Today sees the launch of my company web site Rolosoft.com.

Its reason for “being” is to provide software and services that I have developed over the years.

Currently, there are 3 products available all geared towards solving common issues that companies face when developing ASP.Net web sites or applications:

• GEO IP.Net easily solves the problem of how to identify an IP location by country. The nice thing is that it works to automatically set native ASP.Net page properties Culture and UICulture. Data updates can be automated too with the “Premier” edition.
• Cookie Secure.Net encrypts cookies and protects the data inside from tampering.
• IP from HTTP.Net accurately gets an IP address from a client web browser.

There will be further product announcements shortly.

STOP: c0000139 {Entry Not Found} NtClearAllSavepointsTransaction could not be located

I have tried to apply SP1 5 times with the same result using different methods such as:-

• Disabling all start up services.
• Installing the full service pack.

Today, I received an email from a marketing agency enquiring about advertising opportunities on my website. The confusing thing was that the website domain mentioned in the email isn’t owned by me!

On further investigation (by typing the “mystery” url into a browser) and to my utter amazement, up comes my own website content! It appears that some idiot has set their domain DNS records to point to my website! The “mystery” domain in question sounds very asian smut orientated. Here is what I found by digging further:-

• The “mystery” domain has only been registered recently.
• It has already acquired the same Google Page Ranking (PR) as my own website with a 7 year old domain name!

Very annoying!
