Multicentrix: An Enterprise Information Framework
I am exploring a new enterprise information management tool, Multicentrix, which is conceived by one of its designers as "a multidimensional virtual mindmap represented by lists and XML documents." It is an interesting approach and worth examining. In a previous incarnation, Multicentrix was known as InfoMap but has evolved substantially from that point of origin. Multicentric Technology Sdn Bhd, the company responsibile for Multicentrix, has kindly made its product available to members of the Minciu Sodas Laboratory, which is "an open laboratory for serving and organizing independent thinkers."

Protege-2000
I want to put in a plug for all of the hard work being done on Protege, an Open Source ontology editor and knowledge-base editor. The Protege Website also has a great list of example ontologies and other useful references related to Ontologies and the Semantic Web.

[Languages] Book: Python Web Programming
I just posted a link to Steve Holden's Python Web Programming. If you're interested in using Python for Web work, I think you'll find it a great single-volume kick-starter.

Steve put a *lot* of tasty stuff in this software chef's manual for baking world-class gourmet .py!

[Languages] LtU: The Programming Languages Weblog
For those who have not yet really explored it, one of my favorite language-oriented sites is Lambda the Ultimate, which does include some .NET content. Also, LtU has a new Cross-language runtimes department that explores CLR, CLI, and CLS issues. LtU is a community Weblog that sports input from quite a few Lisp, Scheme, Haskell, SML, and other functional-language gurus, although the site has become much more general in recent years. This one belongs in your feed list, so here is the LtU RSS feed.

[Tools] .NET Command Prompt for Windows Explorer
NOTE (20040705): The originally posted link, below, was broken, and has been removed, so go Daniel Cazzulino's post, Automatic VS.NET Command Prompt, for the best place to find command prompt registry files. It looks like Scott Bellware has a new weblog, named, appropriately, Scott Bellware's Weblog. His old "site seems to be permanently gone.

Unology Universe
Recently, I created Unology Universe as the current Website for Unology, "the science and study of unity in all of its forms," a thinking project and research area I founded in 1986. Anyone interested in unity is invited to become a unologist and perform unological research. Enjoy!

Read RSS Feeds On A Webpage
At [Sellsbrothers:Managing Editor], Chris Sells reports a new Web-based interface to read RSS feeds at [PerfectXML:RSSConnect]. The best thing about Chris's post is that it led me to PerfectXML, which is a really cool XML site.

Compiling Imatix RealiBase for .NET
After a painful attempt to compile Imatix RealiBase under .NET myself, I discovered that John Lam and Andy Hopper were there before me and have produced a blog entry containing the necessary spells and incantations: iunknown.com:Code generation with GSLgen: Step 0 .
