Apparently Kerry has called President Bush to concede the election.   Kerry is expected to address the nation around 1pm EST.

I have been setting up projects under CruiseControl.NET and it has been a fantastic experience.  Now that CruiseControl.NET supports multiple projects, it is flexible enough to support our very complex projects.  I will try to post some examples for those getting started with complex projects so that you don't have to go through my initial pain of getting everything setup.

Wow, what an election!  I stayed up until 1:30 when Ohio was called for Bush by Fox Network.  Since I had to get up for work at 5:30am, it is going to be a long day, but it was worth it!  I'm sure that unless Kerry concedes defeat, this will get all dragged out in the courts again, but I am confident that the result will be the same.

Congratulations to the Boston Red Sox for breaking the "curse" and winning the World Series last night! 

For those of you who are familiar with Axosoft's defect tracking software, OnTime 2004, you might want to get your copies in the next couple of days before the price increase goes into effect on November 1st.

Any other bloggers going to the SDExpo conference in Boston next week?

The last release of log4net was 1.2.0 Beta 8, released in July 2003.  Now I know that a lot of things have been changed in the code.  I am just wondering how long we have to wait for another release?

I am working on a project that requires us to have a web browser embedded in our windows application.  This is relatively easy to do if you are using the load to bring in an external URL or a URL pointing to temp file.  But I wanted to be able to use an XSLT stylesheet and transform some xml into HTML, without saving to a temp file.  I found you are able to use the GetBody and change the innerHTML of that element, but you can't change anything above body.   (I want to change the inner/outer HTML of the Document.)

I always use XPCreate to a Windows XP CD/DVD with all the drivers/software/settings that I like so that when (not if) I rebuild my machine, I always have the latest service packs and hotfixes slipstreamed into my DVD.

I haven't been posting like I've wanted to but I am going to make a new effort to post more.  We'll see.

After plowing through tons of blog postings after getting my computer up and running again, I spotted this one.

MSDN Subscribers can now download Visual Studio 2005 Community Technology Preview.

After reading Rob Howard's post, his MSDN article, and the reply from Nick Berardi, I decided to make a few comments.
The framework that I have started testing and using is from Deyan Petrov's Data Access & Transaction Handling Framework that he posted on Code Project.

After reading Scoble's review on Onfolio, I downloaded it and tried it out.  Very cool!  As someone who's favorites folder is huge and wildly out of control, this will be a real live saver!  I can't say that I expect any less from JJ & Jeremy Allaire.  I used to work for Allaire (now Macromedia) while I lived in Boston and it was one of the best experiences of my life.  They came out with products that their customers wanted instead of trying to force what they wanted on their customers.  I also saw that Charles Teague, my former boss, is one of the co-founders at Onfolio.  Fantastic work guys!
