Install vmware-player on Kubuntu

February 4th, 2009

Next semester I need to code some programs for MINIX 3. Since I do not want to install this operating system on one of my machines I decided to use VMWare. The VMWare Player is free, and can be easily installed on Linux. At least that is what I thought…

Windows 7 and visual web developer express works

February 2nd, 2009

In one of my previous post I wrote a bit about the upcoming Windows 7. One of the biggest problems was having a Windows 7 installation up and running, but without visual web developer express (VWD) working it was quite a useless operating system.

The main problem showed up when I opened a ASP.NET web application. Editing the C# source files was no problem at all, but as soon as I opened an .aspx file the whole program freezed.

As a web developer, having a working version of VWD is too important so I switched back to Windows Vista. Sometimes solving problems can be simple; today I decided to reinstall VWD and guess what? Works like a charm! :)
