When you’ve added a counter to a query whose instance does not exist yet, then you get an PDH_STATUS_NO_INSTANCE error (or something like it). But you still get that same error after the instance has been created; even if you remove the counter from the query and add it again. The only remedy seems to be to call PdhEnumObjects with the bRefresh flag set to TRUE, and the re-adding the counter, but that is very slow…
I went to see “The Transporter” on the weekend (mainly because it was (partly) produced by Luc Besson). Very entertaining, but not perfect… Like most action-films a bit stupid / sassy at times, but overall well worth watching…
And after having finished the project, I watched the rest (i.e. episodes 09-13) of “Haibane-Renmei” (Charcoal Feathers Federation) and they managed to pull it off very nicely! Kudos to Yoshitoshi Abe and Tokoro Tomokazu for an excellent series (which not everyone will like…) that took me by surprise. Thanks to the fan-subbers as well… ^_^
2nd CTM (Computing Techniques and Methods) done! Maybe now I can get a bit of work done on the USB-controller app…?
“Star Trek – Nemesis” is crap (IMO). It just felt like going through the motions. And it copied from all over the place:
<SPOILERS>Buggy = “Final Fantasy”
</SPOILERS>
Finished writing a (self-installing) WinNT/2K/XP Performance Monitor Extension DLL. What a pain… But now it seems to be working. 😉
I managed to finish “RahXephon”. I’m not quite sure what I think of it yet, but it is a good series (with some parallels to “Neon Genesis / Shin Seiki Evangelion”, but oddly enough they’re not the ones which seem to be most apparent at the beginning of the series). But I am not a big fan of the singing (except for Quon’s “La La?”)… ^_^
