Web Resizer got a new Award by SoftwareCocktail (http://www.softwarecocktail.com/).
Actually “Editor’s Pics”! 
Web Resizer Editor’s Review By Jim Curry.
Much more than just another freeware bulk image resizing tool, Web Resizer is the professional image manipulation and processing utility that web and systems administrators everywhere have been waiting for.
A tiny 2Mb download and a quick, no-frills install reveals some serious functionality packed into a one-size-fits-all window. Use the simple directory browser to select the folder you want to work with, choose the filetype and destination, and then take a closer look at some of the things Web Resizer lets you do.
One of the stuff in Software Cocktail worked so hard to create my pad file. I would like to thank for his job.
I made a file splitter program with CSharp.
It’s actually not my originals, I just changed appearance.
It uses .NET Framework and weighs only 55 Kb. But I made the icon and it weighs 107 Kb. So the program weighing 162 Kb.
This program is not worth publishing here because it is not my original. If you want, you can find the source code on the web. There are quite many. I just want to say that I have learned of it.
I learned like this:
I sometimes find files named some_file.zip.001, some_file.zip.002… on the Internet. Then I must have file splitter (or file joiner) program to re-join them. In this case some_file.zip is the result.
My File Splitter uses the Windows Shell function “Copy” to recreate the original file.
In this case:
copy/b "some_file.zip.001" + "some_file.zip.002" "some_file.zip"
Save it as batch file and double click it.
Voilà!
I understand that people may use a similar method.
The next time when I find splitted files, I do not need to seek a re-join tool on my computer, but write shell command.
At last it’s getting warm outside. Lilac flowers and grass grows and grows. Although no water! We still have no water, almost ridiculous now.
Not splendid but pretty good sound with different sizes. They are handy!
Page owner says:
This page is now on a new server, and downloads are handled via FTP. To keep free soundfonts free, the bandwidth must be controlled. If you get an error message from your browser when you select a download, try again in a few minutes – it just means that all connections are busy. Also, please don’t try to download more than one file at a time – you are limited to only a single connection and will get that error message again. Once a file is complete, you can download another. Thanks for your understanding.
It may not call large files these days, but there are many Mega bytes SoundFont there.
I tried them with my MidiToWav, and it felt a bit odd because it sounded very different from the Sequencer’s sound, but nice tuned!

Follow the link SoundFont!
There are free MIDI files and stuff too.
It feels 8MB Creative Labs SoundFont sounds better to me after all.
I read books, web and stuff who described that you could do fun things with Silverlight with VisualStudio 2008 – C Sharp of course. But it appears not.
I saw some people using C Sharp Express and where I saw the Silverlight design, but there is not. It is not design, but preview. It was so in Beta, it looks like.
I feel that I must have MS Expression Blend to work with. How do I otherwise complex curves and stuff. You do it maybe, but not me. So I quit.
Just testing code
ImageFix::ImageFix()
{
GdiplusStartupInput input;
GdiplusStartup(&m_token, &input, NULL);
// Comment
UINT size;
UINT numEncoders;
GetImageEncodersSize(&numEncoders, &size);
ImageCodecInfo *encoders = (ImageCodecInfo *)malloc(size);
GetImageEncoders(numEncoders, size, encoders);
for (UINT i = 0; i < numEncoders; i++)
{
ImageCodecInfo encoder = encoders[i];
m_aEncoders.Add(encoder);
if (encoder.FormatID == ImageFormatPNG)
{
m_defaultEncoder = encoder;
}
}
free(encoders);
}
Wow! This is great!
They have even taken samples yet!
Water provider is still not taken any water, but promised to immediately take samples for analysis.
It is crazy!
Water in this district I live has chemicals and stuff that are poisonous and cannot drink. The city stopped us to drink tap water for 4 weeks ago.
We: means the people in this district.
They: means the city.
They emptied our water at the old water and fill with public water.
Because the water going through our old system and the lab results of the water is not clear. Not yet! 4 weeks! How long does it take?
I think, they got the lab results longer than three, four or five weeks before they stopped us drinking toxic water. This means that we drank toxic water for quite some time.
We can see how vulnerable our society is, after all technologies and things we think we have. We cannot even conjure up water.
The Silverlight Managed Debugging Package Isn’t Installed! What error is that?
I saw the Silverlight animation on the web and I wanted to do it too.
Microsoft Silverlight technology will not work in Visual Studio 2008, so I need to update it to SP1. It was about 850 MB. When I made it, Windows wanted to further update of SP1, which was almost 500 MB.
It took a long time but it was done.
Right now, the latest version of Silverlight 4 does not work in VS2008, I have downloaded the Silverlight tools version 3, SDK and samples from Microsofts’ downloads.
I thought, “Now it is OK for work”. But NOT.
When I open a sample solution and click “Start Debugging”, it displays the following message.
The silverlight managed debugging package isn’t installed.
I thought everything was OK, but no.
I searched through the MSDN Forums and stuff, but found nothing that helped me. Then googled, and found quite a lot.
But what is correct? I did not want to test all possible. Anyway, I tried some of them, and did not work.
I thought Silverlight addon has something to do with it. It was a very reasoned to me. Since it’s made for ordinary users, not for developers. In addition, I saw the MS Silverlight plugin will always installed the latest (version 4). But I am trying to do is 3.
Conclusion
- MSVS2008 must be updated to SP1
- If you have Silverlight browser plugin version 4, uninstall it
- If you have Silverlight4 Tools, uninstall them all
- Download and install Silverlight3_Tools
- Download and install Silverlight3_SDK
- Download and install Silverlight_Developer (version 3)
You do not need to change the registry or such a complex.
I hope that helps if you have similar problems.
Yesterday I must say.
It is April and snowing. Just a little.
