Pissed Off, Meshed Up!
I FINALLY got access to the Mesh SDK thanks to Chris I on my team who was lucky to go to PDC. (Highly encourage you guys to go next year… Attendees get all the good stuff!! and they get even more than the MS Folks that go!)
I just wanted to test out how to deploy an application onto Live Mesh and surprise, surprise, I picked my favorite application (it’s the only application i know how to build really… :p) and Meshed it up!
After all the logistics, I opened up my original solution for the Piss Off Silverlight application.
1. I added references to the dlls in the Live Framework SDK
2. I made some changes to the App.xaml.cs file:
What this code basically does is create an instance of the Silverlight Application once the Mesh Application finishes loading. I have yet to actually make use of the Mesh API in the app itself. I guess in order to do that, Piss Off will probably need a UI update. I’ll continue to explore and update this post when I do. Meanwhile, her’e’s what Piss Off looks like on my Live Desktop. So between me and Live Mesh, LIVE MESH WINS!

Sittin’ on the Dock of the Bay
I have a thing for noticing patterns in things and this evening while listening to a song by Sara Bareilles and the song kind of got stuck in my head. “Sitting on the dock of the bay, wasting time”.
Then while singing in my head, I realized that all the places where I’ve lived for an extensive period of time have had a bay within the city’s proximity. Sometimes it’s just amusing to find these patterns. 
Wonder where the next bay is… or is the song supposed to tell me something… hehe

Read your VHD’s content in Windows 7
One of the “irks” I’ve had with VPCs is that sometimes I needed to urgently access content that’s inside a VPC, most of the cases, the VPCs aren’t mine as I always go native 
So previously, I had to first install VPC or Virtual Server on my own machine (or find one that had it) boot up the VM and copy the files. Sometimes I even have trouble doing getting that to work :S. Which is why i’m extremely happy that in Windows 7, you can go into Disk Management and “Attach VHD”.
7 will then be able to see the drive as if it were any other drive attached on your machine. (Notice that your virtual hard drives appear in a bright bluish color so you can distinguish it from your ordinary drives) Also, in one of the Keynotes at PDC, I believe I remember hearing that you should be able to boot natively into a VHD that you’ve attached. I think that is just AWESOME.
Check out this video with Mark Russinovich on Channel 9
I’m SO looking forward to 7 Beta.
I WANT ONE!
The Fujitsu Lifebook U Series is half of half of my current work machine. And it’s a tablet! Anyone going Christmas shopping for me, you know what I want
