World's first Skype Passport is almost out ;)

This is a little javascript which will allow your users to easilly register on your site, by filling their contacts automatically from skype (offcourse only few fields are populated, but most registrations require only few fields after all).
Here is a screenshot of this neat little javascript placed on a page:



Note : This works only if your users are using IE (as this thing depends on ActiveX).

The tool will be available for free download at my site : ChameleonBulgaria so visit it regularly ;)

When I publish it, I will also publish a news on the frontend so you can know.
Just a few more hours ;)

Very simple tool to watch ending Sedo Auctions

Few months ago I was interested in the domain trading business. It was interesting to me as it generated 14.2 million dollars back in 2006. It is based on speculla I think. Something like FOREX but not quite.

I registered two domains and placed them on Sedo Auctions.

I was also interested on how other domains are going so I decided to write a small tool. It will stay in your tray and will show you the auctions which are about to end the next 24 hours. The following information is gathered about each auction:

- Domain for sale
- Price
- Currency
- Time left before the auction is closed
- Google PR for each domain

The program is available for download from Chameleon Bulgaria

I decided to put a banner on this program so my domains
for sale are visible to the users (well, after all I spent some time on this program and I would really like ot have some incomes after all ;).

Here is a direct link to the program page on Chameleon Bulgaria may be found

5 minutes C# to dispose your NotifyIcon object

If you have this problem - try calling .Dispose() method for your NotifyIcon explicitly in the FormClosing event:


    
private void Form1_FormClosing(object sender, FormClosingEventArgs e)
     {
        notifyIcon1.Dispose();
     }

Note : this trick may not work if the Application was terminated abnormally. I will investigate that issue when I have some free time and report back what is the best approach on this.
