Weave The People is a cute bit of technology led by a friend of mine, that helps you to get the most out of meetings by getting people to interact and think before the meeting starts.
Pragmatically it gives you a flying start on the business of your meeting; socially it gives you a chance to get to know people early. Like all things ground-breaking, it's a bit hard to categorise. Try it and see.
a mini batch file in your start menu, when you're debugging the application startup of a .Net application, and keep wanting to restart it:
taskkill /im aspnet_wp.exe /f if not errorlevel == 0 pause
or
taskkill /im w3wp.exe /f if not errorlevel == 0 pause
which does the job much faster.
Assuming, of course, that your reason for wanting to do an iis reset was to force a .Net application restart. And you don't mind forcing all running .Net applications to restart. And you're not on a busy production machine at rushhour.
Sysinternals has been taken over by Microsoft which gives a nice reassuring hue to all their nifty tools. Autoruns for Windows is the one you want to find out about processes which start up from the registry or other automatic means.
I am so impressed by CsharpRepl - Mono. It's brilliant. A command line interactive C# compiler.
See, mono is way better than visual studio 😉
