Less Msiérables (LessMSI) Is Available Again!

After moving the server to a new location, world travels, and fighting a barrage of hardware problems, I've finally had the time to put things back together. blogs.pingpoet.com and LessMSI- the tool to extract from MSI files - are now available again!

I'll continue to monitor everything there too, but this is my new home on the web, so it is best to leave comments and suggestions about LessMSI here.

Update: Yes, as surprised and embarrassed as I am to say it, the latest version of LessMSI / Less Msiérables is in fact from November, 10, 2005. 

Update Dec 2009: The tool is now being more actively maintained with reliable downloads at http://code.google.com/p/lessmsi/


I do plan to update it again (I have a long list of requests and ideas), but unfortunately I have a busy schedule over this summer and I don't know when I'll be able to do so.

If we must use Vista, I say have fun with it

I dislike Windows Vista as much as you do, but I finally found a way to smile every time I log in to my vista VM:





...I crack myself up :)

Which would you choose? Which do you choose?

I believe that the more time we spend choosing to run the deep inner peace circuitry of our right hemispheres, the more peace we will project into the world and the more peaceful our planet will be. And I thought that was an idea worth spreading.

Speaking on Internet Talk Show .NET Rocks!

Issam and I were able to have a talk on the .NET Rocks! Internet Talk Show yesterday. We discussed how we got started at Data Dynamics (I can’t believe it was ten years ago) as well as some of our new products just being released including Data Dynamics Reports and Data Dynamics Analysis (in beta). Even dropped some hints on what’s coming up next. Jump over to .NET Rocks!, download it for your iPhone :P and have a listen.
