Projects

This Extension will rename attachments. Here is more info regarding the Extension. http://zenit.senecac.on.ca/wiki/index.php/User:Rename_Attachment

0.2 Attachment Reminder

Hot Hot Hot Hot Bug!!! This feature will remind user to attach attachments. So, no more "Sorry, I forgot the attachments. Here it is. Sorry, ..." !

0.3 Attachment Reminder

Just going to expand more features on Attachment Reminder Bug. Make it more user friendly. One of the ways to make it user friendly is to allow user to add new keywords which Thunderbird will look for in the body of the email.

Labs

Lab 1: Course introduction & Lab2: Collaborative and Community Development Practices & Lab3: Managing and Building large source trees

Honestly, I have done these 3 Labs but I don't have any proof for it. It is obvious that I have done Lab1 because everybody can read my blogs online. In addition with Lab1, I have done lab2 and Lab3. Without doing these labs, I would not be able to even survive in the course. I think, My survival in the course proves that I have done Lab1, Lab2 and Lab3.

Lab 4: Building Thunderbird on Vista with Visual Studio 2008

I have blogged about it on my blog page. If you want help or reference, you can go to the link below and look at it.
