I’ve just stumbled across this Open Source Social Network, that runs on Ruby On Rails
I’ll be sure to download this and have a play with it sometime soon!

Heart, music, diamonds and other cool symbols on Facebook and other things
Ever wondered how to get those cool little symbols in wall posts, status updates, messages etc… on Facebook, MySpace, Twitter, etc…?
This kind of thing: ☼ ☻☺ ♪ ♫ ♥
Well…. you can either copy them off this page, or use the key sequence next to them:
To get these to work:
You will need to have Num Lock ON
Also, you’ll need to use the number pad – the bunch of numerical keys on the right of the keyboard (on a pc)
Press and hold the “Alt” key (usually bottom left of your keyboard) followed by a number (see below)
Please note, the symbol will only appear AFTER you release the Alt key.

iPhone replacing “Xx” with “Fx” – FIXED In OS 3.0
At last!
The “feature” that replaced Xx with Fx has been fixed in OS 3.0!
Another thing I have noticed is with “lol” – Before the OS 3.0 update, if I typed lol, it would change it to UPPERCASE. Now, however, it leaves it as i typed it.
Show line numbers in Visual Studio 2008
I recently reset my settings in Visual Studio which, irritatingly, made my line numbers disappear.
To re-instate the line numbers, there is a simple process:
Click:
Tools > Options > Text Editor > All Languages > General
On the right, under Display section, check Line numbers (see below)
Click Ok.
Reset IDE settings in Visual Studio 2008
I recently acquired a PC at my new job where there was an existing installation of Visual Studio.
This was fine, however it was set up for a VB.net developer.
Whilst I do use VB.net, I didn’t want my VS set up this way.
I wanted to re-instate that lovely screen you see when you fresh install VS (below)
To do this, simply click:
Tools > Import and Export Settings Editor
Click Reset all settings
I didn’t backup my settings as the guy working here before had gone… But this screen gives you the option to.
And there we are.
All settings can be reset to a theme of your choice.
