Microsoft Windows Live tracks the number of hits, page views today and page views this week. Its great to see this blog so active worldwide, mainly as a online 24/7 reference for myself (I think of it as an online technical code library) but also serving up a number of articles and downloadable material for you every month. I try and post something every month.

 

Statistics wise, Microsoft Windows Live is reporting: Total page views: 23,685 !

 

Box.net has reported a LARGE number of downloads for the code postings from http://yellowduckguy.spaces.live.com  The most download file is http://www.box.net/shared/tmm25or137 - seems Windows 7 launch worldwide is MASSIVE!  This is great. I have been using the Release Candidate of Windows 7 since it was release and i'm really really pleased with it. The release of Windows 7 is going to be successful even during the worldwide economic downturn.

 

Till next time, keep watching this space! p.s. big thanks to you!

I have been wanting a free tool which can convert video with ease from my digital camera to different formats i.e. for the web or my mobile phone.

Couple of weeks ago I came across Quick Media Converter and really really like it. It's simple to use and works a treat. I have also had it working fine on the latest Windows 7 Release Candidate (RC) operating system.

 

 

Some of the formats supported: Flash, WMV, MOV, DivX, XviD, DVD, VCD, mp4, 3gp, SWF etc. The full list is here: http://www.cocoonsoftware.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=72&Itemid=73

 

Do try it, it's pretty simple to use!

This is a great handy framework or .NET library when working with data files in .NET. Info about this below (directly from the site http://www.filehelpers.com/)

 

 

 

 

The FileHelpers are completely free because they are released under the LPGL Licence that allows the use of the code and binaries in all places, also in commercial applications.

 

Enjoy!
