David Simmons explained how the 'disconnected mode' works today in Entity Framework (and as far as I know, that's the way it will work in the Orcas release).

The wizards from Clarius released a 'Software Factories Toolkit' to help you building DSL/GAX-based tools.

Himalia looks very very interesting. It's built with Visual Studio DSL tools. It lets you model a UI based on Use Cases, Navigation Models and Presentation Models.

Just in case you never heard of Amazon EC2, go here first.

Last week my notebook's hard drive failed. All the data was lost. A couple of months before, I've subscribed to an online backup service, Carbonite. I was able to recover all the data I cared for, so that's why I'm recommending it.

Basically, you pay $5/month regardless the space you use.You select the folders you want to back up, and it backs them up silently when you connect to the internet. You can suspend the backup process if you need to use your bandwidth for something else.

Use this link to download a free 15-day trial subscription to Carbonite, and get an extra free month of service when you buy (and 3 months free for myself;) : http://www.carbonite.com/raf/signup.aspx?RAFUserUID=2508&a=0
