Insert Youtube Videos in your blog with FullScreen capability

by rahul 1/26/2012 9:44:54 PM
If you like inserting Youtube videos in your blog posts, you might be already aware of Insert Video plugin. This plug-in is great. One shortcoming of this plugin is that when you insert videos using this plugin, the video cannot be run in Full Screen mode. Resizing has its own hassles with this way of embedding. Take a look at the following using the Insert Video plugin. Since this did not suffice my needs, I have created another plugin for Youtube which you can download now. Once you h... [More]

PowerShell Script to disable or enable services that consume resource on Windows 7 with SharePoint 2010 installed

by rahul 9/15/2010 9:14:58 PM
This is small follow-up post for SharePoint 2010 - Setup your development environment for Windows 7. The reason was Pedro's reply to the post who pointed that if you are indeed using your Windows 7 desktop for SharePoint 2010 development, the performance will not be up to the mark for general day to day purposes. I totally agree to this point, and I just hate when I see a service like IIS or SQL Server consuming my RAM for no reason [while I am not doing any SharePoint development]. Here is wh... [More]

SQL Database files and Disk Drive Space Reporting Tool

by rahul 11/19/2009 12:55:03 PM
Not everyone will need this tool, but in case you have a Microsoft SQL Database Server and a lot of disk drives/SAN, you may choose to read on. Let’s assume you are a Database Administrator, and you have a lot of Disk Drives, and you have SQL Databases residing on quite a few of them. You know that a database file increases in size based on a specific setting and it is called, AutoGrow. Some of you would have it as x%, some x MB and some will have it set to different settings for different file... [More]

Smileys plugin for Windows Live Writer - Update

by rahul 6/17/2009 11:56:19 AM
This has been one of the really famous plug-ins that I wrote a while ago (more than 11K downloads as of 17th June, 2009). The intent was to use smileys in my posts easily from the blogging tool itself. Since I used Microsoft - Windows Live Writer (which IMHO, is the best blog editor currently) I was quite easily attracted by the plug-in model it exposed. Later on, I created more plug-ins which pretty much uses the same code base, called Fancy Bullets plug-in, and Quotations plug-in. I don’t w... [More]

Fancy Bullets plugin for Windows Live Writer - Update

by rahul 2/25/2009 2:03:05 PM
For quite some time there were a couple of bugs reported, and I was not able to fix them until today. First one was a nasty one. Quite a lot of folks reported that the plug-in didn’t work directly. They had to run the Windows Live Writer as Administrator to make the plugin work fine. I have been pretty busy of late, but finally… I have fixed it. 2nd one was reported by lawvol here. I have fixed that too! Thanks Lawvol for letting me know. Please uninstall the existing version from control pan... [More]

Playlist copier - Copy your mp3 to a folder from m3u playlist

by rahul 1/11/2009 10:55:33 AM
Requirement > You have a lot of play lists (m3u) and you want to burn all the songs in any play list to some media of your choice (CD, DVD, USB, etc). How do you do it currently? Well, I used to take a look at the file information and copy the files one by one manually. Recently, I wanted to burn a CD for my car audio, and had some 200 odd songs in my play list. It would have taken a long time for me, so I thought of spending a few minutes in writing this piece of code. My Solution >>&g... [More]
