Such controversial feelings (of hope & despair, pride & disappointment) when people think of you better, yet you know they probably shouldn't!!

Creating a simple Open Search Provider/Plug-in
Yesterday, I needed to check/search my delicious bookmarks more than once. I then realized that delicious have its a search plug-in as a part of a tool bar (along with other bookmarking tools, few search tools, though), which -I guess- loads all your bookmarks to browser & make them available for search.
As I’m not so much into too much plug-ins, specially if they load lots of data (in contradiction to Pointy-haired Boss) , not to mention that I won’t need bookmarks when I’m offline, anyway, I decided I should create my search provider.
Away from the fact that I badly need a WYSIWYG code hi-lighter, let’s check that XML. First the ShortName which appears in your search box, something like this:
Description and Tags are obvious, & I think optional too.
Image is the small icon that appear beside when you select your provider (check the pic above again). You can either supply it as a URL to an image file (usually .ico or .png) or you can replace it with the base 64 string of the image (though I wasted quite sometime to make that work), like:
Finally, URL note that I’m using {SearchTerms} to pass the string typed in the search box. You can send other parameters to your search page. You might want add another URL for suggestions, here I’m only providing the search URL.
Adding it as a suggested search provider: This can be done by adding a single line in your page <Head> tag, note that the attribute title in the below tag refers to the name appearing in the list as [Add “title”], check the image below the tag.
Using JavaScript to add the provider: The other available option is to add the provider using scripting, here’s an eg of how you can do that:
Clicking a link like the one above will pop up a windows asking if you want to add the search provider.

Using the Provider:
To add the provider to your browser (as far as I’m concerned it works fine for Firefox & IE) you have one of two options:Adding it as a suggested search provider: This can be done by adding a single line in your page <Head> tag, note that the attribute title in the below tag refers to the name appearing in the list as [Add “title”], check the image below the tag.

Changing regional settings for System accounts (including ASPNET) in Windows 7
One of the small issues I faced while switching my development machine to windows 7 was a bug/exception in an application I was working on in parsing date format.
After switching my regional settings to the “expected” format, I still got the same exception. After playing a little with the regional settings, I realized that I was switching only my account date format, not the whole machine's date format. To push those settings to other system accounts (like ASPNET, etc), I did the following steps:
After setting your your account regional settings, switch to “Administrative” tab:
From “Welcome screen and new user accounts”, click “Copy setting”:
