I’ve been busy with coding the past few days. I’ve successfully completed my Microsoft Partnership admission and received a subscription to their developer network. Now I’ve access to all the developer tools an operating systems you can dream of. My coding project has to do with a project I started a few years ago, I’ve written a little cool tool called the Virtual Machine MKS Client. Eventually it ended up in some sort of a contest with Bouke Groenescheij and Richard Garsthagen when Bouke and I did a freelance job at Ahrend, we had some real fun and long channel walks. Since the training business is a bit sloppy this month I’m trying to revive the tool and make it vSphere compatible. I started with converting it to Visual Studio 2008 and had to rebuild some DLL’s. I endured some real challenges with VMware’s new activeX (VNC) object but finally I got it to work. Here’s a Jing movie with a sneak preview, it will take at least another week to make the beta publicly available.
