My PDC envy is slightly abated...now I'll just have to get a new test machine (VMWare is cool and all, but you can't beat dedicated). Anyway, read all about it here at Bink. I really can't wait to play with some of the new Avalon stuff...This appears to be for…
Some very interesting stuff here. UPDATE: Just reading that article, things I'm looking forward to most are the URLMapping (Rewrite.NET is cool and all but it will be nice to have the new 'native' model) and 'No Compile' - I have been waiting for this for SO…

Well, got my iPod exchanged...working perfectly now. Firewire just rules (as does USB 2.0 which I use at work) - got roughly 3000 songs transferred over in under an hour...this is really just the prettiest thing I've ever owned, I just can't fault the design…
Umm..title says it all, Larkware linkis here, download link here
Another of my fairly simple functions (actually written by a colleague of mine, Jonny Anderson) - this time just a simple way to validate a Guid - in this implementation you pass in a Guid as an 'out' parameter along with the string you want to test - it then…
New release of the Data Access Application Block (funny, I thought version 2 had already been released...). Got this from Michael Swanson's blog.
