searching for out of circulation IKEA product (TROLIG)
and IKEA had stopped making them. i need a couple more (even used) to continue my project with them in an esthetically pleasing manner :)
rather then mixing, matching and \ or replacing all of them all together.
if you know of anyone that has one of them and is willing to give it up, please, let me know.
this it how it looks

Help The helpers ...
as you may have asserted i have new found respect for Microsoft with the new Windows 8. i have some "Air Time" with it too, i installed a machine for every preview version available (developer, consumer and release previews). in anticipation for the official release, and been an MSDN subscriber, i went ahead and assumed this will profit me in the long run.
I assumed that i will be able to upgrade my edition, and keep the hours of work put in to customize my machine.
guess what ..... i was WRONG !!!
after trying everything except for installing a fresh install (on a formatted partition), i was referred to this post and followed it. At first it looked promising (may i quote from the post: "Keep in mind that this is not supported, and could end up with a catastrophic failure if some bits are not properly upgraded,")
an of course after the third re-start, i was forced to to what i didn't want to do in the first place
Re-install (at least restoring from the web is fast).
why oh why do i like to help out ?
see you soon.

Taking the longer path
As I am the "computer guy" in the family, I was appointed to be incharge of the presentation for my father-in-law 70th birthday.
Well, at least ,in charge of getting 200 picture images into a powerpoint presentation file (in deed a job worthy of my experties).
As i was starting this tedious task i looked online for an automatic solution for my problem that will save me some time, and found this nice post in msdn.
The task, of course, was a small battle of it's own (the code and my machines configuration needed some modifications due to it beeing a sample and not intended to work out of the box).
but, 3 houers (and 5 seconds of runtime) later, after showing the outcome to the "client", she said: "I would had done it faster manually".
well. I think I still like the longer path ... and I'll see what happens on his 80th (assuming I can find the code)
'till next time.
