Visual Studio 2008 SP1 Released
SP1 for Visual Studio 2008 has progressed from the Beta workbench. It is now publicly available for download from Microsoft.
Download Visual Studio 2008 SP1
If you have installed the Service Pack beta you will need to install the following Service Pack Preparation tool before installing SP1. Note: With the preparation tool you may be required to insert your original Visual Studio 2008 installation disk.
The only issue I had was while performing the preparation tool where an MSI file ‘rdbg_std.msi’ was ‘missing’. I found out that it was ‘Remote Debugger’ related, then looked for the relevant file on the Visual Studio installation disk. It was under <cd>\Remote Debugger\x86 (or x64)\rdbgsetup.exe. I had WinRAR installed so I right clicked, and extracted the file which resulted in the creation of a ‘rdbg_std.msi’. I pointed the installation to that file and all was good.
Should you have any other issues installing the Service Pack, take a look at the read me. It contains some troubleshooting material and installation details.
Google Maps visits Australia
I knew that Google Maps were ‘street-viewing’ Australia however I had no clue that it was going to be released so soon.
Google Maps has been driving around majority of Victoria, the area surrounding Brisbane, Sydney, South Australia and Perth taking 360 degree images of those locations… from street/pedestrian perspective. This raises some privacy issues however I’m not writing to discuss them now 
Show your friends a picture of their house using Google Maps; its funny to watch their reaction of suprise and awe of such a feat – some describing it as ‘scary’ or ‘just amazing’. And the world comes together, even closer, once again.
There are still patches within the blue areas which still need to be mapped however im sure it wont be long before the next ‘batch’ of pictures are released to the internet.
