Blog Logo Concept III

Here is another concept for a new logo. The concept includes the text “wassupjose” in a callout. I like the web 2.0-ish feel to it, but not sure the green compliments the blue color pallet of the blog. I am just too damn picky for my own good, nice!

The Internet Tubes

Aside from the fun of the tubes. A couple quick tricks.

Access your Address Bar in your Internet browser using Alt+D.

Once there type the name of the domain you're going to access and press Ctrl+Enter.

Ctrl+T opens a new tab for you to watch multiple YuTube videos at the same time!

The Call Stack

The call stack window is a great friend to the developer and I use it constantly while debugging. I can't believe this little tool, the cornerstone of developing had escaped me for so long. I think I found this little guy not more than two years ago and it instantly became the cornerstone of my daily debug sessions.  Well seeing as how I love myself some shortcuts and given that I'm finally starting to see some .NET code, I was hoping to share some shortcuts as I feel up to it.

MSVBVM60.dll was not found

I ran into a few problems with a vb6 dll I had been working with. It seemed to be functioning differently on separate servers. So I decided to try and start my game from scratch and unregister the component from the registry. *BONK*

This application has failed to start because MSVBVM60.DLL was not found. Re-installing the application may fix this problem.

So I did just that and reinstalled the VB6 Runtime components. Which seemed to help slightly. But I was subsequently slapped with this next error.

regsvr32-2.png  LoadLibrary("Some.dll") failed. GetLastError returns 0x0000007e.

Well, I notice that there are some locks on the tool using my favorite unlocker tool.  But After an IIS reset (which removed the locks), I was still at the same point. No matter what I do it seems that I can't register this dll correctly.

But finally a colleague suggested that my regsvr32 might in fact be corrupted. What are the odds of that though? Evidently pretty damn good. Once I got my hands a new version of regsrv32 I was back in business!
