MSDN TV has a good media file of a discussion among team leaders of agile (lighweight) development methods. It’s called “Agile Development in the Enterprise“. I’ve seen this discussed in the ASP.NET Weblogs and it’s pretty intriguing. I’ll provide more details as I get them.

Don’t know if this is an exclusive or not but you see that little map of the world up there next to the blogmatrix and blogrss logos? Well, blogmatrix hasn’t announced it yet but they’re getting ready to do so and I was just given a link to the page. Pretty cool! All the sites that provide location information to them is/will be mapped.

The BlogMatrix.com folks have figured out how to give the users of the free Blogger service (not Blogger Pro) a full-text RSS feed. And it’s free, too! So, that little up there will now give you a full-text RSS feed of this weblog complete with the correct title for each entry.

I’ve got Moveable Type V2.64 installed but the Blogger service is very easy and convenient to use. Coupled with the speed of the free hosting service provided by BlogSpot, it’s a nearly unbeatable combination in my opinion. No, Blogger isn’t as fancy as the MT system, nor is it as flexible and I’ve gotta find services that will provide an RSS feed and a comment capability but these are (hopefully) one-time investments in time on my part.

A barely passable article (here) for the uninitiated. It’s, like 4 paragraphs and glosses over the majority of the details, concentrating on the “news” aspect. Still, if you know nothing about RSS, it’s a start. It directs you to the information areas from the largest providers (Yahoo’s and Google’s) and makes no mention of my favorite reader, bloglines.com

Seen Cringely’s article on legal music sharing (here)? Doubt it would stand hold up in court but it’d be fun. Got a few million you’re not using?

This has been written about in a number of places but the best write-up I’ve seen is in Woody’s WINDOWS Watch #6.10 where he discusses system requirements, the new features in V2.10.00.00 and what features’ve been removed.

Forgot to put this in here, what, almost two weeks ago when it came up but here’s a link to the download page. They fixed a problem in the spreadsheet which prevented it from correctly displaying frozen window splits.

Rootsecure.net is another security site with good information about holes, exposures and tricks. RSS feed, too.

Another kinda interesting concept: send email to anything@mailinator.com and the mail will be waiting there for you to pick up. The mail only stays around for a couple of hours and there’s no password or anything. Truly “disposable” email addresses.
