I found sad that a lot of hotfixes are provided by Microsoft only if you request them... by phone !!

I am sure if I count the number of patches available around I can create a .Net 1.2 easily.

So this is a call to the .Net team to create a clear update to fix all the things done by hotfixes. It would also make the patches more official.

It's going to be a while before Whidbey, so I supose it makes sense to have something before.

XHTML compliance could be one of this, maybe I can dream but Request Validation feature turned off by default 

Codeguru has a new design, quite nice and of course a lot of articles.

Not really geeky but good fun :-))

A new technology to change a printing image on a billboard with the weather dry or not :-))

I wish I could see some improvements in the future version of SQL Server and .Net about their dependances.

I try to explain. In SQL Server if something happen to one of your database, whatever the catching error system you implement, you finish all the time by broken your beloved .Net application.

Funny post from Paul. Welcome to Kafka land :-)

Paul Vick started a thread to provide a better understanding on a bug Roy mentioned earlier.

Very interesting, the first part is about background compilation.

This is great news for Ireland and Education (and also good one for my agency).

The Government announced yesterday the agreement to provide Broadband access for all Irish schools !

The but on this story is the blur surrounding the applications around this. The thing I am sure enough is that the site Scoilnet I developed will surely be upgraded to include more 'heavy' content like videos or live conferences.

The other good thing is the project to provide each school with a website (imagine something like 4000 .Net websites!).

But I am a bit concern about the OS schools will implement. The person here in charge of the project (and of course not an IT :-( ) seem to push too quickly on a sort of Linux platform.

Help Microsoft ! I don't want to be a Linux developer :-))

I disagree in the sense that no really technical analysis has been done on the feasibility and the support of such a project like that. We talk here about 4200 schools !

Thankfully I know that Microsoft are on the ranks for this project, and I hope we can have at the end the same infrastructure they were able to build in Northern Ireland.
