Tidy Up Windows Files and Folder

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

So I noticed my harddrive is getting pretty full and I wanted to move some of the larger files off to a usb harddrive.

First though, I need to figure out which files are taking up the most space and where abouts they are on my harddrive.

There is a really cool application call WinDirStat which scans your harddrive and calculates the sizes for all the folders and identifies where the largest files are.

If you need a similar tool take a look. Link below.

Hope it helps.

No Blog Updates for some time… There is a reason.

Thursday, July 15th, 2010

There has been no updates on this for some time, but there are many good reasons why.

In the time of my last blog, Tash and I have moved home, and that not only takes up alot of our time, but induces lots of stress. So the blog seemed to take a back seat.

Not only that but I have always been wondering how I can best use this blogging software. What I do not want to do is be like write lots of content and tutorials for people. There are way to many out there, and most of them do a far better job than I ever would.

How I see myself using this blog is really to just write down my day to day findings. There is so much stuff I find out everybody which I just cant retain in my head, so I think the best way for me to document this would be here.

This “knowledge capturing” blog could be anything from the Lillie Beatles I have found on the littlies in my back garden and how to rid the Lillies of them to how I can implement a custom Members/Role/Profile provider in .NET.

So without further a do, I will start to blog more frequantly now just to simply my day-to-day findings.

Recently work actually involved publishing of my girlfriends website. You can check it out at www.natashabuchanan.co.uk. There may be more to come on this shortly.

Blog Now Linked to Twitter

Tuesday, February 2nd, 2010

As previously mentioned I linked my blog to my LinkedIn account, and decided to take it to the next stage which is linking this blog to my Twitter account. Which in turn is also linked to my Facebook profile. This is getting complicated.

I’m hoping to achive integration across the various social networking sites but may look at removing such integration to Facebook as I am still not sure whether I want t bombared my profile on there with the ramblings I have here.

Monday, February 1st, 2010

Just updated my LinkedIn account to show all posts from here that are tagged with “linkedin”.

This ensures any information I want to be displayed on LinkedIn can be done so very easily.
