MySQL notes
Just a few MySQL notes to myself:
Calling mysqld-max-nt.exe will install a MySQL NT Service. To remove the service, use "mysqld-max-nt.exe - remove" .
I tend to prefer running the mysql from console instead of run it as a service. Form Dev point of view, it gives me some flexibility.
MySQL 5.0 has been released, and I was still learning 4.1
Great. Just when I started to drill into Orcale 10.2, and wondering what the other major database vendor was doing these days, I found out that MySQL 5.0 has been relesed.
I was trying to learn MySQL 4.1, but was stopped because I read from other sources saying that the Unicode support in 4.1 was not complete. Hopefully 5.0 have that problem resolved. In fact, it's documented here that
Unicode UTF-8 is well supported.

Tried to convert a ASP.Net 1.1 App to 2.0, but ....
I was trying to convert a ASP.Net 1.1 project that I was working on to ASP.Net 2.0, but I received several errors, and some of them are kind of crytic. The project was compiled fine with ASP.Net 1.1. So I guess the conclusion is that it does take some effort to update to 2.0 .
Done my first Windows Smartphone and PPC app using Visual Studio .Net 2005
Using Visual Studio .Net 2005 to write Windows Mobile app sure is easy. I cranked out a very simply Windows SmartPhone app and a Pocket PC application application within a night, and learn a few stuffs along the way. And yeah I am very impressed by how easy it is to create app on VS.Net 2K5, and I am looking forward to complete the education app in this week.
By the way, I found not much article online that I can read, but found a few MSDN video that gives me a head start. You may found the following links useful:
