ScottW does service based aggregation
ScottW talks about a small project he whipped up to do background aggregation of news feeds. This is way cool. I had done something similar many moons ago to keep my SharpReader .opml files in sync and to provide myself a mobile view of the feeds from my phone. Well lo' and behold someone has got one up and running. I give you Myblogroll.com. This site shows some good promise and it gets +1 on the Office2k3 look.

I maybe going dark soon due to some swirling mass of clouds/rain/flying items and I thought about posting something about it but my friends have said it better.

If a tornado drops you off in Oz, where would a hurricane drop you off? Probably somewhere in North Dakota.

MSDN Mag Oct.
The upcoming MSDN Mag has a featured article by Marco Bellinaso on developing your own ASP.Net blogging application. He says he couldn't find pre-built ASP.Net code for one at the time of writing the article so I wonder if the source for .Text had been released. He even has the code running his own blog.

I've been reading this for the better part of an hour. It's bascially a bunch of stupid press releases that aren't not intended to be stupid.

Altova 2004 lineup.
For those of you that use XMLSpy and other Altova products you will be happy to hear that the 2004 versions of the products have been released along with a new product called MapForce. Here is the marketing blurb about it.
mapforce 2004 is a new visual data mapping tool for advanced data integration projects. mapforce 2004 auto-generates custom mapping code in XSLT and Java*, to enable programmatic XML-to-XML or Database-to-XML data transformations. All transformations are available in one Design: multiple sources and multiple targets can be mixed without limitations, and a rich and extensible function library provides support for any kind of data manipulation.
Downloading this now to check it out. C# and C++ code output they say will be added later this year.
