With the closure of GotDotNet this wonderful tool has gone missing. I redid my machine today and went looking for it. I couldn't find any alternative hosting for it either.
Does anyone have a copy of it that they can share please? Would greatly appreciate the help.
Thanks,
Tariq

Saw this post on Digg and I think it is pretty cool. I.e. using the black tarmac of roads to heat water for heating/cooling during the appropriate months.

Not that I use these things much, but on a few other occasions I have had the need to use Google Documents, and was quite contempt with it.
The scenario where I would personally see the need for these kind of applications is when I want to share documents and stuff, and also be restricted with not having the Office programs available, e.g. WebCafes etc.
So today moved by all the hype around the announcement of Office Live Workspaces I gave it a try, and I am impressed. The interface looks elegant, and I like the built in list functionality. What I was originally expecting was a scaled version of WSS on the web with a lot more functionality, but this seems better and more purposefully.
But now my requirement for having to be able to edit my documents in browser doesn't seem to be available, the site loads documents in the desktop Office client or requires you to install a browser add-in.
You guys can check it out, its currently open in Beta.

Yes as saddening that sounds, it seems it is true.
Having a bit of slack time and not being able to give VS2008 a whirl earlier due to project pressures, I broke it out today all eager to gauge what elegance this IDE brings, specially since I had the need to write a test WebPart.
Out of instinct I went File -> New Project -> *hold up where is the SharePoint Category.
So then me thinks ah! its not built in to the product, maybe another extension for Visual Studio.
So googled and found this post on Somarsegar's blog
Looks like I will have to be content with VS 2005 till Summer (hopefully).

I am actually pleased that today we have a bit of variety in tools that can generate BDC Application Definitions.
An addition to this list of tools is "MOSS BDC Design Studio" by Simego, which actually quite good and easy to use.
The site offers a 14 day trial version, and prices aren't that bad (but me thinks it should priced more a little bit more reasonably).
But still for all the tool is quite good, it seems to be limited to SQL Server and WebServices which is a limitation. The other limitation that I see is that it is not able to load an existing application definition file.
One pro from the tool mentioned above is that unlike most of the others it can actually generate entities for Stored Procedures and Views.
Check it out

This was on Digg today, and I thought it was worth linking to.
It seems like as Rambo gets older, either he is getting more accurate or has lost all hope for preserving human life. :)

A couple of days back Ravi gave me a shout out to this .NET Video youtube-wannabe site.
Check it out: www.dotnetvideos.net
But guess what he's there is a tempting offer at the site as well, a free subscription to asp.netPRO magazine on registration.
Thanks for the link Ravi

Yes, I ran into the above mentioned issue.
The solution is that fiddler does not catch url that go by "localhost" so the solution as mentioned in this blog is to replace localhost with localhost.

The InsideMicrosoft blog has a scoop spilling out a few details about Windows Mobile 7.
So far if this is true the OS will be awesome. Not sure about device support, the feature spectrum hints at motion sensors and multi-touch.
