Closer look at the Office 2003
Well I’ve just got my hands on the Beta 2 Kit and I must say “I’m impressed!”. The kit contains a whopping 18 cd’s, with 15 of them being acutal apps and the last 3 demo, evaluation and developer cd’s.
So far I haven’t installed anything yet – since I’m not home, but I plan to do it as soon as I get home
I’ve been watching some of the demo videos and presentations included on the cd’s, and so far InfoPath strikes me as the cooler app. I’m very must looking forward to checking it out!

A new computer?
After reading this entry in Don Box’ Spoutlet, I just had to read up on the P4 HyperThreaded (HT) CPU. And after doing that I must admit that that is definitely the CPU that’ll be the base for my next system!
The CPU roughly explained is designed so that it appears as if there are two logical processors in the machine, and therefore the system can simultaneously execute two threads thereby performing better.
I looked at a P4 HT running at 3.06 GHz with an Asus motherboard and 512 MB DDR SDRAM, and from what I can estimate the price tag for that will be 8100 Danish Kroner, which is quite a large amount given that there is no GFX card or anything in.
But hey new shit is expensive
As I side note I’ve handed in the .NET service I’ve been codin’ for Work. It’s a Windows Service that when activated via a timer checks if new Word or Excel documents have arrived in a software system that we sell, and if there are it automatically converts them to various formats. From what I know it works as it’s supposed to, but I guess I’ll find out after Work has tested it extensively ![]()
Now I beginning to expand the service to handle sending of e-mail in a batch job from the same system.
By the way Windows Server 2003 was marked as RTM (Release To Manufacturing) today!
I’m still waiting for my Office 2003 Beta 2 Kit, but it should arrive in a couple of days. I’m especially looking forward to trying out InfoPath the new XML app.

Nothing much to say
Guess I’ll just write a little piece here.
My exams went okay, at least I don’t have do attend any reexam. That’s nice!
Since I’ve started a new semester I’ve also gotten in a new group. The project we’re gonna make this semester is constructing a language that can be used for simulating peoples movemet in an urban environment, and spitting out lots of data that can be used for data mining using Business Intelligence.
It’s okay pretty exciting, although my main interest is in learning how you construct a language, write a compiler, etc.
Mid March I’m going to Cebit with a friend of mine. That’s gonna be great! I’m already looking forward to seeing what must be the biggest IT and Computer fair in the world.
‘Till next time
