Hosting

I am  trying to decide whether to go for a shared windows hosting and host my blog through dasBlog or go for a cheaper linux hosting on php and WordPress. My good side says…" go for windows hosting and use dasBlog " my evil side says… "go for *nux hosting and use WordPress". But you know.. I am going to stick around with msn spaces.

You would think that msn would have their hosting service. Yahoo has and its brilliant. The spendthrift that I am, I have my domain (rajivmenon.net)registered for $2/yr for 5 yrs at Yahoo Domains and point it to this spaces which is http://msnspaces.com/menonr. And have a email address too at hotmail using Live Domains

The only fear I have right now is that if I’ll get stuck here without a better option to import these posts from msn spaces.

Winamp

I have tried almost all of the mp3 players (including WMP, Itunes, Songbird, foobar2000), but I keep coming back to winamp, simple, fast and I love the global hotkeys.
All I need is Winamp Lite, Enhancer, and RepeatOne

…..and then I went back to sleep.

Intellisense for NAnt, NAntContrib, VaultTasks

This is cool (via:Mihir) .

 

Place all assemblies required for NAntContrib and VaultTasks  into bin of NAnt

 

1. Use this build script in NAnt bin and build 

<?

xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>

<

project name="GenerateNAntSchemaForVS.NET" default="genschema">

<property name="SchemaFile" value="NAnt.xsd"/>

<target name="genschema">

<nantschema output="${SchemaFile}" target-ns="http://someuri"/&gt;

</target>

</

project>

 

2. Copy/Move the NAnt.xsd file in bin to C:Program FilesMicrosoft Visual Studio .NET 2003Common7Packagesschemasxml

 

3. When you create build file in VS.net ensure you specify xmlns in <project> .

Eg:

<project name="myProject" xmlns="http://someuri&quot; >

 

 And Voila! you have intellisense for all tasks including NAntContrib and VaultTasks

 

 What we are using is the beautiful nantschema task.
