advarsel: Erhvervsoplysningen (sorry but in Danish!)
erhvervsoplysningen, magen til annoncehajer skal man sgu lede længe efter.
Jeg har dags dato, modtaget et telefonopkald fra denne “virksomhed”, grundet min registrering i CVR registret. Som i så mange forumposts på nettet (eks hele forumafdelingen på unfairpris.dk!), fortæller de ikke hvor fra de ringer, men blot fra ‘erhvervs registreringen’ og prøver at indgå en aftale om optagelse i et register, som i følge deres konsulenter er en “hel almindelig del af erhvervsregistreringen”.
Det er selvfølgelig snyd og humbuk det hele! Det har INTET med en almindelig erhvervsregistrering at gøre, men er blot en måde de prøver at tjene penge.
Endvidere forsøger de at indgå en juridisk bindende mundtlig aftale, således at man har sagt ja til at indbetale lige under 2000,- om året, inden man har noget på skrift fra dette ‘firma’.
Gudskelov er hjælpen nær!
En mundtlig aftale er aldrig bindende, såfremt der ingen vidner er til aftalen.
Dette er firmaet godt klar over og straks ringer en fra deres “kontrolafdeling” for at verificere at der er indgået en aftale.
Sig ALDRIG ja til dette, har man først HER sagt god for aftalen, er den bindende!
Erhvervsoplysningen har åbenbart eksisteret i flere år og i flere omgange. tilbage i 2003 har de været lukket ned og startet op igen.
Endvidere har det ikke været muligt for mig at finde dem i CVR registret – spøjs virksomhed!

HTC Touch Diamond 2!
sometime during the night between monday and tuesday I ordered my HTC Touch Diamond 2 and it arrived 20 minutes before heading to work today! 
HTC has really done a GREAT job with this phone!
I had its precessor before, and generally liked it. It had a few weak spots;
the calendar really wasnt that usefull
the underlaying windows system seemed clumsy, when you are using the TouchFLO system
and it wasnt really that fast neither.
HTC has improved all of this and much much more!
1: the speed! – its incredible how much they have tweaked the performance! – remember, its the same processor!
2: You really have to digg in, to find the underlaying Windows OS! The TouchFLO now covers most of the interface!
3: the calendar – damn I love it already! its beats all other mobile calendars i’ve tried!
All in all, its a super phone and to all the iPhone lovers: I dont want your hyped Apple stuff! Windows Mobile is the best!

Windows 7 Enterprise – The first impression!
Windows 7 is by far the best Windows operating system ever made!
Windows 7 Enterprise edition installed on my Lenovo laptop in just 15 minutes! From boot to desktop!
The laptop has the following hardware:
- Core 2 Duo T7300 2ghz
- 4gb DDR 2 RAM
- 120 gb Western Digital HDD.
When Windows boots the first time, it had installed all my drivers except my fingerprint reader, nVidia Geforce 7600 GO Graphics and 3 chipset drivers.
All of theese drivers were downloaded using Windows update in no time and installed without any problems! less than 5 minuttes after initial boot, it was 100% up and running!
Its gonna be sweet to test the new Direct Access tools on the 14th, when Windows Server 2008 R2 is released!

Windows 7 Released!
To all with a Technet or an MSDN subscription, Windows 7 has now been released for download on MSDN and TechNet!
The download also includes the localization packs, which among others, include the Danish Translation!
Unfortunatly Windows 7 has still not reached the Windows 7 beta program on Microsoft Connect.
Update #2
Microsoft has changed the download system and downloads are now way faster. Got the Ultimate disc with 3-4mbytes/sec!
Update…
Its not the fastest download speed, but then again… What to expect when everybody who has access tries to download at the same time?
currently im ’stuck’ with approx 100kb/sec

Facebook developer toolkit!
Earlier today I was looking for a good set of facebook tools, for either C# or Delphi to develope some small facebook desktop applications and fell over The ‘Facebook Developer Kit’ on CodePlex!
Apparenly the project has started, because Microsoft needed a framework for .net, which could interact with facebook, and a company named Clarity Consulting inc. got the job to develop such a toolkit for .net! Now the project is getting near to version 3.0! and the current release (2.1) works for both ASP.net applications and WinForms, and its really easy!
From the project website:
Clarity Consulting Inc. http://www.claritycon.com developed the original Facebook Developer Toolkit for the Microsoft Visual Studio Express Team. We have seen great feedback and suggestions for improving the code base. We worked with Microsoft on an idea to keep the code relevant and up to date for all the Facebook Developers. Together we decided that hosting the source here on CodePlex will be the best way to track items and allow community involvement in the source. We encourage everyone to get involved.
I made a little application, to simply connect to facebook, this is how easy it is!
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 15 16 17 18 19 20 21 22 23 24 | FacebookService fbService = new FacebookService(); fbService.ApplicationKey = ""; //your application key ... fbService.Secret = ""; //your fb application secret! fbService.IsDesktopApplication = true; try { fbService.ConnectToFacebook(); } catch { //an error has occoured or the user aborted! } if (fbService.SessionKey != null) { MainForm main = new MainForm(fbService); Application.Run(main); //the user has successfully logged into facebook! } else { Application.Exit(); } |
The user has now authenticated with facebook! and can begin to get events and such from the user.
I wanted to get all the events, with name, event id, who planned the event and when it occurs! This was soo wasy!
1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12 13 14 | //get a list with all the facebook events, of type facebook.Schema.facebookevent.. IList<facebook.Schema.facebookevent> fbEvents = fbService.events.get(); //loop through the list for (int i = 0; i < fbEvents.Count; i++) { //get the event on place i, and print out the information to a richTextbox! facebook.Schema.facebookevent aEvent = fbEvents.ElementAt(i); richTextBox1.Text += "\n" + i.ToString() + ":" + aEvent.name; richTextBox1.Text += "\n\t" + aEvent.location.ToString(); richTextBox1.Text += "\n\t" + aEvent.eid; richTextBox1.Text += "\n\t" + "Start: " + aEvent.start_date.ToString(); // +" " + aEvent.start_time.ToString(); richTextBox1.Text += "\n\t" + "Ends: " + aEvent.end_date.ToString(); // +" " + aEvent.end_time.ToString(); } |
currently still fooling around with the basics, but applications for this will come soon! (including sync with outlook using VSOT!)
