Got this link from mr. bolton.
If you just can't wait until Longhorn comes out to get the sidebar, here is an app that looks and acts very much like the sidebar in Longhorn. It is freeware.

As part of the move toward extreme programming, I have been working over the last several weeks to finalize the automated builds for Fuzion. I am using nAnt to do my builds and I have to say that it is a very powerful little program. I have the build scripts compiling all of the Fuzion projects (8 in all), creating all of the database scripts from the sql scripts stored in CVS, creating a test database using the db scripts created, running all of our nUnit test, and then creating a zip file for distribution.

Found this in one of the blogs that I monitor. The video that is linked near the bottom of the page is pretty funny. So for folks like d1 who hate those low flow toilets and wish for a better toilet, here you go.

Tools sounds pretty cool if you want to know what network traffic is coming in and out of your machine.
Port Reporter and Port Reporter Parser
You may have heard of a tool called Port Reporter that logs TCP and UDP activity on a Windows 2000, XP or 2003 machine. On XP and 2003 it also captures more data about the user and process that opened the port. (Data that is also available with the -o flag on netstat). You can get the tool here. Well there is now a nice little gui tool called Port Reporter Parser to help you sort through the data.

It is not predefined. Only < > & " ' are predefined.
You can either use   or  , or you can define an entity like nbsp
for the same.
Try:
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<!DOCTYPE xsl:stylesheet [ <!ENTITY nbsp " "> ]>
<xsl:stylesheet xmlns="
http://www.w3.org/1999/XSL/Transform"; version="1.0">

While researching running dts package during my nant builds I ran across some intersting sql articles/code.
Cookbook for using SQL Server DTS 2000 with .NET - Tells you how to execute a dts package in .NET Code
ScriptJobs - ScriptJobs is a vbscrpit that uses SQL-DMO to script out all sql jobs or a single job at the time, identified by name or ID.
Save DTS Package to File -SQL Utility that comes with SQL2k that can be used to store a dts package to a file.
Execute DTS Package using VB.NET/C#/C++
Good list of MS SQL Information
Programatically Save DTS Packages to Files using DTSRUN
Save all DTS Packages to Files using T-SQL and sp_OA
Load DTS File to SQL Server
DTS and C#
DTS Package2 Hierarchy
After much search I found that to delete a DTS package from SQL you can use the dtsrun command and the /!D option.

One of the things I hate most about my MS keyboards is the f lock key. I am constantly having to turn this on and off depending on it I want to use the shortcut to maximize or restore my remote control desktop or not. Today I ran across a page that tells you how to fix this problem.
