march 2007 progress report

[Angelico_Payne]

Adobe Shockwave Player 10.2.0.021 is out

[rsrcomp]

Sorry, I had a bad day. One of these days Neowin will make a decent countdown timer,

the one that is showing is just a predefined countdown and bears no relationship to the

actual time to release.

Nah I'm cool with t (as you could tell from some of my previous posts), i was just thinking about the guy's who've ordered CD's/DVD's and the countdown timer said almost ready and as i'd not seen any progress reports recently i was just inquiring :)

That's the thing that concerns me also. In an effort to be courteous to the people who ordered I contacted them explaining that a new version would be released soon. At the time (5 weeks ago) March hadn't been canceled yet and I thought it was going to be finished soon. Everyone has appreciated the email but I'm starting to get over anxious, I just hate having people wait so long. I've been waiting for people to post complaints or start emailing me.

I'm not trying to place the blame on anyone because I do understand it is my fault. I greatly appreciate the efforts of everyone in the development team of AP. You guys kick ass and I KNOW how crazy life can be and how much fun making a lot of changes can be!!

this threads getting a little full, heres a new one

[+theblazingangel MVC]

just going back to finish off tweak discussion

OK following tweeks are in conflict...

sorted ;)

Also tweks regarding improvements of IE6 like : stop IE reusing window, stop bad dns cashing, status bar ,etc ... are they working and needed for IE7?

no idea, i don't use IE7...

Also disable avi preview .. is it related to OS or WM?

probably the operating system by the looks of it, if it was specific to wm wouldn't it be in a wm related key...

Also there is no need for powertoy open command window here, beacuse there is allready a tweak in tweaks section that does the same

ok, removed the powertoy

A question about this tweak

...

is it supposed to go to .DEAFULT or to [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Control Panel\Desktop] , since there are both values in those both keys, and i dont know if they control same things?

i believe it's supposed to be as it is (.DEFAULT) and a separate thing!

This is a current set of tweaks I use for neo computers....

WOW, i'll come back to this another time if i have time

[Angelico_Payne]

Lets hope so, hopefully everything completed by Thursday night :cool: . I am on call to a system on Friday with no connection to broadband. Otherwise, I will have to recode a script to re-install offline Wednesday night :angry:

^ You can still use the November Full + Dec Update + Jan Update + Feb Update + create a cmd script for the new hotfixes.
