gabru Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 so lets do it before MS do ;) It should be a pluging. after installing it you will get a new menuitem in the IE or better directly under the menupoint favorites. It should work maybe like a CVS system: highlight the favs wich are not checked in (to the web). if you create a new fav it checks if there is an online connection available. if yes it stores it to the DB. if the software design is good it should be no problem to implement the favs to a website where users also can acces their favs from the web.

bri189a Posted February 29, 2004 Posted February 29, 2004 I got great ideas, but no salesmanship or financial backing, anyone want to partner up? :) Quote
TechnoTone Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 i have quite long an idea but had not much time to realize it till now. I thought about creating an application (or better a plugin for IE) to manage my favorites. The big thing is: i want to manage my favorites central. That means store the favs in a database on the net. Then you will have access everywhere to your favs. Your favs should lose all the redundancies. Check out http://www.mybookmarks.com.

samsmithnz Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 This just reinforces that everything has been done before. I decided last summer to start my own version of UFO: Enemy Unknown, built a website, started developing the game, and then found 4 other similar projects (which I don't think are/will be as good:p), but I'm still going for it. Its a great way to learn and even if I don't finish my project, it was worth it for all the new techiques I've learnt that I never would have picked up developing business applications, yet they are useful enough to use in the businesss applications. Rambling now, that comes from staying up all night watching the stupid extra long Oscars. Long live New Zealand! Quote Thanks Sam http://www.samsmith.co.nz
irasmith Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 I also agree in that doesn't matter if something has been done before. You still learn from doing it yourself and that knowledge you can always retain for later use in other projects. Also, given we are each unique in our own way, chances are that some of that "uniqueness" will carry over to the program and therefore in its own small way still be somewhat different than all the others out there. :) Quote Ira Richard Smith IraRichardSmith.Net

samsmithnz Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 I'm still interested in money. If I found out tomorrow there were 6 new projects like mine, and 3 were going to be released tomorrow and they were all much better, I'd quit too. (E.G. An Mp3 player). Quote Thanks Sam http://www.samsmith.co.nz
iebidan Posted March 1, 2004 Posted March 1, 2004 Sam, if you're interested in money, create an app already in the market, improve it, add more function, better GUI and then sell it cheaper than the other app. Quote Fat kids are harder to kidnap

samsmithnz Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 I have a new software idea... well maybe not much of an idea as such, more an extension. In visual studio whenever you try to use a variable that isn't declared it adds an error to your tasklist (unless you're a retard and you've turned off option explicit). I want to create an addin to Visual Studio that adds a warning to my tasklist whenever I create a variable (or function for that matter), but then don't call or use it... Personally I am bad at reengineering (well actually thats a really good thing... cos the functions usually kick arse when i'm done, but I'm sidetracking again...) my functions and leaving dead code lying around... I'd love to take this somewhere, but I have no idea where to start... Quote Thanks Sam http://www.samsmith.co.nz

iebidan Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 Tell the compiler to treat the warnings as errors and then you'll see 'em, also you can use the output window Quote Fat kids are harder to kidnap
samsmithnz Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 OK, so I checked compiler warnings as errors on, and then added a new variable to the top of my project: Private i as Integer. re-built the project. nothing in the task list. ran the project. nothing in the task list. view all comments. nothing in the task list. ???

iebidan Posted March 15, 2004 Posted March 15, 2004 hum... Visual Basic.... hum.... I don't think VB compiler will treat that a s a warning, try with C# Quote Fat kids are harder to kidnap
