WordPress for Windows Phone 7 Application Problem

Posted on by
1

I’ve changed my blog address to http://www.sadjad.net/blog  so it wouldn’t be filtered in Iran and I have no excuses for being lazy and not write about things I find. So I’ve also installed the WordPress for Windows Phone 7 Application which can be found here.

I’ve found the application very useful and has all the features I need but it has a very BIG bug. My HTC HD7 is running on Windows Phone 7.5 (Mango) and the application cannot save the blog address I add to the application. This way you need to add your blog each time you open the application. Also I’ve tried to pin the blog to the start page but when I press the Blog HUB it disappeared and the application opened just like it was the first time I opened it.

So I’ve made a post for this problem in their forum and here is the answer I’ve got:

Thanks for letting us know, I was able to reproduce this myself. We’ll get this fixed in the next release.

Hope this problem will soon be gone,

Yay, here is my first blog since like a year before, when someone in Microsoft decided to close the Windows Live Space and send us all to WordPress and the someone in Iran decided to filter *.wordpress.com and I became a lazy-ass to use VPN or other things to update my blog.

Anyways, today I’m gonna start again to write here.

Hey Windows Phone users, you might checkout http://windowsphone.uservoice.com/ seems like Microsoft it now open to ideas for at least the Great Windows Phone. You’ll have 10 vote to spend on some ideas that might got through the next version on the OS, so spend your voted carefully.

You my Persian friends might vote for the “Persian Language Support” :D

The Best Antivirus Even Got Better 2

Microsoft has just release the “Microsoft Security Essentials 2″ and I just loved it, not only because of some new features like:

Network inspection system
Windows Firewall integration
Enhanced protection for web-based threats
New protection engine

But also the are some secret changes:

1) You can now install the MSE on Server platforms. I’ve just tested it on Windows Server 2008 x86 & x64 and also the new Windows Server 2008 R2 x64.
Before this I had to install the great Microsoft Forefront Client Security, by just a little [hacky] command file; but this was not the problem, the problem was I had to configure WSUS to download the definition updates for both MSE and Forefront and file size was about 150MB average.

2) WSUS download the MSE 2.0 Definition updates cumulatively, means less download size if you want to download the definition daily or more.

Horror Days are Over!!!

According to liveside.net Microsoft unleashed the “Full-Seasion SSL” for hotmail, you must visit https://www.hotmail.com to start using this feature.

You might ask why I’m so excited about it, because using this feature the Goverments (like ours) cannot access your email while you’re using it and so the horror days for “The Grean Party” is over and now they can send and recieve emails and no one could read it, Thanks MS; and hey Google it’s your turn!

In Memory of Windows Live Spaces

Last night Microsoft has just decided to shutdown the Windows Live Spaces and kicked our asses and gave us some generous choices to either delete or download or move our space to WordPress; And I just feel like being rapped (Not that I’ve ever been :D ), I’ve been using Windows Live Spaces since 2007 (it was a beta product at that time) and I’ve seen it being updated lots of times and the last update which was about spam comments was great.

Anyway the WordPress is good (much much better), with lots of new features and I like it and I know I’m gonna be a WordPress blogger from now on. The only thing I miss here is “The Integration” with Windows Live which I like the most in the Windows Live Services.

P.S: To Sina Hakami, it is now have the “Like It” feature.

Windows 7 HomeGroup Problem

Posted on by

I’ve always been using Microsoft Windows Domain Controller for managing more than one computer (Which I always had more than 4) but after moving to my own appartment I’ve disjoined my two computers from the old domain. Last couple of days I’ve been playing with HomeGroup of Windows 7 and I have a weird problem.

Windows Internet Explorer 9.0

As you might read my last entry, I’ve been waiting to test the full beta version of IE 9.0, and I’m now and I have to say WOW, it is good, I mean Microsoft is in the right pass (Windows 7, IE 9.0, Kinect, WinPhone 7). It is absolutly the best web browser of them all and yes it is as good as chrome 6.0. So here is my review:
 
Pros:
1) It is fast and clear
2) The thing that every tab can be grabbed and it would be a new window: It is chrome mimic but who cares it ain’t a patent.
3) If any tab hangs the other tabs are fine now
4) The Download manager, atleast good job. If I remember right it was first announced in early beta stage of Vista but them it disapeared.
5) The messages are now appeared in the bottom of page, WOW no more popups, I hate them.
6) The "Addon Load Time Checker" it was first announced in IE 8.0 but now it is automatic.
 
