Well I'm a big fan of .Net Rocks and dnrTV, if you haven't heard or seen these before then you should really spend some time in checking these out (I'll bring them in to work to save our network).
I've just come across another podcast produced by the same guys that produce .Net Rocks, but this time for Scott Hanselman called HaselMinutes. This weeks podcast covers XML technologies and covers the sort of things that I've go on about at work and at NIMTUG meetings about using the XMLReader over the DOM if all you want is to read the file/stream etc.
There are all sorts of nuggets in the podcast, but If I was to pick one it's probably the bit about www.xmlmvp.org which is a set extension libraries for the .Net XML Framework written by a group of XML MVPs with the things that they think that MS missed out of System.XML. The library that I'm going to spend some time looking in to is the EXSLT.net, this provides a .net implementation of the industry standard extensions on to XSLT.

Well last night saw our first ITPro event at NIMTUG.
Darren Dillon did a presentation on SMS and MOM and showed how to monitor windows and non-windows system over a network.
Personally as a developer, who looks after environments, talks to hosting companies and builds complete enterprise level solutions, I find this sort of information about what can be done really useful.
Thanks to Microsoft and Colm Torris for organising last night event.
We will be posting the presentation and links up on the NIMTUG site in the next couple of days

Hopefully this will appear not only on my personal blog but also on my NIMTUG blog.
Fingers crossed

I've already got a blog on my personal site which is running on dasBlog. You can set up dasBlog (and most Blog software) to cross-site post, which enables you to write the blogs in one place and post them to many other blog sites.
This is useful when you've got an internal work blog, but there are some that you want to post to a public blog.
I did get it working however it did start writing them to Damien's blog rather than mine :S. I know what the problem is but I can't get it sorted until I get back home and tweak the config files manually.
BTW. Thanks to Damien for getting the site updated. I know it took a few late nights!
