Quicktime standalone without iTunes download

Posted December 7, 2005 * Comments(3)

I just reinstalled my machine recently and have not five minutes ago tried to run an mov file for the first time since.

Went to download Quicktime from Apple and it forces you to also download iTunes. Now iTunes isn’t evil I use it on Mac Mini, but if you do not want it or need it then why download it?

Found it here.

*update*

Now forwards you to: http://www.apple.com/quicktime/download/win.html where you have a choice of with or without iTunes.

Refactoring and Renaming in Visual Studio 2005

Thank you Microsoft. I am finding the renaming feature in VS2005 so very very useful.

I just renamed a namespace in a class I’d just created for a new project, basically just adding a company name before the product name. The Rename feature changed all the other namespace declarations in the whole project seamlessly, the default form and program.cs file that had been created and even the default namespace in the project properties had been changed.

Nice.
