Two useful VC2005 add-on

2008-03-31T09:53:00.000+08:00

From Visual Studio stuff.
VSFileFinder2005 can add a file listing box and a filter text field for you to find files in solution quickly and then know where the file is located (in which project and in which directory)

VSTabs is also a good utility but it only works for VC2003. I do not find related free add-on for VC2005.

BTW, Visual Assist X - an add-in for Visual Studio by Whole Tomato Software is the best add-on I have ever used. But it is not for free.

iGoogle Bug?

2007-10-22T19:37:00.000+08:00

A simple way to make your iGoogle page blocked

1. Login to iGoogle, and select any gadget's option menu: Share this gadget.

2. Before the next page loading completely, press "Cancel" quickly.

3.Now, the darken screen remains on screen and nothing you can do. (OK. you still can reload this page)

4. If you do not do this under a max screen size window, you can resize the screen, and a interesting screen shows up. you can still click anything outside the darken screen.

m...... This bug happens just because we do not let Google to load the page done. But Google still can prevent this happens. :p

jUploadr 1.1.1 win32 installer

2006-10-15T20:55:00.000+08:00

jUploadr is written by Java, you need to install JDK(or JRE) before using it.
But the win32 version of jUploadr use a batch file to start jUploadr, the batch file require REG.exe (which is included in WinXP by default no in Win2000).

You can get reg.exe from the following links:
http://www.petri.co.il/download_free_reskit_tools.htm

In my environment (Win2000), there is still some problem in the batch file to start jUploadr. Thus, I have packaged the jUplaodr using InstallAnywhere. The installer will help you to install jUploadr and help you execute jUploadr more easily. (no more DOS command window)

jUploadr_1.1.1_setup.exe (Without JVM)

(You still need to install JDK first)

LibraryThing

My search experience:
I just forgot the Listal web site at first when my friend send me the link of Delicious Library, a collection manager software for Mac. And then I try to find out where I had seen Listal before, I lookup the blogs that I had read recently but I got nothing.
Then I try to search it in Google using keywords like "books, dvd, collection manager", but I do not see Listal at first. But I see the LibraryThing, it's a similar service. So I just search LibraryThing in Google Directory Search, I found it is belong to the category "Reference > Libraries > Library and Information Science > Software > Collection Managers", and Listal is just one of them, too.
