ToolTask

This is just a filler for the category 'ToolTask' in my blog.

ToolTask is an Internet Explorer plugin to allow people to set themselves reminders to view webpages.  It was written because I kept on forgetting what I needed to read and when.  Since 'favorites' is only basic I needed a better implementation.

It uses concepts and code defined in http://www.thecodeproject.com/csharp/dotnetbandobjects.asp but I am slowly drifting away from this code with subsquent releases.

The source code will be released eventually but needs tidying up at the moment.

Borland adventures

On my daily trawl of the web I came across the Borland equivalent of Microsoft C# IDE.  Having played around with the free personal edition it made me ponder whether people actually use this?  Don't get me wrong, it is a good IDE and also free (personal non-commercial edition), but do people actually use the full version in the commercial market? 

I can see why anti-Microsoft people would use Borlands other products (C Builder for example) but since C# is a Microsoft language I don't think that argument is valid.
