New CSverter build (50301) - Fixes for Single Blogs
Lots of people have been having problems getting CSverter to work for single blog configurations. With the help of a couple people, I figured out why, and have coded a fix for it. This version also fixes some problems with the web service, and has cleaner logging. The logging and UI status updates are very complex, and are still undergoing refinement.

Announcing CSverter 1.0 -> .Text 0.95 to CommunityServer Conversion Wizard
First off, I wanted to thank Jayson Knight for his help with this project. Without the source for his DotTextCS project, this would not have been possible. Also thanks to Divelements, whose WizardControl WinForms component made it easier for me to build this app.

Arrived in SanFran - Ready for VSLive
Just got into town. I'm staying at the Hotel Palomar with the rest of the speakers, and it should be a grand old time. I don't have pictures yet, but will post soon. If you wanna get a hold of me, my cell is 480-580-2726. I won't have it for a couple hours while it's charging, but leave me a message and we'll hook up.

.NET Framework / Visual Studio Fixes Coming Next Week
According to News.com, 13 patches for Microsoft products are being released on February 8th. One fixes a "critical" flaw in Visual Studio and Office, and one is for an "important" vulnerability in the .NET Framework. I don't have any details on what these flaws are, but I guess we'll have to find out on Tuesday.

Google Video Search
Have you seen Google's new Video Search? I heard about it the other day, so having just finished this week's episode of 24, I decided to try it out. Pretty cool, but I want video playback, not transcripts. I can see how this would be helpful though. It could be huge for students and research if it could index local newscasts as well. I wonder how they index the video, anyways... voice recognition? Hmm...

'rel="nofollow"' WILL NOT Stop Comment Spam
I've seen a lot of posts in the last 24 hours about Google's new rel="nofollow" attribute on hyperlinks. Both Neowin and Google claim that this method will stop comment spam. I cannot stress enough that this viewpoint is absolutely incorrect. An attribute will not stop comment spammers at all. The only thing that the attribute does is stop the Google indexer from adding google-juice to the link. That's it. The link is still there for the users on the site itself, and if you run a .Text blog, you'll still get bombarded with e-mails every time a new comment is posted.
