Richard's Rant

Links for Thursday 17 January 2008

• A new release of Spring.NET which brings AOP to .NET
• A new version of Sandcastle is out
• Sun aquires MySQL
• Apocolyptic scenarios for the day
• Interesting article on how to write a book
• Once again, we here in the Southern Hemisphere miss out on new services. *sigh*. I love this country, but I despair sometimes at being the last to see new products and services (To be fair though, maybe the service sucks a bit, but that is not the point)
• Yet another new battery claiming to outlast the rest
• A nice comparison of the new Apple Air with other slim notebooks
• Microsoft have fianlly made the source code for the .NET framework available to those using Visual Studio 2008. Just a bit of a bummer that they can't do it for Visual Studio 2005
• We finally see the other side of Mercury.
• A Time Capsule from 1791 found.
• Heh heh. I so want one of these.
• I really really like the second one. Here's to the power of the cyclists!
  
• So you want to live for 800 years?
• That's it. The world is over. A live action Dragonball movie. I am shuddering already.
• I just love the internet. That dipstick Corey has generated a lot of response from people. Here is one I particularly like. (He epitomises the current youth culture of "Y should I do anyfink?")
• Uberutils blog posts. Very useful
• Nice post about how to achieve goals from jean-Paul S. Boodhoo. In short, nothing comes easily for most of us. We have to work at it, which is something that I am going to do this year.
• A good set of articles on SharePoint authentication. A must read, as it is a complicated subject.
• A good article on how to make documentation for a web site using SandCastle
