SharpDevelop2 LGPL'd, can now be used in Closed Source Apps
The SharpDevelop project switched
licenses with the 2.0 release in December from
GPL to LGPL. That means you can use the components in own applications, both
open and closed source. Unlike the GPL, you can statically or dynamically link
to LGPL
code from open or closed source applications as long as you don't make any
changes to the LGPL'd code. This goes against the goals of the
Free Software Foundation, but he who writes the code picks the license. -
Using Markup Based Javascript Effect Libraries to make dynamic sites in standards compliant HMTL

Understanding how Google rankings have changed after the "Jagger" algorithm update (or, Enter the Trustbox)
Google rankings have a huge impact on internet usage, both for content providers and consumers, so I think it's a good idea to understand how that first page of results are selected. Top listing on Google can make or break a company, but it can also determine which articles you read on a topic, which shapes your thoughts. In other words, I think this is important stuff to understand.

DOS format file (XSHD) for SharpDevelop, IMHO Instant Blogger, etc.
I use IMHO Instant Blogger to edit and post blog articles. One of my favorite features is the code snippet editor. It's built on the SharpDevelop text editor, which has support for language syntaxes which are defined in xml syntax highlight definitions (XSHD's). It's a nice way to show color coded source code on a web page.1
