What's 1 - 1?

1.0 - 1.0 = 0, right?

1. 0 - 0.9- 0.1  still equals 0, correct?

well, don't trust your google calculator too much.

I also tried it with MSN search, and appearantly, they give the same answer.

Finishing 2005 like Tyler Durden, Ikea style...

To wrap off 2005, I converted my whole bedroom to Ikea, my bedroom now consists of 95% Ikea products from Ikea carpets to Ikea everything else.  And it looks something like this:

  (No, this is not my bed room)

It costed roughly $80 at the city dump @ 88.90/ton to unload my old bedroom stuff. 

I have to admit, assembling Ikea furniture was fun and addicting, and it makes me want to buy more Ikea products for the other parts of my house. 

I am thinking of learning to make my own soap next.  </evil> 

Error signing into MSN Messenger

I installed the latest messenger 7.5 version and had trouble signing in since.  I did a quick google search and found this article Messenger help

ended up, I had more Passport devopment scraps from the last project.  I had to delete my Passport Identity Client Run-time Library (IDCRL) dll, which probably was pointing at Passport INT, (the Passport MS internal sign-in server).  I am guessing the latest Messenger had finally upgraded to use IDCRL sign in instead of their custom gateway protocol that they had in the previous versions 

everything worked fine after I cleared out the contents from my

%appdata%\microsoft\identitycrl\*.*
%allusersprofile%\application data\microsoft\identitycrl\*.*

+1 for Passport
