The good folks at NDepend were kind enough to ship me a Pro license last week. Interestingly, they had offered me a license back in 2007 and I had unfortunately missed it back then (long story short, BE.NET never delivered me that email). Anyway, after all these time when contacted the guys were more than helpful to grant me a license (Thanks Patrick!). Anyway, I'm now taking baby steps in trying to harness the power of NDepend. I know I'm gonna end up addicted this app :)
I will keep you posted!

Guess what, my Broadcom Wireless Adapter just died. And having read this, I'm not going to even bother with taking this for repair. Mine has the exact same symptoms. The TabPC is still under warranty. But, I'm not putting myself through the painful experiences of the last two months again.
UPDATE (July 27, 2008):
Three months down the road with a replacement mobo, and the TX1000 is dead again. Thanks HP! I'll be looking for a Dell now..
Found this cool photo on DA... Wish I could muster up the courage to do this.

Update (July 26th, 2009)
Would you believe it?? Last year, I did get a mobo replacement from the local agent. That would be the 3rd mobo that graced the inside of my Tx. And sure enough, 1 year has gone and the Wireless adapter is dead again. For the time being, it's stil booting up. But, the machine is plauged with blue screens of death. So, it is slowly dying..
Of course, there seems to be a fix which requires opening up the laptop and doing some careful soldering. I'm not sure, I'm comfortable doing that. Maybe when it dies for good I'll talk a repairman into doing it.
Also going to join the FB group of the unlucky TX owners.

About 2 months ago, my HP TX1000 Tablet PC started to hang every now and then. It started with BSODs often sighting the nVidia display adapter as the culprit. When Vista SP1 came along, the BSODs went away. They were replaced with a sudden white screen which gradually degraded into a screen of black and white alternative vertical bars. The problem finally escalated to the point the tablet would not boot at all.
I looked all over the Internet, called HP Support but couldn't get it resolved. Finally, HP asked me to ship the TX to US (country of purchase) so they could take a look at it. Finding this to be the final solution, I was looking around for the best method to do so. HP quite helpfully told me to ship it to their nearest service depot (which is in India), so that they could take care of the shipping from there. But, in the meantime I went ahead and spoke to e-wis, the local business partner for IBM and a leading dealer for HP, Lexmark and host of other products. The good people there promised to fix it up under warranty, with no charge to me.
Well, after about a month, my beloved tablet PC back with a new motherboard and is running smoothly. I almost had lost faith on getting it fixed. But, here I am typing away on machine that I almost left for dead. :)

After weeks of photoshoping, CSharping and SQLiting, this blog is finally ready for prime time! Yeah!!!
There's a bit of frustrating history behind this design. It was initially dreamt up for my CodeOfDefiance.com site. After painstakingly constructing a Blogger template from this design, I had the bright idea of dropping Blogger and the domain and move on to BlogEngine.NET and Codoxide.com. Now, I'm thinking that the new domain should get a new design. 
Anyway, in the mean time list of all important credits:
Also, many thanks to my friends who provided feedback during the design process.
