Unofficial blogs.gotdotnet.com main feed!
<quote>
Well rather then complain about the lack of a main feed for http://blogs.gotdotnet.com/ I decided to code up a little app to create a feed. The current feed only includes the blogs running BlogX so guys like Don Box are currently not included. I'll write more about how I created the main feed as well as release the source for the feed creator in a later post. For the time being point your aggregators over to http://www.emxtechnologies.com/gotdotnet-blogs/mainfeed.xml and let me know what you think!

Alternatively you could choose to add the namespace to your declaration: Private r As System.Xml.XmlReader. Since we are all developers, why not develop something to help developers with this tedious task of namespace lookups?

Remembering code snippets (eg. Global Error Handler)
Today I was searching for a code snippet that I had used some time ago. But I couldn't find it! I knew I had used it before in a project, but ofcourse I hadn't the source code with me. I work on different locations (customer's office, office, home) on different machines (customer's pc, laptop, desktop) and I don't copy all my projects to each pc. My next thought was: “No problem, just use Google!”. But when you really want to find something, the chances are high that you can't remember the exact title of the article or website you've read (Murphy's law). So no luck with Google today. Finally I went home and looked up the snippet in my old project...
