Build View is a Visual Studio 2008 Add In which will show the progress of the build using the new Windows 7 progressbar.

Unfortunately Visual Studio does not have an option to retrieve the progress of the build. Build View chooses the most approximate build time based on previous builds of the project and then shows the progressbar. Which means after 2/3 builds, progress bar will start displaying the animation effectively.
Download the installer and sourcode here.

K-MUG conducted another successful Microsoft Community Tech days on 30th January 2010. We had some wonderful sessions about Silverlight, MVC,SQL server etc. Even though the participation was less compared the CTD in Trivandrum we had very good interaction from the audience.
I took a session about “Programming for Windows 7″ and talked about Windows API code pack. Here is the link to my ppt.

As previously Tweeted(?) by me TweetMyPC verision 3 is under development and will be released soon.

I thought it will be a good idea to post the change log here for feedback and suggestions. I must thank Stefan for his huge interest in TweetMyPC. The entire credit goes to him for helping me.
- You can now choose any file you want for the custom-command (for example *.exe,*.bat,*.mp3,*.vbs,*.pps,…)
- TweetMyPC is now faster and better
- We made changes to overcome the problem of “Whoops. You already said that… please post a new tweet” (see http://help.twitter.com/forums/10713/entries/68809)
If you want to send the same command a more than once in a short time period, just add ## and a random text behind it. Example: “ip ##ubiuhgiu ohzf“
- New commands
- ping - to know whether TweetMyPC is running or not
- message [your message text without brackets] – to show a custom message at the pc-screen
- powerstate -tweets the battery-state (Charging or not and if power-cable is plugged in)
- abortshutdown - stops a shutdown
- startscr - starts the screen-saver (windows 2000/XP)
- stopscr - stops a screen-saver
- darkscreen - Turns off the monitor
- Wallpaper [url] – You can change the wallpaper by tweeting this command along with the wallpaper url. You will not miss those cool wallpapers you accidentally come across while browsing somewhere else
.
- Changed/fixed commands:
- ip - now answers the Network’s internal and the external ip address
- screenshot - now makes a screenshot of all Displays together instead of just the first Screen
- TweetMypPC now works on Windows XP, Server 2003/2008, Vista and Windows 7.
- Added support for x64 (64-bit) environments
- You don’t need Admin privileges to run TweetMyPC
- Simplified the user interface
- You now can see the status of TweetMyPC if you move your mouse cursor over the notify-icon in the Taskbar.
- Fixed few bugs
We would like to hear your suggestions and comments. Do you have any cool commands to be added? Let us know!
Don’t forget to give us your feedback here.

We want to know yours. How did you use the .NET Framework to create a killer app? What parts of the .NET Framework (ASP.NET, ADO.NET, WPF, WCF, WF, etc.) did you use to develop it? What other Microsoft products (SharePoint, SQL Server, Windows Server, etc.) were used in the solution? What challenge did you solve? How did you integrate your solution with other solutions and systems?

Sometime back I wrote a post about Are Indian Software Developers “Code Donkeys”? . Soon after writing this post I became more active in stackoverflow and started seeing lot of “worst” questions. Almost 80% of the questions are from Indian Developers. This made me think “Are Indian Software Engineers really Code Donkeys?” Don’t believe me? Check out the below questions
1. Give real life examples of Queues?
Answer :
2. I need a free php-ajax enabled contact us form script and mail should come in gmail inbox not spam folder?
I need not tell you why this question is stupid.
3. How can I assign the same IP address to 2 computers on the same network?
Same IP to two computers? That breaks the reason for us to use IP address. I seriously think he should not be coding if don’t know the basics?
4. give the source code in c graphics to show circuit and functions of tri state logic
For your information we don’t sell code in stackoverflow.
5. Browser compatibility problem
And the question goes like this
hi i created a web page , in that the menus are proper in Google chrome and in Mozila Firefox, What should i do for recovering ..
Recovering what? If both works fine then whats the issue? What menu? What programming language? What is the error?
6. what is meant by cloud computing? give some examples
Never heard about Google or Bing?
7. Can someone send me the JAVA LDAP code to connect and to search/modify in a directory server
Stackoverflow is for learning new things and coding better and not for exchanging code.
8. I need finishing my ocaml assignment.
We are not here to do your homework.
Not enough? Just check out more here : http://stackoverflow.com/questions?page=7627&sort=votes . Look for Indian Names.
