Turn off laptop LCD

Turn off your notebook LCD with one-click | Redmond Pie

Edit: Tried this last night going to bed, and my screen wouldn't stay off. I even unplugged my optical mouse in case that was waking it up, but it still turned back on. Sigh.

Edit 2: NirCmd also has a command to shut off your monitor (via), so I'll give that a shot later.

  1. Editra is a new text editor written in Python, using Scintilla (via). Currently in alpha, so I'm not switching to it from what I currently use (PSPad), but it may be worth keeping an eye on. Incidentally, I still have to try Notepad++.

Another list of my "must have" programs

Another list of my must-have programs I always install on a new computer (or if I don't install them right away, I wind up installing them eventually). In no particular order:

I also typically install metapad and replace Windows Notepad with it, but Vista has been stubborn about letting me do that and I haven't pushed.

Feel free to leave a comment with a link to anything you find indispensable.

  1. diff-ext seems like it'd be handy.

    Edit: I was like "doesn't kdiff3 do this already?" Turns out it does, but it embeds diff-ext. I highly recommend kdiff3 btw, it's the only diff program I use.

  1. SQL Server Dumper. Let's you dump SQL Server tables like mysqldump lets you do for MySQL. Unfortunately, it's not scriptable. I'm not sure what SQL Server has built-in to dump tables, but if you need something just once or infrequently this should work for you.
