Running Notepad++ under Wine

Notepad++ is a great Editor which unfortunately is just compiled for windows.
But it runs nicely under Wine:

ps.:
So far I was a big fan of Live Writer. Now, searching for an alternative on Linux (Drivel didn't do the job), I discovered that I can write my posts with Google Docs.
This is the first post I've written and published with Google Docs.

SyntaxHighlighter does the better job

I was using Code Snippet plugin for Windows Live Writer with poor resutls. Thanks to this instructions now I'm using SyntaxHighlighter with much better results and I reworked the C++/CLI unit testing post to make use of SyntaxHighlighter.

Code Snippet plugin for Windows Live Writer

Writing my last blog post I used “Code Snippet plugin for Windows Live Writer” to embed source code.

I had some difficulty with the formatting once posted.

This post suggested to switch off a special BlogSpot setting to convert line feeds. It didn't really work, but when I remove all linefeeds from the html I get it right:

   1: #pragma once

   2:  

   3: namespace MyDiagnosticsNet {

   4:  

   5:   using namespace System;

   6:   using namespace System::Diagnostics;

   7:  

   8:   public ref class MyTraceListener : public TraceListener

   9:   {

  10:   public:

  11:     MyTraceListener();

  12:     virtual void Write(String^ message) override;

  13:     virtual void WriteLine(String^ message) override;

  14:     virtual void TraceEvent(TraceEventCache^ eventCache, String^ source, TraceEventType eventType, int id);

  15:     virtual void TraceEvent(TraceEventCache^ eventCache, String^ source, TraceEventType eventType, int id, String^ message);

  16: )

  17: )  private:

  18:     void CheckedTrace(String^ message);

  19:     static String^ PrependTimeStamp(String^ message);

  20:     MyBaseDescr* GetBaseDescr();

  21:     MyBaseDescr* myBaseDescr_;

  22:   };

  23: }

I think I have to do some more experiments...

Tool I need to do my job: Live Writer

This is the first post in a series where I will discuss tools I regularly use to do my job. The first one to mention is:

Live Writer which I'm just now using to write this post. Nothing really needed for software development but to maintain my brain extension (this blog).

Rating: Can hardly do without.
