I’ve been very busy since yesterday. Windows Vista Ultimate is installed now, and finally I can see Aero in action in maximum performance J. It’s a machine with 12″ monitor, Intel Core 2 Duo T5500, 2 GB RAM, and 160 GB Hard disk. I often work with many virtual machines in parallel so the 2 GB memory seems reasonable. Actually I want to touch down on 4 GB RAM, but It was beyond my pocket. I’m still dreaming to make it to 4 GB RAM someday.

Many friends were laughing at me because I choose the small LCD instead of 15.4″. The reasons are clear. I tend to bring the notebook wherever I go, and I’m a big fan of hang out with laptop at coffee shop or library. That’s why the machine with less than 2 Kg in weight is a must . I love this machine: small, portable, good performance.

Here is the screen shoot when 2 instances of Windows Server 2003 VPC are running:

Finally I made it. After struggling with many different things during past 2 months, scattered from developing custom courseware for SharePoint 2007 developer, custom adapter for Biztalk Server 2006, or even custom ribbon for Office 2007 .

All of those things are quite interesting and blow up my adrenaline. But to be frankly, it made my ASP.NET skills a little obsolete. I need to catch up again with alot of new things on the future web area: Silverlight, Orcas, Popfly. They are waiting to be explored.

Back to my writing, this is the 4th tutorial I made for ASP.NET 2.0. I wrote those labs manual based on several existing materials as the referrence. I went to MSDN website, digging my Teched 2006 DVD, and sometimes build my own sample code. This installment is about playing with web site navigation and do security trimming on it. It is a continuation of my previous writings about security control in ASP.NET.
