Yesterday, Nov 4 2007 was the last day of daylight saving in US. However, the
Qlock kicks out last week on 29 Oct 2007. I check the Qlock setting and it shows the daylight saving ends at the last Sunday of October (29 Oct) which is wrong. The daylight saving should end yesterday. It looks the Qlock is not that accurate in daylight saving.
Accidentally, I found out a new feature in Vista allow you to add additional clocks. It adjusts the daylight saving correctly. This is what I do:
- Click the Time at lower right
- Click "Change Time & Settings"
- Click "Additional Clock" tab
Here you go, just set the additional clocks that you want based on the time zone. Once you done, move our your mouse and you see the following tooltip:
Then, click the time and see the following:
Is it cool? The only problem is it only able to show 2 additional clocks. I think it still okay with me since I use the third clock (UK) once in a blue moon. This is only available in Vista but not in XP. Now, I start wondering should I uninstall my
Qlock? It looks like now I have no reasons to use Qlock anymore in my Vista laptop.

Few days ago, I shared about how to upgrade your ASP.NET 1.1 to ASP.NET 2.0, this time I am going to discuss about enabling ASP.NET AJAX v1.0 to your existing Web Site or Web Application.
1) You have to downlaod and install the ASP.NET 2.0 AJAX Extensions 1.0. Here
2) You may download and extract the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit. Here
After install it, you will found out that you may create AJAX Enabled Web Application when creating new projects(Web Site or Web Application). You may also found out that there is a new tab called “AJAX Extensions” in Toolbox. If you have extracted the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit, you may do the following,
1) Create new tab called “AJAX Control Toolkit”;
2) Right click under the created tab and click on “Choose Items…”;
3) Click “Browse…” and browse to the folder which you extract the ASP.NET AJAX Control Toolkit, and then browse to “~\SampleWebSite\Bin\” and select AjaxControlToolokit.dll
4) Now you will see a lot of controls which you are ready to use. You may browse and view the “Toolkit Live” to get the sample and idea on the controls.
You are now ready to build your AJAX web site or web application. However, if you have any existing ASP.NET 2.0 Web Site or Web Application, you do the normal action to write AJAX, you will found out that the AJAX is not working in your existing Web Site or Web Application. You have to do the following in order to let your existing ASP.NET 2.0 Web Site or Web Application to be “AJAX Enabled”,
1) Open web.config from your existing web site or web application
2) Add the following XML under <configuration> tab.
<configSections>

With a new major release of a new operating system, one would think that there is so much new stuff to look at and play with that nobody would obsess over an icon. That is not the case, apparently, as opinions flare over Apple’s representation of Windows PCs in Leopard.
One of the new features in Leopard is easy access to computer on the local network, which show up, conveniently, on the left side of the window. Like with nearly all things, Apple has paid a lot of attention to the feature, to the point that the icons of each and every computer there tries to match what the computer product actually looks like on its owner’s desk. With Macs this is easy, since Apple can quickly identify the exact model of the networked machine, but with a PC, things are a bit more complicated since there are so many makes and parts in them. To solve this, Apple represents all Windows PCs as a beige monitor with a Blue Screen Of Death (BSOD). (more…)
