Freeware Disk Defragmenter

It works with any OS-supported file system* on any OS-supported writable media. It will only work on Windows XP and Windows Server 2003. This program will not work on any other line of Windows (9x, Win 3.1, etc).

Features:

  • Can be run by any user (service needs to be installed by an administrator).
  • Complete whole-disk defragging, including private operating system files.
  • Multiple instances can be run simultaneously (if you have multiple disks).
  • Individual file defragging, with wildcards and recursion. This mode is an opportunistic defragger, marginally better than Diskeeper in that it will at least defrag the file as best it can rather than not at all.
  • Defrags NTFS, FAT** and FAT32** filesystems on any media (HD, ZipTM/JazTM, Floppy, etc).
  • A "shotgun" mode, where it severely fragments files. Useful for testing or really annoying someone.
  • Individual file fragmentation analysis. Find out where on disk a file resides, and how many fragments it’s in.
  • 100% safe and interruptable. This program doesn’t actually move the files - the OS does it. Even if you suffer a power failure while it’s working, you run no higher risk of file system corruption than you would if you had happened to be saving a file from any application.
  • Boot-time defragmentation.

.Text to CommunityServer converter

The tool is a GUI wizard that can be run on any machine. You do not need to have Community Server installed on the same box. Your .Text and CS installations can be on the same or different SQL servers. However you will need to have the ability to connect directly to your SQL Server(s) over the Internet from the machine this utility is being run on.

It converts users, weblogs, posts, articles, comments, trackbacks, referrals, view counts, links, and categories. The only kind of .Text content it does NOT convert is .Text photo galleries.

JetBrains ReSharper v1.5 Released

This version features contains following refactorings

  • Extract Interface

    This refactoring allows users to create interface from a class and make that class implement the created interface. A user can choose members to extract to the interface and name of the interface. The refactoring is useful for specifying a class interface and using it where appropriate.

  • Extract Superclass

    With this refactoring you can create base class for a class and move some members to it. Just place caret at a class declaration, select members to extract and run the refactoring. It is very useful for moving some logic up to share it later.

  • Copy Type

    Create copy of a type with different name or namespace easily. The refactoring will also create separate file for it.

  • Introduce Field

    Select and expression or a local variable and apply this refactoring. It will create a new field or constant and initialize it with the expression or local variable initializer. The field can be initialized in its initializer, constructors or the current member.

  • Encapsulate Field

    Forgot to create accessor property for a field? Just invoke the refactoring and it will create it and also replace usages of the field with usages of the property.

  • Introduce Parameter

    Select an expression or a local variable in a method and this refactoring will create new parameter which will be properly initialized at all call sites.

  • Convert Interface to Abstract Class

    If you want to add some logic to interface or feel it better be a class you should invoke the refactoring and all appropriate conversions will be made.

  • Convert Abstract Class to Interface

    You can apply this refactoring to an abstract class and it will be converted to interface.

  • Generating «delegation» methods

    If you need to delegate the execution of particular methods to an instance of a particular class, you no longer have to do it manually. Just call the ReSharper | Code | Generate… command or press Alt+Insert shortcut, choose "Generate delegating members" and specify the target and methods to become delegates. ReSharper will generate all necessary code immediately.
