Chrome extensions I use on a regular basis

Google Chrome Sync feature makes it easy for me to remember what extensions I use because if I reinstall and re-enter my account credentials it will reinstall the extensions for me. It is a pretty cool feature.

Here are the chrome extensions I use on a regular basis. I have a few more installed that I have tried, but these are the extensions I use on a regular basis.

Boy I wish there was a way to create a table from a select query

I was doing some SQL work today when I had a thought: Boy I wish there was a way to create a table from a select query I started in Navicat to see if it was possible. After find nothing I decided to google it all the while thinking in my head how I was going to create a script to do this if I couldn't find anything. I found something. I was happy yet sad. Happy because I didn't have to take the time to create something. Sad because I didn't have to create the tool. It sounded like a fun project. What did I find you ask?

I cannot believe in all my years of programming I never stumbled upon this type of statement. Source: Tech on the Net

Git GUI for Windows

This past weekend I needed to upload code to github. I chose to use the GitHub for Windows which made it painless. Today I decided to research and see what other GUI clients I could find for GIT. I stumbled upon SourceTree by Atlassian Software. It was really easy to setup a local repository as well as connecting to GitHub. My favorite feature so far besides the ease of use is the dashboard that shows you the files that need committed and the diff details right beside it. Here is a screenshot:
