OK. Yesterday i got 6 more invites. I told people if they wanted one they would have to put a link on their site and then email me. a lot of people just posted comments, so your not getting any! the people who missed my last gmail account givaway, 2 of them, have gotten their accounts, which leaves me with 4. so what do i do with the 4 accouts. well i donated them to http://www.freegmailinvites.com/. Go there, sign up, login and play. Good luck! ohhh and a note for those of you who posted comments on my site and left email addresses in them, not smart! ever here of spam bots? thats why i was saying to email me and post a link on a blog. ahhh well, you cant blame me, and im not deleting them cause there are too many and im lazy.... I HAVE NO MORE INVITES! LEAVE ME ALONE!

Ok. you can stop your linking, unless you dont want to! :) unfortunitly im all out of Gmail invites for today. I have none LEFT! Leave me alone! i have gotten a load of comments asking for some, and i have none left. go to www.freegmailinvites.com and you could win one. i dont have any so dont ask!
Not sure how handy this is for others, but i have found a very cool use for it!
This code allows you to connect to an active directory and find out what the full name of a user is. I have been using this for customization on an intranet site im building. So now when you visit the front page, you can see your full name and not just your username. handy, or at least i though it was!
Check out http://www.freechartdownload.com/. they have a free developer edition of their charting software for you to download. i want to play with charting, just because i, well, want to, so this is a handy thing to play with. more then likly theres some limitations of what you can and cant do with the software (distrobution is out of the question i would say). great for learning and testing though! [update] I have been asked what is meant by "Developer Edition". On the download page of the product, the following is stated:
Thank you for your interest in .netCHARTING Enterprise Edition. We currently have a fully functional free developers version available for immediate download. Latest update 4/14/04.
So, thats what "Developer Edition" means. I have not tried this my self yet, but will. more info when i check it out.
I found a bug in
RSSAgg today. For some reason when the first post is shown (which now is a mob blog post) it is shown before everything else and the date is set as now or when ever the dataset was created. so even if there are newer posts, the last post from the mob blog is shown first. I have to fix this soon, so 0.04 will be up tonight. BTW, the version numbers are slightly off since i just started calling it a number since, well, a few days ago!
This post over at Sunitc's weblog has info on how to send email from .NET. This is handy for, well, sending email, but also for a project im working on too.
