Aero Snap

For those of you who love the ‘Aero Snap’ feature in Windows 7 but are unfortunate enough to be stuck with Vista for the time being!

Note: If you didn’t know already you can use Windows Key+Arrows to dock windows without the mouse!

SQL Generator

I found this tool today which allows you to use a webUI to design a database table, and will then generate you the SQL code to create that table at runtime.

I used this to design a table to use with sqlite3 and although the code generated is intended for use with mysql, a few minor adjustments allowed me to execute this on a sqlite3 database with no problems.
