I was playing around with Whidbey (finally), the Beta 2 drop and decided to check out if Entlib compiles. After converting the project (ping me if you need screen shots), there were a whole bunch of errors. Well, in reality not errors but warnings. Since, by default VS.NET 05 treats warnings as errors, the build fails miserably. Once I got around to setting ignore warnings, it did compile, but I have not gotten much further with it yet due to lack of time – more playing around with that this week. But almost all the failures were due to stuff being deprecated in .NET 2.0. I have both the logs – where things were failing and then the one where I ignore the warnings.
BTW, setting ignore errors on each and every project in the solution is painful, if anyone has a better way of doing it then let me know (and no I did not open the project file and parse to change that setting), but that is the only way then I can write a small piece of tool which can do that.

Microsoft recently release the Kinect SDK which allows you to implement a Natural User Interface and program against it! There is a lot of interest around including claims on how Robotics will change to how you can integrate a light sensor. You can use Visual Studio (C++, C# and VB.NET supported) and get quite interesting results. Here are a series of links below which will help you get started.

After moving to Bangalore, it turns out that I would need to get one or more UPS's for the machines at home. The place we will be moving to in a few weeks does have power backup, but if/when there is a power cut it takes a few minutes for the generators to kick in and is not instantaneous as I was thinking. I have never bought a UPS until now and don't have any experience with it - what are the things that I need to consider? I will have the following equipment running which will need to be pow...
