I suppose I really should make absolutely certain I have links to NUnit and NUnitAddIn conveniently located somewhere on my Blog. I'l put them both here and in my links. That should do it! If you have not been using NUnit, start now!

The Resource Discovery Network is just one useful site mentioned in Honing Your Web Searching Skills, a post at Search Engine Watch. While this post points to some cool tutorials on searching the Web and digging into the "hidden web," or "Invisible Web", the key infopoint here is that Search Engine Watch now has an RSS feed 
for our enjoyment and edification.

An amusing and interesting article, The Lazy Programmer, on Eli Robillard's World of Blog outlines four "forms" or "orders" of lazification. Robillard states, "Seeking the lazy path will make you a better programmer," but please note that he is talking about "long range laziness," not the kind that finds us sleeping at our cubes. The basic principle is one sometimes called "parsimony," and is responsible for most of natural design, including that of such architectural wonders as soap bubbles and seashells. Robillard's short weblog entry makes for thought-provoking reading.

I found yet another Windows tip I did not know in Richard Birkby's Explorer column handler shell extension in C# article at The Code Project:
Finally, if you want to restart an instance of Windows Explorer, you should use the official way to shut down Explorer, rather than killing it from Task Manager! To shut down officially, hit Start->Shutdown (or Turn Off Computer on Windows XP), then while holding the control shift and alt keys, click cancel on the shutdown dialog. To start a new instance of Windows Explorer, bring up Task Manager by holding the control and shift keys, then hit escape. In Task Manager, choose File->New Task and enter "Explorer.exe". This will have restarted Windows Explorer properly.

The Semantic World site, targeted at "The Data Semantics Community," has some great resources for topics related to the Semantic Web. One example is this featured article,
Where to Find Ontologies, which led me so some neat ontology sites I missed -- as well as some old favorites. Semantic World also has a specific Semantic Web Section.
