Wolfgang Gartner – Illmerica (Extended Mix)

at the last few parties we’ve ben a track was played each night. Unfortunately we didn’t tag it and it was kinda difficult to find the track. We’ve been looking for the track for over 3 weeks. we listened to everything that we could emagine to be that track. We checked out various remixes but did not find a thing.

We knew that the track sounded like Da Funk by Daft Punk.

But we couldn’t find a single track on youtube or beatport that sounds familiar to the one we heared in the clubs. We asked lots of our friends but none could help us. Last night the DJ played the track and i was lucky enough to tag it on my phone. The track was found and the surprise was huge as I realized that the track was released in october 2010 by an artist that I’ve been listening to lots of times. I realized that I know the style und was not able to link it. Wolfgang Gratner. In october 2010 he released Illmerica, the track we’ve been searching for weeks.

The track is available on beatport and in iTunes. Illmerica (Extended Mix) - Illmerica (Extended Mix) - Single

Error 0xc000000F when installing application on Windows 7

If you try to install an application you might receive an error 0xc000000F saying Windows cannot launch the application.

This happens if your Application is installed from a network Share. To solve the Problem you should copy the application to your local disc and start the installation procedure from this place. There is a HotFix by Microsoft as well. I did not test this personally but it might work as well.

The patch can be loaded here.
The corresponding KB article can be found here.

Windows Server not updating internet time

There might be a problem if you have a domain controller that is NTP server for the domain. The server might not update the time from external NTP server, even if you added an existing NTP server from the internet. There is a simple reason for that. By default windows is configured to update time from internet but there is a registry key that is not set correctly to effectively update the time from this server.

First go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters
in the key NtpServer you can set your preferred NTP server in the internet. For example pool.ntp.org

Then go to:
HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\W32Time\Parameters
find the key called Type and change it’s value to NTP

After adjusting these keys open cmd and run the following command:
net stop w32time && net start w32time

The system time should change within the next few minutes.

All that is described in a Microsoft KB article: KB816042

Sage 50 Version 2009 LiveUpdate not installing Updates

There might be a problem with LiveUpdate of Sage50. You receive a list with updates available and live update is loading the updates and installing them as well. When finished and you run live update again the same updates will show up again.
The reason for that is an update failing without giving you information. In that case there is a simple solution. You’ll have to install the updates directly without LiveUpdate.
Go to the Sage FTP server to download a collection of all updates for your product.
ftp://ftp.sagesesam.ch/KnowledgeDB/Deutsch/Sage50/Version_2009/Liveupdate/
If you need another language than German just navigate to the corresponding path on the FTP. There is a ZIP file to the latest version (for German it would be LUPSage50_CHD_9190.zip) Download the package and run the batch file included. Then all the patches are being installed one after another.
After installing you can run LiveUpdate again to check if all the updates were installed.

There is a KB article from Symantec for this specific error. It can be found here.

You could check the points mentioned in the post or just reboot your server to solve the issue.

Sony Ericsson Xperia X10 sync with Microsoft Outlook

Just in case someone wants to sync his Xperia X10 with Outlook and is wondering why it’s not working, here is the solution.

Sony Ericsson (SE) does not support sync with outlook by default. They deliver various tools. But by default you’re just able to sync your Outlook Contacts to Google and then back to your Mobile. Or If you have Push mail, you can use the preinstalled Moxier Client.

If you just want to sync your local Outlook you have to use third party software such as My Phone Explorer. You can download that application on the following Site.

http://www.fjsoft.at/en/downloads.php

You will have to enable USB debugging on your phone before it will work. You have to enable usb debugging. This can be found under
Settings > Applications > Development > USB debugging

Then you can configure the software on your computer and initialize the synchronization.

Just in Case your Mobile is not recognized by your computer, you may want to install PC Companion from SE Website. This might help.

Hope this article may halt some of you guys.
Thanks to the developer of the My Phone Explorer for this great application. The solution provided by SE is a total pain in the ass!

trash youself was fun as always
the bloody beetroots smashed everything that was before
deadmau5 was epic
pendulum almost killed me
and cyberpunkers was absolutly sick

best album 2010:
deadmau5 released his third album and brought us 4×4=12 pretty much the best album in 2010. he made a mix out of great progressive house, dubstep and some fine electro tunes. the collaborations with sofi and greta svabo bech are just some of the best tracks in 2010. but more in that later
then there was a guy that i heared of. this skrillex went on us tour with the mau5. his album which he released in fall 2010 called scary monsters and nice sprites was just awesome. filthy dubstep at it’s best.
then there was the new album of pendulum immersion was exactly the sound i like. the live gig in zurich was pretty sick.

best track 2010:
imho the best track 2010 was off the latest deadmau5 album. but i have some difficulty to decide which one is the best. raise your weapon, one trick pony, right this second or sofi needs a ladder. i’d say one trick pony was my number one.

second i’d say booka shades released regenerate drives me nuts every time i hear it.

third i’d go for skrillexs with your friends i can’t say anything more i just love this track.

best remix 2010:
the best remix 2010 was the excision & datsik remix of noisias alpha centauri

number two was the tek one remix of crystal fighters in the summer. some serious dub.

and my personal number three was the bloody beetroots remix of gooses can’t stop me now.

best mashup 2010:
the absolutely incredible and best mash up 2010 was the mashup of daft punks aerodynamics with the bloody beetroots warp 1.9 by asian trash boy. aerobeetroots is the best mashup i’ve ever heard. incredible track.

best club 2010:
my favourite clubs 2010 are were:
- exil zurich
- icon berlin
- suicide circus berlin
- golden gate berlin
- alte boerse zurich
- vanity las vegas

deadmau5 live in Zurich

This weekend deadmau5 made his first appearance in switzerland. I was fortunate enough to get a ticket for this live set. I knew that it will be a great show. But I did never expect it to be this awesome. deadmau5 brought his girlfriend and SOFI along. He played for almost 2.5 hours and gave us some of his new tracks and the classics from his past albums. Switzerland loves the mau5! Best live performance i’ve seen in 2010! Below you can find a short movie of SOFI needs a Ladder live in Zurich.
