Zobozdravnik

peterj — Mon, 07 Apr 2008 18:18:00 GMT

Se ze nekaj casa nisem oglasil - zaceli smo delati s polno paro in je bolj malo casa, da bi kaj napisal na blog (vem, da to ni dovolj dober razlog, ampak vseeno). Pred kaksnim mesecem sem se narocil k zobozdravniku. Sodelavec mi je predlagal zobozdravnika, ki je v Redmondu (kaksnih 10 min voznje od stanovanja). Seveda je on dobil gift card za to :) Stvari tak potekajo, da ce komu priporocis zobozdravnika dobis $25 (ali $50) darilni bon za npr. Starbucks, REI, B&N. Izkusnja pri zobozdravniku...(read more)

Izpit opravljen!

peterj — Mon, 11 Feb 2008 19:31:00 GMT

Vozniski izpit sem uspesno opravil (dobil sem 90 tock od 100 moznih - za uspesno opravljen izpit moras doseci (oz. ne smes past pod) 80 tock). Za vsako 'napako' ti odstejejo X tock (2, 4, 6). En od odbitkov je seveda bilo bocno parkiranje. Izpit je bil dokaj lahek, vozis nekje 10-15 minut in to je to. Dobra (oz. mogoce tudi slaba) stran je, da ne gres na avtocesto - mislim, da bi se vec ljudi padlo izpit, ce bi vozili po avtocesti. Mogoce en primercek zakaj bi bilo temu tako: ko se pripeljes v...(read more)

Vozniski izpit

peterj — Mon, 28 Jan 2008 17:33:00 GMT

Pred tednom (ali dvema) sem sel opravljat teorijo za vozniski izpit. Hvala bogu, stvar ni tako zakomplicirana kot pri nas. Tukaj je dovolj, da si star 16 let (se mi zdi), gres opravit teorijo in prakticno voznjo. Teoreticni izpiti izgleda takole: - prides v Licensing office, kjer najprej cakas 10 - 30 minut (odvisno od guzve) - medtem casom izpolnis 'prijavnico' (osebni podatki, visina, teza, barva oci)- ko poklicejo tvojo stevilko stopis do okenca, kjer oseba vnese podatke v racunalnik - med drugim...(read more)

Nekaj v slovenščini

peterj — Sat, 15 Dec 2007 06:33:00 GMT

Ker sem odprl nov blog (v angleščini) sem se odločil, da bom tukaj na tem blogu napisal tudi kaj v slovenščini. Pred malo več kot dvema tednoma sem se preselil iz službenega stanovanja v najemniško stanovanje in v tem času mi je celo uspelo opremiti stanovanje (še dobro, da imajo IKEO) ter porihtati zadeve kot je kabelska (100+ kanalov, OnDemand = $40), internet (6Mbit okoli $40). Še dobro, da sem selitev planiral v tednu purana, ker smo v službi dobili nekaj dni prosto. RazprodajeDan po...(read more)

What's going on?

peterj — Fri, 30 Nov 2007 05:11:00 GMT

Sooo, much is going on. I bought new furniture for a new apartment (yes, I moved from corporate apartment and rented my own apartment :) and bunch of other things - basically I got an empty apartment and I had to fill it up with something. I'll try and post some pictures during the weekend to flickr. Oh, I also created my *official* Microsoft blog at http://blogs.msdn.com/peterj.

Document level, application level, huh?

peterj — Tue, 02 Oct 2007 00:31:00 GMT

Today I saw this post on VSTO forum and I thought it would be a good thing to create a post to describe what's the difference between document and application level VSTO customizations. Document level A document level customization is a customization that is applied only to the document. It means that code you write is available only to document selected/created when you create new project. If you open another document don't expect your VSTO customization to run - it will not because the document...(read more)

peterj — Sun, 30 Sep 2007 16:58:00 GMT

I saw this post on Raymond Chen's blog. Since tomorrow is my first day at Microsoft I am 100% sure this can't happen to me, since I will walk to new employee orientation as well as to my office :) Share this post: Email it! | bookmark it! | digg it! | reddit!...(read more)

In Redmond

peterj — Fri, 28 Sep 2007 20:58:00 GMT

Yesterday afternoon I arrived to Redmond. Flight was fine, NWAs Airbus 330 has a built-in LCD in every seat and on demand audio/video/games. Choice of movies wasn't impressive, I only watched Mr. Brooks (quite good movie, I will see it once more because I think movies on airplanes are edited a bit). Apartment I got is pretty big even though it's 'only' 1 bedroom (apartment sizes are different in USA and Slovenia - this apartment would easily be an apartment with 2 rooms back in Slovenia). Today...(read more)

VSTO deployment in Visual Studio 8 - Orcas

peterj — Thu, 16 Aug 2007 10:30:00 GMT

Hats off to VSTO (VS, ClickOnce) team! No more problems with CAS and prerequisites. You can deploy your VSTO solutions with ClickOnce with a couple of clicks - same as you would deploy Windows Forms application. I would post an example but it's really so simple that you don't need an example :) (you can check the example over at Paul's blog). You can download Visual Studio 2008 beta 2 here.

Excel 2003 Work Schedule

peterj — Mon, 16 Jul 2007 16:10:00 GMT

I am 'reposting' this - looks like my download section does not work. You can download Excel 2003 Work Schedule here. I opened up the template today after about 2 years and instantly I discovered some bugs :). If you want to do some code changes and/or to develop this further I am willing to give out the source (VBA) (contact me - leave a comment). A year ago I was thinking on redoing the complete template from VBA to VSTO but somehow I didn't find the time to do it (yes, the time is a great excuse)....(read more)
