• Jabber, Psi and MSN

  I struggled to get MSN working for behind the firewall I have to face these days. Then I came across Jabber. Jabber is a open messaging platform which can be used by applications but is great for instant messaging. There's a whole network of servers worldwide that support Jabber. There are several jabber clients that can connect you to the network. The one I use is called Psi . What makes this a nice option is that it allows you to connect to the internet via SSL, so you avoid all those funny ports...

• .NET Profiler

  I've often thought it would be cool is we can profile .NET programs in the same way as you do with SQL Server, to see what it's really trying to do. Tools like Filemon and Regmon from SysInternals go a long way towards this but is not a complete set. Now Jetbrains have release a preview of it's .NET profiler which will another tool the armoury.

• Kerio Personal Firewall

  It came as a bit of a blow that Tiny sofware no longer has a free version of their firewall. But then I discovered Kerio Personal Firewall while looking for a replacement. It seems to have taken over the Tiny engine or something because the 2 firewalls look basically the same and work the same. Kerio is a bit better though and a bit more flexable. I can really recommend it. Nice balance between of user friendly and power. Get it here [of course it's free] Share this post: email it! | bookmark it...

• .NET Object Relation mappers

  TheServerSide.Net has a list of ORM tools . Missing from their list (but posted by users in the feedback) is Gentle.NET and WilsonORMapper. I must say its quite a list ! No wonder Ted Neward calls ORM the "Vietnam" om .NET (huge amounts of work with little progress). There's 2 things I want to say about ORM: I think that a tool that generates a bunch of code is not a real ORM tool. If I wanted to generate code for data access I'd use CodeSmith and do the templates myself [In fact I've done this before...

• Cool tool - VNC

  My new PM pointed me to this tool. It's basically like terminal services. But there is an extension to the tool called Win2VNC which allows you to use one keyboard and mouse on 2 screens. Let me explain. I recently bought a notebook, so now I've got my desktop work pc and my laptop sitting next to each other on my desk. With VNC installed on both machines, I run Win2VNC on my desktop pc ( that has the keyboard and mouse connected) and tell it that my laptop screen is to the left(west) of my pc's...

• Cool tool - BlogWave

  Had a quick look at this tool, and it very nice. It's classified as an RSS “Generator“. It basically reads information from it's “adapters“, convert it to RSS and publish it to a variety of destinations. Current adapters include NNTP newsgroups, Event logs and WSS lists and document liberaries. The most impressive thing is that it can give you an RSS feed of a Google search. The resulting RSS feeds can be published to a variety of destinations such as .Text blogs, FTP, WebDAV... Posted Sep 28 2004, 07:59 AM by eduard with | with no comments Filed under: Tools
