MS Visual studio is a real memory hog. Any developer would crib about that. I just don’t want to open one instance of the IDE for each project. This cool code which you see below is a batch file which builds the solution for you and shows the result of the same.

C:
CD \Program Files\Microsoft Visual Studio 8\VC
call vcvarsall.bat
devenv C:\projects\MySolution.sln /build
pause


Safari 3 Public Beta for Windows XP/Vista and Mac is available for download

Head straight to the safari download page

The WinXP install is about 8MB

Can’t wait to try out the new browser.

Wow the competition can’t get any hotter

I was faced with a really annoying situation today. I was tempted to try Open-Source source control after a lot of VSS and TFS usage.

I tried CVS using WinCVS.

SubVersion has become famous recently and just wanted to give it a try. There’s also a pretty Windows client called TortoiseSVN Now after moving the stuff into the repository , I saw that both CVS and SVN create directories called ‘CVS’ and ‘.svn’ everywhere inside the project. Now I wanted to FTP the files to my site. But a crazy bug bit me with SVN. I saw even the damn .svn directories being moved to the site ? WTH ?

I wanted to move only the source code and not the file version information.

This blog entry came to my rescue Shell Command – Remove SVN Folders

It’s a Windows hack which adds a context menu into Windows explorer

I modified the script a bit to add CVS removal support

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\DeleteSVN]
@=”Delete SVN Folders”

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\DeleteSVN\command]
@=”cmd.exe /c \”TITLE Removing SVN Folders in %1 && COLOR 9A && FOR /r \”%1\” %%f IN (.svn) DO RD /s /q \”%%f\” \””

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\DeleteCVS]
@=”Delete CVS Folders”




[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Classes\Folder\shell\DeleteCVS\command]
@=”cmd.exe /c \”TITLE Removing CVS Folders in %1 && COLOR 9A && FOR /r \”%1\” %%f IN (CVS) DO RD /s /q \”%%f\” \”"

Don’t try these scripts unless you are damn sure what you are doing The above scripts deletes all folders named .svn and CVS in the folder inside which you call it . It will wipe off all versioning info, so better be careful

I just turned 22 today. It’s such a nice feeling to look back at the past from here.

Last year same time. I had just completed by graduation and was about to join Photon.

Now its going to be almost a year with work as well.

I must thank GOD, my dear friends and my parents for what I’m today.
