I was bored yesterday. ;-)

The template validates XHTML 1.0 Strict and CSS 2.0 Strict. Very, very simple; so simple, in fact, it didn't even require a separate stylesheet for IE 6. But who said simple had to be ugly?

Anyhow: here's the linkie to the template

I noticed that my preferences pane was getting cluttered with applications; some of these applications, mind you, have been uninstalled far back. So I did some sleuthing today to try to figure out how to get rid of them. It turned out to be super-simple: control+clicking on the application icon gives you the option of removing it from the preferences pane. Doh!

I was playing around with Active Directory and C# today. I don't pretend to understand anything yet, but you don't need to know anything about Active Directory or LDAP to do stuff against it with C#.

To start with, the classes we're interested in are found in the following namespaces:

System.DirectoryServices;
System.DirectoryServices.ActiveDirectory;

Suppose you set up your email account (person@domain.com) so that all its e-mails get forwarded to your Gmail account. It's really easy to get Gmail to send a reply to any e-mail you received to this account as that account.

That is: the "From" field for any reply will be "person@domain.com" instead of "person@gmail.com."

I was poking around the .NET framework yesterday and came across these three methods in the TextInfo class:

string text = "this is a test string";

System.Globalization.TextInfo info = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("en-US", false).TextInfo;

// First letter of every word is capitalized.
System.Console.WriteLine(info.ToTitleCase(text));

// Lowercase all letters
// System.Console.WriteLine(info.ToLower(text));

// Uppercase all letters
// System.Console.WriteLine(info.ToUpper(text));

info = new System.Globalization.CultureInfo("de-DE", false).TextInfo;

System.Console.ReadLine();

Nice. :-)
