Stupidity

The other day on neowin, I was reading a couple of news article in the NFN Section (Not for nerds), and there was one story that particularly grabbed my attention. Apparently in canada, some kids were having a threesome and they heard the parents coming home, so one had the VERY bright idea of tieing a few bedsheets together and re-enacting repunzel, except there was no princess envolved. The teenager then plunged to his death. If the fall hadn’t have killed him, the father of the girl would have ;) .

iTunes COM SDK

Most people I know use iTunes as their music player. As with anything, there is a lot more you can do with Visual Studio + a COM SDK. Apple has made one for the iTunes music player, and I have been using it for quite a long time. It is available Here. You are able to connect to iTunes with Perl, JScript, C++, C#, VB.NET and probably some more. One language that you can connect to iTunes with is PHP, and there is very little documentation doing this. So, before you start, you need PHP5 (as it has fully rewritten COM internals) and Apache2, if you try with PHP4/Apache1.3.34 you will probably just get a PHP crash and a few ugly errors. You can get apache Here, and PHP5 from Here.

Stay tuned for Part Two.

Welcome to the blog, it might not be updated often but heh. (Who updates blogs often anyway?). On here you will find some code (mainly VB.NET, and C#), MSN Messenger Relataed news and some other crap.

Enjoy.
