Call me Mr. Observant....but I just noticed that for some reason my VS2008 start page is set to some Sql Server Rss that contains REALLY out of date information (see:http://msdn.microsoft.com/sql/rss.xml)....so my question to you is what do you have as your start page RSS feed?  On another box I had the DotNetKicks feed...but I always got an error when I clicked on a link in that window so I stopped using it after a bit.

So I had my first chance to work with the DLR and LOLCODE today while for a lark I rewrote a solution to one of Windows Scripting Games event as highlighted on Scott Hanselman's blog.  To install the runtime requirements check out this page on Scott's blog.  I was struck by the power of the DLR while I was doing this.  I was also a little stymied in spots as LOLCODE and specificaly this implementation of LOLCODE isn't exactly well documented so I'm sure there's a lot of room for improvement here.  Anyway the challenge was to create a round-robin schedule for 6 teams, ensuring that each team played each other once and that one team didn't play a bunch of games in a row.  Here's the code or (HERE DA CODEZ):
