Meeting Cost Calculator
Have you ever been in one of those meetings where it seems that everyone in the company is there, even though they don’t need to be? I think everyone has and it is especially frustrating when you are one of the ones that doesn’t really need to be there...
Twikini – Windows Mobile Twitter Client
I have an HTC Windows Mobile phone (touch screen + keyboard).  For the last several weeks, I’ve been using a trial version of Twikini to access my Twitter stream . I really got to like it.  There are a few things I’d like improved.  For...
Testing PreCode
I'm using this post to test PreCode -- a code snippet formatting plugin for Windows Live Writer.  It uses SyntaxHighlighter on the client side and this plugin just sends the needed code to my blog engine. As a test I thought I'd just add...
TimeSnapper
I've been using the free version of TimeSnapper off and on for some time now, but pretty regularly over the last few weeks since I started my new job.  I'm doing billable work again, and am notoriously bad at getting my time entered. ...
VS2008 DVDs From InstallFest
If you attended a VS2008 InstallFest in the last couple months and registered your trial copy of VS2008, you have probably received the final media in the mail in the last day or two (or probably will in the next day or two).  Someone sent me a note...
New Tool: Folder Finder
I'm on a roll here with the little utilities... My dad called the other day as he was leaving his office (in California). Due to the nature of his business and the way their network is setup, he and his team work with a large number of folders on...
New Tool: App Dashboard
Many times I find myself with way too many files, folders and shortcuts on the desktop for things that I am currently working on and/or testing. That's in addition, of course, to the things I have on the desktop because I use them all the time. Because...
Database Publishing Wizard
I don't think I've written about this tool yet, but it's one of my favorites. Microsoft has release (on Codeplex ) a SQL Server Hosting Toolkit (it's free). The entire toolkit is, I'm sure, full of goodness, but there is one part in...
I Really Like Windows Live Writer
I downloaded the latest beta of Windows Live Writer* a couple days ago and have finally gotten around to making a post with it. I didn't have any real issues with the previous version, although there were a couple things I would have liked changed...
New Version of Cropper Released
Brian Scott released a new version of Cropper a couple days ago. I missed the announcement due to RSS reader issues, but I was fortunate enough to get to poke around with it in advance for a couple days. It's been about a year since the last release...
Update #2: More IE Stuff
Early this year I posted a ZIP of stuff for IE context menus. I just wrote and added another menu item for checking or unchecking any checkboxes in the current text selection. The file is attached to this post. Download and use at your own risk. See readme...
Update: Image Converter
A couple weeks ago, I posted a " slightly useful piece of software " which could be used to convert a bunch of BMP files to JPG. We'll I just updated it to allow you to select the source and destination file types. I've replaced the...
Newsletter Sender
OK, so that's a really lame name for a program, but I named it so I wouldn't forget what it was. I could have called it PhireFaacs, but really, do you think I would know what that was in two weeks? Forget for a moment how much ridicule I would...
Cropper and TinyPic
By now you may have heard about Cropper by Brian Scott (I've even mentioned it before ). It's a nifty screen capture utility that I originally found linked from Scott Hanselman's Ultimate Tools list . I've used it a few times, and it's...
Code Generator 1.1
If you've read the blog for a while, you might have seen my previous posts about a code generator I wrote . As I've used it for a couple months, I've decided that I have a lot ( LOT ) of changes I want to make to it. I'm not quite a genius...
