Copied here for future reference from above URL.

THNX to David Eliott master behind the Boot 132 hack which allows us to Install OSX on P.C. with the Unmodified retail version of mac OSX Leopard. The main benifit of Retail install over modified distro install is with retail install you can update your system directly from apple software updater just like an original Mac Machine.So forget about iAtkos, kalyway, Leo4all etc. & move with retail Install.
.
Requirement’s
# A PC with Intel Core Processors and Chipset (AMD is not supported).
# A retail Mac OS X DVD Installer Download Click here or Buy Click here.
# Download the Chameleon for Hard Disk here.
# Download the Boot-132 Generic ISO here.
If don’t works than download the more modified version.
# Download Boot-132 ISO with modified kexts here.
Before we starts let’s see how it works >>> you burn an Boot-132 Generic ISO (which has the bootloader on it) to a CD/DVD, after it gets to the boot prompt, you press ESC or ENTER and it prompts for a new BOOT DEVICE, you swap the BOOT CD/DVD with the LEO Retail DVD, you press enter and it shows you the name of the bootable partition from the DVD, you press enter and Leo starts to load. Some people pays money to E-FIX for this free & simple trick.The guide is divided into two phase’s first one is for Installing the OSX & second one is to elimnate the need of BootCD evry time while booting.Ready with your poison let’s start.
First of All burn Boot-132 Generic ISO into a C.D. in following tutorial term Boot-132 Generic ISO is replaced with BootCD.

Phase One >>>

1. Insert your BootCD into DVD/ROM and boot/start your PC.

2. On the boot prompt, press Enter. You will be asked to enter a two-digit hexadecimal boot device (do not press any key).

3. Remove the BootCD and replace it with the Mac OS X Retail DVD. Wait for the blinking light on your DVD drive to stop and then hit Enter (this will read your DVD drive and not your HD).

4. Perform the Mac OS X Leopard installation. You may need to use Disk Utility (under the Utilities Menu) to partition and format your HD if you haven’t already. Make sure to select GUID (under Options).

5. Restart after the installation and replace the Retail Mac OS X DVD with the BootCD.

6. On the boot prompt, press Enter. This time, enter the two-digit hexadecimal of the drive where you installed OS X. Enter 80; if it doesn’t show the startup volume of your OS X, hit Esc. Try 81, and so on until you see your OS X volume. Select it and hit Enter.

Now are in Leopard but you still won’t be able to boot your hackintosh without the BootCD. For overcome the BootCD you need to install external bootloader.

Phase two >>>

1. Open Chameleon that you download’s early.

2. Copy the contents of the Extra directory from the Generic.iso CD by drag & drop in to the Extra Contents folder in Chameleon by following this simple procedure .

Open the Generic.iso CD from your desktop. >>> Double-click on the INITRD.IMG file. >>> Double-click on the Extra folder. >>> Drag the Extensions folder to the Extra Contents folder in Chameleon

3. Double-click the Chameleon_DFE_for_Hard_Disk.pkg file and install to your hard disk.

4. Remove the BootCD and reboot.

5. You should now be able to boot into Leopard without the BootCD.

keyboard short cut to create GUID in visual studio

Here is a blog entry about how to setup keyboard short cut for creating GUID.

http://mundeep.wordpress.com/2008/03/27/quickly-generating-guids-in-visual-studio-2008/

From the post, copied for my easy reference:

1.Load Visual Studio 2008 and goto Tools -> Macros -> Macro Explorer (Alt-F8 for short)
2.Right-click on “Macros” then select New Macro Project
3.Name your project (eg. GUIDGenerator) and choose a location to save it (note no space allowed in Project Name).
4.This should give you a new project with a “Module1″ sitting underneath it. Right-click on “Module1″ and select “Rename” to give it a more meaningful name (eg. GUIDGenModule).
5.Double-click on the newly renamed module and you should be shown the Visual Studio Macro IDE.
6.Enter the following code (the “D” in ToString can be customised see Leon’s article):
◦view sourceprint?
1 Sub Create_GUID()

2 DTE.ActiveDocument.Selection.Text = System.Guid.NewGuid().ToString("D").ToUpper()

3 End Sub
7.Save and close the Macro IDE.
8.Back in the main Visual Studio window goto Tools -> Options
9.Goto the “Keyboard” option under the “Environment” tab.
10.In the “Show Commands Containing” text box type in “Create_GUID”
11.Select the Macro sub that you just created from the list (it should be the only one)
12.Click inside the “Press Shortcut Keys” textbox then press your desired keyboard shortcut for inserting a GUID (eg. Alt+G as Leon suggested makes a lot of sense).
13.Ensure the “Use Shortcut in” option is “Global” and click on “Assign”
14.Close the options window and you should be able to start using your keyboard shortcut to quickly insert GUIDs into text!
15.If you have any other Visual Studio windows open at the time you will need to close them and reload for the macro for the macro to be loaded (or you can goto the Macro Explorer window and manually load your Macro project)

creating lists in sharepoint wss 3.0, vseWss 1.3

Good information on creating lists and custom lists here:

http://blog.myitechnology.com/2009/06/how-to-create-list-templates-and-list.html

Also about the error that you may receive:

http://blog.myitechnology.com/2009/06/fixing-feature-guid-for-list-template.html

But the best way is, you create all the lists using SharePoint and then reverse engineer it using 'spshource' - some information on how to: http://www.dotnetmafia.com/blogs/dotnettipoftheday/archive/2009/05/04/my-first-experience-with-spsource.aspx

Using SolutionGenerator has following disadvantage:
> For every ListTemplate or Instance etc, it creates a separate feature. You want to have one feature for your project/site that can install everything. Creating multiple features may not be desired in many cases like this.
> The lookup fields were not maintained in the schema.xml

Remember when you add a lookup field in sharepoint, it has to be of type 'Single Line Text'. You can not use Number of Multi-line text or rich text as the Lookup field.

Kite flying festival - 14 Jan

In India Kite Flying is a big festival in Gujarat India, only behind Navratri and Diwali in terms of importance. While I dont want to make this a wiki article of Kite Flying, here are some links on it today:

http://www.dnaindia.com/india/slideshow_no-strings-attached_1333478

http://beta.thehindu.com/life-and-style/leisure/article78494.ece

But look at following one - that argues many birds are killed during this festival because they get trapped in the flying kites.
http://www.sindhtoday.net/news/1/90937.htm

Look who is talking --- why don't you think about how many chickens you are going to eat today, before asking how many birds are killed by kites - which an accident rather than cruelty to fill your hunger.

How to find public key token for a .NET DLL or assembly

Here is a nice information from following blog:

http://blogs.msdn.com/wriju/archive/2008/07/01/how-to-find-public-key-token-for-a-net-dll-or-assembly.aspx

The command is: sn.exe -T
Please notice the captial T.

I added this in the external tools to make it quick.
Go to Tools->External Tools-> Add
"Find Public Key Token"

Command = C:\Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\SDK\v2.0\Bin\sn.exe

Arguments = -T $(TargetPath)

Notice that the sn.exe is inside VS 8 - even though you may have VS 9 for 2008.
