For full details check Scott's announcement DasBlog 1.9.7 Release - Final ASP.NET 1.1 Version

This will be the last version written for dot net 1.1 and the blog engine that could will move off to the richer 2.0 class library.  The next milestone will be DasBlog 2.0 which will be compiled under Visual Studio 2005 ( One could use Orcas) and run in medium trust environments.  This should allow for DasBlog to run in most hosted environments.

I noticed today that RealPlayer is now part of the Google Pack.  All the Proof I need that Google is now more evil then Microsoft.

The IEBlog posted a short list of Web Development Tools for Internet Explorer and demo videos.  Most of the tools are free but not all.  I've used Nikhil’s Web Development Helper and IE Developer Toolbar but I still find The web developer tool bar and FireBug for FireFox to be a much better set of WebDev tools.  also on the list is Fiddler but this works for both browsers.

http://www.freepatentsonline.com/6401597.html

Abstract:

A filter paper roll support apparatus for a coffee vending machine, having a fixed arm and a pivotable arm spaced from the fixed arm for supporting opposite ends of a support roll on which the paper roll is mounted for rotation.

A spacing element is formed in each of the arms to engage the opposite sides of a roll of filter paper to keep it from rubbing on the main bodies of the arms.

Microsoft's SoftGrid Video

With Microsoft SoftGrid Application Virtualization, you can turn Windows applications into centrally managed, virtual services that are never installed, and can be instantly streamed to any desktop or laptop. In this one-hour video, learn how SoftGrid's virtualization technology can simplify desktop administration by automating processes for deploying, patching, updating, and terminating applications. It is now easier—and requires fewer IT resources—to address complex critical business projects such as OS and application migrations, security refreshes, and disaster recovery plans.

 

 

As an ISV I am trying to think how I could leverage this to ease my deployments.

This old code is now back up and running on thisoldcode.microfisch.com its old home where 99% of the perma links exist.  It turns out I had tried redirecting with a CName and this caused an issue with the forwarding.  If the Godaddy tech that I waited on for 5 hours bothered to look at the site settings rather then telling me to wait 48 hours I would have been up faster.  Why offer support if you just brush people off.  You only anger your customers that know it doesn't really take 48 hours to update DNS and if you ping the site and it resolves something is not right.  What ever happened to customer service?  I will be calling support from now on.
