What's in a NAME?

It seems, either you can take College Way on your left or Husband Road on the right - depends on whether you are driving up North or down South .. (a perspective, eh!) Never thought there would be such interesting names as well.. ever heard of a Dusty Lane?

An ever bulging wallet!

Image
Lately, I have often spotted people carrying a really bloated wallet! P erhaps they have loads of cash and credit cards to spend during this festive time of the year .. however, one thing for sure that I'd suggest ( am not a professional chiropractor ) do NOT sit in the car with that *bloated* wallet in your back pocket .. too much of an asymmetrical bum balance (not sure if that's even a proper English!) Purge (if Delete is a little too strong for you) any receipts that is being sitting in their for a while... and stow away your plastics, as much as you can. I'd like to share a funny video clip from one of my all time favourite sitcoms Seinfeld - keep your wallet sleek unless you want to end up like George (as below)

Newtown tragedy - a situation WE must do everything to avert!

Horrific ! Terrible ! Gruesome ! are some of the words that comes to our mind naturally, the moment our mind wanders into what happened last Friday (December 14th 2012) at Sandy Hook Elementary School in a beautiful small town in Connecticut. I'm completely appalled! I can't imagine we are really living in the 21st century and these sort of things are happening in one of the most developed countries of the world. Loads of people across the world dream of raising their kids in developed countries foreseeing their best upbringings and nurturing global citizenship in them. Alas! with tons of freedom that some of the developed countries offer, they come with little too many liberal laws - gun control to name one of them! I'd think there certainly are some vested interest and tight lobbying around keeping guns floating around in the countries - but after what happened at Newtown, even the toughest of the tough heart would cry out to STOP this now and for ever!

Let me share the URL where I picked up Visual Studio 2012 theme editor .. thanks VS team to have done that work! http://visualstudiogallery.msdn.microsoft.com/366ad100-0003-4c9a-81a8-337d4e7ace05 I settled on the one as below for now .. Rest assured you can modify the templates that you see now as bunch of options under Environment | General | Color theme .. And if you dare to go as far as *restoring* the icons similar to VS 2010 .. here is where you should navigate to.. http://vsip.codeplex.com/

Where's my traditional menu in Visual Studio 2012?

Image
Loads of people (which I gather from the .Net community) *hates* the new all-CAPS menu that is default behaviour for Studio 2012 and I am one of them, for sure ... so this morning, I thought, there got to be something to turn it off and YES - there is a way!    Default Menu for Visual Studio 2012 Steps to change the default all-CAPS menu to your usual First-letter capital word 1. Run registry editor (regedit.exe) 2. Navigate to  HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\11.0\General 3. Add a new DWORD called  SuppressUppercaseConversion  and set its value as 1 There we have it ... Visual Studio 2012 with the menu (view) same as the previous version.
