Microsoft Silverlight patch goofy

Posted Tue, 03/03/2009 - 11:40am by Selwyn Polit

Well Microsoft started pushing an update to Silverlight - updating it to version 2.0.40115.0 (40115? what are they thinking?) Of course it wouldn't install and there was no apparent way to uninstall the old version of silverlight. I tried even installing the new version right over the old but that failed also. So I dug around and tried some stuff.

Basically it involved downloading an old utilitiy from Microsoft that I had never discovered before. TheWindows Installer Cleanup Utility.

Putting some attention on website

Posted Sun, 11/16/2008 - 11:04pm by Selwyn Polit

I finally have become motivated to do some more work on the website. This social networking stuff seems to have really gotten some traction. Let's see if it grabs me. I have been spending time on www.facebook.com and getting hooked up with folks from high school in South Africa. That has been really great. Maybe some of them will find this blog? more later.

New egg laying spot

Posted Sun, 03/02/2008 - 9:48pm by Selwyn Polit

The girls have decided that since it's been really chilly, they would rather sleep in their laying boxes. This is in awfully bad taste as the eggs sometimes end up with poop on them. Yucko! So they found a nice little spot in the backyard where they now lay their eggs. Nice and clean and in a protected little spot. Wonderful. It is also closer to the house and behind a little screened area. I'll post a pic one of these days. I got 19 eggs the other day. Of course I had been sick for a week so there was no egg collecting.
