Bojanv's development blog

Tech Ed is coming. This year I have the Chance ( again :) ) to attend this Event and I'm very curious about lectures, especially about web development. 

Hope, sorry, I know, it would be worth seeing.

There are 2 types of Tech Ed:

1. TechEd-Developers (for developers)
2. TechEd-Forums (too bad, that is allready sold out :( ) - for IT professionals

So, see you there.

For all slovenian attenders hope to see you at Welcome Reception and Country Drinks :)

I use IE7, but prefer Firefox. Reason for that is addins. Firefox has alot of them out there, developed by users. Mouse Gestures, Tab opening, Crash Recovery, etc. I miss that in IE7.

After reading some of my favorite blogs I stummbled upon this addin: IE7Pro. Free, easy to install, works both in IE6 and IE7. 

Features I liked:

• mouse gestures --> at first they dont look so usefull ( honestly i thought, yet another fancy unusefull stuff ), but if you set the shortcuts right, they come very handy
• Crash Recovery --> dont you hate, if some error occured when browsing (a nice message popup: Close all tabs?), and you want re-open your current pages and nothing is there?
• Add blocker -->  I know, that people are addicted from adds, but still, i prefer not to watch them, when I search for some technical stuff. Similiar to Add Block Plus
• Save an image of a web page --> very usefull tool..especially, when something goes wrong, people send screenshots..they use print screen and paint...why?
• Super Drag & Drop --> why clicking on the link, if only drag it a little and it opens in new tab..(set preferences for that)
• User scripts --> write the script, include and use it :)
  

There is also flash animations and tutorials for each of features on this link.

Great jobs, guys. Sorry Firefox, IE7 is now my primary browser. 

I was very suprised, when David writes about Google increasing account quota. I have never checked how much space was available. When I had received the mail from google (your inboy is full), I just deleted all junk files sent from my friends. But now I must see for myself, if the rumours are true.

Jup, my inbox increased for 1GB. Now I have 3168MB place to spend. You must just love Gmail.

Guess, I'm not the only one.. 

But on other hand, my other alternative offers me 5GB place. Hard to decide, which one to use....

Thnx David for finding this out. It's so great to read blogs.

I love add-ins, who helped me shorten my time to programm. Especially, if i must write stuff, that i have allready written about 5 times in same project. Well, one of this "reiteration" are comments.

I write them in interface declaration, abstract class or base class declaration, and when i implement them, i must either copy them or write them again. Waste of time, if you ask me.

So, after reading some usefull links on my one of favorite blog, i tryed GhostDoc, developed from Roland Weigelt. It has exactly what i need, even more. One of very usefull thing is import / export. Create rules, configure it one time, export settings and then just import then anywhere you use Microsoft Visual Studio .NET.

I didnt try this on Microsoft Visual Studio .NET 2003 version, but in 2005 and 2008 works just fine. Bravo Ronald, nice work.
