Description

This small silverlight twitter widget can be placed on your blog, with the help of some HTML + CSS and javascript. It shows all your recent tweets, which are changed periodically.

A blog post about development will soon follow on Coffee Cup, in which I’ll show how to overcome cross domain call restrictions by using yahoo pipes as proxy and using LINQ-to-XML (explained in a quite good way on Scott Gu’s blog).

I made it for my ever changing site design (evolving) to prevent DRY (Don’t – Repeat – yourself). All it does is that it provides a standard search box customisable by changing CSS style sheet and provides site specific search by google or bing. All you need to do is call it from a div element.

This a small C++ coding project, I used to beat everyone in the facebook game of typing A to Z. I used it to emulate typing A to Z in 1 sec. It creates a hook to wait for fist key pressed, afterwards it types rest of keys upto Z on itself.

You will find it useful in writing pranks too.

Description

I found this thing quiet useful back in college days.

Do you like sharing stuff with others, helping others. Giving books other to let them read all those good things you learned recently from a good book. If you have large book collection and want to manage them “digitally” then BookStore can help you. It lets you make a list of your books on the run, lets you lend books for a specific time to your friend and it will automatically show books you lend to your friends with yellow background. On “Issued” tabs, it will highlight in red those books you gave having return deadline over.

It also has a notifier that will tell you number of books not returned after return date.
