I have updated Brody’s page so that there is now a slide show embedded right on the page. Hit play and watch the slide show without leaving the page. Nice! If you want to see a larger version, click on the link above the slide show. That sends you to the Brody slide show on the flickr site, and should show larger images in full-screen.

What is deplorable is that once searched for, that domain name is not available if you try to use another registrar, like GoDaddy.com, to search for it.

Here’s the AP article.

Apparently some installation error was keeping me from getting the glory of the yellow ring around the “e” (that sorta sounds nasty). After some searching and trying the install over (and over again)… I finally have found the issue.

My ie7.log file (in the %windir% folder, most commonly C:\Windows\) showed some error that goes a little like this: DoInstallation: CustomizeCall Failed: 0x3f5

I was lucky enough to find a Google Groups posting that provided some insight. This funky 0x3f5 error has to do with registry permissions.

The fix? Well, since I use XP Pro… I opened a command prompt and typed this in (actually, I really just pasted it from the groups post): secedit /configure /cfg %windir%\repair\secsetup.inf /db secsetup.sdb
/verbose /areas REGKEYS
… and then hit the enter key. About 10 minutes later it was done, and I tried the IE7 installation again.

If you’re a XP Home user… you can go here to read the fix you have to do.

I now am gazing at the majestic yellow ring, and browsing the web with tabs… about time they did this. For the record… I still prefer Firefox.
