And suddenly, everything clicks
It's 2:37AM MST. I'm sitting here, continuing my quest to refactor GenX.NET. Just when I thought my code couldn't get any cleaner, it got cleaner. Not only did I remove my dependence on specific ADO.NET Providers, which eliminated nearly 1000 lines of redundant code. Not only did I move my output system to an "Output Provider" architecture.

Remapping ASP.NET Runtime Versions in IIS6
Earlier last month I saw someone complain that you could no longer use aspnet_regiis in Windows Server 2003 running IIS6. Having just repaved both my employer's and my personal machine to run WS2K3, and installed VSNET2002 and VSNET2003 SxS, I can gladly say that this is not the case.
