A double header post
This is my first blog post using Windows Live Writer. Setting up WLW to post to devpinoy was a great experience. All I had to do was give it the URL for my blog [http://community.devpinoy.org/blogs/velocity] and my username + password and it will try to guess the web blog provider as well as download my settings like post categories. It's got quite a few plug-ins already like "Insert code", "Insert related post".
Anyway, on to the double feature.
Thought I'd share this piece of goodness from K. Scott Allen
Sorting the Visual Studio "Add New Item" Dialog with PowerShell
This is how my "Add New Item" looked like before.
So I downloaded the script sort-vsitems.ps1. Since my execution policy is set to remote signed, I had to run my sign-file.ps1 script in order to digitally sign the script. <stop> Now that I think about, I should have taken a peek to see if the script wasn't trying to format my c:\ drive </stop> Instead of signing, you may also just "unblock" the script. Right-click on the script, click properties, then tick on the box "Unblock". Of course, you have to admit that the former was more "powershelly" than clicking through a GUI. Call it GUI withdrawal symptoms.
This is what my "Add New Item" dialog looks like now.
I tried this on Visual Studio 2005 with SP1 in Vista. *whew* And I didn't have to re-install. :-)
