Creating Thumbails with GDI

Posted In: -
I have read alot of articles that discuss creating thumbnails and it seems like alot of these articles are using third party components to create thumbnails while uploading files. To think that this is a difficult chore is not as hard as you think it might be. The following article will set you through setting up your web form to create a thumbnail of your size choice. For those who are unfamiliar with GDI, GDI is responsible for tasks such as drawing lines and curves, rendering fonts and handling palettes. We are going to put this subsystem together with ASP.NET 2.0 and render graphics(thumbnails) for use on your site.

Microsoft Zune Fumble

Posted In: Zune
Well, as most of you are aware of, the Microsoft Zune had a little hiccup yesterday. Well it wasn't a little hiccup, it was huge as all Zune 30 gb MP3 Players seemed to freeze at 100% when the zune was booting up. I have done alot of reading on this topic and seems to be an internal clock driver that is causing the issue for the leap year. The next one is 2012 which I am sure microsoft will have the fix for. Is his acceptable, NO, do i forgive microsoft? YES! The funny thing is, is that I have read probably 100 post on this issue and there seems to be a numerous amout of people talking alot of smack towards microsoft.
