.NET Blogging in the UK
It's six months since I started to compile a list of .NET developers in the UK who blog. As a microcosm of the overall expansion of blogging, it's been an interesting experiment. The original list had just 17 names on it. As of today, I've recorded a total of 59 blogs on Microsoft development topics from UK-based authors - over treble the original number. We've also created a page on the Microsoft UK site with this information on to attract new visitors to your blogs. Some of these are new blogs, others are just recent discoveries. Still, this is a tiny number compared to the estimated 300,000 developers based in the UK.

A GMail alternative, today
GMail is annoying. In fact, it is very annoying. the “Wer'e cool” bunch have decided to “test” the service, and everyone is clamoring for a GMail account. Well, guess what Google? I just found a service which features:

1GM email (accessible through POP3)
100MB space for FTP and webdav access
Some more stuff. All free.
And it's available today. Don't be afraid of the name, either. It just means better graphics on the home page:
Give SpyMac a try and get your 1GB fix today.

If you cannot afford Newsgator, like me, join intraVnew bandwagon
I have heard of Newsgator long time, but never used it because I know I would have to pay for it any time. As I have had lot of problems with RSS Bandit's latest versions and because I already use Microsoft Outlook to access my hotmail account (http mail) and my yahoo mail account (through YahooPOPS), I googled for "+Outlook +RSS" and found an interesting, FREE Outlook RSS reader at http://www.intravnews.com/
Unfortunately, it does not integrate with w.bloggar nor have "post" feature built-in, but I guess I will find a way to workaround this. If you know of a way to, just drop me a line. -

How integrated should SQL Server security be?
I just had an email exchange with the famous Kimberly Tripp (who is rumored to be blogging soon, look out!) about best practices for setting up security architecture for distributed Web applications and services. My eyebrows were raised at some demo code I saw that used a hard-coded account for ASP.NET to impersonate: ...

How to sort an OPML file
I once sent an email to Aaron Skonnard asking him for help on how to sort an OPML file, which is an XML file in fact, but received no reply so far. Maybe he is a busy person or maybe my question was too dumb to answer. Anyway, today I found out how to sort the OPML file I export through RSS Bandit. I enclosed below the XSLT sheet I created, just for appreciation. Any comment is welcome.
