Mostly code, sometimes something else, always slightly wacky.
Beginning Flickr Mashups
I’ve not got myself a copy yet, but its on order. Technical editors don’t seem to get free ones :)
And David Wilkinson is every technical editors dream writer – almost all of his code examples worked first go and he had a very thorough understanding of what he was trying to do, so my thanks go to him. Dave’s Flickr Photos.

I keep my eye on http://blogs.msn.com every so often, and one of the blogs (who has long ago been added to my blogroll) that has continually produced posts of immediate relevance to me (as a .Net developer) is Irena Kennedy’s blog, “AppDev: Something You Should Know” or “SYSK” for short :)
She’s done it again with her last post, how to target .Net 1.1 from within Visual Studio 2005 – Easily!
Thank you Irena, and keep up the good work.

Microsoft have released a new tool, Microsoft Photo Info which looks very interesting! I’ll give it a go and report back.

How times change – the following is taken from some installation notes dating only back to around 2000:
“Depending on the features installed on your host server, the e-Work web update could be as large as 20 MB in size. Please consider the time required to perform this download, and the impact on available bandwidth within your organization. To minimize impact on others, it is recommended that you perform the web update after normal business hours.”
20MB for an update seems quite small these days – I certainly wouldn’t be worrying about when I should download it. I’m currently downloading a 270MB installation file, I doubt thats slowing anyones network connection down much.
