			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>PowerCommands adds some great functionality to Visual Studio 2008 &#8211; I strongly recommend you install this. Navigate to <a href="http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/PowerCommands" title="PowerCommands" target="_blank">http://code.msdn.microsoft.com/PowerCommands</a> and click on the Releases tab to download. The Collapse Projects command is worth the download alone!</p>
<p>As a Readify colleague pointed out it&#8217;s very similar in functionality to CoolCommands for Visual Studio 2005 (<a href="http://geekswithblogs.net/brians/archive/2007/03/04/107922.aspx" title="CoolCommands" target="_blank">http://geekswithblogs.net/brians/archive/2007/03/04/107922.aspx</a>).</p>
<p><b>PowerCommands Feature List</b></p>
<p>(This is ripped from the PowerCommands MSDN site)</p>
<p><b>Collapse Projects</b><br />
This command collapses a project or projects in the  Solution Explorer starting from the root selected node. Collapsing a project can  increase the readability of the solution. This command can be executed from  three different places: solution, solution folders and project nodes  respectively.</p>
<p><b>Copy Class</b><br />
This command copies a selected class  entire content to the clipboard, renaming the class. This command is normally  followed by a Paste Class command, which renames the class to avoid a  compilation error. It can be executed from a single project item or a project  item with dependent sub items.</p>
<p><b>Paste Class</b><br />
This command pastes  a class entire content from the clipboard, renaming the class to avoid a  compilation error. This command is normally preceded by a Copy Class command. It  can be executed from a project or folder node.</p>
<p><b>Copy  References</b><br />
This command copies a reference or set of references to the  clipboard. It can be executed from the references node, a single reference node  or set of reference nodes.</p>
<p><b>Paste References</b><br />
This command pastes  a reference or set of references from the clipboard. It can be executed from  different places depending on the type of project. For CSharp projects it can be  executed from the references node. For Visual Basic and Website projects it can  be executed from the project node.</p>
<p><b>Copy As Project  Reference</b><br />
This command copies a project as a project reference to the  clipboard. It can be executed from a project node.</p>
<p><b>Edit Project  File</b><br />
This command opens the MSBuild project file for a selected project  inside Visual Studio. It combines the existing Unload Project and Edit Project  commands.</p>
<p><b>Open Containing Folder</b><br />
This command opens a Windows  Explorer window pointing to the physical path of a selected item. It can be  executed from a project item node</p>
<p><b>Open Command Prompt</b><br />
This  command opens a Visual Studio command prompt pointing to the physical path of a  selected item. It can be executed from four different places: solution, project,  folder and project item nodes respectively.</p>
<p><b>Unload  Projects</b><br />
This command unloads all projects in a solution. This can be  useful in MSBuild scenarios when multiple projects are being edited. This  command can be executed from the solution node.</p>
<p><b>Reload  Projects</b><br />
This command reloads all unloaded projects in a solution. It can  be executed from the solution node.</p>
<p><b>Remove and Sort  Usings</b><br />
This command removes and sort using statements for all classes  given a project. It is useful, for example, in removing or organizing the using  statements generated by a wizard. This command can be executed from a solution  node or a single project node.<br />
Note: The Remove and Sort Usings feature is  only available for C# projects since the C# editor implements this feature as a  command in the C# editor (which this command calls for each .cs file in the  project).</p>
<p><b>Extract Constant</b><br />
This command creates a constant  definition statement for a selected text. Extracting a constant effectively  names a literal value, which can improve readability. This command can be  executed from the code editor by right-clicking selected text.</p>
<p><b>Clear  Recent File List</b><br />
This command clears the Visual Studio recent file list.  The Clear Recent File List command brings up a Clear File dialog which allows  any or all recent files to be selected.</p>
<p><b>Clear Recent Project  List</b><br />
This command clears the Visual Studio recent project list. The Clear  Recent Project List command brings up a Clear File dialog which allows any or  all recent projects to be selected.</p>
<p><b>Transform Templates</b><br />
This  command executes a custom tool with associated text templates items. It can be  executed from a DSL project node or a DSL folder node.</p>
<p><b>Close  All</b><br />
This command closes all documents. It can be executed from a document  tab.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>As part of my MVC PD this week I&#8217;m creating a real website that does real things.</p>
<p>This website is called CodeJAK and I hope to have it go live soon.</p>
<p>Here is the initial design &#8220;<a href="http://jakkaj.wordpress.com/2008/01/03/codejak-designs/codejak-design-by-alex-knight/" rel="attachment wp-att-20" title="CodeJAK design by Alex Knight">CodeJAK design by Alex Knight</a>&#8221; &#8211; its cool as!</p>
<p>So here is the low-down:</p>
<p>CodeJAK is a site that allows you to store code snippets &#8211; don&#8217;t let me lose you there, it&#8217;s got some cool features (okay, it *will* have some cool features).</p>
<p>First and foremost my plans for CodeJAK are to create a Visual Studio plugin that manages your snippets. All snippets you store in CodeJAK are stored on-line &#8211; so when you install CodeJAK on another machine and log in, all your snippets will be synched between your machines automatically.</p>
<p>The next  feature is that you can publish your snippets if you like, i.e. share them. Then others can search for published snippets (in VS, or on the accompanying website).</p>
<p>Other features include community features like tagging snippets, comments on snippets, RSS feeds (subs to a feed based on user or tags or some other search query) &#8211; you get the idea (don&#8217;t steal it! &#8211; if you think its good then leave a comment and help me out!)</p>
<p>P.S. If you have heard of this idea before (which I havn&#8217;t) then please let me know (let me down gently).</p>
