Hopefully now that life has settled back a bit and work and life look more organised, I will get more and more time to blog and write more about my experiences of entrepreneurship and working with technology. Hoping for a great 2011 and wish all of you all a great year ahead.

To enable Intellisense to work with HTML 5, perform the following steps:

1. Download the HTML5 support package for Visual Studio 2008 from the Visual Web Developer team here.
2. Copy the html_5.xsd in C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft Visual Studio 10.0\Common7\Packages\schemas\html
3. Edit the correct registry file and replace 9.0 with 10.0
   The file will look like this ( 64 bit VS 2010 Ultimate for me ):

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Wow6432Node\Microsoft\VisualStudio\10.0\Packages\{1B437D20-F8FE-11D2-A6AE-00104BCC7269}\Schemas\Schema 23]
"File"="html\\html_5.xsd"
"Friendly Name"="HTML 5"
"URI"="http://schemas.microsoft.com/intellisense/html-5"

4. Run the registry file to merge it with your registry.
5. Open Visual Studio 2010
6. Go to Tools->Options->Text Editor->HTML->Validation
7. Select target as HTML 5

This would allow you to get Intellisense for your HTML 5 based projects.

Thanks to everyone who read my blogs in the past. I has been a very exciting experience. Apologies for drifting away from blogging without telling. I did not have any plans for leaving, however personal and professional life took their toll and I just did not have any time to blog. For those who don’t know, I got married in 2007. I started my own company Toolagen Limited in 2008. 2009 had been a very hectic year for work, as a small startup we were struggling to stay alive and grow in the midst of recession. It was a very challenging time, but we grew from strength to strength and now have exciting plans for times ahead. Let’s see where 2010 take us.

Anyways, if you read so far, many thanks. Hope I get time and the motivation to start writing again, and again get a chance to know you all. Till then, wishing everyone a very happy 2010.

Do we have a Google killer here? What do you think?

Finally 2008 is over. What a year it has been. Hoping that 2009 brings lots of hope, prosperity, happiness and joy to everyone. Wishing everyone a very happy 2009

I initially started blogging with WordPress, and went thru a painful process to migrate all content to Community Server a few years ago. It was a good system. It still is, but it is meant for very large blogging networks, and not very suitable for a single blog. They do have a new product called Grafitti, however, both suffer from one major problem. A lack of free plugins, themes and tools available from the community. WordPress on the other has is a fantastic blogging platform, very easy to use and has an abundance of free support to a small blogger like me.

One more major turning point towards WordPress was the launch of Windows 2008 and IIS7. It now supports URL Rewriting, and hence via Fast CGI it can use mod rewrite to create pretty URL’s Have a look at this post URL. Am a .NET developer and hence I always host on Windows servers. This was one of the reasons why I had left WordPress in the first place. So it’s great to be back with WordPress.

Lookout for more regular posts soon.

Just came across this page from Microsoft about an announcement for the availability of a free version of CodeRush called CodeRush Xpress. Might be worth looking into for faster development and refactoring. Definitely worth having a look if you have never used CodeRush before. Good news for those who have been in the sidelines due to the cost involved. Now you get a chance to use some functionality of CodeRush for free.

It’s been a while since I posted. I have been involved in bringing my dream to reality. For a quick update, I have left my job to start my own company Toolagen Limited. Currently keeping very busy in giving shape to this organisation while working on several consulting projects on SharePoint / MOSS. Working for myself will enable me to work on even more engaging and complex SharePoint / MOSS projects while creating a service delivery team to develop and deploy complex MOSS solutions.

We are also working on some SharePoint tools which will soon be released to everyone. Hopefully we will be making it to Beta before Christmas.

SearchEngineLand has a nice write up about this proposed acquisition. It discusses the event in detail and portrays a nice picture of what is going on and why. Definitely worth a read.

There are also live blogged notes from the Microsoft conference call for the Yahoo! bid at 8:30.
