Probably the quickest way to paste in XP command window is to hold down the ALT key, and hit the spacebar followed by E and P. So, for paste, it's ALT+Space, E, P (E for edit menu, P for paste command). If you do it enough number of times it'll become your second nature.In a command prompt, the mouse right click isn't always the quickest, not for me at least.

When I received my brand new Dell XPS M1530, it evoked certain feelings which people generally reserve for their new born kids. To say I was ecstatic would be an understatement. It fired on all cylinders. It has a ridiculously good design from Dell and a non-integrated graphics card despite being sub six pounds ultra light. It has a TFT display with True Life® and a biometric finger print

Yet another awesome track from one of my all-time favorite bands.

I spoke to Robert few days back. He is PUM in Microsoft. It was a one on one meeting. Below are some learnings I had picked from that meeting.1. Strive for simplistic design. Don't over engineer things.2. Go through your Career Specific profiles. Go through each bullet. Do an honest self assessment and see where you are lacking.3. Develop your communication skills. As a developer you have a huge

People coming in from native background (I mean those who have been using GDB extensively) might get perplexed by the fact that they can't watch a variable in .NET. Reason being, when you ask the debugger to watch a particular variable or object (to let you know when a particular value is accessed or modified) you are basically asking the debugger to watch a physical address. And the fact that

One thing I hate about IE is its "Find in page" utility. Half of the time, I am either moving the search box or locating the highlighted result. And to top it up, the search is not incremental either. This in itself can be a reason for me to not to use IE.Solution:Inline search with IE : Quick download, easy to use, mimics Gvim's and Firefox's search to some extent and highly effective. In short

While I mostly use Gvim, I'm sometimes forced to use Visual Studio in two situations: 1. When I have to debug something; Visual Studio has an excellent debugger.2. When one of my team members require my help.The second reason is more important because I don't want to look clumsy while helping them out.I have found the Visual Studio equivalents for some of my core gvim commands and they are:

Being a huge fan of Jal, I can't restrain myself from posting this video here. One of the few songs which you can never get bored of.

No matter how many people Microsoft puts in, there can't be enough to keep MSDN in shape. That is the rate at which technology is evolving. Personally, I think it is a right move by Microsoft to make MSDN Wiki based and I am very excited about it. This project has a huge potential.You can visit it by clicking over here

Recently, I had to create a Windows Vista Sidebar Gadget which pulls out data from a database locally installed on the machine and displays it to the user in a eye-catching manner.Being new to the .Net and given that my past projects had more or less revolved around UNIX and C, I had to do a lot of research. Although there was a lot of information available on the internet on how to develop a
