So, my wife’s new vehicle has Microsoft Sync.  I had seen the goofy commercials and was not really interested.  I’ve never enjoyed most of the voice activated goofiness in new consumer gadgets.  Well, I was surprised.  It took all of about 5 seconds to connect my HTC running WinMo 6.1.  The features are great.  total control over the phone’s functionality via the vehicle’s interface and voice commands: calling, visible address book, texting and media player.  If you have a vehicle with synch it is totally worth having a WinMo phone.

Do not buy the Logitech Harmony 890 Remote

by mhouston 29. March 2009 05:25

What a POS!  Looks cool…but just doesn’t work.  This was given to me as a birthday present.  BTW, E, I do appreciate the thought.  I struggled with this silly thing for a few hours.  Of course, after searching online, I find out it is a complete POS.  The few people that did get it to work said it turned into a ‘brick’ within a few months of usage.  Logitech has been no help at all to the people that purchased this model.  Lucky for me the ‘retailer’ is going to credit the purchase.  Logitech’s online support FAQ and forums are completely useless.  The phone support wasn’t really useful, but at least the CSR was nice and admitted to me that this is an extremely common problem with the device (and that there is no known fix).  For any of you out there, if you see the following in the initial setup give up on it and ask for a refund.

A hotfix rollup is available for WPF Designer

by mhouston 11. November 2008 15:07

This hotfix rollup fixes several issues in the WPF Designer. This hotfix rollup applies only to the computer that has Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 installed.

•When a resource in an external resource dictionary is updated, Visual Studio 2008 crashes.

•WPF Designer cannot load read-only attached properties, such as the VisualStateManager.VisualStateGroups property.

•If users or codes set a data binding locally, and then the users or codes clear the data binding, WPF designer reports the following error message:

'System.Windows.Data.Binding' is not a valid value for property

•If a Win32 project is set as the startup project, WPF Designer cannot load solutions in Visual Studio 2008 or in Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1.

•When you set and then delete the Source property of a WPF WebBrowser control, Visual Studio crashes.

•When you move a control that uses the MultiTrigger class or the DataTrigger class in the Style class, WPF Designer may generate an InvalidCastException exception.
