I wonder if things like my favourite publisher going under are part of natures scheme of things, like forest fires bringing renewal to the natural landscape?

http://www.MsWebDev.org.uk/ - the community for UK ASP/ASP.NET web developers is live and running :OD

Tim wants to know if there is any ASP.NET RSS Aggregators out there. I collect some RSS news feeds at http://www.chrisg.org/ using a simple ASP.NET user control of my own making. If anyone here wants a free copy (usually retails at $20 or so from the fine http://deviq.com/ store) just give me a shout.

Customers in Scotland are going to get broadband through their electrical sockets, maybe one day I will be able to get broadband after all :O)

Along with the rest of the ASPAlliance I have contributed to the ASP.NET Cookbook, which I hear is finally finished all but the shouting :O)

So we finally get 3g in the UK. What I want to know is how much it will cost for data - is it possibly a way for me to get any sort of broadband connection out where I live?

We launched the UK MS web developers list and so far it has been a great success :O) Already loads of subscribers and some good conversations. I look forward to what we can do with this, I think it has a potential to be a really cool, friendly community.

I have been talking to Phil and Ollie about forming a UK developers discussion group. We want to build a group for discussion, networking, chatting, mutual-help and general "stuff" to build and grow the community in the UK.
