Announcement: DOTENET

8 Comments ASP.NET, Web 2.0

Its give me immense pleasure to announcement .NET portal – DOTENET (URL: www.dotenet.com). It’s “Digg” style web application dedicated to .NET and relative technologies. This portal will serve as central hub to share articles, tutorials, blog post etc.

When I was planning to create this portal two months back, I was sure that first release of this project will have minimum “must to have” features and later I will add features which are “good to have”. And that’s why you will notice many blank pages on this portal. These blank pages are place-holder for features which I will add in coming weeks (depending upon available bandwidth).

The desired goal of creating a community portal cannot be achieved without your active participation. Please register yourself to this portal and share any article or post which you think useful to .NET community. If you find any existing link useful in DOTNET portal, please vote for that link so that link can be push to popular segment.

As you continue participating in this portal, please keep in mind that this community portal needs your feedback to remain alive. Please provide your feedback/opinion/suggestion to this post

Then its time to install KeePass and let it stores and manages your passwords in single place. With that, what you just need to remember is only one master password to access these hundreds of stored passwords.

KeePass Main Window

KeePass stores passwords in single encrypted file which means you can easily move your password database from one machine to another.

It can even suggest you strong random password based on provided number of characters and other consideration like options to include special characters, having combination of lower and upper characters in password etc.

Random Password

No need to reveal to provide it in your web page. And as you pasted your copied password, it will automatically remove copied password from your clipboard. Further, it you didn’t paste your copied password within specified time then KeePass will automatically remove copied password from clipboard.

I find this concept great as you can easily change the whole story by just changing the sequence of images. Here is my version :)
