Thanks.

Don’t underestimate the productivity boost that you would get by using a large monitor with a regular keyboard & a mouse. It doesn’t matter if you don’t have a desktop. Just buy, no, I would say ‘Invest’ in an external monitor, keyboard & a mouse and connect them to your laptop. There you go! You can then work for longer hours, get more work done & you will get rid of future neck-aches, shoulder-aches etc.

Don’t hesitate to do this shift immediately. I have recently seen several companies supplying laptops to their employees instead of desktop. The employees spend whole day on small laptop screens & anti-ergnonomic laptop’s keyboard. If you want your employees to get more work done, then get an external monitor for everyone. Seriously!

Thanks

As I am new to .Net Framework & ASP.Net MVC, I was looking in to various articles that would give clear step by step instructions as to how to add localization to ASP.Net MVC Projects. Especially, localization of string resources.

Here is a fantastic article on Localization in ASP.Net MVC projects.

Thanks to the author.

To our surprise FindMySoft.com is different. It writes exclusive reviews about a software product.

They recently awarded 5 star to Quick Notes Plus and also wrote a review comparing our premium sticky notes software Notezilla.

Thanks.

Thanks to this StackOverflow question that set my direction. It says that I must use the ‘group by’ operator, which I did.

Following is the code that I ended up with:

//distinct tags for a particular user
var tags = from t in _db.Tags
               where t.UserId == userId
               group t by t.Name into g
               select g.FirstOrDefault();

Since the query returns a group, we must select the first item in the group. Hence FirstOrDefault().

Thanks.

Now, I am not in favor of killing (obviously). But how is this different from killing of millions of chickens, goats, pigs, turtle, fishes, lobsters etc for eating, clothing etc.

Somebody please explain? What am I missing?
