Damn this error
NDP1.1sp1-KB928366-X86.exe
The upgrade patch cannot be installed by the Windows Installer service because the program to be upgraded may be missing blah blah blah…….
This has been annoying me no end, and am pretty sure I am not the only one. If you don’t believe me do a Google search,
In my case however I found that .NET 1.1 Service Pack 1 was not even installed (WTH), so first I did the install to satisfy the dependency. /rant Surely Windows Update should know not to install this patch though for something that it not installed….. grrrrrr. Anyway after installing the service pack I extracted the installer (C:\Temp\dotnetfx.exe /t:c:\Temp /c) to have the netfx.MSI available and then ran the patch installer. When it asked for netfx.msi I just pointed it to the file under “c:\temp”, however it so far has only asked once out of the three times installed.

I really wish I hadn’t paid up front for three months of WoW, I have hardly played since doing that. I am missing playing it, but at the same time do not feel like sitting down for 6 hours to play. *sigh*
Hate doing backups, 50 DVD’s today, and only half way there…. Something gives me the idea I have too much disk space. Finally finished watching pretty much everything I have, still have a few Anime’s left luckily, but have been keeping them as they have great reviews. The one I have the most hope for is Kaleido Star, but Kino no tabi ~The Beautiful World~ is also a rather interesting one.
The latest Security Monkey case file is one of the best, can’t wait to see what he finds :), always fun to search someone else’s pad. Loved the reference to Uwe and his email LMAO he is a complete ID10T.
Why is FaceBook so popular????? It is not the greatest site in the world, but it does what it does pretty well, although I hate the applications part (at last count 67 installed). I just install those now and leave them be, there are a few I use and the rest can go “insert explicative here” themselves.
Well, I have never listened to K0rns lyrics before and they are, shall I say, deep. Still do not like their music much though. I probably have too much time to think of stuff today
Virtual PC 2007 works well when it works, but for some reason I am able to browse for 30-60 minutes then the internet connection on the session hangs and I need to reboot the VM. I wonder if VMWare Player has the same issue, will find out soon.
Google's $1.3m a year for parking perk

San Francisco – Google Inc co-founders Larry Page and Sergey Brin are reportedly paying $1.3m a year so their Boeing 767 plane can take off, land and park at a Nasa-managed airport located just a few minutes away from the internet search leader’s Silicon Valley headquarters.
The deal became effective Aug 1, but Nasa’s Ames Research Center did not announce the agreement until this week following reports that the large jet had been spotted at Moffett Federal Airfield located near Google’s hometown of Mountain View, California. The news raised concerns about noise problems in cities neighboring the former naval air station.
Moffett Field is normally off limits to private aircraft, but the space agency made an exception for Page and Brin in exchange for the right to carry scientists and their equipment on planes used by the two billionaires.
Nasa already has taken advantage of the agreement to study the Aurigid meteor shower, according to the San Francisco Chronicle, which reported the unusual arrangement between Nasa and the Google co-founders Wednesday.
