Ebuyer Hard Drive Hard Plastic IDE Caddy With 2 Fan + Lock

Ebuyer Hard Drive Hard Plastic IDE Caddy With 2 Fan + Lock

I would rate this as one of my best ever purchases. I am sick and tired of my machines going down and when they do... i have to go through the nightmare of swapping hard drives to get the data.. This has just made my life so bloody easy.

All i have to do is switch the pc off and pull the caddy out and shove it in the second pc... and off it goes... i have access to my files... couldn't be easier (well it can... but i would need hot swap functionality)... for 3 and half quid..... i can live without it for now.... 5 star ratings from me

The Code Project - Smart Alarm using OpenNetCF and C# for SmartPhone (Windows Mobile 2003) - .NET Compact Framework

The Code Project - Smart Alarm using OpenNetCF and C# for SmartPhone (Windows Mobile 2003) - .NET Compact Framework.

The folks are code project just moved my arcticles from un-edited user submissions to .net >> .net CF >> Applications section after editing it.

In 3 days and 960+ hits i think it its not too bad (though it could just be the title). Would love for more feedback though i only had one comment (OpenNetCF not OpenCFNet) and one rating 4 of 5.... C'mon people...

Invoke IT Limited

I just registered my first company using @UK PLC. I first looked up Invoke and Construct and Initialise etc but not much left. So thought what about Invoke IT Limited (IT or It)... after all the first business is going to be in computers..... having thought of that i checked it up and it was available.. so far thinking about it for a day i finally registered the Company Name and i also managed to book the uk domain name invokeit.co.uk

Keep your fingers crossed

The Code Project - Smart Alarm using OpenCFNet and C# for Smartphone (Windows Mobile 2003) - .NET Compact Framework

My second article on The CodeProject The Code Project - Smart Alarm using OpenNetCF and C# for Smartphone (Windows Mobile 2003) - .NET Compact Framework

Smartphone Screen Capture !!!!

I just finished my first Smartphone Application... guess what i wrote... well i wrote a smart alarm application, that allows me to create multiple alarms.
Anyways i wanted to post the code on CodeProject and needed screen shots... look up the next and Mikehall's Embedded WebLog : Smartphone Screen Capture ? contained a link to SmartSS. Downloaded it and installed the cab file in the phone and started the app. Taking screen shots couldn't be simpler. Once app is running in background and you want to capture the screen press * key and it captures the screen and copies the bmp in /Storage/My Documents folder

Almost a Brit now!!! lol

Yesterday i officially became a permanent resident in the UK. Immediate
advantages:


  • i can get married without requiring permission to get married from
    homeoffice
  • i don't require a work permit any more
  • i can start my own business

I am very glad that it happened as it not happening would have almost ruined
my plans of getting married in 2 months time. For 3 hours in all and about 500
quid, glad its over.
