Love to code, although it bugs me.

Using Visual Studio 2008 with Team Foundation Server 2010

Ozzie 11:19 AM , , No comments
Given the lack of a straightforward answer on the Web, here is mine. To get Visual Studio 2008 to connect to Team Foundation Server 2010 and integrate with the source control follow these steps:

  1. Download and install Visual Studio Team System 2008 Team Explorer
  2. Download and install  Microsoft Visual Studio 2008 Service Pack 1 
  3. Download and install  Visual Studio Team System 2008 Service Pack 1 Forward Compatibility Update for Team Foundation Server 2010 
Having successfully executed all previous installations, open Visual Studio 2008, go to menu "Tools > Connect to Team Foundation Server":

Add your TFS server's address in the form "http://[IP address or FQDN]:[port]/tfs".
It should be all set up!

Compress PDF file with embedded images

Ozzie 2:15 PM , , No comments
Having business related documents on a Enterprise Content Management (ECM) platform, for the sake of governance a set of usage policies has to be in place. Basic examples of these are:

  • File size constraint: a submitted file cannot be larger than an admissible threshold.
  • file type unification: a single file type, or a reduced set of types, should be enforced.
However, scanned files converted into PDF without OCR turn into files with huge images embedded into them. This can turn a simple document unfit to submit into the ECM.
Fortunately I found a solution on this post here. I  tried the Irfanview solution and it worked fine.

JQuery Datepicker - Add Portuguese Localization

Ozzie 12:25 PM No comments
Got this from here. I'm re-posting it because it's a good example for any localization you'd want to perform on the JQuery UI date picker control:


/* Portuguese initialisation for the jQuery UI date picker plugin. */
/* Based on the Brazilian initialisation */
jQuery(function($){
 $.datepicker.regional['pt'] = {
  closeText: 'Fechar',
  prevText: '<Anterior',
  nextText: 'Seguinte',
  currentText: 'Hoje',
  monthNames: ['Janeiro','Fevereiro','Março','Abril','Maio','Junho',
  'Julho','Agosto','Setembro','Outubro','Novembro','Dezembro'],
  monthNamesShort: ['Jan','Fev','Mar','Abr','Mai','Jun',
  'Jul','Ago','Set','Out','Nov','Dez'],
  dayNames: ['Domingo','Segunda-feira','Terça-feira','Quarta-feira','Quinta-feira','Sexta-feira','Sábado'],
  dayNamesShort: ['Dom','Seg','Ter','Qua','Qui','Sex','Sáb'],
  dayNamesMin: ['Dom','Seg','Ter','Qua','Qui','Sex','Sáb'],
  weekHeader: 'Sem',
  dateFormat: 'dd/mm/yy',
  firstDay: 0,
  isRTL: false,
  showMonthAfterYear: false,
  yearSuffix: ''};
 $.datepicker.setDefaults($.datepicker.regional['pt']);
});

Free resources for media standout

Making an appealing presentation or sales pitch is not that hard anymore, as long as you have good communication skills and use the right resources.
On this post, I share with you three nice suggestions from the people at Slides that Rock:
  • Compfight: Compfight is a Flickr image search engine.
  • Font Squirrel: Quality freeware fonts that are licensed for commercial work
  • COLOURlovers: COLOURlovers is a creative community where people from around the world create and share colors, palettes and patterns, discuss the latest trends and explore colorful articles.
With the above, I made the above image with little trouble. Nice?