Cons:
1) The font thing!!!
2) When a tab is fetching the data (nothing to show) and you switch through tabs will show the last tab contents but it could show a loading symbol
3) This one I remeber in all versions: The save page progress (File->Save) still hangs all the tabs in that browser, Man look at what chrome do about it (a progressbar in the bottom of the page would do the thing), I think this procedure is an "Ancient Code" which no one would go after it :D  (here is where I can help)
 
If you see something else comment me about it,

DELL Inspiron DUO

Atlast after 4 years (I really don’t remember maybe 5 or more) DELL released a laptop I would like to buy, it is called "Inspiron DUO". It is a tablet and also at the same time a laptop, a new way of making tablet without a week point "THE HINGE". It is a 10" touch screen notebook (PLEASE make it a capacitive/ multi touch screen) with a dual core/ hyperthread enabled Intel Atom N550 (1.5 GHz/ 1MB cache/DDR3/ 64bit/… for more info checkout http://ark.intel.com/Product.aspx?id=50154&code=Intel%c2%ae+Atom%e2%84%a2+Processor+N550+(1M+Cache%2c+1.50+GHz) nothing else is known but I HOPE 2GB RAM and 64GB SSD and NVidia ION 2 (this is what I don’t think would be possible ’cause the N550 has a built-in VGA). The only down side of the CPU is the Intel® VT is not supported, but I’m sure it is more powerfull that N270/N280 (N270 has 47 million transistors but the N550 has 176 millions WOW!!)
 
The only things I hope are 2GB RAM and dual touch capabality and the price about 700$ and I would buy one.
 
 
P.S: DELL has just stole the BUZZ around Windows Internet Explorer 9, which would be beta(ed) to day, I’m very excited to test it and to see if microsoft is going in the right direction (and IF YES, I have to say I love you BALLMER, you’ve made them all wrongs->right; You know Vista->7, IE8->9, WinMo6.x.x.x.x->WinPho7 …)

The best antivirus got better

Posted on by

Everybody knows I admire Microsoft Products but the ones who I’ve worked with know how perfectionist I could be about software I choose; And I’ve chose the Microsoft Security Essentials and I think it is the best. But also someone might say I use Mac and I don’t need antivirus, and I say BULLSHIT, Mac does not have user (only 10% of all computer users) and it doesn’t worth it to write a virus for it. Anyway microsoft has updated a beta version of the MSE and you can download it from https://connect.microsoft.com/securityessentials if you are accepted as beta tester, as they said the new features are:
 
  1. Windows® Firewall integration: Microsoft Security Essentials setup allows you to turn on Windows Firewall.
  2. Enhanced protection from web-based threats: Microsoft Security Essentials has enhanced integration with Internet Explorer® which helps prevent malicious scripts from running and provides improved protection against web based attacks.
  3. New and improved protection engine: The updated engine offers enhanced detection and cleanup capabilities and better performance.

and the background image of the product has also changed. Also regarding to my earlier post http://sadjadbp.spaces.live.com/blog/cns!21F12BB61B822DFA!7323.entry about the problems with two product with the same name under Microsoft Security Essentials in WSUS, now I can say the "MS Security Essentials" is the new version so they should’ve called it "Security Essentials V2".

It has been a month since I have a spam comment on my blog, WOOOOOOOOOOOOOW, at last in Wave 4 of Windows Live Spaces the spam comments are gone and I’m happy to say I have deleted over 2000 spam comments and reported them all as spam but there is still 1000 more to delete and if they don’t keep coming I will report them all, make my blog a clean one.
 
But now as that problem is solved, there is a new one, spam friendship invitation, MAAAAAAAAN can you not do the spamming I HATE ALL SPAMMERS in ALL THE WAYS, you see there are spams every where, spams on the phone (Call/ SMS), spams on the door (door to door shoppers), spams in the mailbox, spams in emails (this is a regular one, thanks Hotmail/ Exchange guys it is going to be perfectly gone), spams in blog, do have any where else?
