  • Today I was trying to get some code running on my home machine (SIP code) when I kept running into problems with respect to registering users and more specifically listening points. My code kept throwing TooManyListeners exceptions. Anyway I was dumbfounded as the exact same code works on multiple other machines. So I thought that…

  • Finally got around to installing the latest version of Apple’s iTunes (7.0.2). I have to say that I’m not easily won over by little gimmics but this release has me well and truly sold. There is a new view for your music library that shows a listing of songs and also above the song list…
