Reporting Services: Can’t Uninstall – The setup failed to read IIsMimeMap table. The error code is -2147024893

Ran into this error tonight trying to uninstall SQL Server Reporting Services. Not sure if it is just Vista, or XP and other OS’s as well, but the fix is to stop IIS and then re-run the Uninstall. Technorati Tags: SSRS,SQL Server Reporting Services,Uninstall,IIsMimeMap,IIS

iPhone: Google Maps Continuously Crashes

Found this out this weekend, my Google Maps was continuously crashing. I was at the hotel, and the wi-fi for the hotel had the screen where it asks you to accept the ToS, or whatever. I never accepted, but was trying Google Maps on my phone, and it kept crashing. I just had to turn [...]

Homebrew Mobile Phone?

I have been doing some thinking lately, and more about a "Homebrew Mobile Phone". I look at the iPhone and Windows Mobile Devices, and I wonder how much it would take to get all the parts needed to make a mobile phone and load some software on it. Basically I think the hardest part is [...]
