Wooow!

I just installed the beta version of the new email organization tool Xobni (http://www.xobni.com/). This tool is incredible. It is a toolbar in Outlook and analyses all your emails in your inbox and creates statistical user profiles of each person, you are in contact with.

The toolbar looks like following:

 

Xobni also let’s you analyse your emails. Here’s an example on my daily average of my email conversations.

 

 

This tool is fantastic. I have currently one invitation left for the beta version. The first, who writes a comment with an email address will get this invitation.

 

 

 

Worried about Regular Expressions? Do you have to read manuals, every time you want to write a Regular Expression?

Fortunately, there are some helpful tools! One is http://gskinner.com/RegExr/, an online Regular Expression Testing Tool. Try it out, it is very helpful to create Regular Expressions and saves time on testing an expression.

 

 

 

Programmer’s Notepad is able to add user specific tools. For example, I added the command line tool XMLStartlet. With XMLStartlet, I can validate or format XML files:

In this example, I want to take the output of XMLStartlet and insert it to my currently opened file:

This is just one tiny example, how Programmer’s Notepad can be extended. There are plenty of other tools, which are useful in Programmer’s Notepad. Every developer can decide for himself, which one he wants to use!

 

 

 

In a previous post I mentioned the Putty Connection Manager. This tool is a wrapper, which creates a tab for each Putty instance. Today, I encountered a nice feature. With this Connection Manager it is possible, to rename the tabs. Very useful if you are debugging on several servers or on different ssh instances on a machine.

To rename a tab, just press CTRL + R or right click on the tab:

 

 

 

This is my first blog, in which I’m using Windows Live Writer. This tool, a usual windows application, let’s me to write a blog entry on a rich client.

With the spelling corrector and the easy way to embed images simplifies the way to write a blog entry. It’s even possible to paste a screenshot directly to the blog.

Let’s have a look http://windowslivewriter.spaces.live.com/

It supports Wordpress and downloads all available categories. Nice feature!

 

 

 

Putty is a simple SSH client with a simple interface. Sometimes, too simple. I use Putty a lot and have often some concurrent connections. And I really missed a tabbed interface.

Thanks for people, who have the same problems and have the time to solve the problem. Just have a look at the PuTTY Connection Manager. This tiny tool just wrapps around Putty and adds a tabbed interface.

I got into a situation, in which I had the content of a large XML file in my clipboard. Unfortunately, the whole file didn’t had any breaks, they were all printed as \r\n.

But with Programmer’s Notepad 2 there is a simple solution. In the replace dialog, just enable the option “Allow backslash expression” in the Replace dialog and replace all \r\n in the text with “real” \r\n, which appear as breaks in the text.

 

 

 

Do you need a simple, fast Text Editor, which can perform just some simple more task than the usual Notepad? Then have a look at the Programmer’s Notepad 2.

The most important feature is the tabbed interface.

Another interesting feature is the definition of tools. In Programmer’s Notepad 2, you can easily define some 3th party tools. I open usually XML files with pnotepad2, because it’s a fast editor. If I want to check the XML Schema, I just open a XML editing tool, which can perform this task.
