Just noticed on Scott W's site, hidden in one of the comments is a link to a project called Syndicache, this is a stunningly interesting idea. What this seems to provide is a method of using NNTP as a central aggregator for RSS feeds, have a look here for an…

More for an academic exercise on the workings of .TEXT than anything else, this site now has a search function (really very simple to implement - please contact me if you want the source...). Anyway, not perfect as yet...but I'll fix it when I have time.
How do you enable caching for the RSS control? Well, in the RssDisplay.ascx, add the following line after the <%@ Page%>declaration: <%@ OutputCache Duration="1200" VaryByParam="none"%> This will cache the output (and therefore, the webrequest to the rss feed)…
Just noticed this, not due for a few months yet - the OQO Personal Computer, not overly powered (a Transmeta 1GHZ processor, 256MB Ram and 20GB hard drive). But this might JUST provide a way to have a full Windows XP experience on the move (Pocket PC just…
I think I'm going through one of my bi-annual mid-life crises again. I really should be sleeping, I have a hospital appointment in the morning (just a diabetic clinic followup thing - 10 minutes and a lecture about my diet...great fun - and eerily similar to…
I have downloaded and installed an interesting application - BlogJet. It's a Windows-client for my blog tool (as well as some for other tools). Actually, it was not me who wrote this text: when I launched BlogJet for the first time, it's edit window already…
OK, maybe someone 'in the know' can settle this, is it possible to upload large files efficiently purely using ASP.NET? I've been following a threadin the ASP.NET forums about providing a method to do this using HttpHandlers / Modules to do this. What confuses…
Well, spent the weekend working again - had a sudden stroke of inspiration about a work project, much refactoring later, I have a more stable and flexible implementation. I may write about this in more detail at a later date, got some pretty cool stuff going…
One thing that really puzzles me in the ASP.NET forums (apart from having to be moderated...which is a whole other story) is that practically everyone seems hell-bent on using the DataGrid. Why? What am I missing; I VERY rarely need to use a DataGrid, a…
OK umm, actually quite embarassed about this one...I just discovered this was possible...so I can emit a bit of Javascript which lets me disable validation on a control when some condition is met here's this bit from MSDN: Client-Side APIs Some additional…
Sorry, ADSL is playing up again, please keep trying if you're having problems...
Pretty amazing track from Rory Blyth - man I wish had musical talent of any kind; well, I sing but a monkey can sing...not very well, and it obviously appeals most to other monkies...but well, you get the idea...
Rory Blyth- you are my one true god - for this post alone (and having the funniest Techie blog on the planet): Went to the blogger BOF tonight, and all I can say is that I'd like to flush this whole Atom vs. RSS debate down the toilet and do something more…
To cut a long story very short, I've always had a problem in accessing Windows Update from behind my Linksys BEFVP41 VPN router (which otherwise is excellent); well, I had to reinstall my main PC over the past couple of days (hence the lack of posts) and this…
I've been a fan ofASPToday for a while, but some very odd things are going on there at the moment...first is the sporadic downtime the site is having, then there's the distinct paucity of articles recently, they had a run with great new articles - then they…
Just discovered this after reareading one of my old posts ... which is in itself a reporting of Scott Hanselamn's Power tools list, a fantastic, very varied list of .NET tools and samples from those nice folks at Developmentor...way to may useful things to…
Been playing a little with my little stats app over this weekend, decided to add a little MSN-like notification function - this was made incredibly simple with this, a wonderful control by John O'Byrne which allows you to use any bmp file for a notification…
I've written about it before - but Spamnet is just the greatest email tool ever! Now they've finally released a version for Outlook Express! If you never want to see spam again, just get it - you'll have more that 500000 PEOPLE filtering out spam for you - no…
Here it is - look familiar? Oh, and the Soviet Version (which was such a close rip-off that it even copied some odd little bolt holes left over in the original Concorde design). I love this quote about Concorde from here: 'Still trying to convince the public…
One of my colleagues, Jonny Anderson pointed out these really useful web service tools on GotDotNet, the Web Service Studio Tool is just remarkably useful for debugging and otherwise playing around with Web Services...
