Have you ever found yourself browsing the net and finding some code that you know is useful and you’d like to store it for future use? You then proceed to save it in a text file and save it in a random location. Not only will you forget about it but even if you remembered it you probably wouldn’t be able to find it!!

Thats where Code Warehouse comes in. It is a handy little utiliy that lets you create your own categories for storing code snippets for reference later on. For each code entry you can specify the language to enable syntax highlighting, item type (function, class, interface etc.) plus the usuals like name, description etc. You are also able to save notes about each entry and and upload files associated with the entry. This would be handy if you needed DLL files or other to support the code you are writing.

Code Warehouse really is a once stop shop for code management and gone are the days when I had to flick through various old projects to double check how something was done. It has support for lots of languages and I am a particular fan of the database support (MySQL, SQL Server, Access + more) which means I could develop a web interface to make my code available to me on the go or provide access to other users.

My setup is as follows: Main categories by programming language then sub categories in each for various areas e.g. Text, File IO, web, security etc..

Disable floppy drive in Windows..

If you no longer have a floppy drive in your computer then you will probably have no need for the A drive in “My Computer”. It really is quite easy to disable it..

Right-Click “My Computer” -> Select properties (Shortcut: WIN + Pause/Break) -> Hardware -> Device Manager -> Floppy Disk Controllers -> Right-Click and disable “Standard Floppy Disk Controller” -> “Yes” to warning.

That’s it! No more annoying floppy drive!
