GMail Drive is a Shell Namespace Extension that creates a virtual filesystem around your Google GMail account, allowing you to use GMail as a storage medium. Ever since Google started to offer users a GMail e-mail account, which includes storage space of a 1 Gigabytes, you have had plenty of storage space but not a lot to fill it up with. With GMail Drive you can easily copy files to your GMail account and retrieve them again using Windows Explorer. When you create a new file using GMail Drive, it generates an e-mail and posts it to your account.

One of the deficiencies I have found in Visual Studio, when writing ASP.NET applications, is that it has no built-in method for uploading your project or files to a remote webserver. I write the code and test locally, but more often than not, I test directly from the webserver. I had resorted to using Dreamweaver as a code editor and using its FTP features to upload the required files. Ofcourse, I would miss out on the features that VS does have for ASP.NET….Then I found Unleash It! The latest version includes a stand-alone version, a Command Line Version (useful for scripts or processes) and a Visual Studio .NET 2003 Add-In. The Add-in allows you to right click on your project and select "Deploy it", which will FTP only the required files to the webserver. read more:...

Workaround in this good article by Alexander Zeitler. read more:...

After visiting the East Puget Sound last week, we came back in love with the area and a little more than we expected… Yup, we bought a house in Snoqualmie, about 30 minutes East of Seattle, in a community called Snoqualmie Ridge. The house won't be ready till January, giving us only three months or so to get organized. So, I am looking for an immediate, contract or full-time position in or near the Seattle/Bellevue/Redmond/Issaquah area. Let's see what...
