Bite my bytes

Cool links I read about this week, bookmarked and though someone else might find useful.

In previous episode: Links of the week #4 (week 38/07)

Development

• Optimize TortoiseSVN - Great idea to let TortoiseSVN cache service operate only on folder that really contain code.
• Multi-Targeting VS2005 and VS2008 Web Application Projects, a Gotcha! - I'm planning to start do real work in VS2008 and I might run into this issue.
• Sara Ford's Weblog - Sara's blog is full of VS shortcuts. And they get more interesting by the day.

Web development

• Typetester - test different fonts on the web. I miss Vista/Office2007 fonts in there, especially Segoe UI which is used on CodePlex for example.

SQL Server

• xSQL Object Search (via Greg's Cool [Insert Clever Name] of the Day) - Search for SQL objects.

Blogs and blogging

• A tool to manage your blog categories and Technorati Tags (via CodeClimber) - I started tagging my post. This is a tool I might use to tag old ones.
