It's another jam-packed week, if you're at any of these upcoming events, be sure to say hi.

I'm trying to shake a cold, so what follows may be entirely the result of too much cough medicine. Someone asked what to expect from SPS in the Office 12 timeframe, and the fact is that not much was announced at PDC. There was OFF313: Web Content Management Application Development and Engine Extensibility, and. . . that was about it. I wasn't in on the TAP and I'm not under any NDAs with the SharePoint team, so there's no time like now to walk the plank and speculate.

Wouldn't it be great if you could launch a web server on any folder just by right-clicking? Robert McLaws built a utility that does just that. This will be one of those "how'd I live without it" tools for ASP.NET v2 (Whidbey) development and testing. Thanks Robert!

Thanks again to Graham for asking us to present, the audience for showing up, and to Ali for co-presenting with me at the Metro Toronto .Net User Group last night.

I'm back at the Metro Toronto .NET User Group tomorrow night where I'll be co-presenting with Ali Kheradvar.

The other day I read this: "Now, they make a big deal out of the "interactive menus," but I was working under the impression that all menus were interactive, like when you go into a restaurant and point to where it says "steak," it shows up a little later and then you eat it. Now that's interactive." [Red Green, Ardmoreite.com article, may require free registration]

If saying "F*** off Clippy" actually closed Clippy, would you have kept Clippy enabled?
