PowerToys for Visual Studio .NET 2003 Google Search It Here are a bunch of cool tweaks/add-ins for VS.NET.  I already mentioned the Custom Help Builder but there are others that look appealing.  The one that I am most interested in is the VSCMDShell but unfortunately that is not available quite yet.  I only hope this utility performs faster than the one Chris Sells wrote about in MSDN magazine. 8:19:03 PM   []    comment []

Adding Custom Help Topics to VS.NET Google Search It Today I came across two different links relating to the adding of custom help to VS.NET. Adding Custom Help Topics to CustomDistributedAppTemplate Custom Help Builder "This PowerToy allows you to create a custom help collection for your XML-style commented Visual Basic or Visual C# class library.  Your custom help will be fully integrated into Visual Studio .NET 2003, so your topics will be accessible from Dynamic Help, F1, Search, Help Index, and Help Contents." 8:13:05 PM   []    comment []

NEC claims fuel-cell laptop battery will last 40 hours Google Search It The battery life on these looks fantastic but I have a few concerns.  How readily can one purchase hydrogen and oxygen for this type of purpose.  I mean, unless it is for sale at every gas station I will be carrying gobs of this around with me. So when I go through airport security and they say, what is in this fuel cell container, exactly what am I supposed to tell them? Until they figure these minor details out, I will keep my T40 lithium-ion battery which can at least survive a 3+ hour plane trip. 8:08:24 PM   []    comment []
