nVidia Firewall and VMWare bridging

After some tweaking I found the settings to allow bridging (for example for VMWare or Virtual PC) on a NIC with nVidia Firewall active.
The settings in the image below should be enough to allow it to work.

How to crash Visual Studio.NET 2005

Ok, working on a VB.NET project here at work I’ve found that this code crashes the background VB.net compiler used for background syntax checks and autocomplete and simply forces you to terminate devenv.exe sooner or later.

<microsoft .VisualBasic.ComClass()> _
<system .Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(True)> _
Public Class Class1

Private m_Obj As Object

Public Property ciao() As Object
Get
Return m_Obj
End Get

<system .Runtime.InteropServices.ComVisible(False) > _
Set(ByVal value As Object)
m_Obj = value
End Set
End Property

End Class

I was lucky and the Microsoft.VisualBasic.ComClass attribute was not really needed. So I removed it. And it works.

UO On Wine

I’ve found a document I’ve lost which explained how to run Ultima Online (client) on Linux using Wine.
I have no time to test the procedure again, but I repaste the HOWTO here.

Shine on you crazy diamond

Remember when you were young, you shone like the sun.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Now there’s a look in your eyes, like black holes in the sky.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
You were caught on the crossfire of childhood and stardom,
blown on the steel breeze.
Come on you target for faraway laughter,
come on you stranger, you legend, you martyr, and shine!
You reached for the secret too soon, you cried for the moon.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Threatened by shadows at night, and exposed in the light.
Shine on you crazy diamond.
Well you wore out your welcome with random precision,
rode on the steel breeze.
Come on you raver, you seer of visions,
come on you painter, you piper, you prisoner, and shine!

Goodbye Syd.
