The names have changed
I recently read here about the name changes given to Indigo and Avalon. From now on...

CodeHeads
I haven't even finished watching Billy Hollis' GrokTalk but I've gotta link to it. Not only does it provide a good dose of comic relief but it drives homes an important point. There are a number of interesting videos there actually. I just watched Jon Goodyear's talk on Master Pages, too.

What do you look for in O/R Mappers for .NET?
I figured I might as well write another feedback gathering post for O/R Mappers for .NET while I'm at it. Once the first draft of my .NET Charting Component guide goes off to the editor I'll start focusing on the O/R Mapper for .NET Guide. So - any experiences evaluating O/R Mappers for .NET and what features sold you on one in particular (if that was the case). I know that asking questions similar to "which O/R Mapper is best" often ignite religious debates in some comment threads so if you can please - keep from turning comments here into that. I'm looking for objective opinions and opinions backed with actual experience.

What do you look for in .NET Charting Components?
As some of you might remember hearing, I'm writing a How-To-Select Guide on .NET Charting Components. My first draft deadline is approaching fast - this Wednesday actually. I've written most of the content but I thought maybe I could collect some valuble feedback here on my blog also since the primary readership is developers.

How-To-Select Guides - A Great Idea
Some of you have probably seen some mentions recently of Xtras new How-To-Select Guides popping up here and there. Well, here's another one. I believe these guides are going to be really useful, to developers or anyone else that has to go figure out which components have the features they require for their software. I know I've had to do it on several occasions in my career. It seems like just as you've settled on which component you are going to go with, you buy it, ....and then discover a component that would have been better suited for the job. These guides should help keep that from happening to you. I can't think of anyone better suited to run something like this than a company like Xtras, either.

Want to speed up your MSDN Downloads?
If you're an MSDN subscriber and have ever tried to download a huge set of files, I'm sure you know how long it can take when you're only getting about 25kbps speed from Microsoft's MSDN Subscriber Downloads. The problem is, you may be hitting a non-US mirror site. So, here's a way to speed things up a bit.

Another article got published & DevCampus coming along
I guess this a two-subject post. Hopefully I'll start having more to blog about.

Pacific.NET ?
I'm thinking of starting up a .NET Users Group for the San Joaquin County area since Bay.NET and Sacto.NET are both at least an hour drive away.

So this isn't really a post bashing XHTML but I do have a question that hopefully someone can help me with.

Master Pages in ASP.NET 2.0 simply a declarative approach?
Most of the time, the articles mentioned in the .NET Insight newsletter that Fawcette sends out don't attract my attention much. Today's had a few articles on Master Pages in ASP.NET 2.0 so I decided to give them a look since I've been somewhat curious about how Master Pages are going to work.
