Feed Description: Scott Hanselman's ComputerZen.com is a .NET/WebServices/XML Weblog. I offer details of obscurities (internals of ASP.NET, WebServices, XML, etc) and best practices from real world scenarios.
Well, that was a nice little spike of traffic. A few random thoughts:
Thanks to everyone for comments and author corrections for the tools on my List o' Tools.
Too bad Radio doesn't appear to support Trackback/Pingback from 'Stories' or I'd know who's linking to me.
I'll continue to update the tools list as I add more. I'll also try to categorize it one day.
Note that I only keep favorite tools - no cruft, no crap. This isn't a list of "all tools" or "favorite tools" but rather "things that make my life better"
Some folks commented that it was mostly Windows and .NET stuff. True, true. That's where I live now, but some tools/utils I didn't include were Grep for Windows and Cygwin and Visual Studio Power Toys, etc, as I didn't think they qualified as simple little utils, although maybe they do.
I didn't include a utilities that are internal (either Corillian-internal or Microsoft-internal) although I wish I could. There's some amazing stuff out there.
Now only if my list could get Scobleized by Robert's 18 readers...
As I sit here and look at my Start Menu, that fills my 1600x1200 screen and runs off the right edge, I see at least 40 other great utils that AREN'T in C:/UTILS that I missed. I'll add them one day.
