For those of you with MSDN subscriptions the download is now active!

Here’s the official notice from Brain Harry with additional information here.

For the past week I’ve been doing my bit towards a tool built to support Sparx Systems’ EA UML modelling product. The tool adds a URL protocol handler (Windows machines only!) that will open a design artifact in an EA repository.

Canonic Labs wrote the original code but for some reason didn’t complete/release it. Upon request they recently open sourced what they’d done and I jumped at the chance to finish it off. I can now have links to EA artificats from TFS, Fogbugz, e-mails, etc. without having to create an EA shortcut file each time.

Keep an eye on the project site for details of the upcoming beta.

It’s been sat on the drive for ages so I thought I may as well let it go live. Check out the original post for the download link. If you have any issues let me know.

Over the weekend my hosting provider mailed me to say that the server my hosting was on had failed and some data was lost. Unfortunately they ended the rather brief e-mail with a blanket statement of ‘some accounts had to be reset so simply upload your website…’. To say I’m not at all impressed would be an understatement!

It’s taken several hours to re-upload it and it’s likely to be a couple more to ensure it’s all back as it should be. No content has been lost as I keep a backup of everything uploaded. Unfortunately I have lost some of the site’s configuration settings (such as the gallery and the forum integration) as I didn’t have a recent copy of the mySQL DB content.
