My MCP Virtual Business Card

Joel — Sun, 20 Dec 2009 11:29:34 +0000

When I first got my MCP cert, back in 2005 i was happy by the way Microsoft has sent welcome kits which came with cool plastic wallet cards. Don't have much use though but still is a cool card to have. Unfortunately I lost it and i found to my dismay that they no longer send these stuff anymore.

Thanks to the "Go Green" initiative of microsoft, they scrapped sending welcome kits and wallet cards for all MCP's who get their certifications after June 2009. And this virtual business card is what they replaced it with:

So Sad.....

And they also threw a free profile page for free to make me smile found below

Geek (defined) – Are you a geek?

Joel — Tue, 28 Jul 2009 12:56:46 +0000

Not to be confused with a Nerd. A geek does not have to be smart, a Geek is someone who is generaly not athletic, and enjoys Video Games; Comic Books; being on the internet, and etc.

E.G.:

Only a geek would waste their time on the internet, defining geek on urbandictionary.com
I'm a Geek...

Internal Error 2739 Error in Vista (32 or 64-bit) When Installing Adobe Photoshop CS3 and Reflector Related Programs

Joel — Thu, 09 Jul 2009 05:17:58 +0000

When trying to install some application software in x32 or x64 editions of Windows Vista, you may encounter the following error message when trying to install the program by double clicking on Setup.exe installer. The programs affected include Adobe Photoshop CS3, Adobe Fireworks CS3, Adobe Flash CS 3, Adobe DreamWeaver CS 3, Adobe Creative Suite 3 Web/Production Premium, other Adobe Creative Suite 3 products, older Adobe CS2 software, and other software such as .NET and VB Reflector!, regardless of whether the software is trial or licensed product.

Setup has encountered an error and cannot continue. Contact Adobe Customer Support for assistance. Internal Error 2739.

The problem is applicable for both 32-bit or 64-bit version of Windows Vista. The solution for Internal Error 2739 problem is to re-register the JScript.dll (or optionally VBScript.dll) module in Windows Vista, as suggested in Adobe Forums. To do so:

Run an elevated command prompt as Administrator.
For Windows Vista 32-bit user, ensure that the command prompt is at C:\Windows\System32\ folder. For Windows Vista x64-bit, issue the following command to change to 64-bit folder in order to use the correct DLL files:cd ..\SysWow64
Type the following command and hit Enter:regsvr32 jscript.dll
and optionally (if problem persists),

regsvr32 vbscript.dll
Run the Adobe installer again.
