Clearing Local DNS Cache in Windows

August 30th, 2004

I was having some trouble reaching a host (whose IP I had just changed) because Windows was caching the resolution of the name.  One little call to ipconfig fixed it:
ipconfig /flushdns

Exporting Font and Color setting in Visual Studio

August 10th, 2004

Not too long ago I got another computer for development @ work and needed an easy way to copy my font and color settings from my one machine to the other.  The solution?
Export the  [HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\VisualStudio\7.1\FontAndColors] key from your registry and copy to your second computer.  Double-click to apply and walla! 
Much easier than the manual way.
