LogMeIn.com
I am behind a NAT at office and at home and needed a way of remote controlling my machine at home from office. I knew of GotoMyPC, but opted by a FREE similar one called LogMeIn.com. With LogMeIn.com I got the functionality I needed and for FREE.

That's why I love Textpad and regular expressions
Suppose you have a lot of ALTER TABLE statements, like the one below (I actually had 30+) and you find out you must delete inconsistent data on child table before procceeding on constraint creation.
ALTER TABLE dbo.ChildTable ADD CONSTRAINT FK_ChildTable_ParentTable FOREIGN KEY (ChildField) REFERENCES dbo.ParentTable (ParentField) GO
What would you do? Manually add a DELETE statement before each ALTER table statement? No, in my case, I used Textpad and regular expressions. You can check just below
Find: ALTER TABLE[ ]+\(.+\)\n[ ]+ADD CONSTRAINT[ ]+\(.+\)\n[ ]+FOREIGN KEY[ ]+(\(.+\))\n[ ]+REFERENCES[ ]+\(.+\)[ ]+(\(.+\))\nGO\n
Replace with: DELETE \1\nFROM \1\n LEFT JOIN\n \4 ON \1.\3 = \4.\5\nWHERE \1.\3 IS NOT NULL AND \4.\5 IS NULL\nGO\n\n&\n
and then I got a pair of SQL statements for each ALTER TABLE, like the one belowDELETE dbo.ChildTable FROM dbo.ChildTable LEFT JOIN dbo.ParentTable ON dbo.ChildTable.ChildField = dbo.ParentTable.ParentField WHERE dbo.ChildTable.ChildField IS NOT NULL AND dbo.ParentTable.ParentField IS NULL GO ALTER TABLE dbo.ChildTable ADD CONSTRAINT FK_ChildTable_ParentTable FOREIGN KEY (ChildField) REFERENCES dbo.ParentTable (ParentField) GO -
Fotovision
From the capable group at Vertigo Software (the same folks who produced the venerable IBuySpy and Quake II .NET) comes FotoVision, a suite of applications that allow you to organize and manipulate digital photos and share them on a web site. A full Windows Forms desktop client is provided, along with an ASP.NET web site that exposes some Web Services, and a Pocket PC application that leverages the .NET Compact Framework. Additionally, there are a number of good white papers that explain the architecture and technology behind the solutions. And if that isn’t enough, the full source code for all three applications is provided in Visual Basic .NET (included in the installation).

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. -

Why RSS aggregators do not use feed's title atribute from OPML file?
I have tried Bloglines.com (http://www.bloglines.com/public/LucianoEvaristoGuerche), Sauce Reader, Newsgator and some others RSS aggregators and all of them do not use feed's title atribute from OPML file. Why do they go this way? They should at least give user a choice, to decide which title to use, from OPML file or from feed. I prefer having: Microsoft :: Regional Directors Michele Leroux Bustamante - San Diego, California, USA than Microsoft :: Regional Directors dasBlonde What do you folks think about?

First post using w.bloggar
After posting a reply to Roy Osherove's Returning to RSS bandit and a couple of requests, I googled a little and found some ways to post to .Text at Desktop Blogging by Scott Watermasysk, the creator of .Text. This moment I am trying w.bloggar, a freeware tool developed by a brazilian guy, Marcelo Cabral. I am also interested in the mentioned plug-in to SharpReader and RSS Bandit, since I am a RSS Bandit user, but could not get to it, since http://www.sharpreader.net/ seems to be unavailable so far.
