I had to upgrade a server today from Win 2003 to Win 2003 R2, this should be a simple task however as with much IT this proved a no go 🙁
—————————
Windows Server 2003 R2 Setup Wizard
—————————
Setup cannot continue because this product disc is incompatible with the
service pack installed on this computer. To complete the installation
of Windows Server 2003 R2, you will need to insert the latest version of
Windows Server 2003 R2 Disc 2.
—————————
OK
—————————
A quick google search however led me to;
http://blog.stealthpuppy.com/windows/windows-2003-r2-and-integrated-service-pack-2
where it was explained that a Windows 2003 Slipstreamed SP2 installation could cause problems with subsequent R2 installation, the solution is simple just modify the file “R2INTL.INF” in the \CMPNENTS\R2 directory like this;
change;
R2SPLevel = 1
to:
R2SPLevel = 2
and the installation will work without a problem. Easy as pie (when you know what to do that is ;-))…
Long ago I wrote about www.jingproject.com (a free and cool screen capture software), but recently I was made aware of a “competitive” product called PicPick which is equally free and cool.
Compared the two products offer some advantages over each other;
Jing: Upload directly to screencast, video capture possibility and also a layered approach (when adding text and arrows onto captures).
PicPick: Lots of different capture modes (eg. freehand) and a build-in graphics editor in which you will work with your capture (ala Paint from windows).
Both:Hotkey support (pipick even separate hotkeys for the different capture modes), option to add both text and arrows to the capture to underline your point.
Which is better is hard to say – I guess it depends on what kind of captures you do the most.. A merge of the two products would be ever so cool 🙂
I think PicPick offer some great options when talking capture modes and also the build in editor is nice, it is however annoying that the editing is not layered (if you add an arrow it is added into the graphics and cant thus be changed later as opposed to Jing). Maybe you will just have to have both 😉

Adobe is making the next version of their “Content Aware Fill” feature in Photoshop even more intelligent, this will allow you to edit out even complex structures from pictures and this without advanced knowledge of photo editing.
See the video for a demonstration, it is quite amazing.
