Dual/Multi Core Support for Visual Studio 2005/2008

January 20th, 2010 Category: General

It’s a shame, but Microsoft Visual Studio 2005/2008 doesn’t support compiling several .c / .cpp files in parallel when working with a dual/multi core CPU. Especially when e.g. compiling  on a Intel Core i7 with quad core and hyper threading this is really annoying. In Visual Studio 2010 this will be supported… But many many people want to work with Visual Studio 2005/2008 and get advantage of their powerful multi core CPU’s.

For this reason you can get the MPCL Plugin, it enables support for compiling several files in parallel on all your cores. It’s not for free but the price is fair.

Hot Babe for Windows

January 2nd, 2009 Category: General

hotbabeHot-babe is a small graphical utility which displays the system activity in a very special way. When the CPU is idle, it displays a dressed girl, and when the activity goes up, as the temperature increases, the girl begins to undress, to finish totally naked when the system activity reaches 100%. Of course, if you can be shocked by nudity, don’t use it!
